Mr.. Babp. who proposed the reso-

need for the central library because
for the time being the administra-

handle any additional branch ibrar-

Mr.. Babp added that he intended
to refer the resolution to the Edu-
cation Committee of the Federation
of Citizens Associations for action
by that body.
A motion was approved requesting
q change to the old hours for en-

Mr.. Harold Lambertson, business
man of this city, was unfortunate
enough to get his left hand mixed
up with a hamburger mixer on last

his fingers is much shorter than it
was before the accident.
Mr.. Lambertson has been suffering
much pain from the wound, but, at
this writing is experiencing some re-
lief. His shortened finger will, no
doubt, prove very inconvenient, until
he can adopt himself to the new or
der. After that he will not be ser
iously incapacitated.
