RAY D. FISHER, Editor and Publisher THE NEW DEAL UPHELD Tuesday’s election shows that the New Deal, despite the criticism it has been receiving from various sources, is still popular. Figuring the thing out from the seclusion of one’s swivel chair | it might be reasoned that the inequalities of the NRA, the impossibility of satisfy­ ing everybody who demands or needs re­ lief, the piling up of expenditures, and scores of other considerations might damp­ en the ardor for the New Deal. Not so, however. The New Deal was vigorously and unmistakably upheld at the polls. In Oregon the election was a complete turn-about. Previously the majority of voters when in doubt voted republican— and to be elected to office a democratic CHRISTIAN CHURCH candidate either had to be outstandingly OFFICERS SHIFTED AT REEHER’S AND Morning worship at 11.

Used books, if in good condition, such as good novels, children’s stories, books of travel, adventure, bio­ graphy, and modern poetry will be appreciated greatly as dona­ tions. Among local citizens who are backing Book Week are Mayor Ben S. Owens, who was prevent­ ed by illness from making a pub­ lic statement as he desired, L. H. Dewey, president of the cham­ ber of commerce, Ivan N. Mc- Collom, principal, and Miss Elma White, librarian at the Washing­ ton school, Harold McEntire prin­ cipal, Nan Crary and other in­ structors in the Vernonia high school, C. R. Pritchard, minister of the Christian church, Rev. A. N. Glanville, pastor of the Evan­ gelical church. Discussing the importance of the library to the community, Mr. Dewey says: “The library has the important responsibility of selecting the proper books for our children to read during the different stages in their development. An eminent authority on child psychology has stated “What a child reads prob­ ably affects him more than any other influence that comes into his life except the people with whom he associates”. "The boys and girls of today growing up in the midst of con­ centrated library service will be the parents of tomorrow. The contribution of a generation which has grown up with books should be greatly enlightened and “There has never been a more drastic need for constructive ideas than at present and the public library in your community is the one place that is open to all classes. An additional service offered by the local library is that of securing books from the state library for a large variety of reading courses with only the expense of the postage to the borrower. “Now I come to the sad part of my story. The Vernonia public library like many others is fac­ ing the problem of furnishing more books for less funds, not only, less money for new books, but also to replace ones that have to be discarded. “Next week members of the library board will be soliciting the community for funds and books. Some of us may not have money, but most of us have some books in good condition that could be put to active use in the library. I believe it is the duty of every one that is able, to support the library at all times and I hope that you will make a special effort to help during Book Week.” Harold McEntire, principal of the Vernonia high school, also believes the library has an im­ portant mission in the communi­ ty for he says: “The public library has offer­ ed many educational opportuni­ ties whereby many people have a chance to become more effi­ cient and capable of meeting pre­ sent day demands. The library makes proper use of leisure tim< thus eliminating, to some extents the danger of necessary and un­ necessary idleness." of reading good books: “The strongest characters and leaders of the world have been readers of good books. “Enjoyment and entertainment is a small part of the benefits received. Many have been lifted out of stagnant environment into fields of activity and high stan­ dards of morals. Good books not only keep us in touch with the thinkers of the world but they stimulate the gray matter so that we can think in the channels of the great anr sublime. “Readers of good literature al­ so develop a personality and dig­ nity that is wholesome and ac­ ceptable in any company—Read and serve your age.” A more detailed discussion of the theme for this year’s book week, “Follow the Book Trail to Knowledge and adventure” was prepared by C. R. Pritchard. Be­ cause of its length and its inter­ est it will be published next wee
