FELTON,

With the thermometer lowering just
at zero last Thursday and Friday and
a heavy snow fall covering the face of
the earth, the people of this part of
Delaware were thankful that they
were not compelled to face the storm
and cold through necessity to do any
outside work-Other than caring for
their stock and keeping the fuel in
the house for fires. But the weather
changed on Saturday and the snow
went rapidly on Sunday, while on Mon
day the weather was warm and the
thermometer stood at so degrees
above zero. That was some change,
and it made the roads almost impas-
sable for travel-eXcept those who
happened to be located along the new
concrete boulevard. But the roads of
FELTON, and vicinity are simply horrible
this winter. Lets hope they will be
better before another winter season
starts. The change for cooler weather
in the past few days, was really well
come, as it partly helped dry off some
of the roads in the sandy sections.
The w. C. T. U. held very inter
esting meeting last week at the home

The weather has been too cold to
ship sweet potatoes from the large
storage houses near FELTON,, this win
ter. Even if the weather had not been
cold, the bad roads have embargo the
hauling of large wagon loads of pO-
tatOes. The price has been just fair
for sweets this winter-but the large
storage houses are yet to be opened
for market.
From present indications, there will
be large acreage of both canteloupes
and watermelons planted in this sec

will also want tomatoes grown

STATE LIBRARY
WORK EXPANDING
BOOKS CIRCULATED ABOUT COMMON
WEALTH l29 TIMES DURING The
PAST YEAR, 1921.
LIBRARIAN MAKES REPORT
W0MEN'S CLUBS, READING ROOMS AND
HOUSEHOLDS ARE GRATEFUL FOR
THESE PRIVILEGES,

One of the constructive efforts car
ried on by the State in which all Del
awareans may take an interest and
may feel large measure of satisfac-
ton is the work of the State Library
Commission. Its history year by year
is one of quiet, steady growth, of ex-
pansiOn so far as funds permit, of
continued enthusiasm on the part of
the workers and of appreciation on
the part of the borrowers.
The commission has over one hun
dred small libraries which are sent
to rural schools and other Organiza-
tiOns, and it also sends out autOmo-
biles carrying books over 28 different
routes to more than HOO families.
At the January meeting of the Com
mission, held at its headquarters in
Dover, the annual report of the Lii
brarian, Miss Ida V. Culbreth, gave
a very interesting survey of this work.
Miss Culbreth said in part:
During 1921 the travelling libraries
were circulated 129 times, of this
number Ill were in schools and IS
with organizations; 1874 books were
loaned to 675 individuals making a
total of 500 requests for books and
libraries and 7140 volumes were sent
out from this Office. While there is
no great evidence of the number of
free libraries in the state being in
creased, the wOmen's clubs are inter-
ested in their club libraries and read
ing rooms, and a number of them are
using our travelling libraries, and
books for special readings. We also
hov rio fHn 1Ak
adelphia, the Maritime Exchange,
Lewes, and the Edge Moor Social As
sOciation.
The year 1921 was very full one
with the book wagons, and if we are
to judge by all that has been said in
praise of the work, the interest dis
played by the librarians, the help they
have given, the thorough enjoyment
and helpfulness of the books, it may
indeed be considered a most success
full one. The following statistics for
the year exceed in number any prev
ious year. Two hundred and ninety
eight trips were made over the %
routes in the state, 81 more than in
1920; 1107 homes were visited, 152
more than in 1920, and 28,519 volumes
loaned, $500 more than in 1920"
Persons interested in this work
realize as never before that statis-
tics do not tell the whole story. The
reports of the book-automobile librar-
ians show great devotion and enthusi-
asm and are refreshingly full of hu-
man interest, abounding in comments
such as these:
THE books are eagerly received
