ED lockwood CLUB
WORKS FOR LIBRARY DAY

An evidence of the truly altrusistic
spirit which characterizes the attitude of
every one asked to assist In the work of
making Library day at East Lake Friday
a success, is the success of the special
work taken up by the ladies of the Edge
wood club, one of the many organizat lions
forming the Council of Women's Clubs.
They as club volunteered to undertake
the work of providing all the bread neces-
sary for the big barbecue Friday, and SO
busy committees went forth to make re-
quests for donations from the various
bakers. Their success proved a great sur
prise even to women who expected a
hearty response. for they found that ev-
cry man approached knew all about Ii
brary day and were only too glad to dc
all they could to assist "Loaves OF
bread? Why, certainly, ladies, we are
glad you asked us, for we are anxious to
see Birmingham have a good library as
you are. Our children enjoy the books
and so do we when we have the chance
was almost always the response given
them All Of the large bakeries gave gem
erously, but not any more SO in proportion
than the smaller bakeries, which were
perhaps even more enthusiastic than their
more prosperous rivals. One baker gave
them the promise of 2S loaves and he
owns only small shop at that while
every one approached gave more than wa p
expected.
80 it has been all along the line. The
women with all OF their zeal and courtesy
have been granted every reasonable re-
quest made. and have been ABSURD of the
help of merchants and clubs and individ-
uals. They all realize. or else are being
asked to understand. that Library day is
not day of charity. not time for the
mere giving of money and time. but IT.
tie investment which will repay them with
large interest for years to come, for the
money made on that day will be put into
new books and improvements at once
free to every citizen, man, woman and
child of Birmingham.
