IN ONE YEAR, A BIG
TRANSFORMATION

Today, it's still a single room in
the City Hall. but it's vastly differ
ent place than it was year ago. It's
different because the following
changes have been made:
First: much needed wedding job
was done. Through the years large
number of out-of-date, obsolete books
had collected in our library which
were taking up valuable shelf space.
We were so crowded, in fact, that we
on the board had been seriously con-
sidering spending a large portion of
the little money available to us on
additional shelves. After consulting
with Mrs. Longworth, however, we
were persuaded that the wedding"
job should have priority. She and
Mrs. Jacobs spent a full day going
through our books. The result was
that we had ample shelf space, and
the money that we'd intended to
spend for more was made available
for what we needed most-BOOKS.
The second step taken last year
was to have our old, inadequate light
ing system replaced by one recon-
mended to us by Montana Power en-
gineers. And then, to throw still
more light on the subject, we had
our shelves painted in a light, pastel
shade. At the same time we put up
some colorful prints, here and there,
and the end result of these simple |
remodeling efforts was a much more
inviting and usable interior for our
library.
The third step was to acquire a
large loan of books, primarily juve-
nile for we were especially weak in
that department, from the State Lii
brary Extension Commission to see
us through the summer months.
TO SECURE PUBLIC BACKING
AND INTEREST
The fourth step was to organize
Friends of the Library Group in Con-
rad. As you know, the Friends exist
n different communities throughout
he country in different capacities.
We were primarily concerned that
n Conrad they should act in public
citations capacity. There were around
organized church and
:ivic groups already functioning in
Conrad. We felt that in establishing '
contacts with them through Friend !
# the Library elected from each one,
We would be put in touch with large ;
ross section of the community. We I
sked that the Friends inform their {
'roups about books and services t
in tls,arprary and that they
atronize the Ary-and that was

about all. Added to this list of group
representatives were several indi-
viduals in Conrad whom we knew to
be especially interested in library
development program. A monthly let
ter has been sent out to all these
contacts in the past year, informing
them of improvements that were be-
ing made in library service, materials
available in the library, etc. AS a
public relations media, the Friends
have proved great success. A large
number of active people have been
kept currently aware of all the IL
brary has to offer, and that aware
ness has resulted in daily book
circulation at least ten times greater
than what it was year ago.
The position of chairman of the
Friends of the Library has been very
ably filled, during the past year, by
Mr.. John Lahr. Mr.. Lahr, our Con-
gresham Leroy Anderson's son-in-
law. has a very demanding farming
operation to perform in managing
the Anderson wheat and cattle ranch.
Even so, he's found the time to pro-
vide active and enthusiastic leader
ship for the newly organized Friends
group in Conrad. In January of this
year he was appointed by the county
commissioners to serve as their rep
resentative on our library board.
MUCH COOPERATION GIVEN
n
I might mention here, also under
the heading of public relations, that
we have had weekly column appear
ing in the local newspaper, the In
dependent Observer, ever since
Bertie's was eliminated. This one,
written by a wholly human and con-
scientious librarian, seems to have
produced the desired reader interest.
The news editor of the Observer,
Jerry Cavanagh, has co-operated
wholeheartedly and unstintingly in
contributing the power of the press
to our drive for better library service
in Conrad.
The fifth major step taken during
he past year was to present the city
council with a budget that would
provide substantial increase in
'unds available to run the library.
FOR years it had been operating on
IN annual budget of around $1,90O.OO
,r the equivalent of a one-mill city
AK levy. Largely as a result of the
lew interest inspired in the library
~ the Friends group, the city council
vas persuaded that an increase in
ity support would be justified, and
ur request for around three times
he previous amount was approved.
With additional funds at our dis
osal, we were able to take a sixth
step-that of keeping the
brary open longer hours. Instead of
pening at one o'clock in the after
DON the library was opened at twelve
DON. This made it possible for many
chool-age youngsters and working
eople to visit the library during the
oon hour. Evening hours were also
dded, and, by keeping the library
pen all day on Saturday, we were

A Capital Budget For
Federal Government?

