Public Library Topic at Chamber Roundtable Lunch She told of the city's contract with the county to furnish li brary facilities. About two tenths of a mill support is re ceived from the county for this, she added. She noted the" library had in creased about 50 per cent in circulation, 500 per cent in ref erence services, 600 per cent in cataloging new .books and about a 66 per cent in number of borrowers during the past two years. About as many books are add ed to the library every two months at the present as it took during an entire year in the past, she told the group. The number of staff members is the same as it was 10 years ago. She said the library had re ceived a budget allotment for an assistant librarian but Oregon's salary scale is about $1,000 be low that of neighboring states. With the added trained librar ian, more time could be devot ed to reference work which is now lacking, she said. Miss Webster said the use of the library has changed from recreational reading require ments to readings on how to help people get ahead in their jobs and how to help in every day life. She told about the num ber of books available in the library which deal with busin ess.

Well, that's all right as far as it goes, but it seems to me the breakdown does go deeper than that. Actually, this season is a study of the grim look (west erns) versus the grin look (mu sicals). Excursion in Calcium Monday night, I watched the Guy Mitchell show on ABC-TV and I must say that it's an al most frenzied excursion in cal cium. Mitchell smiles and his girl singer, Delores Hawkins, smiles. The girl who does the live commercials has a blinding grin. George Fenneman, who confines himself to an air of amaible wariness on the Grou cho Marx show, does Mitchell's filmed commercials with all of his enamel going. But I just wanted to say that the whole business was carried a bit too far Monday night on the Mitchell show. They had this guest, Jimmy Bach, who danced on the piano and smiled while he was engaged in this curious chore. Chuck Berry, an other guest, smiled too. And then they brought this St. Bernard dog on stage and there he was, the fool, standing there with a silly smirk on his face, running from one floppy ear to the other. And honest, you mu sical shows, it's just got to stop somewhere or I'm going to en roll you all for courses with Ed Sullivan. CBS-TV's "Studio One" wound up the second half of Arthur Bailey's "No Deadly Medicine" Monday night, an affecting and effective drama of hospital life. There is no need to go into a long review,, just let it be said that Lee Cobb and a fine sup porting cast turned in jobs so impressive that they made this one of the dramatic high points of the season. And a special bow to director Sidney Lumet, a gen tleman of sublime talent. Hope Dims for Two Crescent City Boys Crescent City Calif. (IP) Searchers feared today that two boys missing since Thursday in a swamp area south of Crescent City may have drowned in a mill- pond. The searchers all but aband oned hope that Timmy ! Turner, 6, son of a motel operator, and Patrick Surgeon, 7, were still alive. The boys were last seen Thursday heading in the direc tion of the swamp area. Deputies kept moving logs about in the several millponds in the swamp in the hope of finding their bodies. SALVATION ARMY MAN DIES Kearney, N.J. (1PI Col. Har old R.
