Story Hour
Group Has
Meet Wednesday
Attendance at the Story Hour
at the Breckenridge I'ublir Library
continues to increase. Sixty-three
children attended Wednesday aft-
ernoon.
"The Case of the Smuggled
Ruby" by Frances McGuire was
concluded for the 1:30 group. The
mystery was solved and the smug-
glers captured and all ended well
for the Mulford family. The excit-
ing and dangerous trip from China
to San Francisco was one not to
be soon forgotten for the whole
family, especially the twelve year
old twins, Ted and Fred. At the
next meeting of the group which
will be July 11 a new story will be
started.
At 2:45 p. m. twenty-four chil-
dren in the second and third grades
heard more of the exciting events
from the book "Nellie and Her
Flying Crocodile" by Chad Walsh.
Hunky, the flying crocodile escapes
from the circus after he had been
stolen and placed in the circus.
Nellie and her parents are quite
happy to have him back. Mr. Blith-
ers atempts to have Hunky taken
back to his home because he said
he was catching all of his fish.
After Hunky rescues Mr. Blithers
from a storm and saves his life,
Mr. Blithers changed his mind.
Next week there will be more of
the happenings at Lake Iroquois.
In addition, a mystery story will
be started.
The pre-school age children en-
joyed two stories from "Miss Fran-
ces' Book of Manners for Young
Moderns" by Horwich. They were
on "Please'* and "Excuse Me."
These stories were followed with
two animal stories from "Forest
Friends." For the last storv of the
afternoon Mrs. Doty read the story
of "The Three Apples." Mrs. Doty-
first told the children that the
story had no pictures to show but
she wanted them to make their
own pictures in their minds. She
told of the characters and told
them what they were like. When
the children all agreed that they
had the picture in their minds she
read the story.
Due to the 4th of July celebra-
tion the Story Hour groups will
not meet until Wednesday, July 11.
The mothers are urged to keep
the date change in mind and not to
forget the meeting on the 11th.
