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

books, if in good condition, such
as good novels, children’s stories,
books of travel, adventure, bio

be appreciated greatly as dona

Among local citizens who are
backing Book Week are Mayor
Ben S. Owens, who was prevent

Dewey, president of the cham
ber of commerce, Ivan N. Mc-
Collom, principal, and Miss Elma

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<r
as a fitting climax to the ob
servation of book week.
