She Btated she is greatly satisfied with this type of work being done by county libraries and that she was glad to find the library here using WPA helpers to such good ad vantage. The supervisor said that it was quite evident that the Klamath county library does not have suf ficient funds for an adequate staff and as long as WPA is in existence her organization is glad to bo of help. She pointed out, however, that as long as tbe WPA is an emergency measure it is Impossible to count on its be ing permanent and that this type of work done by the women necessarily takes the nature of odd Jobs. Howover, tho typo of work being done by the library will presuppose a much larger staff than tbe library has, she stated. Mis Mulheron discussed with Mary McComb. the librarian, the possibility of WPA assistance for some of the larger branch 11' braries In tbe county and ex pressed her willingness to keep such a project In mind If there are satisfactory certifications In these districts.

It Is used to measure light at school desks, easy chairs tn the home or at the factory bench. When light falls on the light sensitive cell of the meter it causes a needle to register the number of units of Illumination at a given location. When the needle point to a read "danger zone" on the dial, the light is Insufficient for reading or sewing.
