Dinner Here Editor's Note: Following is the text of Lt. Governor Smith's address to Smith's address to the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce Tuesday night: When I got around to thinking of a subject for tonight, something kept recurring to me that has been on my mind for a long time. This subject is not one usually discussed at a meeting like this. It may seem just a lit- tle "off -beat" to you, but in my opinion it has real pertinence at any meeting of good American citizens. I have given this talk a title: "The Right To Know." The 60th regular session of the Texas Legislature has been a matter of specula- tion for some time. Now it has become a reality; in a few months it will be history. t i it t d in th "F.4 f is some valid argum ent that such commit Some may say: "So what?" Others, perhaps a little more alert to the growing impact of government unbusi- ness and on society in general, will want to know: "What's happening. Bills will be introduced, debated, and passed or defeated affecting your taxes... your schools...your water resources and supply.. ,the procedures of your courts and law enforcement officers ... your roads and streets... perhaps -the business you oper- ate or the profession you follow...wages and hours, insurance rates, unemployment compensation --literally dozens of things that can affect you, your family, your live- lihood and your pocketbook. These are things you should know about -- things you have a RIGHT to know about. Where are you going to get your infor- mation? Although the legislative halls are less than 30 miles away, not many Georgetown citizens will find it possible or convenient to attend many of the meetings there. You have highly competent representation in Senator Herring and Representative Fond - ren, but they will not be available to give you a day-by-day report. The Mayor, the County Judge and Com- missioners, the Chamber of Commerce President and Secretary, will have consid- erable information on certain subjects. In the end, though, you will have to depend to a large extent on reports out of Austin by the public news media --newspapers, radio and television. The same statement applies even more definitely to the congressional news outof Washington. And it applies in a somewhat lesser degree to the activities of local gov- ernment right here inGeoreetown. county, city, school board, and so on. Democracy doesn't work well, if at all, unless the public is interested and inform- ed. That is why Thomas Jefferson said: "Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without news- papers or newspapers without government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer ,the latter." (Since Jefferson lived before the days of electronic journalism, I think we could in- clude TV and radio commentaries without objection -- even from Editor Don Scarbrough.) The importance of KNOWING about gov- ernmen s re ec e e Lee on, o Information" bill passed in Congress last year, which requires every federal agency to publish every rule and regulation that might affect the public. For a number of years I have sponsor- ed and supported state -level legislation tc require open meeting- of all state h(,ar1 s, committees and agencies, incInding he Legislature. While such laws have not )at been approved, I am confident that they eventually will be. I also have advocated and will support changes in the legislative rules to throw, open all committee meetings to thepress. Actually, most of them are open now. Thea most important exceptions are meetings of conference committees trying to adjuEA differences between the two houses. There tees can work more efficiently inprivacy, However, I feel it iat the advantages of public meetings we juld outweigh possible 'disadvantages. Why do we sa ,y that we, the people, have a RIGHT to k mow what our government is doing? This is one of the basic guarantees given to us by the gos ier..nent itself. The First Amendment to I he C(,nsfitutionof the Unit-; ed States says in part: "Congress : ;hall make no law. , .abridg Ing the fret :dour of speech or of the press..." Our Texas Constitution, Art. I, Sec. 8, adds a wor d of caution when it says: "Every p erson shall be at liberty to Turn to "Tde Right to Kaawll VOLUME NINETY F4 7) GEORGETOWN, TEXAS 78,626 THURSDAY, JANUARY 2I, 1967 NUMBER TWENTY-NINE P Harry Gold and Ed Evans `Most Worthy Citizen' Award, (Mrs. Gold, inset) IIartwin Holmstrom and John Wakefield `Outstanding Agriculturist' Award (Mrs. Holmstrom, inset) ry G,' Id Ha r -twin Holm sf rom . 0 y .

