Stearns Publishers
Enjoy Annual Meet
FILA Helps Advertising, Said Fred
Shilplin, Host At Dinner
At Breen

Stearns County Publishers were
guests of Fred Schilplin, publisher
of the st. Cloud Times, at the as
sociation's annual meeting held al
the Breen Hotel Saturday evening,
at which all but one of the pub
fishers were present.
Following the splendid dinner
Mr.. Schilplin, state FILA admins
traitor, asked the support of the
newspapermen of the county for
Minnesota's better housing pro-
gram which has given newspapers
of the state 60 million more lines
of advertising. He stated that there
is business for newspapers in the
federal housing program, and pre-
dicted that an unprecedented boom
of house building is in the offing
mot business blocks, but homes,
rhe said. Architects have learned
that the only thrill there is to
building skyscraper is the thrill
of watching it go up. They almost
always result in headaches for all
concerned" the Times publisher
declared.
To the country editor the best
bet in increased advertising is
farm rehabilitation. This will be a
big field, according to Schilplin
because many farms have stood
stilT' for some years and when the
farmer makes money again, he is
going to repair, repaint, and spend
money on his farm, work which has
been becoming more necessary
year after year, but which the
great farm depression held up, he
said.
The speaker reminded the news
papermen that the federal housing
administration is one unit which
has operated without government
money. 1t guarantees credit, and
the credit of the people in Mime.

Christmas Red
Cross Seal Sale

What does the penny Christmas
Seal bring to our county?
This is a universal question al
Christmas time when the little
health stamps go on sale, accord
ing to the president of the Stearns
County Public Health Association
who points out that every county
including Stearns, has specific
health projects made possible
through the annual sale of Christ
mas Seals and also shares in the
statewide health educational pro.
gram and other activities.

culin testing program was con-
Quoted by DR.. Kathleen Jordan of
Granite Falls in all the high schools
of the county with 2,049 students
and 103 staff members receiving
the test. Positive reactors were
X-rayed. Similar programs were
conducted in the county in 1881,
1882 and 1888. Seal funds were also
used to pay for X-ray of positive
reactors in a survey conducted this
year at st. Cloud Orphanage.
During the health survey In
1880 including % town schools, g.
967 children were inspected by the
Christmas Seal nurse. Seal funds
amounting to $500 were appropriate
ed for county nursing service in
1880 and a scale as well as litera-
ture and other health material
were provided. Scales have been
furnished the Richmond school and
the Garfield, Union and st. Johns
schools in st. Cloud.
During the 1934-35 school year, a
health lecture course was put on
at the st. Cloud Teachers College
under the joint auspices of the

FRANCE TOHAVE
OWN ANNAPOLIS

PARIS. Nov. 81. (UR) = After
years of a lively controversy over
whether youth can learn to be a
sailor on land, Frances new naval
academy at Brest has been for
mally opened and has begun train
ing it's first cadets.
The saltier members of the
French navy have been against the
school from the first, steadfastly
insisting that the only way to be-
come sailor is to sail. But the
schools proponents, pointing to
Annapolis and other navy training
establishments ashore, held equal
ly firmly to their point, with the
result that despite the objections
young French naval officers in the
future will get good part OF their
training in the new school at
BreSt.
The navy ministry insists that
the French Annapolis will neither
render more difficult nor less COM
plete the training of Frances fu-
ture officers. On the contrary, ev-
erything will be done at the school
so that the students absorb the
true instinct of men of the sea-"
A spacious building some 1000
feet long, the school can accommo-
date 400 cadets, although the first
contingent includes only 1853. 1t is
equipped with the most modern
amphitheaters and laboratories for
all studies connected with the sea.
There are physical and chemical
laboratories, special naval work.