| from those who think in terms of the
antiquated unified budget and there
| by consider public works expendi-
lures part of the deficit, rather than
investments. 1t is important to re-
member that just as you spend to
invest in your own business, or to
buy stocks and bonds, part of the
federal debt represents capital sum
invested in public works. In addition
to resource development, it should
be obvious now that the New Deal
expenditures for recovery, rehabilita-
tion, sustaining private enterprises
about to fail, and in granting aids to
the unemployed, were investments
rather than mere deficit spending.
WOULD GIVE CLEARER PICTURE
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
DR.. George Galloway, in his book,
planning for America, suggests:
eff the Treasury were to separate
capital expenditures for public works
and the like from its current operat-
ing expenditures for wages and sala-
ries, and so forth, and place the
former in capital budget, as Sweden
does, and if it were to place more
government functions under the ad-
ministration of public corporations
which have their own balance sheets,
then we would have much clearer
and reassuring picture of our true
fiscal condition and fears of. federal
bankruptcy would largely be dis
pelled".
The Budget Bureau has not indi-
Gated a willingness to make this
change, however. On page 947 of
the Budget for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1860, is the explanation: "a
capital budget as prepared by some
foreign governments and some state
and local governments usually pro-
vides separate financing for major
capital outlays. In the United States
federal budget, however, investments
items are treated in the same way as
for other purposes; both
types are included in arriving at the
budget surplus or deficit.

THE HUMAN MIND,
TODAY'S "WILDERNESS'

If the year were 1900, might
agree with them. In this year, 1859
Il heartily disagree. What they refuse
to admit is that the world has changed
so radically in sixty years that people
primarily concerned with making the
Montana wilderness more conven-
lent have become the anachronisms
The most frightening wilderness
in the world today lies in vast, un-
touched regions of the human mind.
The construction job that must have
top priority in every community on
the face of a shrunken earth is one
that will build human understanding
into a concentrated welter of human
relationships. I think we here in this
room are all bidding for that job.
No institution can better provide an
access to the knowledge necessary
for understanding than the public
No institution is worthier of
public support. Our enthusiasm for
good library service is not misguided,
but "out thar, in the settlements,
it's sometimes misjudged. That's why
it's so nice to be in here with all of
you today.
Fortunately, for the people of
Conrad. our mayor, Mr.. Bob Arnot,
shares our enthusiasm. A little over
a year ago, Bob cast a pitying look
on the hidden and humble little ex-
cuse for library that had been
trying to serve Conrad for twenty
years. He decided it was NOT sue
,eeding, and he appointed library
board to look into the matter. I'll
always be glad he recruited me, for
had several old, personal debts to
ibraries that had long gone unpaid. |
FOR reasons of their own, the other |
persons asked to serve on the board |
we're equally pleased to do so. AS
| result we started out with lots of |
but very little actual
'know-how". Our beginnings were
ather desperate.
In a vague sort of way we realized |
hat far more people should be made
ware that Conrad even had a Ii
rary. And so one night, after heavily
ndulging in garlic bread and green
MONS at my evening meal, dreamed
p the idea of Bertram O'Boygan,
he column-writing bookworm. This
1volved a major concession from
he local newspaper which agreed to
ublish, weekly, a column allegedly
-ritten by small but erudite worm,
having away in the library, who
raved public recognition and public
1pport for his field of operations.

Nehru Expldins
Sfond On ISrdeI

NEW DELHI (JTA) - The gov
ernment of India feels it can make
better contribution toward the
solution of Arab-Israeli conflicts
by Withholding diplomatic ex-
changes with Israel at this time,
Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru
declared here.
The prime minister declared:
"Our attitude in regard to Israel
has been explained quite fully to
people from Israel as well as to
others. You may say that it is not
a very logical attitude, possibly,
because we recognize Israel, of
course, long ago, but have not fol-
lowed up this recognition by ex-
changing diplomatic missions.
Recognition is a fact We did not
exchange missions chiefly be-
cause we felt that we could thus
play a better role in easing con-
flicts between Middle Eastern
countries and Israel"

CONSERVATIVE
JEWRY DELAYS
ZIONIST UNION

KIAMESEIA LAKE, N. Y. (JTA)
After a historic debate on the
ties between Juadism as reli-
gion and Zionism as an theology,
the United Synagogue of America,
central body of American Conser-
vative Jewry, postponed for two
years a decision on accepting
bid to join the World Zionist Or
ganization. The invitation was the
first to a religious group.
The decision will be made in
Jerusalem, where the United Syn
agogue will hold its next biennial
convention in 1861. The selection
of Jerusalem was one of the final
acts of the 1859 biennial convention
here and was made as a mark OF
solidarity with the state of Israel.
The convention instructed its eX-
ecutive council "to create oppor-
tunities for joint discussions" by
all its branches on whether the Con-
servative movement should join.
The executive council was at the
same time requested "to report
back to the next biennial conven-
ton"
The issue was put before the
convention by DR.. Nahum Gold
mann, president of the World Zion
ist Organization, and DR.. Morde-
cal M. Kaplan, leader of the Re-
constructionist movement, who
urged affiliation. The proposal was
opposed by DR.. Simon Greenberg,
vice chancellor of the Jewish The
ological Seminary of America.