There are some more or less accept- kble restrictions on "Free Speech," as far Ls the government is concerned, When the .mblic welfare' and safety are involved, as with military information in time of war or other foreign danger, CENSORSHIP is ex- pected and accepted. Amore controversial issue is raised when government censors publications, motion pictures, art exhibits and entertainment as being offensive to the community. POLITICAL censorship, at east in a direct and positive form, is rare in t',e United States. V 0 have nothing to compare, for exam- ple, ;with the political censorship existing i1 the Republic of South Africa, Recently a newspaper reporter was placed on alist ..f "Banned Persons" because of a series of articles he wrote on prison conditions. For five years this reporter will not be al- lowed to leave his home between the hours of 6 p.m, and 7 a.m,; he must not leave his horng city even in the daytime, and it was ma.lg a crime for anyone to publish any _- thing,he writes or says. His immediate fu- ture as a reporter is not very bright. We do have a law in this country for- bid -ding seditious utterances of a con- -Dirary which poses a "clear and present dar.get" to the safety of the Republic. Even then,, the mere advocacy of the overthrow of the government is not sufficient grounds for punishment, but only when there is proved to be an "incitement to action" for a`i illegal purpose. In'this and many other instances a real division of opinion exists. Where should the line be drawn? In our system, the courts make this decision. The famous Justice Oliver Wendell ilolmes wrote: "Every idea is an incite- ment, It offers itself for belief, and if be- lieved is acted upon unless some other be- lief outweighs it or some failure of energy stifles the movement at its birth," The toleration of radical ideas can be ilanggrous,' for they question and might undermine accepted ideas of government, economics, morality and religion. YetJef- f arson could say: "Error of opinion maybe derated where reason isleftfreetocom- at it." Thus we have one of the basic and con- t4nuing debates in our system of govern- ment, where the goal is MAJORITY RULE limited by MINORITY RIGHTS. A few moments ago I said that DIRECT political censorship is not aproblem in the United States of America. Let me admit, however, that INDIRECT censorship is not uncommon'-- what we might term "cen- sorship at the source." Our government officials rarely say to a newspaperman, for example: "You can't print that." But they can, and sometimes do, achieve the same purpose simply by making the facts Unavailable. Such a "blackout" of source material can a effective in restricting the flow of information or ideas, which is one of the definitions of censorship. Thus we have the spectacle of a gov- ernment paying lip -service to "freedom of speech" while quietly practicing the opposite. Couples with the adroit use of PROP- AGANDA, withholding of information on a selective basis can result in presenting a false image to the outside world -- and'to our own people. PROPAGANDA, as contrasted with cen- sorship, may be defined as making a de- liberately one - sided presentation of selected facts to a mass audience -- the aim being to create an impression favor- able to the government or some other en- tity. Propaganda is not necessarily bad, but it is not automatically good, The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce, in getting up a brochure, would naturally stress the advantages of this city and leave out the disadvantages, if there were any. That's propaganda --but not harmful propaganda, unless the presentation is so one-sided that it creates an utterly false picture of Georgetown in the minds of prospective citizens or customers.,,' In politics there is rarely any agree- ment as to the dividing line between legiti- ate and misleading propaganda. The line moves according to the political views of . the beholder. ' ; - ; I Some political critics have been making a good deal lately of what they call the president's "credibility gap." What they are saying is that the president, or his ad- ministration, is withholding some of the facts (that is, engaging in indirect CEN- SORSHIP) and giving out only the more favorable data (that is, releasingPROPA_ GANDA). It matters little whether these charges are true or not, as far as this dis- cussion is concerned. The point is that such charges -- and in some degree such prac- tices --have always been a part of our partisan political life.' Business is notfreefrom similar charg- es, and neither are the professions. Wit- ness the war of words between the Ameri- can Medic Association and the federal government over medicare. The point here is simply this: with politi- cal and governmental issues already com- plex and then further confused by the propaganda of rival advocates, it is all the more vital for us to defend the public's RIGHT TO KNOW from authoritative sources, , Government officials and legislators can help to that end with protective laws and regulations. There is a sharp limit here for two reasons: political figures are not ideal policement of their own censorship problems, and laws are not always an ef- fective remedy. INTEGRITY is the only really complete answer in the long run to this problem, as well as most others in the field of human relations. The people can do a lot to protect their own right to know, by insisting upon it to their elected officials -- especially BEFORE election. The news media can do the most and, in some ways, the only effective job of keeping the government's cards on the table. The reporter of the news (whether he runs a one-man newspaper or a metropolitan dai- ly, a local disc -jockey show or a national news report -has the same right to KNOW as the rest of us; the same right to SPEAK: the same right to DISAGREE... even the right to be WRONG, as he will be from time to time. In addition, he has a unique and clear- cut DUTY to let THE REST OF US know what he hears, sees and finds right or wrong. If he can do that in a fair and rea- sonable manner, as well as an accurate one, so much the better. He does have responsibilities -- the first among which, one famous editor salu, i5 "'LL; p.!Lt tl:e neves and raise hell." Much ado has been made over recent supreme court decisions concerning the pre-trial rights of accused persons. Le- gislative attempts have been made to bring our legal codes into line. It was inevitable there should be a clash between those who advocate restrictions on press coverage before and during trials, and various news- paper organizations, such as the American Newspaper Publishers Association. The ANPA set up a 12 man panel which has now reported. I would like to close these re- marks by quoting a few of its conclusions: ".,.To fulfill its function, a free press requires not only freedom to printwithout prior restraint but also free and uninhib- Ifed access to information that should be public. ", , .There are grave inherent dangers to the public in the restriction or censorship at the source of news. 11... The press has a responsibility to allay public fears and dispel rumors by the disclosure of fact. ".,.There can be no codes or coven- ants which comprise the principles of the constitution, "... The people's right to a free press, which inherently embodies the right of the people to know, is one of our most fun- damental rights and neither the press nor the bar has the right to sit down and bargain -it away..," - That is one viewpoint, and a very sub- " stantial and persuasive one, in the con- tinuing battle to "let the people know." There are also things to be said on other sides, and any number of understandable qualms about conducting public business in full public view. Even so, there is no doubt in my mind that a free people must be told the truth in order to remai`2f fee. ef� The Texas State Library is organized into eight general divisions, their work being supervised by the Director and Librarian and his assistants. ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISION The Administrative Division is responsible for the over-all functioning of the library. It is in charge of the budget, es- tablishes and maintains fiscal policy, and supervises personnel. It is the principal link with the state and national organizations with mutual interests of improving library service The division has many functions, including- information, personnel, accounting, supply, printing, building supervision, and pur- chasing. ARCHIVES DIVISION In the Archives Division are gathered permanent official records of Texas as a province of Spain and Mexico, as an independent Republic, as a member of the Confederate `ya rte"J States of America, and as a � �- state of the United States ` Also included are the private papers, maps, newspapers, ,m s and a solid collection of �' ; "0 books about Texas. Here, f "` for example, one can trace the intricacies of foreign affairs during the period of the Republic or discover how Texas seceded from and rejoined the Union. Family historians will find the census schedules for Texas housed in comfortable quarters with adequate research facilities. Indexes for many items provide short- cuts to information sought. The Archives Division also publishes the manuscript archives and aids in the dissemination of Texas history The division also supervises the collection and distribution of Texas Documents. DIVISION FOR THE BLIND AND PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED This division is one of the regional libraries designated by the Library of Congress to circulate special reading materials for the blind and physically handicapped throughout the state. In 1966 Congress extended the books for the blind program to those persons who cannot read conventional printed materials because of physical limitations. The reading materials include talking books, magnetic tape books, braille, and large print books. These materials may be borrowed from the Texas State Library for a specified length of time — just like a lending library To borrow the books, the reader obtains a brief statement -certifying the characteristics of his physical disability, from a competent authority such as a physician or a professional staff member of a hospital or other institution FIELD SERVICES DIVISION The Field Services Division is dedicated to stimulate interest in public library development throughout the state. The Library Services and Construction Act, under which local financial support of public library service is supplemented, and local funds for public library construction are matched, is administered by this division The division also includes the professional librarianship book collection and the Field Consultant program. Stationed in various parts of the state, six Field Consultants give professional assistance to public libraries This part of the public library development program includes consultant visits, workshops, guidance, interpretation of standards, and information about the state plan under the Library Services and Construction Act. The division cooperates with the Texas Library Association, the state -level professional organization for librarians, and the American Library Association. The statewide program as administered by this division advocates the planning and standards adopted by these organizations. LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE DIVISION For the convenience of the Texas Legislators, the Texas State Library maintains a reference library in the north wing of the second floor of the Capitol. All House and Senate Journals and Legislative bills from 1900 to the present are here. Reports and studies of State Agencies and Legislative Committees are available for immediate reference. News- paper clippings concerning political and governmental actions date back to 1920. Microfilm of many large daily Texas newspapers, including one daily record from 1880 provides a detailed history of Texas' government activities. RECORDS MANAGEMENT DIVISION This division is charged with the responsibility of managing all public records of the state which includes storing, indexing, and retrieving all public records by means of microphotography. Verification of prior teaching service and prior state employ- ment is also a function of this division REFERENCE DIVISION The Reference Division conducts research for state officials and state agencies Its staff will answer reference questions and help the public find material Books, except reference books, are cir- culated to all state employees t and sent on interlibrary" , 7 loan to other libraries and "4 to Texans who have no local i I library. The collection in- cludes reference materials and adult books It also has • .- :-yam. periodicals and about 30 0,1 +E Texas newspapers. A non- circulating genealogy col- lection is available for re- `#' search The Texas State`. Library is a regional depository for U S. Government Docu- ments. These are handled by the U S Documents section of the Reference Division. TECHNICAL SERVICES DIVISION This division is responsible for the acquisition, receipt, classification, cataloging, and other preparation of materials for the library's collections It also handles binding, mending, and the acquisition and distribution of periodicals, microfilm, newspapers, and some recordings Acknowledgements and Credits Photographer Bill Malone made the color photographs of the Texas Archives and Library Building, the six mosaic shields, and the Texas History Mural. Color transparencies for the cover were furnished by South- western Bell Telephone Company. STEPHEN F. AUSTIN JIM BOWIE DAVID CROCKETT WILLIAM B. TRAVIS SAM HOUSTON T M rt a I W tm, • e Texas Her I'tagit The Texas State Library provides a broad field of varied and essential services to this state. The services include preservation of historical treasures of the past and present documents of the state government, aiding research workers, publication and display of valuable Texana and a wide range of activities to help improve library facilities throughout the state and to stimulate use of available libraries. Focal point for this activity is the Texas Archives and Library Budding in Austin It is built of sunset red granite from the same quarry which supplied material for the State Capitol budding which stands just to the west. Completion of this budding in 1961 culminated a long drive to obtain proper housing for the State Library and especially for its Archives Division. Formerly housed on the second floor of the Capitol budding and seven other different places, the State Library had a problem getting Texans to take advantage of its services. The T-shaped budding, containing approximately 95,000 square feet of floor space, is of semi -classic design with a flame -treated granite exterior, trimmed in polished granite. The main portion of the budding --the top of the "T"—is 257 feet long and 67 feet deep, with a wing 111 feet by 48 feet extending to the rear. In addition to the State Library, the building contains a complete section with a separate entrance on the south for the General Land Office Although the budding has five floors, there are seven "stack floors" where the building is divided for the storage of books and documents. The Texas Archives and Library Budding was dedicated on April 10, 1962 It is neither the largest nor the most expensive structure in the Capitol complex, but because of the historic designs, it has attracted the most attention It is a fitting residence for the heritage of Texas. The dramatic structure is highlighted by the flags of Spain, France, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the Confederacy and the United States which have held sovereignty in Texas. Embedded in the stone on the west portico are brightly colored mosaic shields of each nation. Smaller bronze emblems decorate the heavy metal doors at the front. On each side of the building are appropriate quotations from the first Texas Constitution and the State's Declaration of Independence, cut into the stone, along with the Texas Seal. The rearof the building, facing San Jacinto, is as beautiful as the front and is embellished by the six terra cotta seals of the nations. The first floor foyer, like the Capitol Rotunda, is a Texas showcase. The spacious foyer has been set aside for an educational project which reflects the history of the state. Historic maps, manuscripts, and artifacts are handsomely displayed in the room. In the terrazzo floor is the familiar wreath and star emblem of Texas The main walls are polished granite and the upper wall is sandstone Above the center of the area is a huge spectacular oval light fixture, depicting the Lone Star of the State with a 50 star border. As the guest enters the lobby area through the huge brass doors, he is immediately struck by the Texas History MIRABEAU B. LAMAR • ANSON JONES Mural. The light from the tall windows plays across the Peter Rogers painting which depicts a welter of subject matter— from Conquistadors to cowboys; from the Alamo to oil wells. The mural was created by the English artist Peter Rogers in association with the noted Western artist Peter Hurd. It was the youthful Rogers who spent weeks in the summer of 1964 perched on a scaffold, painting the 45 -foot mural. The mural has been designed in three main parts to allow for the two massive granite columns The design depicts the story of Texas chronologically from left to right. In a glance one can suddenly see all the romance of Texas history. Below the mural is a large bronze screen with 15 bronze blocks on which are wrought designs that present the panorama of Texas development. There is an Indian with a tomahawk, branding irons, crossed Colt pistols, the first Capitol Budding at Austin, an early locomotive, and a wind- mill on the prairie. Last block shows a gushing oil well. The original Texas Declaration of Independence is on the first floor to the right of the entrance and to the left is the historic original letter from --------- the Alamo by Col. William B. Travis. Twelve other display cases, recessed and lighted, are built into the walls around the lobby. The cases depict the chronological history of Texas, beginning with the Indian period and ending with the Texas Rangers. The Archives and Library was not constructed with x' the idea that it would house the entire State Library, but�� } rather to provide space for���. the Archives Division and the other divisions that deal more frequently with the public. The Records Management Division has more than 40,000 square feet of separate space in south Austin. Legislative Reference Division is located on the second floor of the Capitol because it is primarily for the executive, legislative, and departmental branches of the government. Texas History Mural "The whole history of the state is extraordinarily dramatic and romantic. I definitely wanted to capture the romantic element." —Peter Rogers In its own sphere, occupancy of the new budding was the most significant episode since the Archives War of 1842, when the citizens of Austin took up arms to prevent an at- tempt to move the state records back to Houston• the former capitol. Aside from the brief flare of drama, the overall history of the State Library has not been as spectacular. The idea for a State Library was fostered before the establishment of the Republic of Texas, when representatives from Texas settlements met in the fall of 1835 at San Felipe de Austin to discuss the future course of the Pro- visional Government. The first two sessions of the Texas Congress during the early Republic dealt almost entirely with the establishment of a government. By joint resolution, the Third Congress of the Republic in 1839 appropriated $10,000 for the creation of a library. An 18 -volume set of the Edinburgh Encyclopedia became the first and only recorded purchase of a new library. The small collection of books was kept in the office of the Secretary of State in 1839. The library was later attached to the Department of Agriculture, Insurance, Statistics and History, a bureaucratic medley probably without parallel in the annals of government. In 1909 the library was established as a separate governmental unit. Creation of Texas Library and Historical Commission by the Texas Legislature in 1909 marked a turning point in State Library history. Today the six member commission is appointed by the Governor and approved by the Senate for terms of six years. The commission is charged with the following respon- sibilities: • Control and administer the State Library • Adopt and enforce reasonable rules and regulations governing its administration and control • Aid and encourage libraries • Collect materials relating to the history of Texas and the adjoining states • Preserve, classify and publish the manuscript archives and such other matter as it may deem proper • Diffuse Knowledge in regard to the history of Texas • Encourage historical work and research • Aid those who are studying the problems to be dealt with by legislation STATE ARCHIVES AND LIBRARY BUILDING 110(l3 CFL AN ORDINANCE IS TABLISHING A LIBRARY I3OAILD FOIL TIIE CITY OF GLORGET0WN, TkX.AS: IMiCILIBING ITS M1.IBF.R- SHIP, THEIR DUTIES, TERMS OF OFFICE..

