i 9 i I I i E TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE News About Books From the Library A total of 394 volumes were added to the Medford Public li brary during the first two weeks of February. These included 70 new titles. The difference between the number of new volumes and the number of new titles mentioned in each of the library's biweek ly reports arouses curiosity in some readers. One reason for this is the large number of gift books received 96 this month , which are counted, of course, as new volumes; however, since rjhey are often duplicate copies of titles already owned by the library, they are not listed as new titles. Duplicates are very helpful in building up the collections of Jackson county branch agencies, and sometimes in providing cir culating copies of a title as well ? a copy to be retained in the library for reference use. In many other cases new vol umes are added to replace the volumes which have been lost or destroyed, or simply worn out in use; neither are these count ed as new titles. In a library Ohich for many years had no funds for purchase of new books an exceptionally large portion of the bonk budget must be used for replacements of standard works which continue in de mand long beyond the physical life of their first editions. For example, the library has just purchased its 35th copy of Jack London's "Call of the Wild." This title is still in frequent de mand long after the first 30 cop ies were worn out. Duplicates and multiple cop ies are purchased of the most popular new titles in the library for circulation among the branch agencies of the county, since the readers of Butte Falls and Jack sonville, for instance, are quite as eager to read the latest best seller as are patrons who visit the Medford public library.

ASSOC ATION "Where You Arj Paid To Save" annum Sunday. February 24. 19S7 Congress May Open Question of Work Week for Employees BY A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent, Washington The Civil Serv ice commission wants more time to study the implications of re- d u c i n g the work week for govern ment employ ees below the s t a ndard 40 hour week. As a result, opening nego t i ations hers between a email irrniin nf A. Robt. Smith " federal workers and one govern ment agency have momentarily steered away from the idea of cutting the work week. But Con gress, which established the 40 hour week, is expected to re open the question later this ses sion. The commission believes its own study of the matter may take another several months. It is canvassing states, cities and counties aroung the country to determine how much of a trend has developed to shorten the working week. Since this is be ing done by mail, it is slow be ing completed. Letter Sent This week the commission sent a letter to Public Printer Raymond Blattenberger, head of the U.S. Government printing Office, just as he was starting wage and hour talks with the photoengravers who are em ployed there and wanted a 35 hour week. The letter stated: "The commission feels it is impractical to consider a cHange in the basic work week on a fed eral service-wide basis. Any one agency considering such a change should take into account conditions throughout the fed eral service as well as any spec ial factors which apply only to its situation. "Factual information, is need ed to serve as a basis for such an important personnel manage ment change. Therefore, we can not recommend a change in the work week until the results of the government-wide study are available." i Blattenberger has offered his workers a small increase in stead.
