PAGE 6 I THE TORCH A department conducted for The Warren County Memorial Library By MABEL DAVIS The librarian From the Far North We have received a few books from friends unknown to us in Europe; two of them came to us from Switzerland with the compliments of a grand niece of James Fenimore Cooper, but the six received this week from Dr. H. G Nicholson, Sitka. Alaska, out-distanced all others in point of mileage, I think. His highly appreciated donation included Vallery-Radot's Life of Pasteur; Blackford and Newcomb's Analyzing Character; Elizabeth Ricker's "Seppala, Alaskan Dos Driver"; Stuart Edward White's "Pole Star"; "New Worlds to Con quer," by Ricnara nauiourum, wu "The Red and White Secret,'' a beautiful story for juniors, by Florence Selden Peple, who, by the way. is sister 'of the author of "The Littlest Rebel." Dr. Nicholson is very loyal to his native county. This is not the first manifestation of his interest in our library. He is, also, rather proud of his adopted country which lias produced no less than a million dollars in geld every month for sixty years. This vast territory, whose area is greater than (he thirteen original states, was purchased from Russia in 1867. Alaska has a great many firsts; it boasts the highest mountain in North America, Mt. McKinley, 20,300 ft. The Yuyon River is the fifth longest river on earth; Malaspina Glacier has more ice than all of the glaciers of Switzerland; Lliamma is the largest lake in the world; Attu Island is in the Eastern Hemisphere, and, remember, Eskimos do not live in snow houses. In Defense of Winter This winter has been consistent ly cold. Never on any occasion has it promised to be otherwise. It has not borrowed a single day from spring and owes nothing to it. As a winter it has been a grand success; it has measured up to the most exacting requirements. Along with the plumbers, dealers in wood and coal, the merchants handling goloshes and blankets, and the relief office, the library has done a record business. We are having our inning and enjoying it. Last week, when only the brave ventured out, circulation rose from a daily average of 60 to 84 1-2, not in spite of the ccld but because of it. Not all of those books were borrowed by people in town; probably less than half were. Farm wcrk like school had to be suspended, leaving time for those who are book-minded to indulge in read'ng. Men and boys from the county came in every day. The mother of a high school boy, whose father needed his help in building a barn, came to the library three times during the week to keep him supplied with books to read at night. Boys and girls spent a part of every day browsing among the books. Just so has the cold winter stimulated work at the library. School has opened again now and winter must scon give way to sn.-ine. but we shall remember the thrill of winter activities long after the biting cold has been forgotten. Thanks Another nice feature of winter is the interest and desi;e to ease the tension expressed by friends of the library. To that feature we are indebted to Mrs. J. B. Boyce for $1.00 left at the desk last week, to Mrs. Beddoe for two magazine subscriptions, trie commission from which added to our bcok fund, and to Mrs. Ben Newell for a copy of "Zeta Phi," to supplement the torn copy referred to in this column several weeks ago. CLUB PLANNING (Continued from page 1) long residents of trie county in which the school is located." Mr. Alston's letter: Dear Mir. McKevlin:? jl nave Deen quite mterestea in your comments in regard to the Graham Plan to de-emphasize athletics, which has been the topic of so much discussion, not only in the press but on every street corner-and gathering of sports lovers throughout the State. I have always had the greatest of admiration for Dr. Frank Graham as a gentleman and a scholar. But I must say that I believe he is venturing forth in a field which he has given the yublic absolutely no consideration or thought; after all it is Jchn Q. Public who lays the sheckles on the line, and travels upward of a hundred miles or more, rain or shine, to see a good exhibition of football. The gate receipts are not turned over to a paymaster after the game who, in turn, hands the players their checks as they leave the dressing room, as Dr. Graham would have us believe WurentoQ, North Carotin* These receipts go indirectly to make intramural athletics possible so that students of all walks of life might have the opportunity to Indulge in some form of physical exercise. The public will certainly have the right to expect that admissions be reduced to be in line with the type of exhibitions that will be rendered in our great stadiums throughout the South. How many people would drive half the distance of the State to see two teams of equal strength tie up, such as one team we saw in Chapel Hill last Thanksgiving? The 15,000 who attended that game weren't there to see a close game as they knew that the de-emphasized University of Virginia team would probably only be capable of giving Podunk High a close battle. Instead, these 15,000 who did brave the bad weather were there to see a smoothly oiled machine function to perfection, and came away satisfied. We must admire the Southeast-1 ern Conference schools, who were honest enough to realize that foot-i ball is here to stay and are willing to lay their cards on the table. They probably also realize the r? 1 growing menace 01 piuirauuuc? football throughout the country and decided that college football must continue to have the lure to) attract the public and give them their money's worth. One cannot help but look at the case of the University of Alabama and Notre Dame University, which before the days of Wallace Wade and Knute Rockne were only schools with small enrollments. What did this? Not the addition cf Professors Winterbottom and Shultz to the History or English Departments, but the fact that the football teams representing these schools were discussed by persons in every hamlet in these United States. I really think that Dr. Graham, in his wild desire to carry his j point regardless of anything else, should have gone into this de-em-1 phazing much deeper. One rule j would take care of the whole | thing. It could probably read something like this: Athletes representing Colleges and Universities must be life long residents of the County in which the school is located. Therefore, all players on the Duke varsity should be born and raised in Durham County, at Carolina in Orange County, etc. Mr. McKevlin, I am writing merely to give you the reaction of one who still has to part with $2.50 ...vXyv_. , Any Florid best s t HENDERS M TH1 ^ayEnt 2nd DEVON, Pa. . . .

"Of course if cur local merchants cannot supply the articles which we desire we are forced tc go out of town to make purchases but let's give them a trial first," he said. Eignall Jones advocated the sale cf more tcbacco on the Warrenton market in 1936. He said for the past two years the local market has shown an increase in sales and last year reached the four million pound mark.
