Library Notes BY ALICE BRYAN County Librarian "Teach me, 0 God; Give me understanding, And I will keep your law." —Psalm 119:34 included in "Tell Me About Prayer." By MARY ALICE JONES All, children from ages five to ten will appreciate Mary Alice Jones' "Tell Me About Prayer". They will love the many simple prayers in cluded, and will learn from them to give expression to their own feel ings of worship and praise. Among the new picture books for the little folk are: "Circus Time" by Marion Conger, "Noises and Mr. Flibberty—Jib" by Gertrude Cramp ton, "Little Peewee" by Dorothy Kunhardt, "Busy Timmy" by Kath ryn Jackson, "Up in the Attic" by Hilda Williams, and "Make Believe" by Frieda Friedman. We regret that Mrs. Don Davis has found it necessary to discontinue library service to her community. Bookmobile service will be con tinued to Cherry Springs Commun ity if any resident of the community requests the service. Mrs. Don Davis has kept a Book mobile Collection in her home for more than two years. She has given generously of her time to help pro vide recreational and educational reading for her neighbors. Adults and children of all ages have "flocked" to her home to borrow books. More books have been bor rowed from this Bookmobile Deposit Station than from any other Book mobile collection in the county. Thirty-nine adults and twenty-four children registered with Mrs. Davis. Through Mrs. Davis, they borowed 3,206 Bookmobile book s—1,503 adult fiction, 86 adult non-fiction, 1,431 juvenile fiction, and 186 juvenile non-fiction. When the last books for Mrs. Davis' Bookmobile j collection w ere returned to the j Bookmobile, the circulation count | for the nineteen books was sixty-1 eight. The library appreciate the books j given by Mrs. George Rowe: "Lydia i Bailey" by Kenneth Roberts, "Im-I mortal Wife" by Irving Stone, and1 "Papa Was a Preacher" by Alyene Porter. Readers will enjoy the popular magazines given by Mrs. John Fin ley, Mrs. J. F. Jonas, Mrs. Ralph Rectoi, and Mrs. Joe Patton.

[STATE COLLEGE HINTS TO FARM HOMEMAKERS By RUTH CURRENT State Home Demonstration Agent j Wise Waste—1949 Resolution: I i To throw away sometimes is thrift- ; ] ier than to save, household manage j ment specialists say. They explain ! that some articles, likely to accu I mlate around the house, are accident j hazards which should be discarded promptly. j I Any chipped or cracked glassware ; —whether tumbler, canning jar,j cooking or serving dish—should be retired from use to prevent cuts as well as possible waste of food, j Chipped anamelware also should go! out of kitchen service because it1 may leave tiny glasslike particles in! food prepared or cooked in it. Once | china or pottery is cracked or j chipped, it cannot be kept sanitary j by ordinary dish washing. A cracked ■ cup, therefore, is a health hazard' as well as an accident hazard. i Tipsy pots and pans have caused! many a serious burn. Cooking uten- j sils should stand steady on the; i stove. Home medicine cabinets are in-j clined to fill up. Old pills prescrip- j I tions and remedies are a nuisance i and are dangerous to have around.1 They should never be saved for fu-1 ture use except on specific instruc- j tions from the physician. Some drugs! deterioats with age. Other items which may wisely go j | out are toys with sharp points or edges or any loose parts which a child can get into his mouth. Tiny toys also have proved dangerous for young children. If the toy cannot be fixed for safety, it pays to throw it away. Finally, be sure not to throw items j I on trash heaps or into open con tainers where children can find them. The Tar Heel sweet potato crop during the past season was the j smallest since 1924. HStuffy Nose Spoils Sleep j' knight | in each nostril quickly opens up nasal passages to relieve stuffy j transient congestion. Invites rest ful sleep. Relieves sniffly, sneezy distress of head colds. Follow direc tions in the package. Try it!
