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. The newer titles
naturally circulate most fre
quently. "ebruary titles added are:

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.
