He was 84.He succumbed at St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, where he had been for treatment of cancer since September.Ruggles’ career dated back to 1907 and encompassed stage, films, radio and television. He starred in two short-lived television series, “The Ruggles” and “The World of Mr. Sweeney.”A short, chunky fellow with a look of mischief in his eyes, he was regarded as one of Hollywood’s most skilled character actors.His early films were almost exclusively comedies — “Charlie’s Aunt,” “Ruggles of Red Gap,” “Her Wedding Night,” “Love Me Tonight,” “The Smiling Lieutenant.” He often played the long-suffering husband of scatterbrained Mary Boland: so consistently fans were convinced they were married in real life.Q05New Books at Salem Public LibraryJohn C. Bender, LibrarianWHISTLE AND I’LL COMETO YOU by Agnes Turnbull. The title of this book is a promise and those who take the pledge take us with them into the gentle world of the 20th century - the era of parasols, trolley cars, of summer evenings on the porch and Christ-THE WILD RUNNERS by Mel Ellis. The wild runners in Mr. Ellis’s latest novel are an American Indian half - breed boy and the coy-dog he finds in the deep woods of northern Wisconsin. Sired by a hound and whelped by a woods wolf, the coy-dog cannot adjust to do-which he is ready to accept or be accepted.Joanne Greenberg’s author of I Never Promised You A Rose Garden displays similar gifts and power in her new novel IN THIS SIGN which deals with a similarly neglected subject - the silent world of the deaf. Abel and Janice Ryder, young, inexperienced, ignorant, bewildered, leave an insensitive school and home for the handicapped, marry, and enter life along the Hearing. The book has numerous levels of interest including a strong argument in favor of Sign Language over lip-reading as a means of communication.Kingsley Amis’ new novel, superficially at least, is a ghost story in which his hero Alling-ton who runs THE GREEN MAN (a very elegant inn but also a haunted house) is beset on all sides - by his own nocturnal hallucinations, by everpresent hypochondria, and by the encroachment of delirium tremors since he drinks a bottle a day.MANDALA is one of Pearl Buck’s rare novels about India. Centering her story around a modern princely family of the New India, she explores the mysticism that pervades everyday life there. Extrasensory perception, reincarnation, and spirits are very real concerns of the Maharana Prince Jagat and his family.Common Pleas CourtDivorces AskedEdith G. Davidson, 365 S.
