at least doubled if this area is
to receive the library service
it deserves."
Allen also praised Miss E.
Faye Woolsey and Miss Helen
E. Webster, the two librarians
with whom ne had been as
sociated, for their "sense of

Miss Webster is a fine woman,
a first-rate librarian, and a
hard worker, sometimes al
most to the point of exhaus
tion." "My admiration for them
both is boundless. And my
affection and respect for those
who have served on the board
with me is high."

Remind Businesses
Of Exchange Rate
With the tourist season in
full swing, businessmen are
reminded that the Canadian
dollar is worth $1.03 of Ameri
can money now.. The Jackson
County Chamber of Com
merce pointed out that it is
good business and hospitality
to give the visiting Canadians
the benefit of the three cents
on their dollar.
A recent ; Oregon Motor
Court association bulletin
noted that the Portland Cham
ber of Commerce has received
a number of complaints from
tourists charging that Canadi
an currency is not accepting
at the current rate of exchange
in Oregon cities. (
It is suggested by the as
sociation and the local Cham
ber that periodic checks with
a bank be made to determine
current exchange rates, and
that businessmen then abide
by the rates ' when dealing
with the visitors.

highly unethical," Austin told
a reporter.
