An AImonoc Of Liberty
BY william o. Douglas

In 1913, the American Library Association
adopted the following Bill of Rights:
l. AS responsibility of library service, books
and other reading matter selected should be chosen
for values of interest information and enghtment of
all the people of the community. In no case should
any book be excluded because of the race or nation
atty, or the political or religious views of the writer
2. There should be the fullest practicable pro-
vision of material presenting all points of view con-
corning the problems and issues of our time inter-
national national and local. and books or other read
ing matter of sound factual authority should not be
prescribed or removed from library shelves because of
partisan or doctrinal disapproval.
B. Censorship of books urged or practiced by vol.
uneer arbters of morals political opinion or by Or
CARNATIONS that would establish coercve concept
OF Americanism, must be challenged by libraries in
maintenance of their responsibility to provide public
information and enlightment through the printed
word.
4. Libraries should enlist the cooperation of allied
groups in the fields of science of education and of
book publishing in resisting all abrdgment of the free
access to ideas and full freedom of expression that are
the tradition and heritage of Americans
). AS an institution of education for democratic
living, the library should welcome the use of its meet
ing for socially useful and cultural activities
and discussion of current public questions Such meet
ing places should be available equal terms to all
groups in the community regardless of the beliefs and
affiliations of their members

materials and media of communication used or col

Packhouse Fire
Destroys $4,000
Tobacco Crop

A fire destroyed some $1,000
worth Of flue tobacco in Willie
Simpson packhouse near Rice
Wednesday afternoon. Damage
to the building itself was esti-
mated at almost $1,000.
The blaze, which occurred in
the stripping room of the storage
facility some two miles north of
Rice on the Sayler's Creek road,
came during the height Of rain.
The exact cause of the blaze
was not determined although
Simpson had been working in the
building where stove fire was
being used to dry out some of
the leaf crop.
Five thousand pounds of leaf
were stored in the facility, and
only a couple hundred pounds
were saved. The Farmville Fire
Department managed to save the
roof and part Of the exterior, but
damage to the interior was ex-
tcnSive.
O. B. Blair said it was raining
real hard at the time. so hard
that a hole in the roof would
have come close to quenching
the blaze.

to carry a similar line of general
merchandise they now handle,
which includes groceries, cloth
ing. implements, garden equip

Gated SO we can serve the tour

said. They will be in the new
building not later than April /,
1862, since that is the date the
highway department will begin to
remove the present building.
The expansion and improve
ments along Route IS precipi-
tated the decision to build a new
store. Route Is will actually
move slightly to the east, but the
store location was needed to
make improvements to the inter
section of Route IS and State
Route 636.
The store is owned by j. l..

Of employee giving, on which
the Community Chest tradition
ally succeeds or fails because of
their great number. Lewis point
ed out: 1T is a basic fact that
employees can give fifty cents or
ola ripper month more readily and
easily than $l2 at one time"
One Call Promised
Under the proposed Chest plan,
campaign workers will present
the Chest appeal and complete
pledge cards during a conference
with employees at a time and
date suitable to the employer,
Lewis said.
This arrangement will be left
to employers, but Lewis pointed
out, I'VE will come in to your
place of business and want to
come. but only if you want us
to-" He also promised that work
ers will complete the appeal in
one call without further inter
ruptions to work.
Lewis also pointed out that en-
ployees under the proposed de-
duction plan may have their
pledge credited to their county
area if they live outside of town.
They also will be permitted to
specify the Chest agencies they
wish to aid if they choose.
The employers were told the
Chest will present its appeal to
employees along the line of "give
days pay the pledge way"
Lewis added that, if employees
consent to such pledging, there
is. no doubt that Chest will meet
its goal with room to spare.
Asked for Lists
Employers who wish to cooper
ate were asked to furnish the
Chest with a typed list of the
names and addresses of their
employees. This would make il
possible for workers to have
pledge cards ailable and
ready during the conference with
employees.
Campaign workers will contact
employers by phone this week
about such lists, Lewis pointed
out. The lists are desired by
Monday, he added.
