The total library use has increased 36.8 per cent, Bacon , told the court in his monthly report.'. ' "We recognize, and appreci- ' ate the fact that the increased support from the Jackson county court and the City of : Medford have made this pos sible," he said. "The increased open hours at the branch li braries have aided patrons in finding the libraries open when they needed them. We feel, too, that the gift of $3,000 of books from the state, ('- Tinn other gift books, the dedicated work of our per sonnel, the generous support of the local communities, and the wide publicity of news papers, radio and television have all contributed to in creasing the use of the li brary." t "Central Point can be proud of the new library which opened July 1," he added. Slat Grant Fundi State grant funds have pro- ' vided new books and "given the impetus for massive-cooperative effort with the Ash land library for the benefit of all Jackson ' county pa trons," the librarian said. "A patron's library card is good in any public library In the county without charge." Of the branch libraries, Gold Hill showed the greatest circulation increase compared to July a year ago, Bacon said. Gold Hill residents took 926 books home compared with 278 a yenr ago, an In crease of 233.09 per cent. Butte Falls was second with 183.88 per cent increase of 775 books taken home com pared to 273 a year ago. Cen tral Point was third with a 178.42 per cent increase; 2,194 books in circulation compared to 788 a year ago. Bacon noted that 543 paper bound books, a comparatively new group of library books, were added in July with 43 withdrawn. A total of 501 non-f' tion books were added in Juiy and 17 withdrawn. A total F 342 fiction books were added to the adult section and Herfer's Demand Weighed by OAS San Jose, Costa Rica - (UPIt - Western Hemisphere foreign ministers Friday weighed a dramatic demand by Secre tary of State Christian A. Herter that the Dominican Re public submit to supervised election. At Thursday's session of the foreign ministers' conference here Herter proposed the cre ation of a special Inter-American committee to supervise Dominican elections "within a specific and seasonable pe riod of time." If the Dominicans reject the plan, Herter said, the foreign ministers should con sider rigorous imposition of the diplomatic and economic sanctions envisioned by the Rio Defense Pact.

And It takes organized community ' action to help them most effectively. These we're the key poinU made at a luncheon meeting here Friday ny George Dimas, executive director of the Ore gon Alcohol Education com mittee, a state agency which assists communities in plan ning and taking action against alcoholism. The meeting was arranged by a group of local people interested in such action, and was attended by some 30 per sons representing police, wel fare and social agencies, ed ucation, churches, cities, the county, and including others interested in the problems of alcoholism. As a result of the meeting, a committee was set up to fur ther explore ways and means of alcoholic education and assistance. Medford Police Chief Charles Champlin will serve as temporary chairman, and other members include Dr. L. D. Inskecp, Medford Cily Councilman Don Hansen, Mrs. Tom Cardona, and Hale Grcenman, all of Medford; Debbs Potts, mayor of Grants Pass, the Rev. Albert Sayers of St. Luke's Episcopal church; Grants Pass, and Dr. John W. Bradshaw of Ash land. Slate Committee's Role Dimas, in discussing the role of the state committee in this field, pointed nut that It is an official slate agency, that the group is appointed by the governor, and that it has about a quarter-million dollars a biennium to spend. It can assist in education and organization, and funds on a matching basis can be provided local groups for treament and education. He pointed out t h e im mense cost of alcoholism, not only to the individual and his family, but to society in gen eral in lost tax revenues, in welfare and police services, broken homes, dangerous driving, and in other ways. An alcoholic is generally defined, Dimas said, as one who has lost his ability to control his consumption of al cohol. And in describing the size of the problem, he indi cated that it is estimated there are some five million alco holics in the United States today, of whom some 26.000 to 31,000 live in Oregon. One out of every 14 of the 70 mil lion or so drinkers in the na tion becomes a "problem drinker," Dimas indicated. Usual Treatment He described the usual treatment now prescribed, which includes medical atten tion, and then extended psy chotherapy, as individuals or in groups. Success has been marked, he reported, although it is always difficult to give a percentage figure on the ex tent or nature of help offered. But, it "really works," he declared. He encouraged the formation of a local organiza tion to look into the needs here, and to set up a program. Such a program, Dimas sug gested, should be able to call on the facilities of many ex isting agencies and organiza tions, as well as on . volunteer help. He described progress of similar organizations re- Sheriff's Office To Seek Car Bids Bids on three new cars for the Jackson county sheriff's office will be opened at 2 p.m. Aug. 31, according to the county court. The county court plans to purchase two new vehicles of the compact car type for the civil department and one stan dard sedan for the tax de partment, it was explained. Specifications call for two new 1060 four door six pas senger sedans of 90 horse power and 106 inch wheel base. The other car will be the same as the other 10 cars purchased for the sheriff's criminal department. Specifi cations call for a 118 inch wheelbase, V-8 engine of 318 cubic Inches and 230 displace ment.
