is in the hospital at Heppner.

the placing of the Indians on reser
vations later. Mrs. Elmer Griffith
read a paper prepared by Mrs. Inez
Freeland, an absent member of the
hostess committee, and Mrs. Griffith
and Mrs. Clyde Denny each gave
interesting facts concerning both
past and present day tribes and res
ervations to which they were allot
ted. Mrs. Bert Mason as chairman

The lone Public library which
was started last year under the
sponsorship of the Women's Topic
club has shown a good healthy
growth in the addition of books and
also in the interest taken in it by the
general public. It was established on
January 6, 1936, and was at first
given help by the Umatilla library
which loaned it several hundred vol
umes with which to start. It has
received as gifts and loans 446 books
and during 1936 it purchased 26. The
state library makes it a loan of 250
volumes each six months.
During the year 1936 a total of 3207
volumes were loaned to 185 borrow
ers. This number of borrowers in
cludes 84 rural people. It is thought
this number of people who use the
library would be somewhat larger
if all who used the books had cards,
since several members of one fam
ily often use one card.
The library was moved into per
manent quarters in the store of Bert
Mason during the summer of 1936.
Mr. Mason donated the space used
and the Topic club used a part of
the funds raised by silver teas to
partition off comfortable quarters
and put in an adequate number of
shelves. The library is open two
afternoons, Tuesday and Friday, each
week from two until five. Two mem
bers of the club give their time to
caring for the library on these days.
A library committee of five mem
bers elected by the club have charge
of library affairs. They are Mrs.
Bert Mason, chairman; Mrs. Werner
Rietmann, sec-treas.; Mrs. Carl F.
Feldman, Mrs. Walter Corley and
Mrs. Laxton McMurray.