HSINKING, Nov. 81. U.P)-Man-
chukuo is gradually realizing its ideal
of peace within, security from
without" Manchukuoan officials
say, but they admit it is impossible
to estimate the progress that has
been made during the four years
of the new states existence.
I'VE are moving forward" Pre-
mier Chang Ching-hui says, but
we cannot say more than that be-
cause we wish to avoid all grandiose
statements, sweeping claims and un-
substantiated assertions"
The Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Chang Yen-ching, pointed out that
there are some 20 tribes, races,
creeds and banners now living under
the Manchukuoan flag, making this
country a truly melting pot" of
Asia. 1t is not possible, he said, to
read their hearts and know the quail
ity of their loyalty and there has
yet been no opportunity for an acid
test of their fidelity to Manchukuo.
Races Are Diversified
I'm Manchukuo, the Chinese peo-
pie have their emperor as their
symbol. The White Russians have
new land, where they are free
and equal to every man and have
every protection from the Red Ter
ror. The Mongols have their own ad-
ministration in the north with prac-
tically no interference in their in
ternal affairs. The ManchuS are
jealous in their love for their ma
tive land.
There is still vestige of mis-
trust and suspicion among these

LIBRARIES
INDICATE END
OF SLUMP

The Ell Centro city library, the
Imperial county library, and schools
throughout the valley are cooperat-
ing in celebrating National Book
week, which this year has been de-
voted to children's books.
Special displays, reviews of chill
dren's books, and other programs
are being sponsored by the schools,
with each school planning its own
observation.
National Book week first began
as an effort of publishers to for
ward the sale OF children's books IL
was later taken up by the National
Library association as an opportu-
nifty to get the public as whole,
adults as we'll as children, better ac-
quainted with the libraries.
Our library branches serve as ex-
cellent barometers of business ac-
tivity throughout the county," Ro-
maine Richmond, county librarian,
told Press reporter yesterday. She
pointed to records from 1929 to 1882
which showed a 300 per cent in
crease in circulation. Added leisure
gave people more time to read. Com
paratively, records for the last two
years showed a sharp drop in cir
culation. People are going back to
work, they no longer have time to
read so much, Miss Richmond said.
Covers Big Area
This record covered large area,
tho onI,rtvy 1ihrarxr cor,yac OF
branches throughout the valley in
addition to the books kept at the
detention home, the county farm,
the Hi-PasS health camp, and those
circulated in 81 school districts.
Throughout the county, 25, 500 peo-
pie read books from the county Ii
brary branches during the fiscal
year which ended in July. In the
school districts, 35,577 supplement
tary reareds and 8,611 books for
school reading tables were loaned.
The depression was instrumental
in making people library conscious,
Miss Richmond believes, as well as
for improving their reading tastes.
I'VE serve large patronage for
whom it is difficult to get books
other than through our branches
because of their inaccessibility to a
city library" she says, "the county
library system really providing en-
tirely new fields for these people
to explore and conquer"
The close contact kept with the
school system and the number of
books suitable for children of all
ages which must be maintained and
kept in condition provides addition
al heavy work for county library as
sistants. All three points of the Ii
brary's service triangle must be up
to-date and well-stocked for the
benefit of schools, rural readers, and
county guests.

fighter, the albacore.
Return of this prize trophy-a
long filmed cousin of the whopper
tuna-WaS welcomed by sportSmen
and commercial fishery interests.
This gamey fish disappeared from
California waters several years ago,
but great schools of them are COM
ing home again.
State fish and game biologists,
who specialize in studies of strange
marine life and habits, believe that
the sudden influx of albacore is
due to the warmer water close to
the California coast. The waters
, were too chilly for them in the
frigid open Pacific, it is believed.
Return From Far Pacific
Scientists expressed belief that
albacore h a d established their
homes far off the California coast.
They seldom ventured close enough
to shore to be caught by anglers
and small boat fishermen.
With all the thrill of '49er gold
discovery, epicurean sportsmen and
commercial fishermen hauled out
the old outriggers, busted off
feather lures and headed for the
new fishing grounds for trolling
the first time the albacore has been
seen in productive numbers since
1926. Hundreds of sportsmen were
rewarded by fine catches.
California's state patrol boat, the
Albacore, namesake of the long alb
sent fish, is cruising California
waters for a survey of their home
coming.

