It - is a hundred stories in one, the story of emigrant and immigrant, the outlaw's story, the little girl's story, the murderer's story--the story of the dedicated young surgeon, hogbreeder, poetess, religious exhorter-- nf the Indian woman who harvests her crops in the •midst of simmering violence. Within these pages swarm the men, women and children who, in the 1850's plunged from New England, the Ohio Valley, or the central crowded East to wide Iowa country, led in passion by their dream. They came to make new homes. Nor did they move against an anonymous foe. In this mighty ^book the American Indian 'rises in fullfledged reality to make the reader conversant at last with the Indian manner and heart. "Spirit Lake" is as much the saga of those who resisted, as it is of those who came to .take the land. The prayer is here, so is the massacre. High over all, above Dakota war chant and rumbling wagon wheels, rises a £ choral hymn to the eternal dream which will not be put down--which will resound as long as there are American.-- ">ng it. BUT NOT IN SHAME" by John Toland "But Not in Shame" is the dramatic story of those dark and crucial months during which American soldiers, sailors and marines--as well as ]f civilians--fought bravely with UNITED OTES TH DIST. William M C what they had t6 stem the greatest series of military disasters in our history. The book begins with the race to decode intercepted secret Japanese messages the day before the Pearl Harbor attack, and ends six months later with the stunning victory which unexpectedly turned the tide--the Battle of Midway. More than an exciting narrative of battles and leaders, it is a story of the individuals on both sides who took part in the most critical d e c i s i o n s a n d m o m e n t o u s events. Here are the personal narratives of men like Navy Lieutenant Champlin, who on his own initiative destroyed the great oil reserves at Manila-- of Yates McDaniel, the last correspondent out of Singapore --of the Dutch Admiral Helfrich, who was determined to fight to the end in Java against all odds--of the Japanese officer whose all-too-human decision during the Battle of Midway contributed to an Arrierican victory. Based on extensive and often new research, "But Not In Shame" recaptures a remarkable period in American history, a time not only of unequalled crisis but of matchless human interest and drama. "LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE IN SOCIETY" by Hugh Dalziel Duncan This book has been donated to our library by the author in honor of his mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander K. Duncan, 3012 West Still Hill diive, McHenry. Dr. Duncan has organized this work on the sociology of literature and art into three sections, in the first of which he discusses literature in its social functions as great art, as magic, and as make believe. In the second he offers a theory of symbolic action--how people use verbal images to engender peace or war, stability or instability. The social order as a structure of images by which communication and identity are achieved comprises the third section of the book. A detailed and extensive bibliography--- unique in its organization and completeness, first of its kind --is also included. When the first edition of this book appeared in 1953 it achieved the unusual distinction of being hailed both by professional sociologists and literary critics. The American Journal of Sociology called it a "book with highly significant implications for more general problems in sociological theory and method." and Robert Morss Lovett called it a "philosophy of literature with humor and ir.cisiveness." Hugh Dalziel Duncan belongs to the rare breed of independent scholars. His study and home are in Flossmoor, 111. His interests range from theoretical sociology to the architecture of Chicago.

BRANCHES OF RED CROSS BUSY WITH FUND DRIVE The fund drive chairman of the McHenry county, chapter of the American Red Cross, Thomas G. Sexton, states that the following branches in the county, Alden. Algonquin, Fox River Grove, Harvard, Hebron, Huntley, McHenry, Richmond, Wonder Lake and Woodstock, are all actively engaged in the solicitation of Red Cross memberships. Mr. Sexton expresses the hope that any resident of McHenry county who is not contacted personally, or by mail, will see that a check or contribution is left in the local bank or sent directly to the Red Cross office in Woodstock. Mrs. Mable Pike of the East side of Wonder Lake reports that the subdivisions there have been solicited. Due to the inclement weather and serious road conditions in the rural areas, many volunteer workers have been unable to solicit, but Mr. Sexton hopes to have the quota met by the end of March.
