1t is just as apparent that these supplies
have been furnished in large quantities
by dealers who certainly had at least q
suspicion of what was to become of the

"To use food products, sugar, corn,

Public Library April 1st.
"Over The Top"
(Contributed)

Rockingham and the surrounding com
munities went lover the top" for Free
Public Library to be established here ir
the immediate future. Some people
thought positively that it couldn't be done
some others were doubtful but hopeful.
and some were pretty nearly sure that
in some way or other $l,500 could be
raised. And so on March 18th, the day
set apart as campaign day for funds
teams of workers set about the canvass,
ing of the town. On that day very near
the entire amount was subscribed and a
great deal of it paid in in cash. Since
that time other friends of the movement,
who were not seen that day, have sent in
subscriptions and now this amount is
well past the 81 500 mark. And it is
hoped thatit can be carried Ito $1,000.
If that can be attained it just means
that the Free Public Library will have a
more substantial foundation to start on.
and more complete outlay of maga-
zines, papers etc, to carry on its work
with, and a larger number of books to
offer the public. &
1t COULD be done. 1t HAS BEEN
done. And a public library is no longer
only dream of a few very much inter.
ested people, but is now an assured in
stitution for the town of Rockingham
and all the adjacent territory. Mrs. Lucy
p. Russell, one of Rockingham's most
valuable and most popular citizens. has
accepted the duties of librarian. She is
now in Chapel Hill where she has access
to the library Of the University of North
Carolina. She will make investigations
there as to method. system and the tea
lures that will be put in use here. The
plans now are to open the library April
1st. ,....... .....-.....
The trustees of the Richmond club
have very generously given the library
the use of their furniture for this year
free of charge. E Fl
Saturday morning, March 23rd, the
Camp Fire Girls and the Boy Scouts are
going to the homes of the people to
gather upathe books that have been do
mated.
One more step forward! Get ready
for the opening of the Free Public Ii
brary.
