Self, Greenwood industrial ist, became interested in caril lons while on a European trip. At Cologne.

Later, at the New York Work! s Fair he met Van Bergen, who was exhibiting his camions. They talked business tentatively and when the war came along Van Bergen, not wanting to return home, accepted Sell's oiler to buy the 32-bell carillon lor installation in a memorial lower at the Callie Self Memorial Baptist Church in South Creeiiuuuil Van Berten came to supervise the work, liked the place, j brought his wile and minus son i from Heiligerlee just in time to escape the German invasion, j He knew his carillon business ! would have to wait out the war. j hut Self set up a foundry to ' make mill castings and put Van I Bergen in charge.

Clo, Mrs. Cornelia Nixon, and Miss Mar Iha Stringlicld have been trying to get some hooks ready for the shelves. Being able to have just the right book for you is not easy, but when we have just bought a book on the subject you need, then we feel very proud of our selections. You'd be surprised at I he number of times this happens. Now take the hook "Wedding I'.liquotto Com plete" by Marr.uerile f!enchley. It is still not ready for the shelves for several different people have been using it in planning their weddings. j "Sketching is easy," the new book I by Ai l bur Zaidenberg, has already j been seen by three people interest ed in Art. Then, too, there is "Art 'for Young America". "Shoe Repair j ing," "Candy Making," and "Ap ! plied I.eathercraft" have been put aside to meet requests and incid entally the one on leather will go to a second person as soon as it is returned. My, but I can't get a chance at "Inside U.S.A." by John Gunther. There's a chapter on T.V.A. I want to read, but it is still going to those who have requested it. The books on "Coloring, Finish ing and Painting Wood," "Modern Metalcraft," "Constructive Wood work," "Thincs to make and how to make them" and "General Shop Handbook." are being held for a cer tain teacher who is interested in background material for his classes. The "Picture Book of Palestine" by Ethel Smilter has aTready found its way into the hands of several Sunday School teachers. "Table Graces" was just What a certain program chairman needed for her program. (She waited while I fin ished typing cards, pasting in the pocket and stamping the book). lielween our real estate agents and others the book "Cabins, Cot tages and Summer Homes" by Ber nard S. Mason and Frederic H, Kock has been leading a merry chase. It seems that each person monlions it to some one else and then they pop up at our deik want ing it You'd be surprised at the wide variety of hooks in our collection. Let us know your interest. Il could be that the very book you want is in that box of books which has just arrived. Try and see! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? So many of our people have re quested information on the many occupations that we are attempt ing to add some new material. F.ach month we will receive several Occupational Briefs on America s major job fields published by the Science Research Associates. At present we have the following briets: Metallurgical Engineers, Safety Engineers, Court Reporters Upholsterers, Industrial Glass In dustry Workers, F.B.I.

By ALFRED LEECH United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO (UP) Qp?n the door, it's the police. They want that overdue copy of Shakespeare you forgot to return to the public library. In seven cities, at least, police sometimes are detailed to collect books overdue at the public library, according to the American Munici pal Association. A national survey made by the public library of Montclair, N. J., shows that uniformed police re trieve long-overdue books when other methods fail in Albuquerque, N. M.; Bridgeport, Conn.; Durham, N. C; Providence, R. I.; Somer- ville, Mass, and Elizabeth and South Orange, N. J. In Seattle, delinquent borrowers can be arrested and their homes searched under warrants if they fail to heed repeated warnings. The Seattle library's third notice on overdue books is a legal letter, indicating that if the book is not returned the borrower faces arrest. Newark, N. J., also uses stern measures, relying on search war rants to recover unreturned vol umes. In Detroit, libraries may ask police to issue a court summons if a borrower makes off with a book. 'b towns do, according to service Assembly.

In New York City, the associa tion reported, there are only 93 licensed midwives. But in Ar kansas, 1,500 midwives in rural areas are being taught modern methods of child delivery. Thirty years ago there were 3,131 midwives in New York, and they delivered more than 40 per cent of all the babies born in the city. Now, they deliver only one-fifth of one per cent.
