Incid en tly , I ’m the hero in the
play, w hich is as it should be.
So if anybody brings old vege
ta b le s to throw , nlease rem em ber
to toss them at th e villian. I
w on’t have a chance to w rite a
very long colum n this week as
I have a lot of w ork to do try in g
to m em orize m y four lines.
IS A LIBRARY NECESSARY?
H ere a re q u estio n s of th e week.
Is a public lib rary
n ecessary for Br»M)kings-Harbor and so u th ern C u rry C o u n ty ?
Ask y o u rse lf do I ev e r use a lib ra ry ?
Do y o u r children
need a lib ra ry ?
Does a lib rary c o n stitu te an y th in g to th e
public w e lfa re ?
On th e an sw e rs to those questions rest th e ex istan ce
of a lib rary in B rookings, because if we a re to co n tin u e to
have a public lib ra ry concerted action by everyone m ust be
fo rth co m in g im m ediately.
T he building m ust be in a c tu a l use as a lib ra ry by
F e b ru a ry 1955, o r th e pending conditional deed to th e C ity
of B rookings will be cancelled by the U. S. G overnm ent.
A g roup of y o u r neighbors has a beau tifu l lib ra ry
building well un d erw ay upon a very d esira b le piece of p ro p erty
one block east of th e C ath o lic C hurch. They a re as fa r
along as th ey can go, on w hat they had to do w ith. T hey have
w orked hard, and co n trib u te d m ightily in tim e and m oney. A
h e a rty push by everyone now could save w hat they have accom
plished and secure for S o u th e rn C u rry C ounty w hat every a rea
needs to fulfill a good com m unity life.
T he lib rary boaiil feels its accom plishm ent w a rra n ts
calling upon th e citizen ry to fig u re out w hat each can do, look
up a board m em ber, and “ lay it on the line” N O W .
All av a ila b le cash has been sp en t for m a te ria ls so
m o re m oney is needed, also for w a te r and sew er service
Money g ifts a re d ed u ctib le from incom e tax re tu rn s and th e
boat'd tre a s u re r will issue re ceip ts for sam e. Labor, skilled
o r unskilled, m en and wom en, children for picking up tra s h ;
fill m a te ria l, and a couple of h o u rs w ork w ith a bulldozer;
sp ra y painting, o u tsid e a re all needed.
Few fam ilies, the board feels, ca n 't afford an an n u al
association m em bership at $2.50. B oard m em bers c a n ’t b e
ex p ected to go about ringing doorbells, so i t ’s up to YOU,
if you w ant a library.

WHAT
IT S
«
I ’m flying high T h u rsd ay and
F rid ay night. T h at is to say, I ’m
in th e cast of th e play of th at
nam e th a t th e Lion’s club is
sponsoring here.
1 don't know
ex actly how I got into it either,
because I ’ve never had any actin g
exjierience even in high school,
nor have I ever harbored any
sec ret am bitions for the pro fes
sion. In fact I ’m th e type th at
gets stag e fright, and will likely
collapse on th e stage.

, S h am efaced ly I now recall those
tim es th is su m m er when I com-
; p lain ed ab out th e coolness of
O regon days. I have learned my
lesson. In th e fu tu re I shall be
co n ten t.
In sp ite of th e heat. I find the
c o u n try in trig u in g . The vastness
of space u n d istu rb e d by hill or
m o u n tain ; th e stre a m s that do
not seem to flow at all as they
ooz*' slow ly th ro u g h th eir low-
b anked ch an n els; th e farms, each
a m ile sq u are, w ith th eir barns
and houses d eco rated w ith light
ning rods, all add up to a picture
of a foreign land.
T he people a re friendly In
fact. I d etec t evidence of the fact
th a t it w as in th is a re a that many
of those who se ttle d Oregon had
th e ir origin. T his w as borne out
by th e fact th a t som e w ith whom
I have ta lk e d find nothing in my
m a n n e r of speech th a t would set
m e off from those Hoosiers who
stay ed a t hom e.
I am flying hom e again to
m orrow’ n ig h t fully am azed over
th e fact th a t ad v ances in modern
tra n s p o rta tio n m ade it possible
for m e to spend a weekend in
Indiana an d to be back on the
job M onday m orning.
JN D IA N A P O L 1S I suppose th at
everyone who has been long
d ep arted from th e s ta te of his
b irth often dream s of eventually-
re tu rn in g to re c a p tu re some of
fh e glam orous m em ories w hich
a re his.
A fte r fo rty y ears of absence,
such hones becam e re a litie s for
m e w hen I w as sum m oned to a
m eeting in In d ian a this week.
T h an k s to the m iracles of m od
ern a ir tra n sp o rta tio n , I left P o rt
land last night sh o rtly a fte r d ark
and a rriv ed here sh o rtly a fte r
sun-up. F o rty y ea rs ago I m ade
th e trip in four days and th ree
nights.
My principal disillusionm ent
cam e when my plane landed in
C hicago around 5 a. m. W hile
w aitin g in th e te rm in a l for my
flight to this city, I suddenly
broke out perspiring. Im m ediately
I called to m ind all of th e possible
diseases th a t I m ight have con
tra c te d which m ight display such
a sym pton. A casu al re m a rk by a
passerby relativ e to th e fact th at
thp te m p e ra tu re w as 80 degrees
set m e stra ig h t as to th is p he
nom enon so new to me.
I am still perspiring, and th e I
sun is only a few h o urs born.
