BY Allie Tardy

I noted in an Informative
talk made by Miss Georgia
Mcintyre, Holmes County
Librarian of Durant, that she
expressed a hope that some.
time in the future the Holmes
County Library system might
be able to add a Bookmobile
to the stationary Library units
located in various towns and
communities throughout the
county.
Next to newspapers, Libra
Ties are dearer to my heart
than most any other public
service, for I think that in our
Libraries, lies much of our
hope for the future as to edu-
cation, training, enlightment
and aWareness. I had the OPP
p%Ortunity and pleasure of Serv-
ing as Librarian in Attala
County for a little over a
year before we moved to Hol-
mes and the greatest know
ledge one can gain in this field
is the knowledge of what a
vast opportunity Of service
exists in the Library system.
Nothing can be more crafty
ing than being Of some small
degree of help to an indivi-
dual in search of knowledge
whether the search be
conducted in a Peter Rabbit
book or in the field of atomic
energy.
But to get back to the
beginning which is the service
provided by the B~ookmobile,
Attala County is fortunate
enough to have this service,
capably provided, so | was
able to learn a good bit about
what one can mean to a COM
munity.
The B~ookmobile, a library
on wheels, takes the service
of the stationary units to the
rural parts Of the county in
which, by reason of transpor-
tation or other difficulties,
it is hard for the people to
get to the nearest library. 1t
travels winter and summer
and in all kinds of weather
for it has regular scheduled
stops, some at stores, some
at schools, during the school
term, and some at individual
homes and one can al
ways be assured that the pat
rons will be waiting. There
is an appreciation apparent
among the bookmobile users
that you do not find in patrons
of the city libraries for
the bookmobile readers are
those who most likely would
not have access to the things
they wish to read without

low trees and bushes land,
sadly to say, sometimes rob-
bed of their eggs. They lay
4 : 6 eggs of pale blue color,
speckled with brown, which

Please let these lovely birds

Rat Tales
BY Johnny Tardy

We went on a fishing trip
yesterday and caught about
eight Dream. We went to my
grandfather's lake in Carroll
County. We were out in the
boat and we saw a great big
hunk of frog eggs. 1t was
huge, about ten feet wide. We
tried to pull the hunk on the
bank and it was too heavy.
| told some colored people it
was a lake monster and they
were scared to touch it.
We have a cat named
"Cat." He acts like a tiger
sometimes but he will re-
trieve things. He retrieves
good. When we lived in Kos
ciusko he used to wake me up
with a cigarette paper in his
mouth. 1t is fun to watch him.
Cat is a Siamese cat. We
have a back porch that we
keep Cat on but he tore UP
the screen and l broke the
window. The window has a
hole in the glass and Cat
comes through the hole. Enos,
the carpenter, fixed the screen
and Annie orr maid. nailed
some cardboard over the
window but the cat busted
the cardboard loose.
| went to Mildred Barrett's
party last week. Mildred gave
tout favors and they were Sui
livan pins. She had a Sullivan
record. We had cokes to drink
and potato chips and chOcO-
late cookies and wedding
cookies. We had a good time.
We in my whole family are
for Sullivan. Nubbin and Cat
and Scamp are for Sullivan,
too, / hope.
I went to Butch Peppers
birthday party last Wednes-
day night. He was nine years
cid. We played baseball. We
had cokes and cake and roast
ed wieners and marshmal-
lows. We had potato chips,
too. Butch got two model
cars and one airplane and a
card game named Snap. He
got a dart board game with
sharp pointed darts and he
got two chemistry sets and
a lot more things. We had a
good time at the party. We
played cast the flag.
I'll be back.

the hope of preventing the
