Brandenburg, president of the board of trus tees of the Public Library of Medford and Jackson county. In his short acceptance speech, Dr. Brandenburg quoted a bit of scripture, urging others "to go forth and do likewise" after mentioning the current award and other donors to the library. Described Library Miss Ebert described the library as the only public agency charged with the re sponsibility of contributing to the diffusion of knowledge, functioning as a continuing adult education center, irre spective of when one termi nates his formal education. She quoted President Ken nedy and Norman Cousins of the Saturday Review in list ing books and the will to use them as, "our greatest asset and the most important tools our nation has to diffuse knowledge and develop our powers of creative wisdom. The greatest stortage, today," she quoted Cousins "is the shortage of human knowl edge." In 1980, there will be 15 million persons in college or 80 per cent more than in 1960, Miss Ebert said, adding that this poses a tremendous chal lenge to the libraries in great er demands which must be made upon them. The $4.2 bil lion being spent by the gov ernment in space research al so poses a great problem for the libraries, the state li brarian reminded her audi ence, emphasizing the need for growing support, and thanking Omar A. Bacon, li brarian, the board of trustees and the Southern Oregon com munity for the realization of this problem. Tea Held Tlie program was followed by a tea. arranged by Mrs. Nathan Deaver, chairman of National Library week; Mrs. R. S. Axtell, Mrs. Robert Dames and Mrs. Leland Mentzer. Pouring were Mrs. Bacon and Mrs. Earl Johnson. The program was preceded by a luncheon at the Rogue Valley Country club for spe cial guests, arranged by Mrs. Curtis Nesheim and Mrs. Har ry Danielson. A similar award, with a check for $1,000, was re ceived by the Josephine Coun ty Library last year.

IMS A 9 Social Security County Payments Top $7.5 Million Old-age, survivors, and dis ability insurance benefit! in Jackson county now top f7i million annually, Edward B. Jacobgon, district manager of social security in Medford, said today. This represents ah in crease of 9.1 per cent over the last year's annual total. "This increase can be at tributed to the changes in tha law in recent years, as well as to the growth in our aged population," Jacobson said. "This money stimulates county business; most of It is spent for food, clothing and shelter. There is no longer any doubt social security benefits sre helping to stab ilize the income and spending power of many residents in Jackson county." Jacobson noted that as of Dec. 31, 1962, some 9,557 in dividuals in Jackson county were collecting $633,000 monthly from social security. More prople in Jackson county, he said, could draw social security benefits if they knew more about the law. Persons may visit or call the local social security office at 1017 North Riverside ave. whenever they have a ques tion concerning their berefits or responsibilities.
