arrangement of books, with the
wey remodelled second floor fully
utilized, and pressure reduced on |
the first floor.
Saturday,
were busy days.
Proceedings started in a small
way on Friday, with Rose Unger,
Alice Thomas and Nancy Evans
moving mystery books to their new |
location upstairs where they found
enough shelf space in the room back
of what was once Miss Lathrop’s |
bedroom, to accommodate all books
without double parking.
On Saturday, seven boys from
the Key Club assisted librarians
and Board members, and two little
girls from Gate of Heaven School
helped. Janet Sedlak and Nina
Shiner have been volunteering in
the Library each week. Key Club
boys who carried books were Barry
Slocum, Bill Glahn, Joe Ulinoski,
Bill James, Tom Pierce, Ronald |
Sinicrope, and Bob Brown.
Arranging books were Karen
eHoward, Alice Howell, Helen Hef- |
fernan, Mary Frantz, Florence
Crump, Marion Jones. Don Weidner
worked, and Mrs.
librarian, was director in chief.

This was the indication this week

Clark who was Republican Sixth
{ District Chairman from 1938 to
44; County Treasurer 1944
to 48, and County Republican Chair-

anization will be strengthened by a
man who stays with his party and
opposes Democratic wastes and ex-
travagance in State Government.
| Constantly increasing taxation, he
| believes, is the biggest problem be-
{fore the electorate, Earlier in his
|career Mr. Clark was a Dallas Bor-
ough Councilman.
Other candidates who will focus
| attention on the Back Mountain
{area during the Primaries are Rob-
ert Fleming, Dallas attorney and
