Arizona Wants More
Libraries for Public

Approximately 100000 persons
in Arizona, or 4O% of the present
estimated population, have no &C.
cess to library books.
Arizona's public libraries contain
only one-half book for each person
in the state.
Arizona spends only Is cents per
capita annually for libraries al
though the recommended national
minimum is now $1.50.
These and other revealing facts
about Arizona libraries are brought
out in a survey of libraries in the
state recently completed by the
survey committee of the Arizona
State Library Association, Miss
Patricia Paylore, University of Ari-
zona Library, chairman. The sur
vey will be published in the forth
coming issue of the associations
journal Arizona Libraries.
Four entire counties, Apache,
Mohave, Navajo, and Pinal have
no public libraries according to the
survey. Many other communities,
Kingman, Florence, Coolidge,
Superior, Winslow, to name few,
have no libraries.
Arizona's people are lacking
much more than books alone, the
survey points out, since books are
only a part of the service offered
to modern public libraries.
There are no bookmobiles to
carry reading materials to rural
areas, although these are common
in other parts of the country.
There is very little sevice de-
signed for children. Although their
reading needs are considered Wit
ally important by libraries only
Phoenix, Maricopa County, and
Tucson-Pima County libraries have
specially serviced children's collec-
tionS.
In many libraries no magazines
or newspapers, save the local pa
per are available to readers.
Only Phoenix offers reference
service, that service organized to
help people answer their questions
through the use OF llDrarleS. Iuc-
son does such work in its circula-
ton department, but there is none
elsewhere.
The survey shows further that
there are only 20 public libraries
in the state including the Mari
copa County Library which serves
the rural areas Of, the Salt River
Valley, and the Tucson Public Lii
brary which offers service to Pima
county but which, for lack of facili-
ties, cannot reach many small COM
munities in its area.
AS the first step to remedy Ari-
zona's library situation the State
Library Association expects to
bring bill before the legislature
to establish library extension serv-
ice. This service, in the Department
of Library and Archives, will make
a plan for Arizona libraries, en-
courage the establishment of new
libraries, and even provide direct
service, as available, by mail to
parts of the state not now served.

Hello there, here and every
where. It is good to be here isn't
it after hearing about all of those
blizzards up the country. The
ground hog saw his shadow too
remember. Marva is sueing Joe
Louis again for divorce again, that
gal,-can't she make up her mind
ito keep that man, maybe she needs
little help from a gal like me.
After all he is tall, tan and ter
rific-plus plenty of that stuff that
folds so nice and is so convenient
to handle and have. In the Union
of South Africa, there is Cultural
Council who is sponsoring a COM
petition to find a suitable national
wedding march, which should be
"as light as a bride walking over
the carpet, and fill the nervous
bridegroom with courage" The old
tune. "Here comes the Bride" is
getting ito be obsolete to them
And we call them dumb. Wonder
why none of us ever thought of
that, I will add this, 1 think a
little "Be Bop" would give the
Bride "a little bit of courage, some
times the brides knees get SO
shacky and all she can do is, Oh!
we'll if you haven't been through
it, draw your own conclusion. 1t
seems that Georgia is going to get
to keep its Klu Klux Klan. The
Georgia house of Representatives
killed a bill to make it illegal
eighty-nine to sixty-five, and it is
said fifty-one didn't vote. So silence
gives consent they tell me. Now
if that was a Negro organization
against another race, and had done
as much damage as they have.
there would be "a bill in Washing
ton to have out-lawed them long,
lone r7go. I am sure all of you who
heard the life of Phyllis Wheatly
over CHS last week enjoyed it.
Wouldn't it be grand to be able
to listen to the life of a famous
Negro each week or each month,
instead of once a year. Many folks
think Carver, Washington, Joe
Louis, Douglas and Bethune and
Jackie r. are all of the famous
Negroes in America.
You would be surprised at the

ary 1, 1916, which was built up
over period of so years.
Due to continuing demands for
additional and improved service
the company stated that further
substantial construction programs
will be required. The 1949 pro-
gram calls for $8,5O0,00.
The application stated that the
company's expenses have increased
much faster than revenues. For
example, labor costs which take
about tWo-thirds of each dollar of
revenue are now 558 percent great
er than in 1889 due to higher wage
levels and more employees, while
revenues have increased 272 per-
cent.
The cost of practically every
thing used for providing telephone
service has increased substantially.
Some of the increases over 1889
prices mentioned by the company
were poles, 70 percent; copper
wire, 40 percent; cable, 115 per-
cent, crossarms, ITO percent, build
ings, 100 to 160 percent; and in
stallers' trucks, 100 percent.
The company stated that the in
vestment per telephone for the 49,
356 added in 1948 was $375 as COM
pared to $203 in 1915. It is esti-
mated that each telephone added
in 1949 will cost even more. The
depreciation expense which is
based on plant costs is therefore
increasing rapidly.
Earnings on its intrastate opera
tions in Arizona are less than 21s
percent on the original cost of the
property, according to the COM
pany. To continue its expansion
and service improvement program,
large amounts of new capital will
be needed. Money received by the
company from its customers in
payment of monthly telephone SER
vice is used to meet day to day
expenses such as wages, taxes and
other operating costs. Money for
service improvement to present
customers and provision of service
to those whose orders are untitled
must come from new capital Sc
cured from the sale of company
stock and securities. The company
states that the present low level
of earnings will not attract inves-
tors to invest the additional capital
needed.
The increases sought by the COM
pany will vary for individual GUS
toners depending on the type of
service they have and the exchange
in which they are located. The
schedules filed with the Commits
sion when added to the increase
granted in March, 1947, will
amount to an overall average in
crease of % percent in total reve-
nues in Arizona. This, the company
pointed out in it's application, COM
pares with increases since 1889 of
73 percent in the cost of living, 89
percent for new automobiles; wear
ing apparel, 100 percent; rail
freight rates, 50 percent; food costs,
118 percent; along with other ex-
amples cited.

Choosing Our Weapons

With methods of warfare undergoing
revolutionary changes, it has become
necessary to use the greatest possible wis
dom in discarding conventional weapons
and techniques and choosing new ones.
It is especially important in the tran
sitional period that careful thought be
given not only to atomic and bacterio-
logical warfare but to how far it is safe
to 60 in dispensing with pre-atomic tactics
and strategy.
This is the reasoning behind the creation
by Defense Secretary Forrestal of the
Weapons Systems Evaluation Group, with
Lieutenant General John E. Hull, COM
mander of Army forces in the Pacific, as
director. The group will be responsible
for the careful evaluation of all present
and projected systems of attack and de-
fense." A civilian research director will be
appointed as chief scientific officer of the
group, which is to be composed of military
and civilian experts.
1t is regarded as significant that an
Army officer was chosen to head the ad-
visory group. Some of the more perplexing
problems facing the group relate to the
emphasis which should be put now and in
the future on weapons of the sea and air.
These questions are at the root of the con-
troversy which has developed between the
Navy and the Air Force over the value
of super carriers, the scope of naval par
ticipation in strategic bombing and the
advisability of maintaining a separate
naval air arm. The Army has been on
the sidelines in this inter-service feud and
hence General Hull is qualified to serve
as neutral appraiser. His special quail
fication for the critical task Is that he is
