0dell library is proving a very graft
flying success. dinner was served
the day of the election for proposed
bonded district and Sl2 was added to
the library fund as a result. This
amount was applied on the purchase OF
one dozen library chairs. Only a very
short time was taken to plan for this
dinner and those who were not asked
to contribute at this time will be given
an opportunity at some future time
when refreshments are needed served.
Over one-half the books are out, and
this is as the management desires.
Fifty-three books were out last Friday.
Remember. library days are Tuesday
and Friday each week, one hour after
noon and evening. Remember also
this library is absolutely free to every
one in the community.

1.-The melancholy days have come,
The saddest of the year"
When snow does fall, and sometimes
rain,
And one carrier does not appear.
Along the river road,
Through Odellwsy and Willow Flat,
Along the course he should pursue,
The patrons all stand pat.
They know his path is not rosy,
But better yet, the snow so white,
Makes sleighing that with one and all
Is cause for pure delight.
Sometimes they go to Hood River
And ask for Odell's mail.
They find the carriers gone his way
And they follow on his trail.
But soon or late, tbs all the same;
They reach their homes to find
He's never seen Odell that day,
Nor had their wish in mind.
There is. a call that some will heed
While others fail to hear
And Duty, who should guide us all,
Would make the way all clear.
We'd solve these puzzling problems
That yearly we must meet,
If every one along the route
His neighbor thus would greet:
"Now let us first be very sure
That we have done our part;
Have shoveled snow from our mail box
And are fair and just at heart. "
And if the carrier would treat
His patrons in the way
He would that they might treat him,
And bring the mail each day.
Should he fail to make each box each
day,
Then the patrons duty is plain.
A notice to the postmaster
Is the way we should complain.
Now as regards this matter
Let US not be given to despair.
There is way-we'll find it:
Service for all or none. 'Tis the
only way that's fair.