venience and TO save the library as
sistants' time. A shelf in the front
of the building is kept stocked with
a wide assortment of the latest books
Here the reader may find those in
which he has become interested
through current book reviews. New
books, When received, are kept for
a week on a shelf near the check
ing desk where everyone may in
spect them and write in their names
for reservation.
Books Kept Repaired
This weeks most popular books
have proven to be Measuring Eth
opia and Flight Into Arabia" by c.
S. Coon and MY Country and My
People," a story of China by Lin
Yutang. Each book has seven reser-
vations awaiting its release.
In addition to checking books, as
sisting patrons, and keeping up on
literature generally, the librarian
and her assistants must devote a
great deal of time to keeping books
in repair. Once a week books are
sewn and mended. One half of all
damaged books, amounting to about
100 month, are repaired by the Ii
brary assistants. The remainder have
their backs SO badly broken or are
so worn that they must be sent out
for rebinding.
Despite many handicaps the Ell
Centre city library has still been
frequently complimented on the bal
anced reading diet available and on
the quality of the general service
maintained.

and electricity and an observatory.
There is even a special laboratory
devoted exclusively to torpedoes.
There are many ships attached to
the academy, including sailing YES
sells, launches, dispatch boats and
submarines. Cadets are promised
that the courses, far from making
them landlubbers, will include
cruises along the coast and abroad

out to sea near Brest. The cruiser

curing the fiscal year ending IN
July by the library staff. These books
were borrowed by GIG Ell Centrans
OF all ages and from every walk of
lie. Probably as many more resi-
dents and transients, who are unreg-
sfstered, use the library as a reading
room and for reference purposes
The average borrower takes out II
books year, more than he would if
he lived in any number of other
cities of Ell Centro's size.
Who are these borrowers? What
do they like to read? Are people
! reading more than they formerly
J did? Thousands of. questions on the
library and its operation are born
OF these statistics.
Reading tastes are definitely i'm
proving, people are reading more
non-fiction and better fiction. Book
circulation has increased steadily
since the beginning of the depreS-
sion. These facts are dragged from
Spages of figures by Mrs. A. F.. Bige-
loW librarian, who is an ardent sup
porter of National Book Week, OBJ
served this week. She finds two rea-
sons for the better reading trend.
First, non-fiction books are written
more for the layman than ever be-
fore They have become interesting
and entertaining as well as instruc-
tive. Second, the public has had
more leisure and has turned toward
more serious reading to solve its
problems since the depression.
The borrowers are 1air cross
section of people as whole. Zane
Grey's books are the most widely
read, followed closely by other west
ern writer's. Mystery stories come
next. Travel books find slightly
greater circulation than biographies,
these two being the most popular
). types of non-fiction.
Most Popular Book
The most popular book in the his
tory of the Ell Centro library is the
biography, will Rogers" by P. j.
O'Brien. With a waiting list of 81
it has surpassed Anthony Adverse"
in reader-intereSt.
Circulation has increased because
of the greater amount of leisure
time enjoyed by the average reader
Many who have found the land of
books a new and interesting world
are keeping up and will continue to
. keep up their reading although
their leisure has been reoccupied
Mrs. BigeloW believes.
The greatest readers are farm
people. Cut off as they are from
city entertainment they read more
sand better books as whole, the IL
brarian has found. However, all resi-
dents here read more, and books are
more important to them from both
cultural and entertainment stand
point because they are not near
enough to-. a large city to find other
things to replace their reading.
Most readers choose carefully, the
librarian says, picking a balanced
variety of fiction, ,travel,and cultural
reading. OF course, she smiles, we
do have some readers like the wo-
man who came in regularly every
two weeks and checked out five
books. One day the lady confided
that her bookcase was built for that
number and that she thought it
tnice to have change of bindings
every so often.
