We have been requested by the
members of the Library Board
to convey their thanks to the
volunteers who have contributed
both time and efforts toward
keeping the library open. “With
out their assistance we could not
keep the library running smooth
ly,” said one member. “Our
thanks, too, to Mr. and Mrs. Pa
trick Lynch, Mrs. Mona Long,
the Grey Nuns of the Sacred
Heart, and to Lou and Ginger
Veerman for their recent gifts
of books.** .... Card holders
may draw three books each week,
and may keep the regular books
two weeks. New books must be re
turned within one week, tho, as
there is a waiting list. ... All
membership fees (just $1.00 per
year) and all fines are used to
ward the purchase of new books.
There are many excellent books
on the shelves of the library, so
wrhy not get your membership now
if you are not yet a card holder?
All those new seed and bulb
catalogs how arriving make gar
deners eager to begin planting.

Greeks named a favorite wild
flower “narcissus” (meaning “nar
cotic”) because its heavy fra
grance caused drowsiness? In
