THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE __________________________________ ON THE SCENIC NORTH SANTIAM HIGHWAY — GATEWAY TO THE HEART OF NATURE’S EMPIRE VOLI ME XIX XI MBER 16 Mil I CITI Library Meeting Scheduled Here Thursday Night t How do we keep the bookmobile? This question demands quick action on the part of all the people in Linn County, for unless a country library is approved at the forthcoming spe cial election, the bookmobile will be assigned to another county. If Linn county residents approve parti.ipation in a library region, the county will be-studied to determine the best possible outlets for service. Would you like a branch library in Mill City? Mrs. Mabel Baker, Western Oregon Extension librarian, will meet with Mill City residents at the Santiam Union high school library Tuesday evening, November 18 at 8 o’clock to participate in a panel with Virginia Hoeye, Ronald Ragsdale and Edith Mason. Time will be reserved for i general discussion of cooperative li brary service—the cost of it — the “why”’ of it—and the “how” of it. Arrangements for this important and timely meeting are being made, through sponsorship of the Worn-! an’s club of which Mrs. Hoeye is the ' president. Wayne Downing Loses To Demo.