MO - SAN JACINTO, was taken directly from the notes of Dr. Nicholas Descomps Labadies an Army surgeon who gives first- hand account of the "Texas Revolutionf' ,'which freed American settlers fromMexi- can tyranny, a revolution which came to a triumphant climax with the historic Battle of San Jacinto; April 21, 1836.

If you have a book that you enjoyed reading and would like for others to read it, bring it into the Georgetown Area Public Library, 804 Main Street, and we will put it on the shelf for others to enjoy. We have put another new book on our best sellers shelf this week that is fas- cinating, vivid, reflective, wide-ranging;, embracing New York in the early 1900's and Czechoslovakia in crisis after World War II. The title of this book is "TOO STRONG FOR FANTASY" by Marcia Da- venport. "The real substance of my life, of all lives," Marcia Davenport says, "is the men and women with and through whom I have, lived." Three people stand fore- ' most in TOO STRONG FOR FANTASY. The first is Alma Gluck, Marcia Dav- enport's mother, one of the best -loved of all American singers, Her art and her world come alive here, and so does the complex woman inside the artist. i From a friendship with Arturo Toscan- ini covering nearly fifty years, lasting from Marcia Davenport's childhood until his death, she creates an enduring por. trait of the Maestro. The third person is Jan Masaryk, Foreign Minister of Czechoslovakia. Throughout the crisis in Czechoslovakia which culminated in t the Community Coup D'etat, Mrs. Dav- enport was living in Prague. She gives her account of the political tragedy and t of the mysterious, violent death of Jan Masaryk. That account is both a moving r.nr,nna: narrative and a document for 'r hE V'i IU,1A A9 SON CO LINTY SUN " :Thursday, Mar, 7,,1968 hi ■ ,ce BOOK VERN PHILPOT We had some good books given to us' last week by Sue Singleton, Mrs. Claude C'.een, and John McDonald.

