EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, March II, 1956 News About Books From the Library By MISS HELEN WEBSTER Medford Librarian Of the 337 books added to the Medford Public library during the month of February, 119 were gifts. Book donors this month included Mrs. Paul Elgin, Mrs. Lelend Mentzer, Mrs. Florence Lance, John Jaynes, Glenn Sto ver, J. Duckett, American Le gion Post No. 129, and the Vet erans' Domiciliary library at Camp white. Of the 319 volumes added to the adult department, 229 were new titles, listed be low. Reservations Advised Library patrons interested in reading a selection of the libra ry's new titles are advised to place reservations for them. Cir culation of these books is so brisk that only one or two hun dred of the 4,400 new books add ed during the past eight months are likely to be found upon the shelves at any one time. Library circulation in Febru ary, 1956, in the adult depart ment showed a 26 per cent in crease over circulation for the iame period in February, 1955. As many as 1,000 books are sometimes checked out in a sin gle day from the adult and jun ior departments of the' library together, which means that ten to twelve thousand books are in circulation at any given time, from the headquarters library alone. From Branches Add to these the number checked out from the library's 11 county branches, and one can readily understand why patrons cannot always find the book they are seeking waiting on li brary shelves.

Office Space at Airport Leased For Frosl Warning Office space at the Medford airport has been leased by the Rogue River Valley Traffic as socaition to house the valley frost warning service for the coming fruit season. Airport Manager Ralph Pierce said the association will refinish an office for use by the federal meteorologist Roy Simpson, who will arrive this week from Po mona, Calii. Shelby Tuttle of the association is in charge of renovation. The warning service was pio neered in this area in 1917 by Floyd Young, federal meterolo gist and weather authority, and has proved a valuable aid in protecting orchards from the danger of killing frosts by alert ing growers, an association spokesman said. No Major Changes No major changes in the ser vice are anticipated this year, according to County Horticul tural Agent C. B. Cordy, who said the key station will remain in the city park. Growers apply a temperature differential for their localities. The overall program will again include preliminary ther-1 mometer checking for growers : beginning Thursday, March 15, and the nightly frost warning 1 broadcasts on local radio and television stations beginning about March 22-25. Simpson will remain in the county until April 15, when he will be replaced by Meteorolo gist Earl Rogers, Pomona, who will make the forecasts for the remainder of the season. The Medford weather bureau cooperates in the forecast work. a gas range cooks mmmMmmmmmmmMmm . a gas range cooks a gas range cooks Get a gas range, for fast cool clean cooking.
