1 MAIL TRIBUNE, Mrifori, OrajM, Tut4ar, Janaarr 20, 19S9 Every-Day and Recommended nj nua& mc&u Washington Give children a few "Sunday-go-to-meeting books as well as the every day kind. Good books can become as much a part ol their daily lives as the blue Jeans they wear around the That's the personal view of George Smith, Chief of the T3 inline Tifcriciin ef 4h T.I- brary of Congress. During an interview en how to care for books, he was ' asked by the National Associ- TT S!Mi.n tnm far one should so in demend- raz mat cnuaren respect meir books. "You can overdo it by mak ing a child treat his book so carefully he will not enjoy . it," he said. "If he is free to live with a book, it can be a real companion to him, like hi toys." However, he cautioned that this does not mean outright abuse should be encouraged. ! Generally, however. Smith tAiti4MH Mir rt Ana the use of books by children irn to seven years of aee. However, a child of seven or older, he said, might be : encouraged to love and care ; for good books by being giv- Jen one or two of what he ; called the "Sunday-go-to- meeting" kind - books that the children would take care of as much as their most treas ured possessions. These could - be "long-range" books that in itlaliy father or mother might have to read to the children. In discussing the care of books, Smith said that their "Achilles heel" is the June- tion of the binding and the cover. This joint is stiff when a person buys a book, he said, and restraint should be used In opening the volume. Mew Book Caze In opening a new book, he advised laying it down on its spine. He would open coven one at a time, pressing gently in and down. Then, holding the pages upright, he would take about one-eighth of an Inch of the pages and press them down, gently running a hand along . the . inner edge and working both sides to the center. In putting books on shelves, "Smith said, they should be placed reasonably close to gether to provide support for each other. A leaning book will get out " of shape. He warns against jamming books tightly so that "the top of the spine" is damaged when it is pulled out. . Sunlight or other strong light fades and ages books by making them brittle, Smith continued. Ideally, books should be kept in tempera tures of about 70 degrees and 50 degrees relative humidity. Avoid extremes in tempera ture. Tor this reason, attics usually are not the best place in which to store books. "Books like the same sort -of thing people do and they like to live with people . . . A reasonable degree of use is the best way to preserve a book-it keeps it flexible," Smith said. He. termed bookmarks con venient if they are thin and light but pencils or other comparatively heavy articles put a strain on a book. In VFW Auxiliary .

The reason: Women's desire to pretty-up for the men in lei sure hours, television, saving of wear and tear on daytime clothes, and an increase in home entertaining.

Mrs. Murray Gardiner was elected president of the group to replace Mrs. Frank Bash, who has resigned. Mrs. Gar diner has been serving as vice-chairman of the Jackson County Republican central committee. In beginning his review of Governor Hatfield's inaugural address, Frank Van Dyke, Medford attorney, declared 'It is the best of all such in augural addresses I have heard" and added that it had more specific suggestions for efficiency and reform "stated bluntly and f orthrightly" than any governor had made for many years. The attorney said one of the new governor's most impor tant suggestions was that a convention be called soon to revise Oregon's constitution. This is a most controversial matter, Mr. Van Dyke said, and one which has been thought needed for a long time but "no one has had the courage to actually propose it officially." The Governor put the stamp of approval on the merit system for selection of state: employees. Mr. Van Dyke quoted the governor as saying that he believes in come and other present taxes will increase sufficiently to bear the cost s of operating state government and also the cost of new buildings needed at colleges and other institu tions. The attorney disgressed at this point to say he thought the governor was too optimis tic in this belief, and said "we have to do something about the tax structure of this state if our economy is to expand.' Economy Noted Reviewing statements in the address . about economy in government, Mr. Van Dyke stated that Governor Hatfield recommended abolishment of some of the state's commis sions and bureaus, and con solidation of others. "Commis sions have grown like Topsy," said Mr. Van Dyke, adding that this part of the gover nor's program will probably evoke protests , from "irate citizens." The proposals in clude one to combine the state, engineer's office with the water resources board, changes in the Oregon Board of Forestry, a proposal to put inheritance taxes under the supervision of the Oregon Tax commission , instead of the club, Nevita chapter 93, OES, home of Mrs.Hensley Holt, 3295 Forrest st., Medford. 1 p.m.-Phoenix HEC, home of Mrs. S.

