TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday. January 5, 1958 News About Books From the Library "Ring out the old, ring in the new, ring happy bells. . ." Our poetic license is hardly justified, after all; for it's the sound of hammer and saw that resounds within your public library, not that of bells. What's more, the build ing that goes on is not new construction but the renewing of something rather too old. In our enjoyment of the li brary's new wing we are likely to forget that the larger part of the building is actual ly almost half a century old. It has come to that age so familiar in automobiles when its parts need constant sur veillance and repair. Present ly under reconstruction is all the shelving in the east and west reading rooms, which has become insecure in its old age. We are sorry for the an noyance caused our readers by the noise and the confusion of having to remove the books from shelves to floor as the work progresses. We should like to borrow the signs of the division of highways to explain to you that construc tion is now going on for your future protection and peace of mind. No longer will you endure the shock of hearing an entire shelf-full of books slam to the floor or the embarrassment of having a shelf-full fall noisily at your feet when a single book was all you meant to withdraw. And we thank you for your patience! Entirely new, however, are the 61 titles listed below, add ed during the past two weeks. Donors of books during the period were Mrs Lucille Boe nig and Nevius M.

Young Survivor Of Wreck Ponders Life in Future Eureka, S.D. OP) A 16-year-old boy, who with a sis ter survived a traffic wreck that killed his parents and seven others, looked ud from j a hospital bed in pain and bewilderment Thursday and asked his grandfather, "What's to become of us?" The boy, Wilbert Beck, 16, Eureka, had been informed a short time before that his parents, three sisters and a brother were dead killed New Year's night in one of South Dakota's worst traffic crashes. Also killed in the grinding head-on collision were three teen-age boys in the second car. Doctors said a 10th vic tim of the wreck was Mrs. Beck's unborn bab'y which was to have arrived in March. The only other survivor was Wilbert's younger sister, Mary, 6. Both were hospital ized with fractured legs and the little girl also was suf fering from internal injur ies. Mary also was told of the tragedy late Thursday morn ing, but a physician said she was in such shock and pain that the information made little impression. "She doesn't realize the im pact of it," the doctor said. The wreck equalled ' the worst single car accident in South Dakota history. Nine persons also were killed in 1956 in a collision near Wall. Accident On Good Road Police said the crash oc curred on "one of the best stretches of highway in South Dakota" when the car carry ing the teen-agers apparently veered into the wrong lane of traffic and rammed the Beck car head on. A mass funeral service is scheduled for Monday in the Eureka City Auditorium for Mr. and Mrs. Walter Beck, 45 and 42 vears old: and their children, Harold, 18: Ruby, 11; Priscilla, 4; and Dons, 2.
