Child's Books Art Exhibited
Original drawings and paintings for children's books are being shown at Spooner-Thayer Art museum until March 5. The exhibit was prepared by the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
The exhibit consists of subjects interested to children, and is limited to books published within recent years. Many of the books, such as Susanne Suba's "The Gentle Giraffe" and "The Elegant Elephant" are about talking animals. Another book, Elizabeth Old's "The Big Fire," has illustrations of old horse-drawn fire engines and of modern fire-fighting equipment.

Some of the books are by contemporary artists not identified solely with illustrations for children's books. Among them are Jean Charlotte, who has illustrated with color lithographs "A Child's Goodnight Book" for younger children; and the Brazilian painter, Candido Portinari, who is represented by the gaily-colored "Maria Rosa."

Lady Ghost Still Haunting Boston Fort
Boston—(UP)—A modern touch has been added to the legend of the ghostly "Lady in Black" who reputedly haunts Ft. Warren in Boston harbor. Capt. Charles Norris, retired commander of the fort, placed little belief in the "ghost" of the southern girl who was hanged as a spy after trying to free her husband, a Confederate prisoner, during the Civil war.
However, he did admit a "strange experience" one night.
He reported a light, cold touch on his shoulder while he was reading in his quarters. He dozed off, only to be awakened by the telephone.
Norris picked up the phone, but there was no answer. He signalled the operator who said there had been a call, but "your wife took it." Mrs. Norris, however, was in Boston at the time
