New Books At Library
The receipt of three interest
ing new books at the Hyder
Public Library is reported by
B. B. Smith, librarian.
“Public Faces,” by Harold
Nicholson, is a fanciful tale of
1932-39 and presents among
other novel developments of
the period a new metal; a
rocket airplane that travels
faster than the earth and a
bomb that can destroy New
York City. The story also
brings in the British cabinet,
a Persian concession, the
League of Nation,?, the United
States, France, Germany and
Russia in accord, and general
disarmament. Full of “if’s,”
but good reading.
“Enchanted Winter,” by Mar
tin Hare, is a story of Irish
family life; filled with amusing
situations, wity, interesting,
and well worth reading.
“The Secret Way,” by J. S.
Fletcher, is a mystery story and
not bad.
Halibut on Increase
Halibut, one of Alaska’s most
important wealth resources,
are increasing in the Territor
ial waters, according to Inter
national Fisheries Commission
experts now conducting re
searches. The scientists have :
established a portable hatchery
at Seward, in which they are
attempting for the first time in !
history to hatch halibut from !
eggs.