We had money given for a memorial book for Adoph Ischy by Mr, and Mrs. Thomas Bohanan. For our juniors we have the 1968 WORLD BOOK ENCYCLOPEDIA_ and the 1968 Childcraft Books. We also put a junior fiction on the shelf. It is THE JUNGLE BOOK by Rudyard Kipling. This book is a book that our boys and girls will enjoy reading. Three youth fiction has been put on the shelf. They are SILAS MARNER by Geor,. ge Eliot, THE DEERSLAYER by James Fenimore Cooper, and SEVENTEEN by Booth Tarkington. SEVENTEEN is the funniest book of our generation. Its humor is irresistible, at times overwhelming, to al I but the luck- less William, to whom it seems tragic most of the time. This book is a book to be read aloud in the bosom of your family because it is too good to be unshared by others; full of chuckles, and reminiscent of the 'many ecstatic and despairing moments we have all known when we were Seventeen. You can always find a good book to read ; at the Georgetown Area Public Library, 804 Main St. The hours are 9:00, -11:00 M�gday throu;h ; f.;.jrday, °.nd 9:30 - 5:30 Monday through FrLiay. Thursday.

CDllier, Cara Lee Dedear, and Mrs. Ray Henderson. One of the books that F. E. Gaupp gave was THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS. I know some of you will want to read this book about the finding of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947 and touched off a series of events which have excited Bible scholars and oth- ers as have few similar happenings of the Christian era. Dr. Burrows tells for the first time the entire storyoof the discoveries, of the at- tempts to date the manuscripts, of their contents, and of their significance. His book is a book planned for average read- ers of intelligence whose imagination has been fired by these great finds. He brings to the task knowledge gained during along career as a scholar in Near Eastern Lan- guages and literatures, and an intimate association with the DeadSeaScrollsfrom the time of the first discoveries. The book is enriched by his own translations of the most interesting of the scrolls, some of which appear in English for the first time in this book. We want to express our sincere appre- ciation to Mr. George Greggforhis excel- lent leadership In the drive for Library Funds. Also, we are deeply grateful to all the people of Georgetown and Area who con- tributed and helped in any way. . To date the contributions are $1,050.97 and the drive is not finished.

The author, Charles Beamer, taught English at Georgetown high School from 1964 to 1967. The author's love for nature, and South Texas nature in particular, shines through each poem. The text contains the author's im age% roods, and impressions of these rolling hills. As all will see, he has used great delicacy and accuracyof language indraw- Ing his pictures.

For generations the families married only within "our crowd: ' Today the branches of family trees interlace end- lessly.

WILLIA112011 COUNTY SUN Thursday, January 16, ext p III BOOK �I VERN PHILPOT We have just received a popular new book. It is "Twenty Letters to a Friend" by Svetlana Alliluyeva, the daughter ofJo. sef Stalin. The author has used one of the oldest and most flexible literary forms - the let- ter to an unidentified friend, who is, es- sentially, each reader of her book - to relate the harrowing journey of one soul through three dark decades of a totalitar- Ian tyranny which sowed terror throughout an entire nation and reached into every cor- ner of her personal life, "Let the judging be done by those who come later, by men and women who didn't know the times and the people we knew. Let it be left to new people to whom these years in Russia will be as remote and in- explicable, as terrible and strange, as the reign of Ivan the Terrible, But I do not think they'll call our era a'progressive' one, or that they'll say it was all for the 'good of Russia,' "They will have their say. And what they say will be something new and cogent. Instead of idle whining, they will give voice to a new sense of purpose. They will read through this page in their country's his- tory with a feeling of pain, contrition and bewilderment, and they'll be led by this feeling to live their lives differently." Remarkably, in this narrative of fear, torment, oppression, tragedy, two charac- ters radiate with goodness. They are the author's mother, and the nurse who shielded her for thirty years. It may well be that the mostlastingval- ue of "Twenty Letters to a Friend" will prove to be the light it throws on the nec- essities and motivations which have shap- ed today's Russia, and which are so much more "Foreign" to our own experience than most of us have heretofore surmised. .

This week the library received copies of two books which have been on the Best Seller list for several months. Number 1 on the Best Seller list is THE ARRANGEMENT by Elia Kazan. It is the story of a suc- cessful Los Angeles writer and advertis- ing executive, whose life is awholeseries of arrangements - his life, his marriage, his friendships, and his escapades. Kazan tells the story of Eddie in a most frank, . candid manner; and the LIFE MAGAZINE review says, "One may dislike to dis- approve of Eddie, but nobody can deny his humanity." TALES OF MANHATTAN, Louis Au- . chincloss's newest book, is a three part novel set in New York City. First is "Memories of an Auctioneer, which tells of the lives of some artists that work in a New York gallery. "Arnold & Degner, One Chase Manhattan Plaza" is a law firm in the second part of the novel. The author uses the partners of the firm to reveal the inside lives of their collegues. "The Matrons" tells us of the elderly women who use their power of family, and money to rule New York society. Even . though there are three separate stories in his book, Auchincloss ties them together with the thread of their common back- ground. Many readers who have not been to the s library lately might be interested in know- E Ing that in the past few months, we have acquired several hundred new books. Many of these are the all-time favorites, and we are most pleased to have many of the re- cent book club selections. Some day next week take a few minutes to stop in and see us!

For the pre-school- i. ers who enjoy having stories read to them, there is a long shelf of colorfully pictur- ed books. Among the favorites are BAMBI, ANDY AND THE LION, THE LITTLEST ANGEL, and all of the funny and curious books of Dr. Seuss. There is a shelf, too, for short stories only, and here can be found the ever favorite Grimm's and Anderson's fairy tales. F or the grade -school or junior-higb reader who is interested in learning more about the world he lives in, we havebooks about space and the planets, the weather, the sea, insects, horses, and music, just to name a few. But don't forget it's fun to learn about people, too, and the stories of Sam Houston and Davy Crockett are among the many biographies to choose from. And of course there are the fiction books. In addition to the classics like HEIDI, HUCKLEBERRY FINN, THE SWISS FAMILY ROBISON, we have such choices as THE VOYAGES OF DOCTOR DOLITTLE, , JUNGLE TALES OF TAR- ZAN, THE MATCHLOCK GUN, and SEA CHALLENGE, We haven't forgotten the young mystery fans, either, because there is a special place for the popular Hardy boys, Nancy Drew and Tom Swift. So with a selection like this, the young library -goers will find some good read- ing. Dolores Streld did a really fine job with the Story Hour this last week.

Allen Drury, author of the Pul- tizer - Prize winning novel ADVISE AND CONSENT, has used the experience and insight gained over 20 years as a Wash- ington correspondent to write the satiri- cal political novel CAPABLE OF IION- OR.In this book, Mr. Drury poses this pressing question: "How justifiable, or irresponsibly, do American press, televi- sion and radio attempt to interfere with and control, the politcal process and the foreign policy of the nation?" And those "piercing" questions that bother Moses Herzog in Saul Bellow's novel HERZOG may sound familiar. Perhaps the answers he finds would be of interest to YOU. Bert and Katya Gilden, husband and wife, have combined efforts (and names, K. B. Gilden) to stir the reading public with HURRY SUNDOWN. And if EXODUS was a hit with you, the chances are that ARMAGEDDON will be even a bigger one. The library is always growing, and this week we thank Mr. Clark Davis, Mrs. W. K.

