the pictures which could be found

photographers who was located there

he was in business here.
The wiles of the small town photo

INTERESTING NAVAL BOOKS
The riattsmouth public library has
been fortunate in obtaining two
outstanding books for their shelves
to be used by the public. Both
books are of a naval nature, making
very interesting and enjoyable read
ing material for both young and old.
The books that the library was for
tunate in obtaining are: "The Ram
parts We Watch," by George Field
ing Eliot, and "Annapolis Today,"
by Kendall Banning.
The following is a brief sketch of
the "Annapolis Today" book which
is the better of the two:
"For almost a hundred years the
United States Naval Acamedy at
Annapolis has trained the commis
sioned officers of our navy. Rich in
tradition and achievement, Annapolis
has reason to be proud of the thou
sands of 'officers and gentlemen who
have received their schooling 'where
Sever meets the tide.' "
This book offers a fully rounded
picture of life at the naval academy.
The career of the typical midship
man is closely followed at every stage
from the anxious .but exciting today
when the peble L sworn in to that
proud moment four' years later when
he receives his commission as an
ensign in the navy or a second lieu
tenant in the marine corps. His
work and his play, in fact every ac
tivity which goes to make up his
crowded life, receives its due quota
of attention. Nor is the visitor to
Annapolis forgotten. All of the
questions he is likely to ask about
the history, customs, and regulations
of the academy are clearly answered
and there is even a chapter on what
every drake (midshipman slang for
the visiting girl friend) should know.
Mr. Uanning's story has movement
and charm and, best of all, complete
authenticity. Any reader who is in
terested In Annapolis and who isn't
will find it delightful reading.
Kendall Banning is also the au
thor of "West Point Today," a vol
ume describing life at the United
States Military Academy which con
tains much information on the less
official aspects of the training of
soldiers. "Annapolis Today" makes a
fascinating companion volume of Mr.
Banning's book on "West Point."

in old age insurance benefits in Jan

Since the beginning or the pro
gram, Nebraska workers and their
families had received cash payments
totalling $61,953.09 up to the end
of January 1939. Mr. Smith stated
that these single -cash payments arc
now being made to commercial and
industrial employees who have reach
ed age 05 since January 1, 1937, or
to the families or estates of workers
who have died.
Claims forms forbid age insurance
payments and assistance in filing
them can be secured, without charge,
at the Lincoln office of the board.

It Was Different Monday.
Sunday the radio sent out the
warning there was to be a 'moderate"
cold wave, and it came, but few seem
ed to find any moderation in it.
Speaking of the snappy spell Rural
Carrier Robert -H. Chapman said:
"When the sun shines bright and
the weather is nice and warm, he
sees his patrons out buzzing around
on the farm and talking over the
fances with their neighbors. But last
Monday nary a one did he see, they
did not even come out to get the
mail when he went past." The kind
of weather which comes and goes
makes a difference.
