National Library Week To
Be Observed In Klamath
Forest Access
Funds Voted
The new federal highway bill
adopted by the U.S. Senate Roads
Subcommittee authorizes the expen
diture of $34,000,000 annually for
forest access roads and trails dur
ing each of the next two years.
Senator Richard Neuberger adds
that this is the largest such auth
orization in history and represents
a 25 per cent increase over the
existing authorization of $27,000,
000 annually.
He adds that the increased al
lowance will make possible much
V higher allowable cuts of timber in
the national forests, will result in
more competitive bidding, and will
make federal stumpage available
lo a much wider and r ore repre
sentative group of sawmills and
lumber companies.
The proposal for the increase was
introduced by Senator Ncuberger
and was accepted unanimously by
both parties..
Also the federal forest highways
fund has been increased in the
- bill from $30,000,000 annually to
$36,000,000.

A unique joint statement by two
living ex-presidents, saluting read
ing and the nation's libraries,
marks the opening of the first
National Library Week, March 16
22, to be observed in Klamath
County in keeping with the nation
al observance.
Herbert Hoover and Harry S.
Truman, declaring "that the right
to think means the right to read."
reminds Americans in their joint
message that "print is our pass
port to truth."
Public reading of the Hoover
Truman statement will highlight
many Library Week ceremonies.
The week is dedicated to "A Bet
ter-Read, Better-Informed Amer
ica."
Their join! statement reads:
The Bible tells us that truth
shall make men free. We Amer
icans know that if freedom means
anything, it means the right to
think. And the right to think means
the right to read anything, writ
ten anywhere, by any man, at any
time.
Print is our passport to truth.
It opens the richest empire man
knows Ihe empire of the human
heart and mind.
Men die, devices change, success
and fame run their course. But
within the walls, of even the small
est library in our land, lie the
treasures, the wisdom and the won
der of man's greatest adventures
on this earth. National Library
Week will greatly serve if it makes
us pause .and remember these
things."
The week is sponsored by the
American Library Association and
National Book Publishers to en
courage the use of libraries.
Acting under a national chair
man, state, county, city, school,
college and special libraries are
providing committees and boards
whose members work without pay
with qualified librarians to bring
the best possible reading service
to even the smallest hamlet, the
most isolated outpost.
Locally, the basic committee is
composed of Mrs. F. C. Adams,
Mrs. O. K. Puckett. Vivian Allo
way, librarian supervisor f o r
school District No. 1, Roy Tidwell,
Klamath Union High School libra
rian and chairman of the commit
tee, and Mrs. Addie May (Jacki
Nixon, city librarian.
Librarians are people, and li
braries are for people to use. Too,
too often thought of, a librarian
conjures in the minds of many a
picture of an uneducated, unsmil
ing female with tight bun of
hair, sans humor, peering from be
hind hornrimmed glasses at a wary
would-be reader afraid to ask for
"Robinson Crusoe."
Nothing is further from fact. 'To
day librarians must meet the stan
dards set up by the American Li
brary Association, graduation from
an accredited library school with
a masters degree in library, in
Oregon, school librarians are re
quired to have general teaching
credentials, phis 'their degree in
library work.
And books are free for the ask
ing. Many years ago in old-time
England, books were chained to
the shelves. Today, among the mil
lions of volumes available across
the land, the only books not per
mitted to be loaned out are those
that are irreplaceable.
Libraries have available for pub
lic use, not only books, but maga
zines, pamphlets, clipping files,
pictures, musical records, film
strips, books in Braille, and books
on records to be played for the
blind who are unable to read
Braille.
In larger cities, library services
include librarians who visit hospi
tals to record reading needs of
patients: librarians serve as in-
lormalion experts: they are re
quired to read books and deter
mine what books to buy on a li
brary budget, based on qualifica
tions of the author, the subject
covered and if a particular book
is needed in the library.
Books are then catalogued, ac
cording to subject, to make it a
simple procedure for the library
patron to find what he is looking
for. After books are catalogued,
numbered cards must be typed,
a record made for use of the li
brary, and numbered picket card
containers pasted inside the back
cover of each volume. All this de
tail must be concluded before
FRANK STITT
Organist To
Appear Here
The Klamath Falls Chapter of
the American Guild of Organists,
will present Frank Stilt, a highly
gifted young organist, in concert
at the lmmanuel Baptist Church.
BUeventh and High streets. Tues
day evening, March 18. The pro
gram will start at 7:30 p.m. There
is no admission and the public is
cordially invited. A free will of
fering will be taken.
Those who heard Mr. Stitt dur
ing his appearance here under
guild auspices two years ago, will
welcome his return. While he- ex
cels in playing all types of music
on the organ, the tremendous ap
peal and popularity of this extreme
ly versatile young organist is un
doubtedly due to his unique and
outstanding interpretations of mod
ern music. This promises to be one
of the most entertaining programs
the local guild chapter has sponsored.
Tucsdav afternoon, the artist will
be at the Bnwden Music Company,
Third and Main streets, available
for consultation on any problems
confronting an organist. His broad
experience in tins nera qualities
him to sucak authoritatively on
all phases of this subject.

hooks can be shelved and made
of general value to the public.
Reniamin Franklin is credited
with founding the first public li
brary. The early day libraries were
guild libraries, for use only of
those wealthy enough to belong to
a guild whose members had access
to a meager collection oi mc
of authors.
The first private libraries in
America were founded by profes
sors of the renowned men's col
leges, Harvard and Yale. The
name of Carnegie and his contri
butions to the world of the printed
work is known.
Today, there are thousands of
libraries and millions of books
available to the public.
