There was no J>cemnb.r meeting because 6f the extra meeting I September. Mr&. Wight contmented on these special meetings whlch 1have made for a most lxlterést- ing season thus far. She called on Mrs. Fred Stevens who in- troduced thé speaker, a jour- nalist and pat president of the Héhiconian Club. Mrs. Junor Is also a mémber a! the Womenm's Press Club and a piat exécutive member ai the Can. Authors' Association. She bas been re- viéwing bocks for Granite Club mémbers for many years. "Autabiography 4nd biogre- phy are my favorites," Mrs. Junor said. "For this aftémnoon 1 will nat touch an navels." When radio first carne in, thé speaker sald, publishers and 5thérs greetly fearéd the efféct thé new médium wofmld have on réading. After thé firat nov- elty had worm ai, however, thé sale ,of bocks became even greater, o!ten. asslsted by thé book reviews and publicity on radio. The same fears were held be- causé o! telévision, but again the navelty wore off, and sta- tistics show reading growing al thé time. The cost of producing books, however, bas incréased so that for a publisher and au- thon ta make any monéy on a book et léast 7,500 bocks have to be sold. Mrs. Junor drew attention to thé fact that tbough the rçtail price oi books may seem high, it has only doubled, wherea rent, fond any mnany offher items bave trebled. The speakc- er expressed lier falth in the continuance ai reading. "I dôn't think anything will su- perséde books," skie said. "In books we fibd wisdam, educa- tien and plesure." Before proceéding ta détail- ed reviews, Mrs. Junor men- tianed soame biographies pub-. lished last year, ineluding aà biagaraphy of Victor flugo by Andre Maurois, and the "King of Paris", the story of Alexan- dre Dumas (Pere) by Guy En- dore. Cmntdian autobiographies ré- donimended by Mrs. Junor in- cluded "Neyer a Day So Bright" by Kate Aîtken, memories of an Ontario childhood; "Memory's Wall" by Lady Eaton, and "I Brought The Ages Home" byý C. T. Currelly. In detailed revew, Mrs. Junor pve the story of "Lions In The Way" by Anne Wilkinson. The subi ect of this book is tile: Os- 1Cr family of whorn perhaps the béat known w&4 Sir William Os- lèr whose contributions to the medical field were of outstand- ing importance. Written iby a great-great- grand-daughter cf the first Os- 1er to corne to Canada from England, the book tells much of interest about pianeer lufe as sien by Featherstone and Ellen Osler who first settled at Te- curnseh in 1887 where Featherý storie was minister. Four of their sons became brilliant men and the book goes on ta teil o! their éducation and careers, with many amusing anecdotes. Mrs. Junar read înteresting excerpts from "Lions In The Way"'. "Les Girls" by Con- stance Tomkinson, the speaker also reviewed in some détail. This is the book written by the Canadian minister's daughter who became a member oi thé famed Folies Bergere in Paris. If the congregation had known what Constance was dôing in Europe, it would have béen scandalized, but no one but the family knew until she wroté a book about it a few months ago. Begun es an article for the Atlantic magazine, thé editor, Eciward Weekes, suggested that thé idea be éxpanded into a boo. "es irls" bas been bigb- lsuccsful in England and on this continent and movie ights have been sold as well. Mrs. Junor also necommend- éd "The Romance of a Great City" by Katherine Hale the story cf Toronto, and "Let's Ali Hate Toronto" by Jack MeLar- en.
