Library Features Country Of Mexico Laws Governing Swimming Pools Chicago OPI The Ameri can Municipal association said that swimming pools, once a symbol of luxury, are so com mon today that many cities have passed laws to prevent children from falling into them.

Saudi Arabia To Curb Jordan Aid Amman, Jordan (IP) Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Faisal has informed Jordan his gov ernment cannot continue its annual $15,400,000 dollar sub sidy to Jordan, authoritative sources said today. The subsidy was set up in the spring of 1956 when Brit ain cut off its $30 million annual aid to Jordan after King Hussein ousted British Maj. Gen. John Glubb as com mander of the Arab Legion. In addition to dropping the subsidy, Saudi Arabaia was expected to withdraw the 5,000 to 7,000 troops now sta tioned in Jordan. The gap between the Saudi aid and the money formerly paid by Britain was largely made up last year by U. S. economic aid.

Available Only at Johnston & Stewart Main & Central Medford A small exhibit of handi craft articles from Mexico has been arranged at the Medford Public Library, headquarters of the Jackson County Li brary, together with a selec tion of books on the arts, the antiquities, the history, the customs, and the people of our neighboring nation, said Head Librarian Helen Webster. - Among the articles display ed are two posters made by children of the village," Ajijic, and sold for them in their pub lic library. The proceeds are used to purchase additional art supplies for the youngsters and to help support the li brary. These, like the other articles on ' exhibit, were brought from Mexico by Miss Webster upon her return from a recent vacation on Mexico's west coast. They are displayed as an observance of Pan American Day, April 14. More than half a million Americans visit Mexico each year, she said. Judging from the demand at the Jackson county library for books on the south-of-the-border coun try, this community contrib utes its share of tourists. Books and magazine articles in the library provide back ground reading on many as pects of Mexico.