If you need to find a particular article in a particular issue of a magazine, or just, some information on a certain subject, our vertical file would be a good place to look. So far we have articles taken from ` LOOK, BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS, ` HOLIDAY, AND LIFE, and the choice of magazines is continually being expanded -- why not come in and ask? Following -is a general list of only some of the subjects that can be found in the vertical file: psychology, Christian demoninations and sects, criminal punishments, foreign pol- lcies and affairs, celestial navigation, medicine, American, Spanish, English and Italian literature, art and artists, the United States, South America, and Viet- nam. Also there is information aboutsuch prominent figures as John Kennedy, Win- cGin Chnrchlj!, Lyridrm Johnson and Doug- las MacArthur. REME .IDER YOUR LIB- RARY during tha annrn-4rhing school term.

Includ- ed in the fiction group is CAPABLE OF HONOR, a political novel by Allen Dru- ry. 'A Washington correspondent himself for twenty years, Mr. Drury writes of an ambitious columnist who uses his influence in the communications field to sway the foreign and domestic policies of our gov- ernment. The author includes many of the familiar characters from his Pulit- zer Prize winning novel ADVISE AND CONSENT, and its sequel, A SHADE OF DIFFERENCE. The library has copies of ' these also, along with another of his best sellers, THAT SUMMER. In this book, the author strays from the political realm to write of an intense love story in an exclusive vacation spot in the Cali- fornia Sierras. In the non-fiction group, the library has the Sam Levenson book, EVERYTHING BUT MONEY, in which he tells of his boy- hood in a cramped New York tenement, This is a book that will appeal to almost ; any reader because of its simplicity, its wisdom, and its humor. The Texas Reading Club has really be- come popular with the young readers. The club now has 40 members, ages eight to twelve, who will be reading at least twel- ve books this summer. They will receive a certificate and have a party in August if they accomplish their goal. Anyone still interested can come in now and register.

Twenty-two chil- dren enjoyed hearing Mrs, Alicia Downes read a ghost story which they later dra- matized. We hope to have an even larg- er group this Saturday, June 10, at 10 a.m. Pre-schoolers and children up to eight years old are welcome tocome. Our library is proud to have a large variety of books. The purpose of a lib- rary is to provide books for pleasure and leisure, but it also serves as an in- formational center. We often overlook this Important feature. Some of our reader may be particularly interested in our ag- ricultural section, which includes books on crop production, farm management, and animal husbandry. Two books in this field are DUAL-PURPOSE CATTLE and THE MEAT HOG, by Claude H. Hinman, a leading authority in Animal Husbandry. In his books, Mr. Hinman gives information on production, breeding, registry, classi- fication, judging, and sales. Although these books are all-inclusive and have sound sci- entific basis, they are written in such a style that reflects the personality of the author. This makes them books of pleas- ure as well as reference. Dean and Mrs. Henry Meyer presented the library with these books. The author, Mr. Hinman, was an uncle of Mrs, Meyer. Last week Mr. Mendell Morgan, State Assistant Director Field Consultant of Texas State Libraries was in Georgetown inspecting possible new locations for our library. We are hoping to have a larger place soon. The present location of the library is 804 Main Street and we are open from 2:30 to 5:30 Monday through Friday and 9:00 to 11:00 on Saturday.

March is Children's Art Month, and I want to take this opportunity to mention that the library has a number of books that will be of interest to those who like to do art work. One of these is A TREAS- URY FOR YOUNG READERS which in- cludes stories as well as things to make. Herman and Nina Schneider are the authors of a book SCIENCE FUN WITH MILK CARTONS, This is not art in the strictest sense, but anything that is of beauty is art. This book deals with the scientific principles involved in simple engineering. It shows how to construct bridges, different types of transportation and water power. For those who like to sew, a book that is interesting is MAR_ IONETTES by Edith Flack Ackley. Not only does the author show how to make them, but she goes into detail how to stage the program. At the end of the book are five plays that can be used with marionet- tes. These may give you an idea of art work that is useful as a hobby.

A book with the lamp of knowledge on one side, inscribed on the other: GAPL SUMMER 1966, Why, I've just quit showing the pictures of my grandchildren since I got it! At the same the Yearwood Girls gave me a bowl of the most exquisite miniature roses in a color I never saw before, and some equally exquis- ite jellies and jams.

Although contracted to work only half-time, she devoted many, many ex- tra hours to her job here this summer, and her old friends and new ones hate to see her depart. A most generous parting gift is now in the process of being catalogued: a set of beautiful books about Texas which Mrs. Pettus donated to the li- brary. The hundred -dollar gift is a handsome addition to the Texana col- lection which she started, and her gen- erosity in this presentation is indeed appreciated. The list is mouth-watering to Texas history buffs. It includes: Walter Pres- cott Webb's "The Great Frontier" and "The Texas Rangers." "Alluring San Antonio" by Lillie May Hagner. Herbert Gambrell's "Anson Jones." "The Stowaway Piper" by Lil- la Stirling. ' "The Love of Ellis P. Bean" by Ben- nett Lay. "Singers and Story Tellers" . by the Folklore Society.

It is the first of a $10,000 grant from the Rockwell Foun- dation. Library Gets First $2,000 of $10,000 Rockwell Grant. A check in the amount of $2000 was received Monday as a gift to the Georgetown Area Public Library, with the explanation as follows "Contribu- tion: To establish the James 'Wade Rockwell Endowment Fund — in mem- ory —James Wade Rockwell. This is first payment of 5 equaf payments in the amount of $2000 each payable annually from 1966 through 1970 for the total sum of $10,000." The check was signed by Henry M. Rockwell of ' ,.:"tin. "Ir. '�,.c kwell was a student at Southwestern Univer- sity in the early 1920's and was known to his friends as "Foots" Rockwell. Mrs. Sally Gee Pettus, librarian, said the gift was in answer to a letter she wrote to the Rockwell Foundation sim- ply stating the needs of this library. The check' was formally presented to the Board of Directors of the George- town Area Public Library in a called meeting at the Library on Tuesday morning.

"Contemporary Civilization" Judge Sam Stone adds to our Tex- ana with Ken England's "Historical Sketch of Williamson County - Old Set- tlers Association" Mrs. Frank Fisher makes a memor- ial gift to Dr. Harry E. Moore with the story of Carla "And The Winds Blew..." Her mother tells me that she typed this book for Dr. Moore. Irving Stone (no kin to Sam) makes t flesh and blood of the Adams Family with "Those Who Love". The library has his first: "Sailor On Horseback." Stone is an acknowledged master of the biographical novel. Not only ack- nowledged, but decorated and honored as well. The Italian government con- ferred the Giglia d'OrO on him, made him a Knight Commander of the Re- public of Italy, and USC awarded him an honorary doctorate in 1965. To me Stone's most endearing literary essen- ce is his positive attitude to "some- time - failures." With so much "sick stuff' in print, how glorious to meet those quaint old darlings; to wit: - "Character", "Thrift", "Perseveren - ce", "Integrity', and several others. On Sunday Bessie Hughes and I drove out to Bagdad. I haven't yet found out why those people gave up the charm of a "Bagdad" for the mun- dane sound of a "Leander".

