Hearty Response
Knowledge of what the women in
neighboring countries were doing was
brought to this country by Mrs. Mack
upon her return from several weeks
of study In the east last summer.
8he discovered that community work
era In New York state were putting
forth a big effort to send delegates,
and It was her earnest desire tbat
Oregon should be numbered among
the atates represented at the trien
nial conference. Forty-four atates
were represented at the last confer
ence, and Oregon waa not Included.
So far the idea has met with a
hearty response locally, and those In
charge are confident of the contin
ued aupport and cooperation of coun
ty organizations and individuals as
well. The conference will be held In
May and June, and advance program
plans Include a week of meetings In
London, visits to technical Institu
tions, Journeys to places of historic
Interest, and tours to other countries
U the demand Is sufficient. The 1939
conference theme will be "The Use of
Natural Resouroea in the Country
Home." and each national delegation
will have an exhibit of articles made
from native materlala by homemak-
ers. English women have offered to
entertain In their homes aa many
delegates aa possible.

FOR 45 MILLION
WASHINGTON (UP) Although 77
percent of all books read In the
United States ln the course of a
year come from public, school, or
rental libraries. 43,000,000 Americans
are without any type of library serv
ice, according to Carleton B. Joeckel
of the University of Chicago.
Joeckel found that the rural sec
lion of the country suffers most
heavily from lack of access to book
facilities, since of the 4S.000.000
Americans deprived of Ubararles, 40,
000,000 are classified as engaged In
agricultural pursuits. - This consti
tutes three quarters of the farming
population of the United States.
"The book resources of this country
are at least as unevenly distributed
as its economic resources," writes
Joekel. In support of his statement
he points to the fact that the en
tire population of Massachusetts has
access to public libraries, while the
number of similarly privileged people
In West Virginia is only 13 percent
of the total population.

thousands of dollars a year" today for

five times as much electricity for your.
money.
The administration criticized pri

rates because "merely passing along
savings from reouced generating costs
will mean little to the avemge con
