"Our
Growing Edge"
Fifteen Minutes A pay
MRS. MARTHA GLOTFELTY

Many people have never had an
opportunity TO get a college cduca-
ton yet they have become edu-
Gated i'm the best sense of the word
by reading Many of our fine lead
ers in the past have done Just that
including Lincoln
Some one has figured it out in
minutes and hours how many books
can be read by deycting Is min
utes of every day to reading The
average reader can read 800 words
a minute; in fifteen minutes he can
read $500 words. or 1880 words a
week or I5l2,OOO words a year.
Since the average book is only 10
600 words long an average reader
by reading only fifteen minutes a
day can read twenty books a year.
There is no expenditure of time
that can pay such high and rare
dividends as intelligent reading.
In addition to making you a more
interesting and broader person it
can bring more pleasure than al
most any other experience.
Books are the magic carpet by
which we can travel to other lands,
and get to know That country as
well as though you had actually
visited and seen it A good book can
give us a new insight Of the think
ing and customs of people of other
lands.
The wonders of bird life. the
stars. trees animals-all the eX-
citing mysteries of Gods universe
are unravelled for our pleasure
You can read about the mystery of
Elizabethan England or the in
credible courage of our pioneer
American explorers if YOU take
time to delve into a fascinating his
tory book You can learn the eX-
citing new discoveries in farming
foods. or atomic energy: or you
can view the great art treasures of
civilization if you read a book.
All these riches are ours for the
little time and energy spent in
reading. Nearly every community
in our country has access to some
kind of library service Our public
libraries are willing and anxious to
serve US No greater service can
be done our country than to in
crease the level of popular educa-
ton through making fine books
easily available.
Most European countries have
more libraries and do more read
ing than we do In England, Ger
many and the Scandinavian coun-
tries about seven times as many
persons read books as we do. Radio
and TV have had an influence on
our reading habits.
! am sure if we try. we can re-
capture the JOY of reading, and
make it truly enriching and
growing experience.

Transit Service
Cut Protested

Opposition to a recent Public
Utilities Commission decision to
curtail service on the Sixteenth
street and Mt. Pleasant transit
lines was voiced last night by
the Kalorama Citizens Associa-
ton.
1t was urged that no cut in
service be made pending further
study and a public hearing.
The citizens group deplored
the action of the District Com
missioners in asking for only a
$22 million Federal payment
next fiscal year. The group felt
a payment of Is to 40 per cent
of the total budget was fairer.
In other business. the Board
of Education was requested to
reconsider it's order to the Po-
lice Boys Club. now meeting in
the Brookland School, Tenth
and Monroe streets NE, to in
tegrate or vacate. The group
asked that a public hearing be
held and that the club be allowed
to continue meeting at the
school until such time.
President G.. M. Koockogey
conducted the meeting at the
Adams School, Nineteenth street
opposite California street NV.

School.
The group, which went on rec
ord in favor of the library at its
October meeting. repeated its
stand, pointing out that Janney,
Alice Deal Junior High and
Woodrow Wilson High Schools
would all be served by the
library.
Taking the position that sit is
not possible to have too many
public libraries" the association
said the granting of the unused
land to the library need not set
q precedent.

Cues On Courtine
Offered To Youth

Dating is one of the most nat
ural things in our lives, Polly Han
st, Oakland, Maryland homemaker
and former editor of Up In Pollys
Room, told 900 Ohio high school
students Friday.
The thing that makes dating
hard for us is that it is a new ex-
perience, Mrs. Hanst told the
Farm and Home Week audience
Boys are afraid the girls will say
no and girls are afraid the boy
won't ask them. The girls job is
20 forget herself and help the boy
feel at ease.
Mrs. Hanst defined dating as a
period in young peoples lives when
they go to movies, dances and ball
games together. Courtship is the
period when young people go with
that special someone and get to
know them well. Courtship takes
place before and after engage
ment, and if the couple is lucky,
it will carry on after marriage.
Young people can receive assis-
tance and guidance from Nom and
Dad. Nom and Dad have a right
10 know where their children are
going and to set times for them to
be in. Young people will be Civ
en- more freedom in dating if they
talk things over with Nom and
Dad and show responsibility. Dat
ing has not changed much, and
parents are interested in their
chil6ren'S dating experiences.
Ms. Hanst closed with, Man
age we'll your dating and you'll
manage we'll your marriage. Love
is growing and never stops. Each
period can be prettier than the one
before and it's one of the biggest
things that will ever happen in
life"
