BY MRS. E. 8 HARRIS
You are missing a real treat
if you fail to see the two beau-
tiful pictures loaned to us for
our May display Both of these
W” x 18” palefr knife paint-
ings are beautifully framed,
and they are for sale. One is
entitled “Parks Crossing" and
the other, “A Summer’s Day,”
both works of Mrs. Ralph A.
Smith of Lakeside Village.
A beautful desk has been
placed in the library, honoring
the memory of the late Mrs.
Oris E. (Alma) Pierson. She
spec many years as a librarian
on both high school and col-
lege levels, and this was the
manner in which several of her
friends chose to perpetuate her
memory.
Is there anyone who, as a
youngster, did not read books
about the Bobbsey Twins, the
Dana Girls, the Hardy Boys,
Tom Swift Jr. or shiver
through the Nancy Drew Mys-
teries? Recently here was an
interesting article in the Dallas
Morning News about Harriet
S. Adams, who under name or
another, has writlten and pub-
lished 165 books, for children,
ages 8-14, she suggested.
Perhaps you knew her as
Carolyn Keene. Franklin W.
Dixon, Laura Lee Hope, Victor
Appleton II, or other ficticious
pen names, but her real name
is Harriet S. Adams, a viva-
cious 83-year-old lovely lady ,
who ia still writing!
She has made a habit of writ-
ing six books in each series,
and the combined sales of six
of these series now stands at
150 million copies since 1930.
The many familiar characters
whom st« created have now
become a part of Americana.

Perhaps that is one of the rea-
sons we are hearing grown-ups
inquiring about these titles.
But now other new features
have evolved because of this
author’s creativity. hTis year
ABC-TV haa been running
weekly adventure series based
on Nancy Drew and the Hardy
Boys. Grossct and Dunlap pub-
lishers of the books by this
author, plan to introduce an
entirely new Nancy Drew pic-
ture-book series for 5- to 7-
year-olds. They are also at
work now on “activity books”
for older youths based on these
same favorite characters.
Yes, we do have 30 of these
books in our local library which
are already in demand. We
hope to acquire more titles for
you to enjoy.
New books are being added
weekly. An order of 25 new
books for children just ar-
rived. Other attention-getters
include: hTey Called Him Wild
Bill; Step-By-Step Macrame;
Loretta. Lynn biographical ac-
count of a colorful country
singer; Raise the Titanltic,
which has been on the best
seller list for several weeks;
the heart-warming Small Won-
der by Paul Gallico, and Mem-
bers of the Legislature, a cur-
rent, annotated collection of
biographies.
We are grateful to the Clif-
ton Magazine Club which gra-
ciously presented us with a
sizeable check for books which
are now being selected.

Central Telephone Company of

net income rose 14.3 per cent
to $14.9 million on revenues of
$114.2 million, up 14.3 per
cent. Clifton Telephone Com-
pany is a part of Contel of Tex-
as.
Primary earnings from con-
tinuing operations increased
11.7 per cent to 67c per ave-
rage common share, compared
with a restated 60c per share
in the 1976 quarter on a
larger number of shares out-
standing. The year earlier
quarter also included earnings
equal to 5c a share from ope-
rations sold.
For the 12 months ended
March 31, income from contin-
uing operations was $55.6 mil-
lion, up 15.1 per cent, while
revenues advanced 12.1 per
cent to $432 million. Primary during 1977.
earnings from continuing op-
erations were $2.56 per aver-
age common share, up 13.3 per
cent from a restated $2.26 per
share in the corresponding
1976 period.
Robert P. Reuse, chairman
and president, credited the
first quarter gain to “excep-
tionally strong earnings" from
telephone operations.
Long distauce message vol-
umes, up 11.6 per cent from a
year ago, registered their
strongest gain in two years, al-
though Reuss attributed part
of the increase to heavy call-
ing during severe weather in
January and February. The

area grew 7 per cent during
