NATIONAL BOOK
WEEK OBSERVED
AT BIG DISPLAY
Sheridan Scores of students from
the high school and crowds of chil
dren from the grades have, by their
keen interest in the display made by
the local library board In celebration
of National Book week, caused much
favorable comment toward the eff
orts made by the board.
The display has been in the win
dow of Smith's Cash store all week,
and was most tastefully and Inter
estingly arranged. Above the dis
play a flag In a standard stood, and
several attractive posters at either
aide of the colors called attention to
the fact that a week of importance
was being celebrated.
A wide variety of material, of In
terest to every taste in reading, was
displayed, showing that the city li
brary can satisfy young and old and
meet the demands of most diversi
fied tastes. As a result an especially
large run was made at the library
Saturday afternoon.
Among the books displayed were
some from the state library at Sal
em, but the greater number were
from the newer books of the local
library. Among the large number
arranged in the display were The
White Cocattoo by M. G. Eberhardt:
Calico Bush by Rachel Field; Baby
Bear by Hamilton Williamson; Cin
der Fox by Huber; The Dog Book
by Diana Thome and Albert Payson
Terhune and The Flying Carpet.
The library board has spared no
effort to bring before the commun
ity an event of national Importance
and Is to be commended for this,
as well as for their untiring work
In behalf of the city library. Mrs.
George Payne Is president, and oth
er board members are Mrs. Robert
L. Eskrldge, Mrs. Rollin I. Merri-
field, Miss Sadie Palmer and Mrs.
Guy Seth. Mrs. Dora Shortridge Is
librarian. The library Is open only
on Saturday afternoons and Tues
day evenings. It is supported by the
city and is located on the second
floor of the city hall.
COMMITTEE ENDS
LIFE BY SUICIDE
The historic committee on com
mittees of the city council ended
its career by suicide lost night. It
was a resolution Introduced by the
committee itself two weeks ago and
adopted Inst night that put an end
to the committee, and from now on
the appointment of all standing
committees will be in the hands of
the mayor himself.
This will make the procedure of
committee appointments as It al
ways was until about the middle of
the Livesley administration when a
wing of the council that opposed
many of the policies of the then
mayor girded up Its loins and took
tile committee-appointing power
away from the executive and put it
into the hands of a committee on
committees.
No opposition was registered to
abolition of the committee.

Wright reported that there would
be 20,000 men In Oregon put to work

half dollars have been used to
finance the farmers. He pointed out
that milk companies in McMinnvllle
as well as in other towns are spend

a pest for years to residents on
seen by the city council. This
said he would like to have the Wil
lamette slough added to the list.
Smaller projects which are to be
included in the city's relief employ
ment plans, to be financed by a
federal contribution that the city
will shortly ask for and hopes to
get, are of various nature, covering
the whole gamut of skilled and un
skilled labor, from clipping twigs off
bushes to the finer arts of the car
penter's trade.
Probably the most important,
aside from the slough project, is
building a new floor for the central
fire station in the city hall. Alder
man Olson said plans for the im
provement were being prepared. He
had estimates that the cost of ma
terial would be around $1400 and
the labor cost $1200 or $1400. Skill
ed labor, by federal ruling, is to be
paid around $1.20 an hour and un
skilled 60 cents an hour. This Im
provement will Include city iail re
pairs and possibly a firo drill tower.
Improvements on North Commer
cial, Winter and Summer streets,
I" e clearing out of the beds of Shel-
ton ditch, Pringle creek, Oxford
ditch, and North and South Mill
creek, and various park Improve
ments were listed. Relative to the
parks Alderman Walter Puhrer,
chairman of the committee on
parks, moved that the committee
be empowered to negotiate with the
civil works administrator and the
authority was granted.
A resolution to apply to the civil
works administrator for a portion
of federal funds was adopted.

KOIN REFUSED
HIGHER POWE
Washington, Nov. 21 (JP) A rec
ommendation for denial of the ap
plication of radio station KOrN
of Portland to increase its day
time operating power from 1,000
to 2,500 watts, was made to the
federal radio commission today by
Examiner Ralph L. Walker.
Walker said that while granting
the application would permt the
station to Increase its day-time
service area without objectionable
"it would appear if additional fa
cilities are to be assigned Oregon,
they should not be placed in Port
land." The examiner observed that
Portland, with less than one-third
the population of the state, is
now assigned eight-tenths of the
state's broadcasting facilities.
"While some of the stations lo
cated in Portland Include within
their good service areas a substan
tial number of people In addition
to those residing In the city," Wal
ker said, "they do not serve eight
tenths of the population of the
state."
Examiner Walker said Oregon
and the fifth zone, of which it is
a part, both are over their radio
facility quotas.
