By having the books brought in to this Army Branch Li­ brary, it also becomes possible to have the books carefully sorted and made up into well balanced col­ lections covering a wide range of reading interests. Camp Adair now ha.- it's two finq Service Club libraries operat­ ing and serving the hospital units as well as the day rooms.. But there are other camps and stations not having their own libraries and needing books badly-particularly those in remote areas which are served by Traveling Libraries. The Army Branch Library in Salem, which is under the direct supervis­ ion of Fort Douglas headquarters, receives the requests from these camps, fills the orders from the books given in the Victory Book Campaign and the wjiole procedure is handled through official army channels. People in localities adjacent to Camp Adair have been very gen­ erous in their gifts but they are i 1 urged to follow the army’s request not to continue to send their books directly to camp, but to turn them in to their local libraries for the Victory Book Campaign, so that the books will reach the men most needing them.' In this way, there is no duplication of material or effort, and all camps are supplied with books according to their needs. 9th Corps Librarian Explains Set-l'p For Collection of Reading .Material I I Mrs. Ruth K. Stratton. Librarian. B Oregon Branch. 9th Service Command Library At a recent conference of all pro­ fessional librarians of the 9th Serv­ ice Command, considerable im­ phasis was placed upon two par- ticular points in connection with library service to the army. First, on the necessity of having all donated reading material han­ dled by the Army Branch libraries instead of it being sent directly to the camps by the donors—this has become a serious detriment hi some areas. Second, on the regulation i-equiring all library service to the army to be accomplished through official army channels. Five Branch Libraries have been established by the 9th Service Command to regulate the flow of donated books and reading mater­ ial. In addition to this Oregon Branch, the others are located at Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seat­ tle, Salt Lake City, and Phoenix, Arizona. In view of the instructions giv­ en us at the conference and with the realization that Camp Adair is still receiving many book gifts from well-meaning groups and in­ dividuals in nearby communities, I suggest that an explanation of the requested procedure be brought to the attention of the general public through a release to the news­ papers from your office. In pre­ paring such a release, the following summary may be of help: People wishing to give books for the soldiers are asked by military authorities not to send their book- ! 1 directly to the army camps, but to take them to their local libraries during the present Victory Book May Move Touted 96th Campaign, The hooks are then turned over to the Oregon Branch Aces From Atop Stack of the 9th Service Command Li- brary, located in the State Li- Customarily, they tell, it's a bad brary Building in Salem, for dis- practice to make any predictions tribution to the service men sta- about the outcome of a basketball tioned in Oregon. game.

After a slow start which MW the first quarter score just 6 to 0 in their favor, the Spartans, led by a substitute guard named Larry West, scored 10 points while the awakened Toledo five pushed in 9. Score at half time was 16 to 9. lligh-scoring honors for the eve­ ning went to Larry West whose timely second quarter baskets kept the Spartans in the lead. His 10 points were followed by 8 apiece for Anderson and Toledo’s Crosno and Ashton.

Numbers alloted to contenders fol­ low: Still in first place in the Easley league were the 921st F. A. Bn., and the M. P. Platoon with no games lost. The 2nd Bn. of the 382nd Inf. presented a difficult problem as far as the standings, insofar as they are still hatting 1.000 but have only played one one game.
