WHEN little Maureen Griggs, of London, contracted the mump?, her
older sister brought home a baby sparrow she had found, helpless, hun
gry and featherless. During their double convalescence Maureen fed the
bird milk from a fountain pen filler and now she is feeding her feathered
friend a lavish dinner of soaked bread crumbs. (iiilcnmtiunal)

i NEW YORK, You can be rea
jSonably sure of buying -a new suit
this fall without mortgaging the
old family homestead and without
undue search for fabric,
j This is the reassuring word of
j F. Eugene Ackerman, executive
director of the American Wool
j council, who says:
j "The consumer who has been
; frightened by recent semi-hysteri
cal prophesies into believing she
won't be able to buy clothes this
fall without suitcases full of money,
can relax. OPA or no OPA, it is
not anticipated that there will be
any marked rise in either wool fa
bric or woolen clothing prices."
As to the prospect for easing
shortages, Ackerman says it is ex
pected that supply will catch up
with demand during the latter part
of this year, except in scattered
segments of the field. ,
Woolen fabric production already
is running 1-0 to 15 per cent above
the maximum wartime production
of 1945, the peak output in history,
when more than 90 per cent of total
production was allocated to military
use, he says, adding:
"On a peacetime basis, woolen
yardage production today is run
ning between 25 and 30 per cent
above any previous peacetime
year."
The current shortage of woolen
textiles, it is explained is caused
by three elements:
1. The wartime reduction in
civilian production resulted in the
disappearance of "lloat'ng inven
tories" of fabrics and r.uinenlv
which formerly luimeil a Imve
backlog thi ounhoi.l Hie 1 1 1 1 1 1 -1 1
The shelves uf tuaiailaet ui ei v jul
bersand retailers were -hipped
bare during the war.
2. The national income in
creased greatly. 'l'ola e are
bers and retailers were shipped
of 150 billion dollars a year, as com
pared to 90 billions helore Hie war.
The demand for fi'l woolen i lotli
ing has risen accordingly.
'3. An artificial shorlaee in
men's clothing lias come about
chiefly as an uiifoi lunale result of
the wool maximum average price
regulation, which held ceiling
prices on full-weight mi u s suit
ings and ovet'coatiii; s at Mich a low
level that it was iinpi ol itable to
produce them. As a result, manu
facturers turned to lighter-weight
fabrics requiring less wool and less
labor in conversion, and thus pro
duction which ordinarily would
have gone into the men's wear held
was diverted into specially and
luxury fields.
VISITORS BACK
It's good to have people come In
and say, I'd like to register as J
summer visitor again". Just this
week one of our last year's visitor's
slopped in cm his way to the Moody
f arm to take books out with him
It made us feel good when he said,
"Help me find something to read
l ast year I enjoyed the ones 1 had
so much, particularly, "Citizen Tom
1'anie and "Siberia".
Another visitor remarked, "I was
here five years ago working on the
Parkway. My wife and 1 are go
ing to be at Lake Junaluska for
lour months. 1 used the Library
so much when I was here before.
I d like to register again". Later
on he said, "I'm glad to see these
hooks", referring to the Lake
Series, the River Books and the
meiiean Kolkway Group.
During this year we have had
several letters from people for the
nanus of a book they had read
here or some other bit of informa
tion A student at Harvard wrote
for the name of a treatise on "Mem
ory ". The hook incidentally was
How to remember". Of course we
were flattered that he did remem
ber he borrowed it at our Library.
A letter recently from a doctor in
New Orleans requesting the name
i of a hook one of his patients had
' mentioned he found here.
; We welcome our visitors and we
I hope you will feel free to use the
I Library facilities. The hours for
circulation are 10 to 12:30 and 12:30
to 5:0(1. A deposit fee is required,
but it will be refunded when you
leave Slop in and see the Library
and browse as you will.
Gamblimr Blacklist
By the late 1910.1, the Monte Carlo
casino was probably refusing admit
tance to more former patrons than
any other gambling house in history,
having an active black list of P. 000
who had passed a worthless check,
picked a pocket, engaged in a
brawl, attempted suicide or com
mitted some other unpaidnnabls offense.
Reader's Advisor
In large libraries there are such

or visitors, it is sometimes hard
to find time to help you at the
moment as much as we would like.
However, if you in planning your
reading either on the recent books
or on a particular subject we will
be glad to help you.
We like the opportunity of show
