Hecorder and active In all civic,
social and fraternal affairs of that
community, together with Airs.
Wright and little daughter, leavo
that place tomorrow for an exten
sive auto trip through California
and other Southern states, with
their native state of Arkansas as
their ultimate objective.
The announcement made this
week that Air. Wright has dispos
ed of his newspaper interests at
Klgin and was so soon to sever all
relations with that community
came us a generous surprise not
only to his friends and business as
sociates there but to alt acquaint
ances and readers of tho paper in
the county.- The business transac
tion was made some time ago, the
change taking effect on April first.
Accordingly, Fred Hefton, of
Salem in the current Issue of the
Recorder made his Introductory
statement to his readers and Mr.
Wright wild his farewell. This
week's paper was gotten out by
the new owner with the assistance
of Mr. Wright.
Air. Sefton who joins the news
paper forces of the county, hails
from Salem whore for three years
he has been enrolling clerk of the
senate. He has had years of news
paper experience, as did his father
before him. and as do his sons,
who are following.' lu different lo
calities, lu their father's footsteps
as he continues .the newspuper
game. He Is moving his family
to Klgin and they will occupy the
quarters which Mr. Wright and
family are vacating this week.
During his three years of resi
dence in Klgin, Air. Wright bus
made friends on all sides. Jlo has
been Identified with all worth
while community projects, and has'
made himself so generally useful
to the community that ho will bo
greatly missed. "I feel somewhat
lost." said Mr. Wright yesterday,
"Not. at all (he way 1 expected to
feel when I could throw down Urn
work here." Mr. Wright stated
that his plans called for this trip
on which he will visit with his kin- ,
folk In the south. Including his
brother who is connected with tho
printing department of the Univer
sity of Texas, and with his wife's
people in southern Arkansas after
whli-h he expects to look for a new
locution, possibly again in the west.

COUNTY LIBRARY IS
URGED; BOOK FUNDS
ARE APPORTIONED
County superintendent of schools
K. A. Hay to has recently completed
tho Ubrury apportionment for tho
schools' of Union county and the
list of the schools together with
tho number of children enrolled as
pupils and the amount each school
Is to receive for books for their
respective libraries, Is given here
with. According to law, tho county
court of each county Is obliged to
Includo In tho annual budget an
amount equal to 10 cents for each
school pupil, that amount boing
the minimum. Many counties levy
a larger sum, but in this county
the 10 cent figure has been adopted
for a number of years. Mr. Sayre
In distributing tho amount among
tho schools has always made It a
practice to not fall below $1 In the
amount to bo given to any ono
school, even though the 10 cents
per capita, would not reach this
amount. '
To each school in the county has
been mailed a blank on which Is
to bo written tho names of the
books for 'which tho money Is to
ho expended. Theso lists must be
returned to tho superintendent's
office in time for him to send the
completed list on to tho Oregon
State Library by tho first of May.
All books for school libraries are
purchased" through tho Oregon
Stato Library as. In this way, bene
fits of a wholesale price are se
cured. Tho books are usually re
ceived by the last of July or first !
of August and arc then parceled j
out to tho schools by tho opening!
of tho fall term,
Various school officials and pat- j
Irons point out that a perusal of i
the list as given below should bo!
conclusive proof ofjho advlsabll- j
ity of Hie establishment of a county j
school library, a project which has
offon been - proposed but which its
promoters Wvo never been able to
carry through successfully, so far.
It will bo seen that tho larger
schools benefit tho most while tho
smaller rural schools wcro books
and equipment are now meager (
get a pitifully small amount to lm
used for library purposes. j
Another Item, pointed out-by Mr.
May re. and others, is tho fact that
In the smaller schools where the
books might bo used Just as ad
vaulageously and w hero . only a
book or two cun bo purchased with
the allotment for one year, there
is little or no incentive, to maintain
a school library. Again, ho sug
gests, take. a..baoks4icji as the .Ufa
of Abraham Lincoln. "This ta and
of the first to bo purchased and Is
found in most schools which still
have any of tho books purchased
by these funds. Should there bo a
county library, Hiero would be a
minimum of dnpllcallon. cons' '
fluently a much larger selection of
books, x while as It Is, no rural
school has a wide line. j
Supporters of the oounty library
plan emphasl7.othe fact, that If the
total sum, w hich Is divided up Into
bits as shown below, were turned
inlo a fund for a county library,
which could bo drawn upon by all
I ho schools of the county, It would ,
bo a comparallvely short time un
til a library adequate for the needs,
of the' children of the entire coun-.
ty, could be uccumuluted.
