Increased Home Use of Library
Books Noted in Monthly Report
Branch library home use of
books has increased almost
133 per cent over July a year
ago, Omar Bacon, head li
brarian of the public library
of Medford and Jackson coun
ty, reported to the county
court Friday.
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withdrawn.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in Juiy and 17 withdrawn.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.

Committee Formed To Take Action Against Alcoholism
Alcoholism is a disease. Bat
sufferers from It can be help
ed. . 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

Aug. 31, according to the
county court.
The county court plans to

civil department and one stan
dard sedan for the tax de
partment, it was explained.

new 1060 four door six pas
senger sedans of 90 horse

the same as the other 10 cars
purchased for the sheriff's
criminal department. Specifi
cations call for a 118 inch

ment. A recent attorney general's

ed for mileage when they use
their private cars on routine
county business.
Purchase of the cars will be
financed from $3,372.72 al
lowed In the current county
budget for mileage expenses
for the tax department and
$1,789.84 for the tax department.
