Mrs. Helen B. Harmonson, and

1t was these directors who in
1910 decided that the best inter-
est of the Association and the
cnmmunity would be served by
converting into a Free Public Lii
brary for the Smyrna Special
School District, thereby securing
state financial aid, and library
commission of five members was
appointed by Judge Charles L.
Terry.
The library now has SCI regis
tered readers, and recently ac-
quired a selection of books in a
special department for young
readers.
A disastrous fire which destroy
ed the second and third floors of
Town Hall occurred on Christmas
night, Dec. 25, 194S. The books
and furniture in the library on the
first floor suffered damage by
water. They were removed on
Dec. 27 to the parish house of st.
Peters Church and private homes.
The library continued to function
as well as possible in the Denney
Office on Commerce Street and it
was not until October, 1949, that
it was moved back to the reno
waited room in Town Hall.
Mrs. Louise Denney Clifton, who
has served as librarian since 1910
is the daughter of the late Robert
Denney, who was a director for
ten years.
The present officers of the COM
mission are Mrs. Helen B. Har-
monson, president; ]. Wells Far
les, vice president; Henry c..
Webb, treasurer; Richard c. Price;
Louise Denney Clifton, librarian
and recording secretary. Another
commissioner will be named to
take the place of Miss Elizabeth
Thornley,, resigned.
The vision of the small group
of men one hundred years ago
has borne fruit. Where there is
no vision the people perish" has
a valid meaning as we look back
to the vision of the men in 1858
who made possible the riches for
this generation, who in turn guard
their great heritage and hope to
pass it on to future generations.
The public is cordially invited
to visit the library on Friday, Jan.
81, from $50 to 8 pm.

watchword in those days, when
the request to use the room as

Ball was refused.
The library was not a free Ii
brary in any sense and the use
of its books was rigidly restricted
to subscribers. AS early as 1902
there was recorded a discussion
of proposals that "the privately
formed and controlled Library AS

deferred.

Disturbed Child Troubles Mother
BY DR.. PETER J. sTElNcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: / have
a girl going on Is years Of
age and she seems to be an
emotionally disturbed child.
She's forever getting into
trouble in school for her con-
slant talking. Her report card
is nothing to be proud Of. She
certainly seems to go out Of
her way to antagonize people:
for example, her father and
her teacher. She is forever
wiggling. She eats constantly.
Up until a year ago she wet
the bed. She still does not
sleep the night through with
out waking UP once or twice.
On the other hand. / have
a younger daughter Of IL who
doesn't cause me a bit Of
worry. She has a sense Of
humor worth q million. But
the older girl doesn't appear
To be a happy. well-adjusted
child. She also is very con-
scious Of the boys, which wor-
ries me very much. I shall ex-
plain why.
My own home life as a
child was bad. My father died
and left my mother to raise
eight children. I had a broth
er who became an alcoholic.
