? r PAGE 8 "the torch!! A department conducted for The Warren County : Memorial Library J By MABEL DAVIS : The Librarian J Nine hundred and sixty-five books were loaned from the library last week, the bookmobile lending 99 more than the desk. Encouraging a Aiiwnmor from the Littleton A News handed us last week stated $ that the Lions of that place at their | last meeting decided to cooperate K with us in our efiort to defray the K running expenses of the bookmo- I bile. Isn't that fine? We have no g official notice in regard to the ac- R tion oi the Lions Club, but we believe that Littleton is ready to co- V operate in any move for the general c good of the county. n A Pressing Need * Supplying the demand for books L! for children who are just learning j, the joys of reading is becoming a n problem to us. That would 1101 fi seem to be the function of a public o library; books of that type have G small value as literature, but they ?ro essential to the mental develop- I ment of children- To ignore the I demand woud mean to iose an op- I portunity to foster the taste lor reading that the teachers have culivated with great care. Realizing that the children, too, have rights that we should not ignore, and thai the schools have contributed generously to our campaign for funds, we are asking our book committee to authorize us to buy fifty books suited to the needs of the younger readers. That will not be enough, however, so we are asking out friends who have children's books in their homes to donate the books that are no longer needed by their children. We have asked me assistance of the Girl Scouts in collecting these for us. They will call for them some time Friday or Saturday Book Fair Next to seeing and enjoying a j show for yourself comes the pleas- ] ure of having some one who has < seen it give you a graphic account 1 of it. That is what Catherine ' Moseley is doing for her mother? * and through her for me?reporting the Book Fair now in progress at ( Rockefeller Center, New York. It j must be splendid- Catherine has i certainly gotten a big thrill from it. So have I just from reading her letters- It is my impression that the Fair lasts a month. In connection with it and really a part of it, a program featuring celebrities in the realm of authors, is provided for each day. Her account of these programs is most interesting to meShe hears these celebrities discuss subjects along tneir own nne aiiu gives such interesting reports from them her letters are real commentaries. I am taking the liberty to quote from one of them: "You say you are reading 'Orchilds on Your Budget-' I am glad because I heard the author (Marjorie Hillis) speak at the Book Pair. She is very bright and I liked her. Yesterday I heard Hendrik Willem Van Loon He spoke on Art?'Art as an enjoyment and pleasure rather than a sad expression of beauty.' It was fine- He said in conclusion: 'There are two qualifications which have to be inherent in every art to make it great. These qualities act as a yardstick? they are the final indication of the true measure of all that is great in men and women everywhere. They are Nobility and Dignity-' I have a copy of his latest book, The Arts. "Tomorrow I am going to hear Emil Ludwig." MRS. BOST DISCUSSES ? B (Continued from page 1) ^ eously in other staes, Mrs. Bost s( urged the consolidation of county homes and county jails- Claiming H that a great saving would come to the counties and that at the same w time inmates would receive better F care through the consolidation of county homes, the Commissioner j, referred to Alabama where, she _ said, the number of homes had been reduced from 61 to 15 and to Virginia where homes had been I consolidated until at present there ; were only about 25 in the state, j "Our old county homes are as inadequate to take care of present needs as the horse and buggy to 1 provide us with means of trans- ' 1" "V>n fni/1 or>H orlrlorl yuibabiun, onv oaiui unu auuvu, "the same Is true of our jails " Continuing with her thoughts in regard to jails, Mrs. Bost said that In some of the jails of the state there are only one or two prisoners confined a month and some have none at all. Declaring that 49 of the 100 jails in this state are so inadequate that the Federal government will not allow its prisonIers to go into them, Mrs- Bost said that in her opinion consolidation would be sound sense. She quoted Attorney General Cummlngs as saying "The county jails are the worst blot on the whole welfare program" In addition to Mrs. Bost, the S I principal speakers on the program b were Miss Lavinia Keys, regional - Warrenton, North C Max Is Back > # J#^X / IB^ysi PTiile Joe Louis, present fistic hamp, devotes his talents to dude anchlng, Max Schmeling, above, rho kayoed Louis once and who s scheduled to fight the Brown lomber again next Summer, lands i America for a few preliminary latches before the big show First ght will be with Harry Thomas f "Phipntrn nt Marlisnn Snnare larden.

Fish And Milk Make A Safe Combination The popular superstition that fish and milk make a dangerous combination is just so much hoey, said Fred M. Haig, of the dairy department of State College. This belief, he said, probably started in days before refrigeration when people who got sick from eating fish that was not strictly fresh happened also to drink milk at the same mealNo facts of food chemistry or physiology substantiates this old belief he went on. Experience of years disproves it. Other people are afraid to drink milk and eat acid fruits at the same meal. They say that acid fruits will curdle the milk in the stomach. ... . as a mailer 01 iaci, uie iirsi thing the stomach does to milk is to curdle it so it can be digested. And curds formed from fruit acids are finer and easier to digest than those formed by stomach gastric juices alone. DAVIS BREAKS LEG fContlnued from Paee i | differences.
