Consideration of, the plan has been advanced at l several times. A large number of! Adams county people have regular' access to the Public Library on payment of the annual Library I charge. Ail those who realize the value of I’ulVJc Library are looking | forward to the time when we can 'ruly say. “It is the Decatur Public and Adams County Library." I. A definite action toward obtain-! ing a County Library was started in May 19.16 under the leadership of Mrs. J. C. Sutton, a trustee of Public library Board, and Mrs. I Frank Downs, president of th" County Federation of Clubs. Talks were given throughout the towns, and townships of Adams county; and to the local club organizations. ( The various townships Home; Economics Clubs, assisting in circulating the petitions, asking for' | the required number of signatures; from each one of the twelve town-' ships, the plan was endorsed by I the trustees of the Decatur Public! Library and school officials of! r-f-atur and Adami county. On’ lugust 4. 1930. ii ’von iully sign: <1 petitions wore presented from flat, number of townships to the Board | of County Commissioners y Mrs - (I. C. Sutton and Mrs. Frank Downs. The memll-irs favored the, movement and realized the oppor-j tunity ft would give to every home hnd child in Alanis county, but' decided not to take up th- Comity! Library system at that time because of economic conditions existing, due to bank failures in, the city and county, draught, etc. I We are hoping the times will enable the adoption of the county wide library system at an oarly! year. i Tha Decatur Library Board 193 C-311 President, Mrs. John Niijiick Vice-Pres., Mrs. C.

Only properly pre--I pined longdistance flights by duly 'qualified pilots using suitable equipi ped machines can be of value to the ! future of aviation,” he added, deI piaring "stunt" Hights "by people who often have less common sense i than'a chicken.” "As P. evident of tlte Federation," he continued, "my only idea is to ’ protect aviation.

If proper security is injured and l^i’ 1 machines are equipped to fly the dis auce i 'quired, trans-At-lat’lic flights can be of incalcuablq, value.” — o From the LatiThe wo.- I "Episcopal" means gov- : erned lie bishops, and Is taken from ] the Latin eplscopalis. ———— —o FOR RENT — House located within three blocks of the court house.
