News About Books From the Library More than one-third of the books added to the Jackson County library in a year are books written and purchased expressly for children. Al though the titles are not usu ally listed in this column, they are considered of equal importance with the library's books for older readers, and they are chosen with equal care. "One is not a child for very long," someone has said; "and if a child's first reading is not strong, rich, and varied enough to stimulate his imag ination, then he may never enter the fascinating world that is there for him to ex plore. If what is real and alive in books becomes ob scured by, or even confused in their minds with what is mediocre and dull, many chil dren will miss altogether the discovery that reading is for delight. "Just as the best books stimulate the child's imagina pins by Master Kathleen Sco vell. Mothers-representing each of the Granges present were escorted to the Chaplain's sta tion and there presented with Mothers day corsages while Nell Ramsay and her daugh ter, Marybeth, as her accom panist, sang "One Heart to Love Me" by Jeanne Alden Joy of Ashland.

Gil lette, Bellview; Ethel Hocker smith, Phoenix; Emma Con ger, Central Point; Myrtle Cartlon, Upper Rogue, Mabel Wertz, Eagle Point; Willie McLean, Gold Hill; Kizzie Ed mundsen, Butte Falls; Elea nor Mankin, Roxy Ann; and M a b y 1 Buchanan, Griffin Creek. Following the presentation, a quintet of Upper Applegate Grange members including Stella Off enbacher, Dana Gearhart and Gladys Wil liams and Bert Harr and Cur tis Gearhart sang "My Moth er's Bible" with Christine Harr as accompanist. In response to a special re quest, Caroline Harding of Upper Rogue Grange related incidents from the recent Grange-sponsored tour of Ha waii in which she partici pated. - 3 - A humorous skit, "Cards and Gossip," was presented by five Upper Applegate members Barbara Larson, Dilbreth Dunshee, Stella Of fenbacher, Glen Saltmarsh, and Marie Louise Nordwick. As a centennial feature, Christine Harr read a news paper clipping published in Versailles, Ky., in the year 1849, announcing sale of per sonal effects and household goods by a man who stated he was leaving to establish residence in Oregon Terri tory. Included in the detailed list of items to be sold were his six Negro slaves; two men, two women, and two boys, all of whom, it was stipulated, must be purchased by one in dividual since their owner re fused to have them separated. The program concluded with a piano solo by Marybeth Ramsey who played Mozart's "Tell Me a Story Mama," and for an encore, Rathgeber's "Allegretto." County Deputy Roberts commended Upper Applegate Grange on its seating drill and the quality of its floor work in general. Recalling the first meeting of Upper Applegate Grange which he attended in 1936 as Jackson County Pomona Mas ter, C. L. Hockersmith of Phoenix said he felt a great Improvement had been made since those days. At that time the Grange wag holding its sessions in the old Beaver Creek schoolhouse.

Major Responsibility Even though school librar ies now exist in all Medford schools and in some of the rural schools of Jackson coun ty, service to children is still a major responsibility of the public library.
