I Library Corner ;;; iniitiasERtViGE Review of books FIVE SMOOTH STONES by Ann Fairbourn This is the story of a man whose life is as much his people's as it is his own. David Chaplin is a Negro born in New Orleans during the worst of the Depression, and his story spans generations, classes, races and continents. The story began at David's birth and continues through his childhood where he learned to live in a world where being a black man was not considered an asset. He was taught these lessons by the experiences of day to day living but they were softened by love and understanding of his grandfather 'L'il' Joe', who did not nurture the seeds of hate that were daily planted in David's mind. And it is also 'L'il' Joe' thatt instilled in his grandson a deep respect and love for the heritage of his people. But the key to the world's opportunities was given to David Champlin by a Dainsh professor, Bjarne Knudsen. The professor guided the boy's education and provided him with the necessary knowledge so that no opportunities could legitimately be refused him. David moved from New Orleans, to a small Midwestern College, to Harvard Law School, and then to Oxford; he gained respect and stature as a lawer and was offered an import ant diplomatic position by the government. And it was Sara who loved him and stood by him during this period of his life despite his insistence that their marriage could never work in the existing world. This is not only a tragic success story but it also gives the reader a glimpse at the American Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's. The problems that have had to be faced and some of the reasons behind the problems and their complicated solutions. The story is told from a Black Point of view but the reader is always aware of Sara and her point of view as a white girl.

Young Billy Huber, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Huber, has been hospitalized for sev- eral days. He was admitted to San Juan Hospital Dec. 16 with the flu, and although it was not the Hong Kong flu he was a very ill little boy. He passed out on the xray table and had to be returned to bed. He was released Dec. 20 and is doing fine now. Mr. Bob Howell will have family visiting for the holiStan-fon- d days. His sons Jerry and and daughter Margo are here from California. They will make the return trip after New Year's. How very nice to know some one cares enough about our children to devote an entire business day to them and their recreation. Mary Wells, operator of the Kiva Cafe in Bluff, has done just that. She spent her Christmas Eve in preparation for the party she held from 6 til 11 that evening for local teenagers. The Cafe was closed to accommodate the 25 happy guests. Some of the children came earlier in the day to help with the decorating. Mrs. Wells served sandwiches, cookies, hot chocolate, nuts and candies. Lonnie Wilson and Jackie Howard assisted her in the supervision. Three local boys brought along their musical instru- ments to provide music for the dancing couples. Goodies eaten, games played and all danced out, everyone left for home very happy indeed on this Christmas Eve. Our thanks and congratulations to Mary for sharing her holiday spirit with us.
