There are a number OF books III the
historical and reference classihcations
that are OF immense value which are
not being used, according to the Ii
brarian. These are Of too advanced
nature for children, and there IS no
demand for them with people who
could understand and appreciate them:
The library has proved to be OF
value to various organizations IN DaW-
son that are studying historical and
other subjects. Among these are the
Daughters OF the American Revolu-
ton, the Daughters of the COntedera-

The library was completed in 1914
and has been in operation Tor nine
years Miss Cheatham has been IN
charge during this time and was in
charge of the old library before the
Carnegie library was placed here
The greatest need of the library
Miss Cheatham indicated, is general
support from the people. Under the
conditions Of the Carnegie grant SlO;-

INSURANCE CAMPAIGN TO

A campaign in which the local post
of the American Legion and the
United States veterans bureau will
cooperate in the interest OF getting
ex-service men to reinstate thir war
tim insurance before the time expires
will be launched in Dawson shortly.
There are a number of such men in

the plan before them.
The veterans bureau believes this
plan to be the best and cheapest yet
devised whereby ex-service men may
get insurance A circular letter urging
reinstatement Of the insurance is be
ing gotten out by the bureau to mem
bers of the Legion and the local post
will make an effort to get man to
work on the project.
The Dawson post plans to extend
every cooperation possible to make
the drive a success. In the meantime,

MANY ARE USING
DAWSON LIBRARY
HAS BEEN CONGRATULATED
ON CIRCULATION BY STATE
LIBRARY COMMISSION.

Dawson is deriving considerably
more benefit from her library than
the average town OF this size.
In report made recently by Miss
Fannie Cheatham. librarian, to the
Georgia State Library Commission in
Atlanta. the circulation OF volumes
from the library was placed at $3.50,
which. with 700 card holders, indi-
Gates the appreciation with which the
library is viewed.
Following the report a letter from
the commission complimenting the Ii
brary on its circulation was received,
According to the figures contained
in this report. which was made by the
library for the year ending Novem-
Der |. 1928, there was an average OF
more than 125 books loaned on each
card. Only two cards are issued in
each family. and accordingly it is safe
TO assume that some families in Daw-
son took Is books from the library,
or about an average OF one book every
fortnight.
The circulation OF books includes
the entire county in addition to Daw-
son. With the population of the Coun-
Nv DldC6Q dl 1T,OOO II ilOdAlo tAleAt
roughly. one book for each three per
sons was read.
The grown-ups OF the city and
county, according to Miss Cheatham
90 in almost entirely for fiction. Rel
erence and historical volumes have an
occasional call and the remainder OF
the library is practically unused by
adults.
1t is a different story with the chill
dren's books, however. Through Co
operation between the library and
members of the various parent-teach-
er associations in the city and cOun-
~ children are taking a systematic
course of reading. The books are ia
ken from the library by a member
of the association or one OF the teach
ers, according to Miss Cheatham and
after they have been read are return
ed by the original borrower.
The books used for children are, tor
the greater part, valuable from his
torical, literary or scientific point OF
view In employing the terms des1g-
mating the nature OF the books the
library classification is used. 1t IS
much more broad and liberal than the
text book Interpretation. Accordingly
folklore tales, like Uncle Remus
come under the head of sociological
reading, whereas in the college cur
riculum it may be a study of the all
ments of society.
Children, probably, are receiving
more benefit from the library than any
others. Miss Cheatham, in response
to a question. declared this depart
ment of the institution to be the best

supply salesman. He was arrested by
Fire Chief Nickerson, brought before
the Mayor and fined SIS, which sum
was turned in by Police Chief Oakford
Cobb, a five dollar bill being pinned
to his weekly report sheets.
A very important piece of informa-
ton was sent from Newark recently
by M. T. Long, chief of the police
division, Department of Public Safety,
of that city, to the chief Of police of
wildwood. The letter was signed by
Frank E. Brex, captain of police, for
his chief. 1t ran like this:
From a press account we learned
recently that a Wildwood undertaken
was swindled by a telephone game. If
it will aid you, we would suggest that
our No. 1892 was arrested here on
March 8, 1922, for this kind of prac-
tice and is, no doubt, the same man."
A picture Of No. 1892 accompanied
the letter giving a front view and a
side view of the man. When the pic
ture was shown to B. G. "Ingersoll,
who was lured to New York several
weeks ago and defrauded out of $50,
plus the expenses of the trip, he
identified it as that of the person who
had victimized him. The name Of this
alleged slick operator is said to be

Thirty days hath September,
April, June and November.

Last Tuesday afternoon on the Sd
of this 30-day month of April, the
Wildwood City Commissioners bios
somed forth in spring attire, going
through once more with their regular
weekly program which, of necessity,
is more or less of a s%treotyped form,
Frequently some of the prescribed
duties are discharged in the most per-
functory manner. The routine Of leg
islative business is irksome, as a rule,
and it is only occasionally that some
thing out of the ordinary comes up
before the Commissioners to break the
monotony of the session and enliven
the proceedings.
One of these unexpected diversions
occurred at this weeks meeting when
L. E. Wilkinson, representing the
Lunken Window Co., of Cincinnati, o.,
and the Chamberlin Metal Weather
Strip Co., of Detroit, Mich, was
granted permission to exhibit a model
of the patented windows he is selling
and for which 100 per cent ventilation
is claimed. He demonstrated also the
advantages of using the patented me-
tallic weather strips and showed how
these are attached to windows and
doors. Mr.. Wilkinson asserted that a
saving of rs per cent in fuel can be
effected by means of these strips. He
would like to have the city install a
number Of these fuel-saving devices
in City Hall and in the first n third
ward fire houses. Prices on the Lun-
ken windows and on the weather
strips were submitted to the Com
missioners. 1t is probable that in the
new public comfort building to be
erected soon along the boardwalk at
Lincoln avenue these patented Win
dows may be used in the q openings
up stairs. Architect Boyer says bids
will be asked for both ways-for the
ordinary window and for the Lunken
window. This new station on the
boardwalk is to be heated by steam
and to be kept open, it is planned, all
the year round.
In demonstrating the products of
the companies he represents, this
clever salesman seemed to make a
good impression on the Commission
ers as we'll as on the spectators pres
ent, all appearing to be deeply abb
sorbed and entertained while this ex-
pert was manipulating his model. To
purchase or not to purchase-that is
the uuestion-and the matter has been
taken under advisement by the Com
missioners. Though heavy the bur-
dens, the temptation to increase them
is ever present in n guise or an
other.
In the arrangement of u present
calendar seven of the months are al
lotted 81 days each, and foul of the
months 80 days each, April, as men
toned, being in the latter group. This
complexity was introduced into the
calendar by the Caesars Julius and
Augustus) and has remained there
these 1000 years, forcing millions to
learn that thirty days hath Septem-
ber," etc. There has been much agi-
tation for relief from this u~nscientific
calendar. We naturally look to as
tronomers for leadership in the ac-
complishment of this great reform,
definitely fixing for all time the dates

April has achieved much notoriety
because Of it's abundant showers,
bringing in their wake the flowers of
May-bringing the robin and the rose,
daisies rare and violets fair; and
bringing also, on its very first day,
mirth and jollity, because of the al
