man, made his first public ap
pearance in Springfield Wednes

city's Rotary Club on the topic,
"Retirement and Re-evaluation."
The 56-ycar-old former Salem
real estate man drew from his
own experience by telling 'how
he entered college at the age of
48 after retiring from business.
He said retirement bored him
.and made him feel "like a mis
fit." It was at Willamette Univer
' sity that Lockman had his first
experience in "ublic speaking.
Anyone, he to;- the Rotarians,
can become adept at speaking if
he concentrates upon having
something to say.
Library Use
Said 'Normal'
Use of the Eugene Public Li
brary during December, 1954,
was considered "normal" by Li
brarian Clara Nasholm in her
report released Wednesday.
Chore were 11,056 books loaned

This compares with 10,867 taken
from the library during the same
month of 1953.
The report shows that library
patrons borrowed 67 pictures and
226 records during December,
1954. The total use of records.

the same month in the previous
year.
Miss Nasholm also reported
that 203 new books were added to
library shelves during Decem
ber, 1954. Of this total, 119 were
for adults and 84 were for children.
Lockman said he is coming to
Springfield "with a lot of enthu
slasm." He said the city has a
"great potential" for social and
economic expansion and has "ac
complished miracles in a single
decade."
Lockman will take over his
job as chamber manager Satur
day. He succeeds Oliver Larson,
who resigned last summer to
take a position with the Tacoma,
