w.< -TX^./U -H y; Thursday, September 27, 1962^^- :1"*;'SL THE McHENRY "THE BOOK OF NEGRO FOLKLORE," edited by Langston Hughes and Arna Bontemps. No greater contribution has been made to American culture than that of the Negro people. From the earliest days , of our history to modern times, Negro music, songs, stories ?fid poetry have enriched the conization of our country. Langston Hughes and Arna Bontemps, whose own works have become an integral part of the Negro cultural heritage, have gathered in this volume a wealth of representative selections from the folklore of the Negro in the United States, ranging from anete-b e 11 u m days to the present, and originating on the plantation and tie levee, in Old New Orleans, Chicago and Harlem. Included are the animal tales and rhymes (such as those of Brer Rabbit), games, spirituals and blues as well as modern gospel songs, jazz and jive. There are early slave memories, accounts of hoodoo and ghost stories, together with contemporary folk tales derived ,^,/n today's race relations and Actions of songs, poetry and prose in the folk manner by l e a d i n g N e g r o w r i t e r s a n d musicians. The distinguished collection of the old and the new, the fantastic and the factual, the humorous and the sad, makes fascinating reading. "THE LIVES AND LEGENDS OF BUFFALO BILL," Don Russell. Few Western Americans have been more often written about than William F. Cody, the "Buffalo Bill" of-'history, the dime novel, and popukir lore. But like Mike Fink of keelboat fame, he remains for most people not quite credible. Yet, when the myths are stripped away and the later, flamboyant show years are re- U^fved to proper proportions, Cody emerges as he truly was: a hardy, daring plainsman ' in leathern Brithches." The aspects of this biography which are important are several: the whole career of tW plainr.min is presented; it is the only biography, in fact, which contains any major assault upon the Army records dealing with Cody's scouting ^ireer; and it relates with skill and insight the truths behind the legends exploited in contemporary dime novels, the stage, and the Wild West show. No scholar, Bill Cody proved a fish out of water during his school days on Salt Creek in Kansas Terrilory (he had been born in 1S46 in Iowa). After an escapade when he was scarcely a dozen years old, he a boy's job with Majors and Russell, military freighters. and between 1857 and 1859 found the lure of the open prairie, first as an apprentice bull-whacker, next as a young rider for the Pony Express. 'Afler service at the a*?e of 18 in the Civil War, he be^an the lop^ series of adventures which in time made his name a legend; scouting for General jpherman as early as 1865, as a regular mili'arv scout on the plains after 1S67, with Crook on the Rosebud and Yellowstone Expeditions in 1876, with interludes as buffalo hunter, guide to the Grand Duke Alexis, ?nd showman with Texas Jack Ornohundro, and in his laler years as the delight of youngsters and romantics in the role of principal in Buffajjpft Bill's Wild West show. Buffalo Bill achieved early in life the stature of a hero to McHenry Library Corner Main and Green Street* HOURS Daily, including Saturday: 2 to 5 p.m. Friday livening*: 7 to 9 p.m. his countrymen, for his raw courage in single combat with an Indian or Indians, for his epic feats in the slaughter of plain bison, and for his daring as a lone scout in "enemy territory." Now, a century later, he typifies perhaps better than any other man of his era the adventurous spirit in the years between the end of the Civil War and the settlement of the West. "THE BADGE/' by Jack Webb. The originator and star of television and radio's famed "Dragnet" series brings you the authentic story of a mighty police force in action, highlighted by dramatic cases that he could not present on television. Years of first-hand study in every department made this book possible.

You'll confront some of America's most dangerous lawbreakers . . . watch the Los Angeles police department --the LAPD--mobilize all its resources to track them down. You'll see the Patrol. Bureau's "rolling stake" trap Donald Bashor, the murderer who terrorized a whole section of the city. You'll watch Homicide close in on gaunt, toothless Stephen Nash, "King of Killers."

Nate Saint's short, intense life was as full of incident and accident as any activfe young American's could be, but it was also full of entire dedication to the cause that claimed it; that of offering the Gospel of Christ to the last and loneliest outpost of man. Here is the whole amazing story, from harumscarum boyhood to the last burst of activity in planning the memorable airborne mission to the Aucas --much of it told in Nate's own vivid language. Nate Saint was early destined for his role as a pioneer, fre came from a long line of inventors and was born into a family where art, mechanics, and deep religious faith seemed mixed in equal proportions. After a tour of duty in- the Air Force, cut short by a recurrence of osteomyelitis, he joined the now well-known Missionary Aviation Fellowship in its early days as mechanicpilot. Before long he became the planner and logistics expert of "Operation Auca." It was he who worked out dozens of ingenious aids to their missionary enterprises and as oilot perfected the now-famous "bucket drop" for plane-toground communication. Nate was as curious, impulsive and experimental a boy as ever pushed daylight in an American small town. His love of "gimmicks" oft times dismayed, sometimes blessed his playmates and associates as he grew older. But the slightest incident might uncover his deep seriousness, his passion for soul-winning, for supporting God's people in their attack on ignorance and savagry. Having given his love so often and so freely, he found it easy to accept the Greater Love offered him as he and his fourteammates met their God on "Palm Beach" in Auca-land.
