Have you heard ECHO yet? This new auto mated phone system will save the 11 libraries in the Washington County Cooperative Library Services system an estimated $40,000.00 per year in printing and mailing expenses. ECHO stands for Electronic Calling for Holds and Overdues. It uses a pre-recorded voice mes sage to inform patrons by phone when re served books are available and when books are overdue. The equipment for this new sys tem cost $14,000; the cost is approximately $60,000 per year to print and mail notices. ECHO will call on the first day that reserved materials are available and tell the patron at which library they are being held. ECHO will remind patrons of overdue books on the fifth Page 3 day after they are due. Neither message will reveal titles to respect the confidentiality of the patron. ECHO can recognize answering ma chines and can leave messages. No calls will be made on Sundays, most holidays, before 9 a.m. or after 9 p.m. If ECHO cannot reach a patron, then a printed notice will be sent. Banks Library is looking for an artistic vol unteer who would make lettered signs and displays. A few hours a month is all that would be needed. If you are interested, please caU Denise at 324-1382. Also on the volunteer front, Friends of the Library are in need of more people to help staff the Saturday Recycling at the SWATCO service yard on the second Saturday of each month. During the summer, with so many on vacation it is hard to find enough help. Hours are from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Even one hour a month would make a big difference. This is a great way to meet your neighbors, help the community and feel good about keeping the Earth healthy, too. Please call Donna McCall at 324-3404 for more information. Finally, volunteers are still needed to help complete the “Shady Evergreen” quilt. Quilting bees are be in g held in Banks, and the “Friends” will have a booth at the Washington County Fair for the final stitches. If interested, call Jami Masson at 681-9453 or Donna Mc Call at 324-3404. Lfcrary Hours: Wed. and Sat., 10 a.m.-4 p.m,, Thurs. 1-7 p.m., Fri., 1-5 p.m. Address; Oak Village Shopping Center, 669 S.

I asked dad recently how he and Ray had become hunting partners, since Ray is somewhat older. Dad said it wasn’t so much a matter of how, since Ray was a neigh bor and fellow logger, but why. You see, he explained, “Ray is the perfect hunting partner; he never complains, always carrys his end and, besides, his wife, Fern, makes the best apple pies and always sent one along on hunting trips. Ray and I have not hunted together for many years now, due to work, hunting restrictions and his health. But I will always remember this gentle-mannered mountain man who could pack half a buck out of the deepest canyon, even in his late sixties. The next time I hunt the Pinnacles, Tin Can Ridge or Sitting Rock, I am sure I will see Ray’s red felt crusher peering over the rimrock, looking down at me.
