"For a richer- fuller life,
wake up and read." This is
the slogan . for National Li
brary Week, 1961, which is
being celebrated this week.
According to Gilbert Chap
man there are approximately
25,000,000 people in this
country with no public
library service and about
50,000,000 with inadequate
services.
President John F. Kennedy
In his articles "Why we
should wake up and read,"
has this to say: " 'Wisdom is
better than strength'. These
words from Ecclesiastes are
more than 2,000 years old
but they have a special mean
ing for us today. We face the
challenge of unprecedented
growth at home. And what we
need more than atomic pow
er, or airpower, or financial,
industrial, or even manpower,
is brain -power.
The purpose of National Li
brary Week is not only to
promote reading and the
many uses of the public li
brary .but also those of the
private libraries. 1
This is the fourth consecu
tive year that a week has
been set aside for focusing the
public attention on the values
of reading and the need for
more adequate imrary serv
ice in our country.
Hedrick, in recognition of
this week, will place a Civil
War display in the hall show
case, and a National Library
Week display will be placed
on the library bulletin board
and throughout the library.
There will also be a showing of
new books. Announcement of
this special week will be in
the daily school bulletin, and
a quiz concerning books will
be tgiven in each homeroom.
The week of April 10-14
was FHA week. In order to
celebrate this week, a red

Cuban Gunners Execute Seven
Miami, Fla. - 0IPD - Seven
persons, including one identi
fied as a U.S. citizen, were
executed by firing squads at
dawn in Havana today, Ha
vana Radio announced. It
raised the total number of
executions for the past three
days to 24.
Havana Radio, in a broad
cast monitored here, identi
fied the American citizen as
Rafael Diaz Bencom. Also
among those who died today
was Humberto Sori Marin, ex
agriculture minister in Pre
mier Fidel Castro's . cabinet
and the man who drafted the
laws making possible firing
squad executions in Cuba.
Eight persons were execut
ed on Tuesday and nine - in
cluding two Americans-were
put to death by firing squads
Wednesday.
The Americans executed
Wednesday were Angus Mc
Nair of Coral Gables, Fla., and
Howard Anderson of Yakima,
Wash. .
The latest executions pushed
the total number who have
died before Castro's firing
squads, since he seized pow
er in January, 1959, to nearly
700.
Averages of 4.0 were
earned by five students for
the third quarter. They were
Sara Jo Diment, seventh
grade; John Casterline and
