Readers 'Discover'
CPs New Library
By VIOLA COOK
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Cental Point Reading has
become a favorite pasitime in
Central Point. With the open
ing of the new library July 1,
many people discovered for
the first time they have a very
good branch library and are
beginning to enjoy its facili
ties. The number of books
chected out has jumped from
788 in July of 1959 to 2,194
for the same month this year.
Children have borrowed 1,299
books.
New registrations are due
both U people who have dis
covered the existence of the
local library for the first time
and to patrons who have not
used a library for some time
and find their cards have ex
pired. Many patrons have
used the Medford library be
fore but are now using the
local library "since they have
seen the volume and variety
of books available to them.
New registrations for the
month of July were 207, in
cluding 150 children.
Requests for books not
available in the local library
totaled 30. Books not on hand
here may be requested from
Medford at no cost to the
patron.
New books are arriving
each month. Forty-one largely
children's books arrived in
July. A large shipment of
adult books is expected during
August. In addition to new
books, large shipments of
books are received monthly
from the supply for branches
in Medford.
A reference section has been
placed in the new library with
a new set of Americana Ency
clopedia, three older sets of
encyclopedias, and many
other new reference books
available.
Gifts of many old maga
zines of interest to boys and
men have been received. Sub
jects include mechanics, sci
ence, radio, TV, and flying
and these magazines also may
be checked out.
In the children's depart
ment, a Viewmaster with pic
tures of other countries and
states is in almost constant
use.
The Smokey Bear Reading
club, new this summer, has
150 members. Requirements
re to read 10 books, three of
them on nature. The club ends
August 20 and children com
pleting the program will re
ceive a certificate.
A window display has
drawn much interest. Facing
Pine St., it is passed by many
people in town. The display
will be changed every two
weeks and when possible will
be done by organizations.
Since opening, the displays
have been by the forestry
service, the garden club, and
he 4-H Rockettes. The garden
club, in addition to its display
of dried winter arrange
ments, held an exhibit July 28
on methods for preparing ma
terial. The meeting was at
tended by 30 people.

MONTGOMERY'S
Table Rock - Attending lhe
recent Vmocratie picnic at
TouVclle Park, we met many
enthusiastic valley people,
and several notables from up
state. All seemed to be fair
ly confident that the Demo
crats would be victorious in
November. That is, all ex
cept a small sprinkling of Re
publicans, who had strayed
into the park, and might have
been spies.
Charley Porter, our con
gressman, made a forceful and
interesting speech, and at the
conclusion was swamped
with "quizzers" who wanted
to know about matters rang
ing from national and world
affairs, to formulas for feed
ing stock. One Sams Valley
farmer wanted this the worst
way.
Then one man formerly
from the South wanted to
know if he knew Senator Hi
ram Doolillle - said he used
to live just across the roan
from him. Charley's pencil
was racing back and forth
across a tablet, as he tried
to keep up with the questions
and make a memorandum to
refer to, when making answers.
On this day, some 3,200
people visited the TouVelle
park counting both gates,
some 300 of them attending
the Democratic picnic, ac
cording to George Guthrie,
caretaker.
Saturday, we attended the
picnic al Elks picnic
grounds for valley Grang
ers, which was attended by
some 350, including those
from other counties, and
several Grange notables
from, upstate, Elmer Mc
Clure, state master, being
among them. For once, we
had that lucky ticket, and
won a $10 greenback,
which was quickly taken
over by our belter half,
who claimed that since we
both had tickets which we
were carrying,
ticket that
ner.

tion was given by Rev. O. L.
Kendal, pastor of tne ooia
Hill Community Methodist
church.
Years of Effort

effort on the part of various
individuals of the post office
department was necessary to
obtain the modern facility
that is now available to the
people of this community. He
stated that the public is lor-
tunato that Postmaster Gen
eral Arthur E. Summcrfieia
is such a far sighted man
working for modernization
and expansion.
Lester pointed out that the
building with its facade of
redface brick with "Gold Hill
Post Office" in raised plas
tic letters is a definite chal
lenge to all other local busi
ness establishments for mod
omWnlinn In keen pace with
progress. New equipment nas
been installed throughout inc

type counters in tne service

ed that he is sure that every
one will be "very happy"

ernment in conjunction with
