LIBRARY NOTES
America Month-February

FEBRUARY is the ideal month
in which to celebrate America
month for it not only includes
the birthdays of our two great
est Americans, Washington and
Lincoln, but also the approp-
riate weeks of National Drama
Week, Boy Scout Anniversary
Week and National Defense
Week. America Month belongs
to the nation in the celebration
of her two greatest men, but
we must not forget there are
other great Americans whose
birthdays fall in this month. To
mention only a few, there are
Horace Greeley, Thomas A. Ed
ison, William F. Cody, Henry W.
Longfellow, Susan B. Anthony,
Elihu Root and Roger Williams.
The American Way of Life
has been built through three
hundred years upon the lives
of our forefatherS. Our children
must relive these lives to know
of what stuff American ira
ditions are made. To be great
and to remain free, Americans
must underline Lincoln's
Gettysburg Address where he
said, I'VE take increased de-
votion to that cause for which
they gave the last full meas
ure of DEVOTION" that cause was
of freedom. Devotion today to
the things America stands for
can be inspired through the
reading about the deeds OF
great men who helped to make
America.
Probably never before has
there been so great a need for
understanding and appreciation
of our American way of life
and it's underlying philosophy.
In these troubled days abroad,
we can not overemphaSize the
vital role played by our inSpir-
ing leaders and events of yes
terday in making America to-
day the bulwark of liberty and
democracy.
On the shelves of Big Horn
County library are a number
of books on the lives and deeds
of many great Americans.
These books are grouped to-
gether in one section for the
convenience of it's patrons dur
ing this month. These books
will help bring the thrill of be-
ing an American to all America
