Making Good Progress
Favorable progress in the Hepp
ner Library association membership
drive is being made, and will be
brought to a conclusion Saturday,
according to Mrs. Clara Beamer,
chairman. Memberships and dona
tions received now amount to ap
proximately $150.
A phrase in the story relative to
the library, appearing in the gaz
ette Times, May 15, unintentionally
gave the Impression that adults to
borrow books, or make use of the
library, must purchase a member
ship card at a cost of one dollar.
This is not the case for the library
will be open to the public without
charge. Holding membership en
titles one to vote in the meetings
of the organization, and gives finan
cial support needed to the success
ful operation of the library. For
this reason it is urged that all who
can do so take out memberships,
for if more join It will mean a lar
ger number of books for all to read.
Painting of the ceilings and floors
and calciminlng of the walls in the
quarters In the Humphreys build
ing to be occupied by the library
will soon be completed. It Is ex
pected that the books now owned
by the library will be moved to the
new homo some time this week.
Persons who have books to donate
to the library are requested to noti
fy Mrs Lucy Rodgers, president, or
Kenneth Ackley, chairman of the
book committee.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Rowell and
Mrs. M. Rowell were visitors In the
