Friends of the Library Join To Form Club Library patrons in Salt Lake City have been offered brochures in recent weeks inviting them to join a new organization known as Friends of the Salt Lake City Public Library. The Friends group is composed of citizens who believe in the importance and its services to the public and who desire to promote its growth as a cultural and research center. It is the purpose of the new group to maintain an association of those interested in books and libraries and to focus attention on the services and needs of the library, especially the need for a new central library building. , Believing that the library represents a potential dynamic force in the community, the Friends plan to enroll members to encourage the high priority of a new central library in city planning. Individual memberships are invited at one dollar per year, with contributing and group memberships of five dollars or more per year. Youth memberships are also welcomed at fifty cents a year. Friends of the library groups have been organized successfully in other cities of the United States, notably in Seattle, Washington, and New Orleans, Louisiana, where large memberships have been instrumental in erection of handsome new libraries. Officers of the organization recently installed are: Mrs. Keith E. Montague, presit; dent; Dr. A. R. Mortensen, Mrs. James Ivers, Jr., E. Rawlings, treasBen secretary; urer. Board of directors are: Duane C. Hill, Mrs. Wendell H. Best, Mrs. M. Elman Snow, Ray E. Gilbert, Mrs. Sidney L. Cohen, Mrs. R. H. Wooley, Mrs Sears J. Evans, and Mrs. Theron S. Parmelee. members are Mr. Bob Thomas, head librarian for Salt Lake, and Mr. Gail Plummer, president of the Salt Lake City Library Board. Dale L. Larson By George Rogers Research Engineer Thor Research Center For Better Farm Living A reader who wants to enclose an area around his home for recreation and gardening has asked for plans for a distinctive fence, which also serves as a windbreak. Our plans suggested four fence designs and because they are both handsome and practical we believe other readers will be interested in them, too. A woven fence was one ol Twelve-foo- t those suggested. exterior temlengths of pered hardboard are bowed among strategically placed 4x4 posts to effect the woven appearance. Height of this fence is determined by the number of hard board panels used, but the most desirable height suggested is 5 feet 6 inches y4-in- ch Ex-offic- io Fund-Worl- generosity and untiring Christian charity the appeal which the Archbishops and Bishops of the United States are making to you for the Overseas Relief Fund for the World Refugee Year.

The Holy Father said, We commend to your handsome, yet practical fences. This size is achieved by hoi c izontally weaving five panels among the posts, placin.: the bottom panel two inche above the ground and adding th intervals other panels at The 4x4 posts protrude 2 inches above the top of the panels. Planting these 4x4s 2 feet into the earth presents the only labor problem, because any trimming required by the hardboard and posts can be accomplished quick ly with a portable electric saw The hardboard is fastened to the 4x4s with galvanized sid or galvanized box nails ing Another of the fence plans-whic- h appeals to persons is called the hanging Exterior perfor garden fence ated hardboard and exterior grooved tempered hardboard are used in the construction.

Thats fine with us; they were good games, and someone had to win. The point is, Russia won a game as American as the Indians. And they broadcast their triumph loudly and happily throughout the world. But here is the significance. Not that the Russians won an American game, but how. Here is how. Athletics is not fun and games in the Soviet. It is grim government business. Anyone who shows aptitude and physical qualifications for track, soccer, in other phases of rocketry and in certain scientific defense systems. The details of comparison we do not know. What we do know is the emphasis with which every Russian advance is boomed across the world as proof of the superiority of the Soviet good life. This way of life in the workers paradise almost-hys-teric- al is so productive, so forward-movin- g, we are told flatly, that Russia expects not only to exceed our growth but even economically to bury us! basketball, hockey, skating or for practically any other sport, receives special treatment behind the Iron Curtain. Jobwise, he is given preferred work. He undergoes intensive training. He gets special grooming and coaching, enabling him to rise to what we would call professional heights. Yet technically he maintains his amateur standing. When the individual, or the team, "wins, the victory is exploited around the world with all the arrogant boastfulness attending a major military conquest. The same boastful attitude prevails in the far more important area of scientific con- tribution. There is no doubt that Sput-nic- k was a great achievement. But Sputnicks success prompted an outburst of Russian political braggadocio so swaggering as to cloud the fine accomplishment itself. It may be true that the Russians are ahead of U3 in space probing. It is possible that we lead them Such an attitude on the part of the Russians makes a comparison with our own way of life inevitable. Let us see how the Soviets get their results. For one important thing, they go to school six days a week. Their government creates, as we said, special living conditions for those who excel in any field where the results can be a loudly-toote- d political boast. The whole stress is on mass production of talent. never Its not our way. was. Part of our opens up opportunity i the individual but does not ram it down his throat. There is more chance in our method, but the past proves it has served us well. We feel we do not need governmental assistance, such as the Soviet provides, to guar- antee team or personal suc- cesses. The danger in this practice is that it can lead to complacency. So far, our haphazard individual system has worked well; therefore we feel it will continue. Perhaps we are too optimistic. Remember, this attitude of ours has a terrible historical parallel. Complacency was tho curse that so frequently softened older civilizations. Egypt of the great Pharaohs, Greece, the Roman Empire, Spain of the Phillips, France of the Emall were complacent. pire And all paid the catastrophic price for their smugness. Can we do anything to change complacency to competence ? Yes. First, we can be aware of it. Then, everywhere, lets use our individual initiative while we still have it! We can be active in politics, in mediin all those cine, in business so areas easily soimportant cialized by government. By retaining our duties and functions as men of democracy, we retain our indisomething greater vidual identity! And, in turn, we help our nation to keep the strong shape of its heritage. In America, ours is still the choice. So we must not surrender our individual initiative to the government or to any other agency. The rights and duties of personal initiative and personal responsibility still rest where they always did. Right on the individual. On YOU. And only your own competence can keep them there. |