THE 1-01,LIA S6.1 W(,ZvI'y SU:: Thursday, Jt.,Iy 14�, 1L6,, Library,'Health Unit meant More Money Georgetown City Dads went through a relatively routine regular session Monday night but did touch some sen- sitive nerves when money discussion came up and finally went into execu- tive session to discuss one money mat- ter. A group representing the George- town Area Public Library appeared and made requests for monetary sup- port and -or a building and official res- olution by the City Council designating the Library as a City Public Library. In money the group specifically want- ed $1500 to be used as partial salary for a librarian. Another request for an increase in budgeted funds came from the Wil- liamson County Health Unit, which proposed that Georgetown raise its share of the Health Unit budget from $4,800 to $5,100. By way of comparison the City of Taylor would be asked to kick in $6,900, Round Rock $840, Gran- ger $650. Per thousand population, this breaks down to around $850 per thous- and for Georgetown, $775 per thous- and in Taylor, $420 in Round Rock and Granger. These requests came after the Coun- cil had been studying cash balances and had already discovered a substan- tial "negative flow". Bank balances ordinarily decrease in part of May, June, July and August and part of September; and general operating funds have for many years been sup- plemented by income from_ the Utili- ties Department. The latter Department has its big- . gest in--ome dlxrim! the months men- �,oae�l; wl,1- on th> vthrr hand ea:;a income from tax sources is almost nothing during the same period. Following extensive discussion of the money situation, a single mention was made of the possibility of a 10 -cent "package increase" in the tax rate. But the Council did not pursue this suggestion further. --o— Also related to the money picture, the Library group's request for a build- ing and other topics was a re -hash of the situation in which the International Order of Odd Fellows wishes to make a trade with the City in return for the City's pledge of "perpetual care" of the • I. 0. 0.

A plea from t h e Georgetown Area Public Library for 50 pct. support of the hb- rary's expenses from city tax dollars: and a swimming pro - gram with problems also came in for discussion. The City Fathers agreed to begin advertising for bids im- mediately on some 40 different and specific sets of water and sewer improvements as provided in the recent bond approval. Bids will be opened at a special. meeting of the Council - on July ' 19.

She has worked far beyond the call of duty, and her dedication has been an inspira- tion to us all." Mrs. Moore's final report to the library board was submitted on May 4: "The library has now been open to the public for slight- ly over six weeks, from March 21 to date. During that period, the growth of the collection and the interest of Georgetown area people has continued steadily.

"Dora Zavalla, our paid typist, is working out very well. She has a genuine interest in library work and is catching onto it ra- pidly. "In my final report, I want to express appreciation to the Board and to the staff of volun- teers for their interest and as- sistance and unfailing ' good hu- mor.

It is the Georgetown Area Public Library making the news these days. We have long needed a public library. During National Library Week we are contacting those who may wish to have a part in the beginning efforts toward acquiring the best library service possible. Public libraries are usually sup- ported by public funds, but at present the only source of income our library has is money donated by civic -minded persons who want to help. The library board will need $5,000 as a minimum amount to operate one year to be used to hire a paid trained librarian, for housinel g, books, and operating expenses. Already we have 1400 books catalogued and on the shelves for circulation. 1200 books, including $300 worth of new children's books are yet to be catalogued. Temporary quarters are located at 802 Main, in the KGTN Build- ing. The library is open from 2:30 to 5:30 weekdays, 9-11 Saturday mornings. A blank check and self-addressed envelope are enclosed for your convenience. Please send your tax-free contribution to give something to a well -loved, thriving community.

SECTION II, PACE 1 TIIE `'(TILLIAMSON COUNTY SUN Georgetown, Texas Thursday, March 31, 196G Anna Aiken Was The Spark Plug In Making City library a Reality The Georgetown Area Public Library is now open for business, and is a dream come true for Mrs. Charles Aiken, wife of our local veterinarian; mother of 13 year old Eddie, 11 year old Joy, 9 year old Mary Lou, 7 year old Fred, and 6 year old Ernie; and president of PTA. Anna and Charlie Aikom moved to Georgetown 13 years ago, just a year after Chrlie graduated from A & M. with his DVM. Anna wished all these years for a local public library, but she had five good reasons to confine her de- sire to just wishing — until last year. --- - •- -- When she started mapping out goals for her year as president of the PTA, the number one goal was to organize a public library, and she started talking about it at the first PTA meeting last September. She told the mem- bers of her conviction that adults need a good public library to help them keep up with our rap- idly moving world, and that all children need a good public li- brary so that they can grow up with a library so much a part of their life, beginning with the first picture books, until they consid- er books as their good friends and truly love to read. Anna visited eight public librar- ies in our area, gaining informa- tion about how they began, how they operated, and was encourag- ed by all she saw and heard. Copperas Cove and Seguin are still on her list to visit, but she ihas already seen libraries at Lampasas, Taylor, Burnet Round Rock, Cameron, Belton , I Rockdale, and Killeen. IIer nextmove was to contact the State Library Board where she secured a speaker who would come to Georgetown . to inform interested persons of the proper way to go about beginning a pub- lic library. She asked for pub- licity of this initial meeting at the Citizens' State Bank corn - munity room, and received the cooperation of newspaper, radio, and her telephone committee. 25 Georgetown people were pres- ent at this meeting, and it was there that the Friends of the Georgetown Area Public Library was born. The next meeting in the county courtroom found the Friends get- ting organized and proportioning out the work, spurred on by the contagious enthusiasm of Anna Aiken. She accepted the job as secretary of the Friends of the Library and chairman of the library board. Even in the sim- ple beginnings, she set up the or- ganization exactly as she had learned to do, with the constitu- tion and by-laws and keeping proper records. "Support of the public library so far," states Mrs. Aiken, "has come entirely from donations of Friends of the Library. Some' have given books, some have worked many hours, some have given building rent, and some have made donations of money. But our library is just like a baby — its first steps are mighty shaky. It will have to be helped many times before it is strong." State and federal funds are ready and waiting for our library, but before we can be eligible for them, 50 pct. of the library's needed income MUST come from the city. That is a requirement to prove a city's sincerity in estab- lishing a library. Mrs. Aiken says that the city is now furnishing the utilities for the library, but that the City Council will need to be urged to appropriate approximat- ely $120 per month which will be needed for building, salaries, supplies and equipment, and books. After this has been guar= anteed, then government funds may be drawn that are now available for small public librar- ies. "Please ask the people of the Georgetown area to come and use their free public library. There are 2000 books now ready to borrow, and when we build up a good circulatoin, we just know that the City of George- town will get excited about our library, 500, and will help us." Many people deserve a pat on the back for their work with the library, but the main push came froin Anna Aiken. i Saturday, March 19,1966',' I.Friends Added 1In Support of 'Library Drive Members of the executive committee of the Friends of the Georgetown Area Library did a card count and found they i had: 133 Georgetown Friends, 26 area Friends and 12 organi- zations, A general meeting of the Friends will be Monday at 7:30 p.m., at the Westside i Cafeteria. Plans were made to contact not only the present members, but also to invite anyone interested in the devel- opment of the Area Library to attend this session. On the agenda are plans for a house - to house campaign for mem- bers and funds. Tentative date set is April 18. Also of vital importance is location of a more permanent home for the lib- rary and employment and train- ing of a librarian. Mrs. Rawleigh Elliott, chair- man of gifts and memorials, reported Monday on a book - buying trip she made recently. She bought $100 worth of books for the Children's Corner, and two dictionaries, one Spanish- ! English and the other French - English. These dictionaries are ;. being given the library by Mrs. Ruth Ferguson and Paul Morgan In memory of their sister, Miss ' Lucy Belle Morgan. Miss Morgan was for many years 3 a member of the Southwestern faculty. Children's books were purchased with donations by Mrs. Alice Moore, temporary r librarian, and members of the Home Builders Sunday School Class of the First Methodist Church. First week of the operation iof the library has been note- worthy. Many adults have checked out books and express- ed their pleasure with the new i tacility, However, , most en-, ? couraging was the enthusiasm, of the school children who have come daily. Present at the Monday night: meeting were Mrs. Angus Spr-, inger, Mrs. Charles Aiken, Mrs. Charles Burson, Mrs. Rawleigh Elliott, Mrs. Van Tip j ton, Mrs. F. E. Gaupp, Mrs. { W. F.