In this way you avoid becom ing the typical "pincurler housewife in an old wrap per," says Carol Morris, home management specialist at Michigan State University. Select clothes in becoming colors and in easy-to-care-for fabrics. Look for styles that give freedom of movement but are not so loose as to catch on things."

The speaker pointed out that Governor Hatfield is a political scientist and because of his wide knowledge of the theory of government, be lieves Oregon government can be improved by doing away with or combining about 20 or 25 agencies. The address contained a passage on civil service-the governor hopes to encourage more young people to enter government as a profession. He also recommended anoth er impartial survey of educa tion in the state in order to meet changing conditions and here Mr. Van Dyke pointed out that since the state pro vides a large share of school funds, the state must set some standards. The study would include one on the present distribution formula for state school funds, he said, and the governor also recommended appointment rather than elec tion of a state superintendent of schools, increasing the Oregon Board of Higher Edu cation from 9 to 12 members, and the Oregon Board of Ed ucation from 7 to 9 persons. OTI Approved Governor - Hatfield also wants Oregon Technical Insti tute at Klamath Falls contin ued, believes rural school dis trict laws need revision, and also believes elementary and secondary school system plants should be fully util ized. ' Mr. Van Dyke reported that the governor's address gave thought to the importance of youth, said he wants the state's adoption laws strength ened and believes in the the ory of adoptions for needy children rather than the fos ter home plan now widely in use in Oregon. The governor proposed a plan whereby citizens over 65 might be relieved of some of the tax load under certain circumstances, and advocates a change in auto insurance laws Under judicial reform, Gov ernor Hatfield believes that a state . judicial commission should be set up under the so called Missouri plan, and ad vocates appointment of chief justice on a permanent rather than revolving basis. He believes the . district court's jurisdiction should be broadened-this would in ef fect do away with some of the power of the justices of the peace-and wants all juve- FREEZER Choose from Chests and Uprights -All Sizes!

Asked nile cases handled by jud'"ial courts rather than adminis trative courts.. Governor Hatfield advanced ideas dealing with the har vesting of the state's re sources, and changes for the board of agriculture, advo cates repeal of the state's anti picketing laws and would seek a better relationship with labor, the attorney re ported. Along this line, the governor also advocates changes in the unemployment compensation law and be lieves there is too much re striction in seeking and find ing jobs for the unemployed. Concerning state institu tions. Governor Hatfield would improve the out-patient program for mental institu tions as a means to prevent increasing the size of the present ones. On the highway system problem, the speaker report ed that the new governor had said either an increase in gas oline taxes must be made or Oregon must forego the fed eral government's matching funds. The address advocated changes in campaign and elec tion laws, reforms to bring closer cooperation between city, county and state govern ment, and the governor said he approved a pay increase for legislators. Mr. Van Dyke expressed the opinion here that Governor Hatfield basic ally believes that the bica meral legislative system may prove too expensive, forcing states into the unicameral sys tem. : The speaker reviewed the governor's "novel plan" for succession and retirement of governors - he believes that the secretary of state should be next in line rather than the president of the senate. He would also set up a three man board which would rule on the ability of a governor to serve m event of a physi cal or mental disability. Mr. Van Dyke closed by saying that "we have here a potentially great governor" and added that citizens should give him their support on the changes which they approve. During the business session the women discussed future plans, and discussed the com ing annual Lincoln day ban quet. Mrs. Gates asked the members to give thought to the matter of affiliating the club with the state and na tional Republican . Women's federation.
