To a city girl who cared nothing about feminine things, the country was the most marvelous place and goats the most wonderful animals. Callie Bronson wanted her own herd of goats more than anything else in the world, and her dream was about to come true. Uncle Patch's goat, White Lady, was about to give birth and Uncle Patch had promised the kids to Callie. But Callie's dreams were shattered when she learned that her family had decided to move back to town because her father's business just wouldn't support their farm. That very night Callie had a visitor. Cyclops, another of Uncle Patch's goais, led Callie and her brothers into a memorable night of adventure, which helped them solve the secret of Indian Ridge. How Callie's wish came true; how she learned that big brothers are not so bad after all, and proved that goats are quite intelligent are all just some of the incidents that make up this wonderful story. It is written with warm sympathy and understanding of a girl's love of nature and the problems this engenders with her family. ADULT FICTION "Jamie" by Jack Bennett. It has taken twenty-five years, but here at last is a novel to take its place beside "The Yearling." This is the story of the early maturing of a boy exposed to the rigors and cruelty of a land that can be as harsh as it is lovely. Jrmie Carson is a twelve-year-old growing up on a South African farm. His life is idyllic but never dull. With horses, dog and gun, with a warm relationship with his wolf, Lieutenant Mowat, is your problem!" In those pages Farlev Mowkt describes an Arctic summer spent watching and tracking the activities of a wolf family which he came to know better than he knew himself. Like others before him who made close acquaintance with the wolf, Mowat found the wolf, in fact, to be very different from the wolf of legend. Though he saw his wolves, at first, as objects for study, they soon became more than that. The regal, silver-white male, austerely indent ified as Wolf "A" in the official notebook, soon turns into "George"; his graceful, ebullient mate is "Angeline"; and the single male, baby-sitter for the four mischievous cubs, turns into "Uncle Albert." Mowat unraveled the complex tactics of wolves on a hunt; investigated the male rituals of marking off the "family boundaries." He tested, by trying it himself, the nutritional value of the wolf's summer diet-mice. He observed the hospitality meted out to visiting wolves and learned how cubs are reared and educated. He found that the wolf is an adept fisherman, a loyal spouse, and impressive lover. From Ootek, an Eskimo steeped in the ways of wolves, he learned something of their language, and of the meaning behind the Eskimo saying. "The wolf keeps the caribou strong." Written with compassion and humor, "Never Cry Wolf" takes us out of ourselves and into the animal kingdom. It is a captivating book, destined to take its place on the shelf of animal classics near "Born Free," "A Ring of Bright Water," "The Incredible Journey," and alongside an earlier Mowat book, "The Dog Who Wouldn't Be." "Black Like Me" by John Howard Griflin. John Howard Griffin undertook in the fall of 1959 a personal assignment to find out the hard way, possibly the only way a white man can, what it is like to be a Negro in the South. He decided to darken his skin and travel through several southern states. "Black Like Me" is the record, offered in all its crudity and rawness, of this dangerous and often terrifying mission. Mr. Griffin found a doctor in New Orleans who was willing, with some misgivings, to give him the necessary medication (a drug used in the cure of vitiligo). By accelerated treatments and the use of a sun lamp, he was able to make the change in five days. From Nov. 7 to Dec. 14 he hitchhiked, walking, and rode the buses through Mississippi, Alabama, back to New Orleans, and finally to Atlanta, living always on the dark side of towns, in rooming houses and cheap hotels. He learned what it was like to search for miles across lish contact with the study a city for a glass of water or species." In other words, "The a bathroom, to buy a ticket, parents, and with liis friendship for Kiewiet, a black boy of his own age. But suddenly life on De Goede Hoop, the farm whose every inch Jamie loves, turns into a nightmare. A severe drought strikes the area: the sky is a merciless blue, livestock perish from lack of water, crops shrivel in the heat. One day a buffalo bull, maddened by thirst, comes off the reserve in search of water and forges a path of violence which changes Jamie's life and plunges him toward the brink of destruction. Written with quite simplicity, Jamie reveals the broad sweep of the land through the experiences of an adventurous boy--the sounds and frightening silences of the bush, the human qualities of the silent, proud people and the drama of their fight for survival against drought, erosion and wild animals. This is a story that sweeps the reader along, and it is all the more compelling for the clear, unsentimental manner in which Jack Bennett writes. NON-FICTION "Never Cry Wolf" by Farley Mowat (author of "The Dog Who Wouldn't Be."* A rattletrap plane landed on a frozen lake in the Keewatin Barrens, unceremoniously deposited one man Hnd a mountain of supplies, and lurched off again into the sky. Farley Mowat, official biologist for the Canadian government, had arrived at his destination. His mission: "to determine the range population ration of Canis lupus in order to estabto try to cadi a traveler's check, to walk the streets at night as "...an aging, bald Negro--through a land hostile to my color, hostile to my skin." Non-Fiction "THE JANOWSKA ROAD" t*y Leon W. Wells. This book describes the life of a teon-age boy from his sixteenth to his twentieth year. The boy's name: Leon Welickzer, of Lvov, Poland. The years: 1941-1945. , In 1941 the Germans came to Poland --and the Welickzers were Jews. Leon's father could only say: "Trust in God... and all will be well." His uncle said: "Perhaps you will be the last survivor of the family, the one who will permit it to live on." He escaped. He was recaptured and assigned to the "Death Brigade" that obliterated, with bonfires and bonecrushers, the evidence of the Third Reich's guilt: millions of human corpses. Leon escaped again, and then once more. He lived to testify at Nuremberg and at the Fichmann trial. Leon Wells tells this story without rancor, without bitterness. Why? Mr. Wells quotes the Book of Job: "O earth, cover not my blood and let my cry find no resting place-. Leon Wells speaks for his own murdered family and for over six million people. No bet ter definition can be given of this book than that given of the Jewish Kaddish: a hymn in praise of God, recited as a mourner's prayer. FIRE MARSHALS PUT SAFETY SEAL ON HOLIDAY TIME Boys and girls in the elementary schools in the McHenry area are putting the seal of safety on the Christmas holidays. The youngsters are members of the Junior Fire Marshal program, and this year they are putting on a campaign to reduce the number of fires and accidents that occur during the holiday season. An unusual and colorful part of the pupils' campaign will be the use of special seals stressing safety in connection with seasonal fire hazards, automobiles and playtime activities. "Unfortunately, s t a t i s t i cs show that the Christmas and New Year's holidays are one of the worst times of the year for fires and accidents," points out Virgil R. Pollock. His firm is sponsoring the Junior Fire Marshal prpgram in the McHenry area as part of a national fire prevention and safety program. The youngsters will put the seals on Christmas gifts, party invitations, Christmas cards, letters and thank-you notes. The seals are furnished to the youngsters free of charge and are not for sale. As another part of their campaign, the Junior Fire Marshals will make Christmas tree safety tags. The tags will list the ways to prevent the danger of the tree catching on fire while in the house. The JFM list will carry these reminders: Stand" tree in water or bucket of wet sand. Check tree lights for frayed wire, loose sockets. Keep tree away from radiator, fireplace and doors. Use only fire-resistant decorations. Turn off tree lights when you go out. Keep gift wrappings and electric trains away from tree. When needles start to fall, remove tree from house. The youngsters in McHenry are joining 4.500,000 Junior Fire Marshals in 10,000 communities across the country in the special holiday safety campaign. Boys and girls qualified ing National Fire Prevention Week by' completing fire in-^ spections of their own homes* The Junior Fire Marshal program is a year-round activity in the schools.
