not vote in the dark; be inform
ed." "Nothing can take the place
of books," the speaker said, and
added that books are both a res
ervoir and a fountain of infor
mation and ideas. "Books make
available to all citizens the
widest diversity of thought and
expression," Miss Webster said,
and added that the power of
democracy is strengthened by
the freedom we have to choose
from among those expressions.
Books increase understanding,
and free men from prejudices,
Miss Webster declared.

bill is now before ' congress
which would make it possible
for rural areas to begin library
services.' Medford spends only
73 cents per capita per year on
its library services, the speaker
said, and added that this year
there is ?. request for this to be
