Let's Look at
Friends of the
Library Assn.
By HARRIETTE CUSHM4N

of Friends OF the Library, someone
asked, s'Is that another one of those
'do-gooder' organizations" I decided
then and there it was time to tell folks
just what the Friends of the Library
Association is and how it operates.
It's no sign of ignorance if you don't
know. Until year ago I was plumb
ignorant myself When the president
of the Montana Library Association
asked me, why aren't you Friend
of the Library?" I sort of bristled and
answered that was a friend of all
libraries, especially the librarians.
'sNo, 1 meen,'' she continued, why
don't you pay your dollar and be a
member of the Friends of the Library
Association" Still very much in the
dark, I forked over my dollar. But I
didn't stay uniformed long.
Nationwide
1t is nationwide organization start
ed at Harvard University in 1925. Al
ready we have many isolated members
in this state and one or two active local
groups, especially the Hill County As
ISOLATION which is really doing yeo-
manly job.
The FOL is not an administrative
or political organization 1t is just what
the name indicates, a friend It's main
purpose is to interpret the library to
the community and the community to
the library. Too many people have no
idea what their local libraries can do
for them.
For example, if you we're sick abed.
couldn't even hold a book in your
hands, would you know that because
you were living in Hill County, you
could borrow protector which would
throw the image of the book. page by
page onto the ceiling, so that you could
lie prone and enjoy the book? The Hill
County FOL. has made it possible for
their library to offer such a service.
Many Services
That is only a small part of what
they have been able to accomplish for
their community. They have purchased
two three-speed portable record players
which are constantly used by schools,
clubs and other organizations. They
have purchased a slide protector with
screen which is loanable. Four book
memorials have been started and 10
more added to. Further, they cooperate
with the State Library Commission so
that all the county schools, no matter
how isolated. may have a small up to
date selection of books in their own
school rooms.
1t is our goal to expand what Hill
County is doing to all counties of the
state Further, we hope that the meth
DDS of organization used in Hill County
can be applied to all the other counties
and Representatives from each county
organization will make up the state or
ganization. FILL County did not go out
and try to set up a brand new organ
ization. Honestly we have more exist
ing organizations than we can efficient
Iy handle. They have project leaders
from each Home Demonstration Club,
each civic organization, P.TA., wom-
ans clubs, church organizations,
A.A.UW., etc
We firmly believe that something can
be accomplished with the cooperation

Sheriff Warns Of
Che k-Passers

The Madison County Sheriff's
office reports tn It "paper-hang-
ers" are operating in London
again. one local merchant getting
$3.50 worth in the past week. In
case you're vague as to what pa
per-hangers" are, it's the term
used for worthless check writers.
The check passed in the last
week was done by man posing
as a member of the Air Force,
with an identification card and
uniform.
Merchants make this criminal
activity easy to get away with,
when a simple method of stopping
it is available to everybody at no
cost. When cashing a check for a
stranger who has identified HIM
self, merchants could ask them to
simply ink their finger on the lit
tie stamp pad each store has and
put their fingerprint on the back
of the check. Presto! A positive
means of identification, and a
strong deterrent to would-be
Wrongdoer.

S192 Tax Dollars
Saved By Board

The Madison County Board of
Elections at the April meeting
adopted a resolution providing for
the use of only four precinct Off
cials at the primary May 3, in Lon
don.
The Revised Code of Ohio, sec
ton 3501.23 provides that if a pri-
mary is being held for one political
party only, the Board of Elections
may provide that the precinct Of
ficials shall be two judges and two
clerks, instead of the usua, six Of
ficials. Only a republican primary
will be held in the city of London.
In each of London's eight pre-
cincts, the presiding judges and
clerks were retained. In each pre-
cinct one Republican and one
Democrat judge were dropped.
The law also provides that when
four officials are used, two must
be Democrat and two must be Re-
publican.
Taxpayers will be saved $192 by
the use of four instead of six Of
ficialS.
Notices to serve are being pre-
pared in the boards office and
Mrs. Gertrude Gist, clerk, said
they would be mailed the last of

receive a notice and are unable to
serve are required by law to noti-
fy the Board of Elections immedi-
