GOSART'S ~ MAIN HIGHWAY — DALLAS OPEN 10 to 10, EVERY DAY b urer, at the annual meeting its annual Auction. Total receipts: from all other sources, including School District and Dallas Borough Council appro- priations, plus income from inves- ments and contributions from Dallas Woman's Club, Book Club and others amount to slightly less than $6,000 per year. While the Library Association has built up a sound endowment fund of slightly more than $66,000 during | its sixteen years existance, the in- come from these investments | amounts to less than $2,000 annually which can be used for current oper- ating expenses. The importance of the continued success of the Auction cannot be too highly stressed. One year of failure due to bad weather, com- munity indifference or other causes would present a serious problem for the Association. It is for this reason, and to assure the continued expan- sion and enlargement of its service that the Library Association must eventually look to other sources of income, possibly taxation. THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1961 1960 Financial Report Shows That Ruction Income Is Vital To Library The finaneizl report presented by Homer B. Moyer, treas- of Back Mountain Memorial Library Association, on Thursday night shows that the Library would fail to meet its current operation expenses by more | than $5,100 per year if it were not for the income derived from Few libraries in the country in, communities of similar size, are in as strong a financial position for growth as Back Mountain Memorial Library but this has come about because of appreciation in :nvest- ments and a wise use of funds. Only two special funds other than those established from Auction re- ceipts have ever been given to the Library from private sources. They are the Dr. Sherman Schonley Mem- orial Fund, established from the memcrial gifts of his friends and patients, and the Bertha Hutson Fund, established under the will of the late Bertha Hutson of Frankiin Street, Dallas. This points up the necessity for others who are interested in the advancement and continued success of the Library to remember the Association in their wills and through insurance polices. Presently the income from the Schooley and Hutson Funds amounting to $155.02 is earmarked for the purchase of books. FINANCIAL RECEIPTS: Book Transfers .

Carol, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. Stewart Williams, Parrish Street, appeared on the front page of the Dallas Post in February of 1959, a glowing example of what can be done by parental care and therapy given by the Crippled Children’s Foundation. Carol suffered a crip- pling attack of encephalitis when she New Statistics Handbook Lists Vital State Data The 1960 edition of the Pennsyl- vania Statistical Abstract, a hand- book of up-to-the-minute facts on the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, was released today by the State Department of Internal Affairs. Described by Secretary of Inter- nal Affairs, Genevieve Blatt, as “a publication without equal among State government compendiums of this kind in the United States,” the Abstract was compiled by the De- partment’s Bureau of Statistics. The book’s 264 pages of statistical tables, graphs, charts and maps is an expansion of the previous edition with several new categories and a wider range of subject activities. The variety and scope of the in- formation in the Abstract make it an invaluable time saver for busy people in immediate need of such data. It discloses, for example, that the number of physicians in Pennsyl- vania increased from a total of 16,- 500 in 1950 to 19,536 in 1959; that out of more than 10,000 lawyers in the state only 165 are women; that the rural farm population has shrunk from 705,207 in 1950 to an estimated 557,000 in 1960. Pennsyl- vania’s court system is described, how many members of the minor judiciary there are in all 67 counties and their political affiliation, and never-before-published data on local elections and registration of voters. Sources of the state's revenue are shown, This year’s handbook is larger than the 1959 edition by six sections and 95 statistical tables. There are 269 statistical tables in the current edition, 21 maps and 14 graphs and charts. Ready reference to all sub- jects is facilitated by a table of contents, an alphabetical index, ex- | tensive informational notes, and reference to other sources of data. Miss Blatt said the new Abstract, because of its broad coverage of the factors involved, “is a guide to in- creased knowledge of the dynamic forces that are shaping Pennsyl- vania’s present day society’ and The book includes data on population, education, govern- mental finances, manufacturing, agriculture, and other aspects of the life in Pennsylvania. has broken new ground by carrying information never before published in such fields as natural-resources conservation, the financing of wel- fare services, the work-load of the was an Infant, and has never been able to attend school.
