Before thls town was called Nau- satuck, 1t was known as Salem, and the Salem juvenile library was combined with the Salem library in 1H30. These books were printed be- tor that time, Miss Janet M. Merrill, librarian of the Howard Whitten1ore Memorial Chlldrens' lahrary, told The Democrat,
 In addition there is on display, one volume of Trumbulls two vol- tune History of Connecticut which was part of the Salem library collec- tlon and was published in i7o7.
 Another outstanding feature of the exhibit are four first editions of Rudyard Kipllng, noted English author. These are of "The Jungle Book" "Second Jungle Book" "A Fleet in Being" and "schoolboy Lyrics.
 Kipllng Essay
 Tn addition there Is an unusual example of Kipling's writing, the original Of an essay by him, entitled An English School" and written about the school where he studied, Westward Ho. This was presented to the library by tho Whittemore fam- lly.
 This le-page essay contains many corrections and insertions written by Kipllng in his own hand, The others in the group of Kipling'S work were given to the library by the late Nelson Spencer, who was Q personal friend of the author, The Second Jungle Books, "A Fleet in Being," and "Schoolboy Lyrics, are all autographed and personally in- serihed to Mir. Spencer.
 It ls interesting to note that the hrst edition of "A Fleet In Being" sold for just one shilling, or about s5 cents in U. S. money. Now it ls \ very valuable book because 1t is Q nrst edition.
 "Schoolboy Lyrics. Miss Merrill pointed out, was published by Kip lings parents and there were only 50 copies printed. She feels that the local library is indeed fortunate to have q copy of 1t.
 The Kipling books mentioned above are in one glass case this week in the Children's library. In another is the exhibit of books of 100 years ago, including "Plutarch's Lives, the four titles from the Sa- lem Juvenile library, Trumbuli's History of Connecticut" and several other books.
 Included among these are New England Primer" published In i799 and an 1898 edition of Peter Par ley's Geography. Peter Farley was the pen name for Samuel c. Good- rich of Southbury.
 There is also merit card used in a school about 100 years ago. It belonged to ENezer Faunce. grand father of Miss Frances Burns, local nigh school teacher.
 In this case also are several old