Public Library Open House The Executive Committee o.` the Friends of the Georgetown Area Library met Monday night to plan an open house for the public later in March. Following the open house, plans for an intense membership drive for the Friends of the Library and a campaign for funds for the' Library will be put into effect These will involve residents of ` not only Georgetown, but also. surrounding communities, inas much as this is a library for everyone in the area. Meantime, work at the Library is continuing under the direction of Mrs. Alice Moore, temporary librarian. Organizations and groups of students have come forward with furnishings and ser- vices. Some Southwestern Stu - dents are slated to do a paint job on some of 'the tables this weekend. In addition to rnernbers and money, there are two other vital needs. The big one is someone with library experience to be trained by Mrs. Moore to take ' over as librarian when she leav es. She and her husband are here for a limited time and that tim, is growing short. It is urgent that good use be made of the time she is willing to give. The other need is that of a ; Chairman of Public Relations for the Friends, a post held until re- cently by Charles Lutz. Sugges tions for someone to fill these Places will be most appreciated.' Contact any of the members of the Executive Committee.

Seems the local I.O.O.F. wants to give the building to the city, which in turn was going to deed it over to t the library. But the national I.O. O.F., which has to approve the gift, hasn't indicated its willing- i ness to go along, which leaves the library without a permanent home. So, the girls are looking else- where. President Anna Aiken, i who deserves to be given great credit for the effort she has al- ` ready put forth, has been talking; to several building owners, hop- C ing to get a building as a gift to the library or, if not that, to buy one. Trouble is. the library has almost no money and very ' little in sight.

Now, it anyone has a good filing cabinet that will be most welcome,, too. Also money! uation, birthday, or other special oc- casions. In addition, a bookplate has been designed which can be placed in the book or books purchased with the name of the person being honored in- scribed. This will provide a lasting me- morial. The name of the donor may also be included on the bookplate. If the donor wishes, he may designate a specific book to be purchased; or, he may request that a book on a certain general subject be purchased. to be de- termined by the specific needs of the library. "Few of us can endow a library, but City Library most anyone can give a book," Mrs. Elliott stated. "A book memorial may be a large gift or just enough for a sin- gle volume. Family and friends can share in this kind of gift, each according to his interest and ability. This is a wonderful way to help our Georgetown library get a good start." Mrs. Elliott is also receiving gifts not designated for a particular purpose, gifts which can be used for needed supplies and expenses other than books. Plans are being worked out for large donations or endowments to be given special rec- ognition. The Taylor Daily Press, Tuesday, November 30, 1965, Page 3 Georgetown Library' Friends Find Temporary Quarters Georgetown Friends of the Li. brary Association members this week cheered the announce- ment that the Georgetown Area Library has found a home—if only for six months. , Don Scarbrough has given the office space formerly oc- cupied by the William S. Lott law firm on Main Street near the corner of 8th and Main. It is ideally located, beauti- fully decorated, and convenient to the downtown shoppers, Mrs. Angus Springer, Friends presi- dent, said. Mrs. Springer used a folder outlining suggestions for such an organization, distributed by the Texas State Library, in clar- ifying many questions concern- ing the relationship between the Friends and the governing body of the library. She announced appointment of chairmen for the following committees: Membership, Mrs, W. K.

The planning committee com- posed of Mrs, Charles Aiken, Mrs. Jay Sloan, Joe McMaster, and Gordon Burks, is now se- lecting a board of directors for the Georgetown Area Lib- rary, Residents of Georgetown have become more interested in a li- brary as a result of the en- thusiasm shown by the Friends and public response. Donations of various articles and serv- ices are coming in daily, Atty. W. K. McClain has given the library several sets of shel- ves. These are especially need- ed as nine ' or more boxes of books from the Austin Public Library have arrived and are, ready for distribution, Mrs. Springer said. A piece of ply- wood suitable for a sign was .found in a storeroom at the _Kappa Sigma House on the South- western campus, When the prob- lem of someone to paint an appropriate sign for the door was voiced, a fraternity mem- ber volunteered the talents of his girl friend, an art major. Members of the Kappa Alpha fraternity have offered to pick up any books anywhere and de- liver them to Mrs. Sloan, tem- porary librarian, and the vol- unteers who are helping cata- logue and make books ready for public use. Finally, Mrs, Springer an- nounced Gold's Department Store and the office of the Wil- liamson County Sun as collec- tion places for membership fees.

Anyone interested in learning how to prepare Libels, pockets and dates for books, and in how to catalogue, is urged to plan to be present for the four ses- sions — Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings of that week. If all those who expect to assist in the li- brary in the coming months will attend the workshop and learn some of the basic procedures, they will be helping greatly to get the library work done so that the library can be opened sooner, Mrs. Moore points out. "We invite people of the Georgetown area to participate, including representa- tives from neighboring communities," Mrs. Moore says. "We are particularly eager to have those come who feel they can volunteer time during the spring and summer months." Vivacious Mrs. Moore, who has already devoted many, many hours to work in the newly -born library, is the wife of Dr. John Robert Moore, a visiting profes- sor of English at Southwestern Univer- sity. They will return to their home in Bloomington, Indiana at the end of the spring semester, and Mrs. Moore is eager to see the little public library become well established here. With years of li- brary experience at Indiana University, at Western Reserve Library School of which she is a graduate, and at New- berry Library . in Chicago, she realizes the tremendous amount of work involved in getting this new project started. "We have had wonderful help from many ef- ficient volunteer workers," she says, "and this workshop will enable us to give additional training to these volun- teers, as well as to those who may wish to join them for the first time." Workers Monday at the library were. Mrs. Charlotte Eanes, typist, and Mrs. D. P. Irvine, Mrs. E. M. Lewis, Mrs. Joanne Rosser, Mrs. Anna Wray and Mrs. Otha Ullrich, who made labels and pockets for books. Mrs. Sloan, like Mrs. Moore, has been regularly present to supervise the activities there. Others who have helped in the library include Mrs. George Hester, Mrs. Alma Crone, Miss Mattie Loventhal, Mrs. Lloyd Crabb, Mrs. Roselle Braun, Mrs. Marjor- ie Lewis, Mrs. Mary Jane Evans, Mrs. Sam Brady, Mrs. Morgan Garrett, Mrs. Andrew Engelbrecht, Miss Ruth Piggott, Mrs. John Cluck, Mrs. Henry Burkhart, Mrs. Frank Masseur, Jr., Mrs. Lydia Gauntt, Mrs. Bill Lott, Mrs. R. L. Galla- way. Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Sloan are parti- cularly interested in meeting anyone trained in library science who resides in this area and who could assist in the work. Telephone inquiries concerning t h e workshop may be made to Mrs. Eleanor Langton, UN 3-3796. xr,City May Gel I Care of Cemeter Y 1 The City Council debated only briefly Monday n ght be- fore voting unanimously to accept an offer by the local chapter of the Inlernation Order of Odd Fellows to take over various properties of the IOOF in exchange for a pledge of "perpetual care and main- tenance" of the IOOF Ceme- tery in Georgetown. City Attorney Joe McMaster was intsructed to complete the necessary proceedures to com- plete the transaction. In the exchange, the City Would acquire the deeds to two downtown business build- ings, an $8000 permantent fund In Georgetown Savings and Loan and all unsold cemetery i plots in the IOOF Cemetery. The two buildings are those at the end of the north side of the Square, one of them now occupied on 'a lease basis at $ O per month by Lone Star Gas Company, the other being used as a warehouse facility by hlenderson's Variety Store's appliance divis'on. There is a strong poss;bility th:t the corner build•ng that is now a warehouse might be- come the permanent home of the Georgetown Area Library Assoication, now located in temporary quarters at 004 a: n. A brief, d'scussion of this pos- s.bility was held by the Coun- cil, but the main course of bus- iness was finances, so the dis- posit:on of the buildings was left to future Council sessions.

