L, "l94o, some 6,474 books and
purchases made last year in
creased this total to 1874. OF
this number, 5,592 are classified
for adult reading and 1882 are
for juvenile readers.
Of the 1925 new books pur-
chased last year, 962 adult books
were added with the remainder
being for youngsters under six
teen years of age.
The younger set again proved
that although they can receive
as much enjoyment and know
ledge as adults by reading books
from the local library, they are
about five times as hard on them
as their grown-up counterparts.
Almost 800 children's books were
withdrawn. from circulation and
destroyed last year while adults
wore out 40.
Juvenile readers out-read their
parents in every department in
1948, according to the circulation
report. In the fiction department,
juvenile readers withdrew 5,548
books while only 14,509 adult
read books of this nature.
Books by the great authors
classified under the general head
of Literature definitely show
more appeal for the younger set.
The youngster read some 3,697
books which included poetry,
plays and classic works, while
adults showed little interest in
the heavy reading and withdrew
only 1872 books.
History received its largest
field of attention from juvenile
readers with a juvenile circula-
ton of 1,470, while adults were
reading only AIS books on
world and American history.
New subscribers at the local
library totalled 511 last year
with 345 of these being adults.
The magazine circulation during
l948 was 1887.

a booster StatlOn aIN4ou1lll1leI-
field.
Each flat-bed freight car
will contain sixteen 26-inch pipe
lines, forty feet long. There will
be approximately 200 car ship
ments to Belle Valley with the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad company
in charge. This company is rep
resented by J. A. Park, of Cam
bridge.
It has been estimated that there
will be approximately 20 miles
of the new Big Inch pipeline
running through this county and
actual laying of the same will
probably begin in the early
spring. Practically all the neces-
sary rights-of-Way have been al
ready secured and now on file at
the office of Benny J. Fowler.
Nick Cenci and son, of Colum-
bus is the firm in charge of un-
loading the pipeline at Belle
Valley. Their equipment includes
several trucks with hoists.
Supervisor Biddle said that
the pipes would be laid in two
rows, the entire length of the
Harry Davis field and would be
piled five high.
Noble county is one of the q
communities from Texas through
to the eastern coast where the
transmission corporation has To-
Gated one of its booster stations.
1t is located at Summerfield.
When Texas Eastern began to
operate the Big Inch and the
Little Inch pipelines not quite
two years ago, less than 140 mil
lion cubic feet of gas could be
transported daily. There was no
power to boost the gas along.
Now, with q big compressor
stations, including the one at
Summerfield, the lines can carry
half a billion feet of natural gas
daily.
At the Summerfield booster
station the machines that in
crease the pressure are new type
centrifugal compressors never
before used for long distance
gas transmission. They are driv-
en- by electric motors ranging at
different stations from 1850 to
1000 horsepower.
Texas Eastern is rapidly be-
coming a part of Noble county
and as the weeks progress,
through their employees, they
will become an important factor
in the business gain Of the COM
! lmunity.

Farley, fund chairman.
Solicitations will be made from

chairman for Beaver township
and Batesville. Floyd Davis will
handle the drive in Buffalo
township and Frank Reed is the

Caldwell Will
install Parking
Meters In April
Action Taken
At Meeting OF
Local Council

Caldwell, one of the last
county seats in Ohio still offer
ing free parking, will install
parking meters here April Is.
The village council at their
regular monthly meeting Tues
day night. voted to accept bids
for approximately IT'S meters to
be installed in the business area.
Bids for the meters will be ac-
cepted until TOO p. m, April S.
The council plans to open all
bids at their next regular meet
ing and award the contract.
The council specified that bids
will be accepted on ly on the
automatic type meter and no
manually operated machines will
be considered. This type meter
is now in operation in Byesville,
McConnelsville, Woodsfield,
Cambridge, GAINESVILLE and other
neighboring cities. Marietta, aft
er first installing the manually
operated sets, discontinued them
and have now installed the auto
matte type.
S. J. Monohan, of GAINESVILLE,
attended the council meeting as
representative of the Dual
Parking Meter Co., Canton. In
presenting his product to the
village fathers, he stated that
Caldwell was we'll laid out for
parking meters and should take
in more revenue from their op-
GRAFTON than any neighboring
villages of comparable size.
No cash outlay, bonus or other
monetary exchange with the
company will be necessary. The
company submitting the success
full bid will install the meters on
nine months trial basis with
about half of the revenue taken
in, or $3.50 per meter, per month,
going to the company as payment
for the sets.
At the end of the trial period
the council has the right to re-
move the meters but they are
free to retain their half of the
revenue taken in during the per-
iod. The company cannot collect
their payments from any other
source other than the revenue
taken through the meters. Met
ers cost approximately $65.0O
each.
The only expense to Caldwell
will be that of painting the yell
low lines. The parking meter
system will probably be install
ed and turned over to the viii
lage for operation about the
middle of April.
Mr.. Morris, fire fighting
equipment salesman of Cam
bridge, met the council to in
quire as to their interest in new
chemical fire fighting equipment
Council President L. E. Potts
and Fire Chief Glen McFerren
will accompany Mr.. Morris to
the firms Dayton plant for
demonstration after March Is.
The new type equipment would
benefit the department in fight
ing gasoline and out of town
fires.

''The only way to stop this
is to have a minimum wage
below which no one can go
or can be hurt" Cong. Secrest
told members Of the Kiwanis
club at Marietta, Tuesday, when
he was their principal speaker
at a luncheon engagement in the
Betsy Mills CLUB.
SccrCst also spoke briefly
Tuesday evening at the annual
meeting of the Marietta Chamber
of Commerce held in that city.
He has since returned to Wash
ington.
Industries Pay More
The new rs cent minimum will
not hurt industries in the 18th
Ohio distrist, according to Sc
crest, who said that in checking
Cambridge and GAINESVILLE indus
tries he has found that most
workers now are above the IS
cent level. q
He added, however, that the
smaller industries should not be
included under the new bill
where organization and payroll
are small.
In other matters before Con-
gresS, Secrest said he favored
with one minor exception the de-
ficlency appropriation bill al
ready passed. He favored the bill
to reorganize the executive
branch of the government and
termed the work of the Hoover
commission which recommended
it the greatest achievement OF
HooVer's career"
Opposes Trade Bill
Although he was not present
when the reciprocal trade agree
ment bill came before the House
recently, Secrest said that he
would have opposed it because
he felt it would hurt some indus
tries in his district.
In summation of his ideas on
legislation, sSecrest said that go
percent of the time he considered
what is best for his district
rather than what is best for the
country as whole. He implied
that the reciprocal trade agree
ment act came under this head
ing.
The congressman said that
much of the delay in passing
legislation in the 81st congress is
caused by the committees. De
spite the fact that the 40 commit
tees of the House were reorgan-
lied into 19, there still is much
confusion. he said.
Too Many Sub b-Committees
The reorganization was de-
signed to cut down on committees
now we have the same confu-
sion by having too many sub
committees" he said.
When asked about the veterans
pension bill now before the
House. Secrest said he thought it
would pass in some form. He
added that he favored a plan to
pay veterans $50 a month at the
age Of so years.
