On March 8, the people of Mc Dowell county will go to the polls to vote whether or not to add a few cents per hundred dollars val uation to our county taxes in order to support a McDowell County li brary. Think before you vote. Those few cents will mean that the bookmobile will still be able to make the accustomed trips to the various sections of the county, hast year 50,000 book “loans” were made. As has been said before, movies and television can never take the place of good literature.
