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.

In children's books it is often

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

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. Dates Girl, Stowe:
