Ia year old, having been formally
opened last May, it is estimated that
$500 bound books have been COL
lected and distributed. There are
no cards issued at the library, book
lovers being permitted to borrow
any book which may be on the
shelves with the request that if it
is convenient, the book be returned
when finished reading.
A periodical and newspaper cor
ner has become one of the most
popular spots in the library and is
patronized daily by dozens of out
of-town men and women noStalgi-
cally hunting for their home town
paper. While there are some paid
subscriptions for papers, many are
received from the Offices of Sena-
tors and Representatives where Miss
Carol Wanner, volunteer worker
at the library, and member of the
Libraries Association, calls daily for
these contributions. Another spe-
cial service has been planned by
Miss Ann Trittipo, also of the asso-
citation, who organized flower
committee, which takes care of
flower decorations at the center.
Through publicity originate e d
through members a complete box of
books was forwarded to the library
from the associations national
headquarters in New York.
In addition to the work at the
center library, members of the as
sociation are now extending volun-
teer services to the Gales School
Annex, the Officers Service Club of
the United Nations, the George
Washington Lodgings and Service
Club No. l, which they supply with
newspapers and reading material.
AS all of the volunteer workers
are professional librarians and con-
tribute their services after filling
their Official duties, it remains
mystery how they are able to keep
a librarian on duty at the center
from 6 am. until midnight daily
and from noon until midnight
Sundays.
In addition to their services as
librarians, the women find oppor-
tunity to salvage discarded publica-
tions whose sales provide funds to
purchase current books. More than
500 has been acquired this way and
a weekly average of five new books
is purchased and added to the
library shelves.
All clubWomen are invited to par
ticipate in this war effort by, con-
tributlng books, periodicals or other
reading material to the center.

Women Contribute to War Effort
Special Libraries association
aids United Nations Center
By Gretchen Smith,
Wonen's Club Editor.

When the history of the war i.
written, 1t is hoped the authors will
give full credit to the work done BY
women's organizations in innumer-
able ways which have brought pleas
ure to service men and women ano
contributed so much in boosting the
morale of the fighting forces.
Practically all clubwomen have
done their share of Red Cross work
and participated in many of the
same undertakings, but, in addition
there have been individual tasks
performed by organizations who
have specialized in one particular
job for which they feel specially
equipped.
No group has given more generously
of its talents and time to a particu-
lar war effort than the District
Chapter, D. c., of the Special Libra
rieS Association which is sponsor
ing library at the United Nations
Service Center, where uniformed
men and women have access to
reading matter "a hours a day.
At the time the United Nations
Center was opened in October, 1858
practically every service the found
ers' could think of was established
for the comfort of the guests. rang
ing from that of a chiropodist to a
day nursery, but there was no Ii
brary.
Following a donation of $25 by
one of the centers guests, for the
purchase of books during the Christ
mas holidays of 1943, a group OF
volunteers at the center, headed by
Mrs. Stella M. Lands, met to dis
cuss ways and means of providing
a library One of the volunteer
workers, Miss Julia Banks, was also
q member of the Special Libraries
. Association, and she carried The
suggestion to her chapter to assist
in the Service Center Library prof.
ect.
Her suggestion was enthusiastic
ally received and so members of the
association Immediately agreed to
take the library at the center as
their responsibility.
A room at the center, which oc-
cupies the seven-story building,
formerly the Capitol Park Hotel,
near Union Station, was provided
for the library. Members of the
Special Libraries Association organ
lied a group to solicit contributions
of books, magazines, newspapers
and records and soon boxes filled
with contributions of reading ma
terial began to arrive at the center
from publishers, business organiza-
tions, Federal departments and in
dividuals. Over 95 per cent of the
contributions were current good
books and periodicals and many
famous old classics were also among
the donations received.
Maj. Elliott Niles, Special Serv-
ices, United States Army, made
available so carton of pocket book

very popular with men returning to

 Prick said at a Rotary Club meet ing yesterday that he favored a limit on night schedules of seven home games per club "or at the most I4."
 T practically started night base- ball and I liked 1t at the beginning, he said. Tt saved the St. Louis Cardinals, but 1t is getting too far ahead of itself"
 An important consideration is the effect of night baseball on youngsters, who are unable to at- tend the games, he said. Prick also said the teams lost a lot of pub- licity because morning newspapers were unable to carry results in early editions,

 '45 Yale OK.
BY WILLIAM D, CLARK


 United Press Staff Correspondent
 New Haven, Conn, (UP)-Howie Odell isn't one to beat the drum, but he thinks he's got Q mighty good football team at Yale this year even better than last seasons un- beatables.
 And for three reasons: he has 5a,- vaged seven nlen, good and true from the 1914 varsity, along with as many top-notch reserve letter- men; two weeks of summer practice has put the squad in better-shape than in past years, and "the old Yale spirit ia pack again."
 Odell counts lot on that spirit. He thought it was a bit shoddy last year, with all the service trans fers mixing in, but his team man. aged to count seven wins and tie and hold opponents to an accumu- lation of four touchdowns. stJ. .. men; ;letetr luot
 All Set
 As a matetr of fact there's so much spirit to spare now that the young Eli football genius has even picked his tentative first team a month in advance of the opening game. It lines up like this:
 Ends-Capt. Paul Walker, who made about every All-America last year, and Jimmy Smith, a hard working holdover and "mosf i'm. proved man on the squad"
 TackleS-Dick Hollingshead. who knows how to throw his weight (210-up IS from last year) around, and Nick Fusilli, inherited from Dartmouth at mid-season last year and whom Dartmouth would like to have back again.
 Guards-Dave Eicher, fastest man on the squad, and Porky Ballard, who got his chance when Mac Whit ing broke a leg last season.
 Center: Bull Montana, five feet six. and 170 pounds of deception.
 Backs: Lou SavareSe, pass perfec- tionist; Bill Penn, regarded as one of the best in the east; Buggy Cher, shifted from tackle where he ex- celled last year, and Tommy Scan- nell, back from the Navy to play fullback.
 Odell is giving the '"T" formation another whirl and hopes to put more emphasis on the offensive and re- peat the 1944 record with touch downs to spare.
 Practice sessions start again next Thursday with a squad of 35, in- cluding II promising freshmen. The season opens Sept. 29 against Tufts, and will be followed by Holy Cross, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Brown, Coast Guard and Princeton. All are home games except Colum- bia and Princeton.