A thorough program of train- ing has been planned by, Mrs. Jay Sloan and Mrs. John Rob- ert Moore, who will be in charge of the workshop. Ladies planning to attend are urged to be present all four' mornings, People from nearby communities are also invited to participate. Those trained in the workshop; will continue the enormous job of typing cards, applying pock- ets, and cataloguing the books. It is hoped that by training a number of persons. at one time, the work can be accelerated, and the library opened for book cir- culation at an earlier date. THURSDAY, ET U I3RUARY 1o,196f St, Ifelen's Gives Books To New Library St. Helen's Catholic Church re- cently gave the Georgetown Area 'Public Library approximately 1200 volumes of books which had -been in the local church library. Father Llorente, in making the presentation, said that he felt the books would be of more interest to parishioners in a public lib nary. Fiction, non fiction including ;history, reference books and some children's books were a-' mong the volumes. Mrs. Anna Aiken, chairman of the library board, announced this gift at a meeting of the board held last week. Mrs. Jo Sloan reported to the board that in addition to the books from the church, the drive last November netted 450 books of good quality and condition. The State Library has sent 250 books from the Extension Loan Service. Primary needs discussed at the board meeting were for more chil dren's books, more non-fiction; I funds with which to hire a lib- rarian; some equipment such as shelves, � chairs and - filing cabi- nets. Those attending the board meeting, in addition to Mrs. Ai- ken and Mrs. Sloan, included new board member Bob William- son, Mrs. Mildred Gervasi, the Rev. Bob Teddlie, Mrs. Frances Springer and Mrs. Don Scar - brough. Mendell Morgan of the j State Library, Austin, was also 1 present.

Again let me remind you of the open house here on Sunday, March 19 from 2 to 4 p.m. It will be a good opportunity for those of you who haven't been by the librarybe- fore to see what things that we have to of- fer. Also, those who haven't been by re- cently will see how we have grown. The ad- dress is 804 Main Street in the KGTN Building. I hope to see all of the George- town area people here. Friday is St. Patrick's Day and the41- brary will be decorated for the occasion. Even Susie Martinez who works here said she would be willing tobe Irish for that one day. She incidentally made the decorations that you will see when you visit the lib- rary. Some new books that we have put on the shelves recently are: THE STORY OF ART which is depicting the development of art through the ages. A familiar name in children's fiction is Uncle Wiggily. One ,of the stories of his adventures is UNCLE NIGGILY AND JACKIE AND PEETIE BOW WOW, We have put some western fiction stories on the shelves recently, too. The hours the library is open are 2:30 to 5:30 Monday through Friday and 9 toll on Saturday morning. Come to see us soon. LOOK BOOK By MRS. BETTY WAL-fTAt. -- Rain began falling just before the first birthday opening of the Georgetown Area Public Library. If justhaving a celebration would cause rain, maybe we should have open house every day this week. In any event I want to take this oppor- tunity to thank each person who helped with the birthday open house. Especially do I want to thank those who braved the rain to visit the library. The library received two books yester- day which will add greatly to our collec- tion. The first is an 1881 edition of the Blue Back Speller. The official title of the 'book is WORD -BOOK OV ENGLISH SPELLING, ORAL AND WRITTEN and is' authored by William Swinton, A. M. Mr. Paul Morgan gave the book in memory of Elizabeth Donaldson. The other book is . given by Senator and Mrs. Charles Herring. It is SAM HOUSTON'S TEXASby Sue Flanagan. Next week I want to tell about two other groups of books the library received re- cently. The books will add much to the enjoyment of readers, and the library cer- tainly is appreciative of the additions to its shelves. The library is located at 804 Main Street and is open from 2:30 to 5;30 Mon- day through Friday and9 to 11 on Saturday.

Some of ille local ladies are get- ting excited over the possibility that Georgetown might be able to sw4ng, with the •holly of the state arel fed- eral governments, a city library. AIrs. Charles Aiken, president of the Elementary scho„ 1 Parents - Teach(.r Association, is a •lcaler of the movement and an enrinrsiastic one. Mayor Rawleigh Elliott has expressed his desire to see a free city library and rmany other for%%-ard looking community leaders would like very much to see tile prs joct Bushed to a sucecs.sfu1 c onclus:on. There are problems, of course, the main one being money. A li- brary can be a nwgIVy expensive item for a community to support. However, there are ways and ways of doing things. Many towns much smaller than we have W,)od city libraries, indicating that it isn't an impossible project. The federal government has a malching - funds proposition cT city library buildings U don't knrnv �whether this applies to remodeling old building or just fir new rorr, i'an struction), while The state has thou- sands of books it will make avail - • able. Evidently the bi•y snug -s pure operational , funds to pay a salary for the librarian and ;rel - dentals. Lo Frankly I would be for utilizing some now unoccupied building at A a central location rather than ,go in for a fancy new structure. Too of- ten, it seems to me, towns spend ail of their efforts on buildings and give tc.o little thought to what gvrs in- side. We'll be hearing a lot more on this ere the moon changes.

They work with the city council the librarian and 1ho library board to stimulate public support. They encourage the use of the Iibrary by all citizens. They cooperate with other inierest- _ ed groups in helping to make the library grow with the community and the times. Realizing that mam> Meals businesses or industries are happy to see free library services made available for them,Friends are anxious to welcome library par- ticipation. In seeking to culacate boys, girls, teen-agers, adults, and seniar citi- zens of our area, Friends will. sup- port Jhe library program, * They seek to have the library supplement the school libraries and the Southwest- ern University Cody Memorial Li- brary. Friends will work toward an ade- quate budget supported by the city tax. Two dollars per capita is the yearly requirement (63 pct. for li brarian salary, 13 pct. for facilities and 2G pct. for bocks). This sum is a goal to reach, as the community grows to awareness of the library ,-erviees. Friends will want to cooperate with Round Rock and Taylor Public Library Friends, planr ng at the onset to become resourceful enough to want Austin . Public Library as regional center; then Austin may offer their computer processing and large collection to keetp a revolving source for our small collection's en- richment.
