DR.. Fay to Leave School Board.

1t was with much regret to those most
interested in school matters to learn
that DR.. w Z. Fay. whose term as 4
member of the board of education eX
pires this year, will not be a candidate
for reelection. He has served on the
board faithfully and efficiently for a
period of 25 consecutive years and feels
that he is now entitled to a respite from
the duties of the office, which take
much valuable time. No candidates
for the office had been announced as late
as Wednesday night, and many hope
that sufficient influence may be brought
upon DR.. Fay to reconsider his decision
which, however, he has given rs final.

Library War Service Wants Books.

Two million books are needed by the
library war service of the American
Library association to furnish reading
matter for our soldiers and sailors. \
big drive to get these books IS to b
carried on throughout the United States
next week The local campaign is al
ready organized under the management
of the librarian and the library com
mittec. As a result of the drive last
September a million and a half dollars
was raised to build camp library build
ings at 81 camps, equip them, provide
trained library service and to purchas7
such hooks as. were not given. This
work has been accomplished. Several
hundred thousand books already have
been given, but more are needed as some
of the fund must be reserved to buy
technical books which Will not be sup
piled by gift. The public Is now asked
to make large gifts of popular books
not books which we do not care for, but
such books as interest men at home
even to sacrifice books which we would
like to keep in order that the boy
lover there and at camps here may
not lack interesting reading for thei
/ leisure moments.
/ Many appeals for reading come from
the camps, even like this: I'm the mex
box. don t bother about the eats, bu
send us books Books are what W
need most \ committee will call q
the homes next week and it is hope,
that n large number of desirable book
VIII be waiting for them. Better still
send the books to the public hbrar
and thus save the committee the wor
of carrying them.
