Children's Book Week Observance Set at Library The Jackson County library this week joins with libraries all over the country in the 40th birthday of Chlidren's Book Week. Again the slogan, "Explore with Books" highlights dis plays, posters, articles, pro grams, and book fairs focus ing attention on the import ance of good books for chil dren. The idea of Children's Book Week originated with the late Franklin K. Math iews, chief librarian of the Boy. Scouts of America, who soon- found an enthusiastic supporter in Frederic Melch er, president of R. R. Bowker Publishing company. Togeth er they enlisted the help of outstanding librarians and booksellers, and in 1919 the first Children's Book Week was held. Jessie Willcox Smith, famous illustrator of children's books, designed the first poster in that year. Participate in Observance . The Medford Public library, with all branches of the Jackson County library, is participating in the observ ance by inviting boys and girls in the area to" visit the children's room and be intro duced to the fun of reading good books. School classes and junior organizations are particular ly welcome to schedule li brary tours during this week, according to Mrs. Synthia Mc Kay and Miss Rosemary Stevenson, who will be in charge of arrangements. Highlights of the event will be a week-long display in the children's room of new books for children of all ages, presided over by the Good Book Fairy; and, since this is also National Art Week, a two-day showing of the work of local artists, presented by the Association of American University Women. Library Closed The library staff regrets the necessity of closing the li brary during Children's Book Week for the election day holiday; however, displays will be continued into the following week through Nov. 10, to make up for this. MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Sunday, Novombor 2. ItSI 7 The junior department will be open on Monday nights, Nov. 3 and 10, instead of on Tuesday nights, Nov. 4 and 11, which are holidays. Branch libraries too will have special displays and colorful posters with bright bookmarks to be given each child who visits the library during Children's Book Week. Several thousand Micmae Indians, descendants of the aboriginal red . men who watched John Cabot approach Cape North in 1497, still live in Nova Scotia. The Seminole .

I'M, I Ui , u GIVE TEACHERS & SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS FULL CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS! z si PURPOSE: 13 X YES will amend Oregon constitution to permit employees or members of a school board or employees of the JJoard of Higher Education to retain their legislative seats when resuming their regular ppsitions. , WHY NECESSARY: School employees and school board members may currently serve as legislators. Educators take leaves of absence from their teaching or other positions, drawing no salary from such position while absent. BUT, on resuming their regular, fbU time positions, they must resign as legislators. This reduces their effectiveness. 11 Pd. BOTH CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR FULLY SUPPORT THIS INITIATIVE!
