A new General Motors subsidary Frigidaire Corporation, has betn incorporated under the laws of Deleware, to take over distribution and sale of electric refrigerators manufactured by the Delco-Light company. This subsidiary has been created to segregate the electric refrigerator from the electric light plant busings of the Delco-Light company. Permanent officers and di ? r% ici'iuis ui rrigiuaire cupulation will be practically the same as those of the Delco Light company, which Ls headed by E. G. Biechler, president and general manager, with headquarters at Dayton, Ohio, i "Tremendous growth of the electric refrigerator industry, which Firgidaire holds the leading position- and encouraging prospects for the future of this business, makes separation of the two enterprises desirable" said A. P. Sloan, Jr. president of General Motors. The Delco-Light company will continue to manufacture an dsell electric farm light and power plants and water pressure systems. Frigidaire and Delco-Light manufacturing operations are to be completely separated under the plan announced.

SERVICE When the Lanier Club begins the fall season, it can congratulate itself on the splendid condition of the Library. All during the summer woricers have been occupied in classifying, cataloguing, mending and putting in a new system of charging. The activities were under the direction of Miss Mary Carpenter who has had years of experience in Libraries in this country and in Hawaii. Nothing could have been more fortunate for the Club than to have Miss Carpenter living in Tryon at the time when this reorganization was imperative on account of the growth of the Library. The system of classifying now is the Dewy decimal used in all standard libraries. Hie new charging system makes possible quicker service and a more exact knowledge of what books are available. Borrowers will no longer need a card of their own but can always tell when the book is due by the back of each book. The classifications have (also been changed so that Jetaera interested in .-i .spRrfai^iubjfe>t^> *^v" are able to secure all available reference books with ease. Miss Carpenter had the help for a month of a trained library worker Miss Nannie Helm who gave a big lift in the early stages of this re-organization. all assistance except UI11V/V/ I/11UV IV?J Mk/wa>vv^..w. Miss Carpenter's has been voluntary and throuvh the hot days these good friends have typed, written, pasted and glued with a devotion that should win the thanks of all who use the Library. Among the members of this committee were Mr. and Mrs. Whittlesey, Miss Maud McKeb lar, Miss Mae Flentye, Miss Helen Stearns, Mrs. Kilpin, Mrs. Charles Wilson, Miss Rose Wilcox, Miss Ferdinanda Poppe, Miss Clare BeH. The Library Committee under whose direction the work was undertaken 1 consists of Miss Helen Steams, Chairman, Mrs. Andrew Law, Miss Mae Flentye. Mrs. E. jE. Missildine and Miss Mima Fassett. The estimated cost of these changes was one thousand dollara and a larce cart of the sum has been raised by voluntary subscription. Several hundred remain yet to be paid. AH users and friends of the Library who have not yet contributed are urged to send in large or small sufris so that they may have their share in this fund. As soon as the fund is completed th,e names bf the names of the donors will be acknowleded. The out of town friends and members of the Lanier Club have been particularly generous and responsive. Such peoople as Mrs. Edward Emerson Miss Browditch although they have not visited here for several seasons sent checks with letters of appreciation of what the Library had meant to them and to the community. Founded at least two dicades ago, the Library has been en tirely supported by the Lanier Club. The members have never asked nor received any support from the town or from the business interests. From a few hundred volumes, it has grown to five thousand of the best books. Intellectual people and scholars who needed books of reference have expressed surprise and pleasure at the assistance they have found in well chosen volumes.
