The following story of “Book
Week” was issued today by the
librarian of the Wilkes county
public library:
The Story of “Book Week”
It is a story that begins in
1919, or some time before that
if we consider the beginning of
new ideas on Children’s books
and reading, as they began to
formulate themselves in libraries,
schools, and in the book trade.
Mr. Mathiews, Chief Scout Li
brarian, Boy Scouts of America,
had undertaken to make reading
part of the Scout program and at
the same time to rescue Scouting
from being Interpreted to the
public by machine-made stories.
In his stout championahtp of
more and better reading for boys
he traveled from place to place
preaching his gospel and gather
ing fresh information as to what
boys read and where they were
getting their reading matter.
In the spring 1919 the Ameri
can Booksellers’ Association came
together for one of its most en
thusiastic conventions. Mr. Math-
lews made a stirring speech, full
of fact, argument and enthusi
asm. He painted the picture of
the boys’ real needs and persuad
ed every dealer there to put more
energy back of. his childrens’ de
partment and give It a new Im
portance. Many began to see for
the first time that not only did
they owe It to their communities
to improve the character and va
riety of books they were display
ing but that the deportment for
boys and girls deserved year-
round attention. The Interest In
spired led to the pawing ol a
reaolution calling on the Associ
ation to organize a National Cam
paign to arouse pniblic Interest in
more and better books lor chil
dren.
All over the country librarians
saw In the Idea a new opportun
ity to go before their communi
ties under the sponsorship of Uils
campaign and again
for iBore''jbookS for the
ehfldrra. The leading Ubrsrians

Announcement of draft quotas
for counties in North Caroltas
and for each local draft bioard
was made Friday from the office
of Governor Clyde R. Hoey.
The quota for Wilkes county of
men to be called by June 1, 1941,
is 141 men, of which 56 will be
for d -aft board number one and
85 from draft board number two.
Quotas were set up according
to the number of registrants and
deductions were made for men
serving In^the national guard and
for enlistments in branches of
the Service this year. ■ That ac
counts for the smaller number
from local district two despite
the fact that it has almost seven
hundred more registrants than
district one.
Quotas for some neayby coun
ties are as follows: Watauga,
88; Yadkin, 109; Surry, 242;
Alexander, 65; Alleghany, 39;
Ashe,'98; Caldwell, 123; Iredell,
192; Davie, 76.
In order that registrants may
be classified and passed upon hy
draft hoards, the local draft
boards have been ordered to mail
out questionnaires, beginning
with the smallest order numbers..
According to plans for selective
service, all registrants will evm-
tuaJly receive questionnaires.
MeAlenlrars has the largset
a total UJ-
Tb^saotah for the tfra^ '
expected to be Itaned shortly,
were not listed In the announce
ment from Raleigh.
The total number of Tar Heels
who will be called during the
period from now until June 30,
1941, Is 16,613.
Quota Reduced
North Carolina was origin^Iy
ordered to supply 49,434 men un
der the selective service act, but
this figure was whittled down to
the 15,613 because the state re
ceived credit for men who had
enlisted since January 1. and for
national guardsmen who wem
called to active duty.
Governor Hoey announced that
29,032 men had enlisted and 4,-
789 had been called out for na
tional guard duty.
The guardsmen and enlisted
men were credited, whenever pos
sible, to the counties or draft
board areas in which they resid
ed. As a result, three counties—
New Hanover, Haywood and
Hoke—-will not be called on to
furnish any men in the draft’s
first call.
In other words, enough men
from those three counties either
enlisted or were members of ths
national guard so that no one will
be drafted from the three coua-
tles In the first call.
