Oregon Asking For West Coast Playoff San Francisco, Nov. 16 —(UP) — Ignoring Oregon demands for a playoff game with California, Pacific coast conference commissioner Victor 0. Schmidt said today that a telegraphic vote to select the Western Rose Bowl representative would ' start immediately after Saturday's games. The ballots will be cast by facul- \ ty representatives of the 10 schools in lhe PCC who have until noon , Monday to get their votes into the commission office in Los Angeles, 1 where they will be tabulated and announced. Meanwhile, University of Ore- ' gon officials pushed their request ’ for a play-Off with California to decide the PCC championship in case 1 the two clubs end up in a tie. The Webfoots have won six, lost none in the PCC and end the season against Oregon State Saturday. California ha£ won five, lost none and finishes against Stanford.. The Bears have the best over-all record, being undefeated in nine games this, year and working on a stretch of 13 in a row. Oregon has lost only to powerful Michigan, 14-0. Atheletic director Brutus Hamilton of California yesterday flatly rejected a suggestion from Leo Harris, Oregon athletic department head, that the two teams engage in a play-off in Berkeley to decide the crown. Hamilton said California did not engage in post season games. Coach Jim Aiken of Oregon said he and his squad were heartily In favor of the play-off proposal, but coach Lynn Waldorf of California said he could not look beyond Saturday's “big game” with Stanford. Schmidt said from Los Angeles that there was no rule against a conference play-off, but added that j it would have no effect on the selec-1 tion of the Rose Bowl represents-j Stive, because that still was up to I the selection of the Rose Bowl repI resentative. because that still was tup to the faculty members in their • Saturday ballot. Big Nine To Vote Chicago. Nov. 16 — (UP) — There was little chance of a tie , vote In the big nine's balloting to 1 determine a Rose Bowl representative, the decision of the league's | faculty representatives will be announced Monday. The faculty representatives, who cast the ballot picking the team, have requested to telegraph their top three selections to the western conference headquarters after Saturday’s games. The results will be tabulated Sun- • day and Monday commissioner Kenneth L. “Tug" Wils6n will announce ’ the nomination. Because each school will vote for hits first three choices, there was j little likelihood that anv two teams I would tie.

Slight Damage Done In Moose Home Fire Fire attributed to spontaneous combustion of oily mops and rags filled the Moose home with smoke at 12:20 a.m. today. The fire was confined to the furnace room, and was extinguished by the Decatur fire department without appreciable damage. ~ Thanks To Sponsors (By Delores Delanter) The Tri Kappa Associate Group has given the Decatur Teenagers something new. It is a new book shelf. On this shelf there will be books suitable for book reports or ■ just for pleasure. This is a wonderful thing, and there aren't words enough to express our thanks to this organization. But if the young adults of Decatur appreciate this and will use their “Book Nook” and take care of enough. So all I can say is "Thanks, Tri Kappa Associate Group.” I for one will use and appreciate your gift, and I am sure all of the Decatur young people will do likewise. w Children's Story Hour Attracted Much Interest In 1936 the Library opened a “Children’s Story Hour,” under the direction of Mrs. R. D. Myers. Every Saturday afternoon the children met in the auditorium of the Library, from 1:30 to 2:30. The first ten minutes the story was for the little children of pre-school age. and the rest of the hour stories were for the older children. The stories were made more interesting with the use of brightly colored pictures, and occasionally some curios from different parts of the state or another state were shown. Once a story was told of China, and a Chihese robe and cap and pair of glasses were shown, and still another time a story of Japan was told and a woman’s robe, and a china pillow, made it interesting and exciting: always the story was taken from I some Junior book in the library and the children were urged to read the book for themselves; the result was increased circulation of Junior books. Miss Ruth Winnes, the librarian, began placing a list of books for Juniors, each month in the daily paper, and at the end of a year children were selecting their own books without the aid of the “Story Hour.” Local Florists Will Aid In Decorations Five Decatur florists will keep the library “dressed up during National Book week and each will contribute flowers for the occasion. The firms cooperating are Lutes. Kelly’s (Decatur Floral), Rentz', Smitley’s and Warren’s. New flowers will be added each day or two during the week. School Library Aids In Book Traffic Relief (By Miss Eleanor Pumphrey, librarian .Decatur high school.) “The right book for the right child and a book for every child” is the goal for which the public library and the school library have found many ways for working together. Apart from there, being fewer books in the school library, with a necessarily smaller variety of titles, the selection is the same in the public library. Occasionally one book will have many potential readers and since the school lij brary cannot furnish more than ( one or two copies the public li ( brary is called upon to furnish , their copies of the book for use ’ by the students. The same is true ’ of the Reference Department. If ! we did not have the resources of ' the public library behind us. it . would be impossible to adequately satisfy the demands of the stu dents. The public library plays a very ! important part in the vacation time reading of the students. It is ' the only available source for good reading material and nearly all of ( the boys and girls take advantage of no studying to catch up on their leisure-time reading. Reaching all of the children wit! the book just suited for them isn't easy. It requires constant and hard work, but the school and the library working together can go farther , toward the goal. TRI-KAPPA Continued From Paxe Six twenty-four different artiste. Two of these have been hung in the ) Tri Kappa ward of the Riley Hospital Twenty-tour were exhibited through out the state this past year. The Decatur chapter exhibited twelve of these last April. Beginning this Fall the collection will be shown at Earlham College and Valparaiso University. Mrs. J. E P. Holland founder of Tri Kappa sorority is president of the Hoosier Art Patrons Assocla- ’ tion. The chairmen es the commit- 1 tee in charge of the local project are Miss Kathryn Kauffman, active chapter and Mrs. W. Guy Brown, i associate chapter. •

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

0 — O , j State Library Has Numerous Services 5 o ■ ■ —* I > (Writter by Hazel Warren, Chief 1 Extension Division, if ta t e Li--1 brary.) • r , The State Library services supplement those of your local library. Its collections are approximately 260,000 books and 100.000 pamphlets. This includes books and pamphlets that most of the libraries in the state do not have. The collection includes government i documents, books for the blind ; (braille and talking book records), : and materials of all kinds relating ■ to Indiana and its history, which is ■ claimed to be the largest collection of such material in existence. Official collections of the Archives of state departments and institutions are housed in the Library. It also has one of the best genealogical libraries west of the Applachins. Every Indiana county has at least one newspaper in the files of the 300 newspapers received. You know the resources of the State Library. All this material is for service to all of you. Most material of course, cannot be circulated. General and special reference service is given by sending books available for circulation. Much service can be given by correspondence. All should ask at their public library for reference and other research material and for all books. The State Library promotes library meetings and conferences in cooperation with the Indiana Library Association and the Indiana Library Trustees Association. It maintains advisory service by work in the libraries and communities and through correspondence. There is cooperation with the State Department of Public Instruction in offering similiar services to local school libraries. Contacts are made with all library and non-library organizations. Special service has been given to the 754,569 people in the state without public library service. Because of low appropriations and the high cost of living, there is a ninadequate staff. It may l>e necessary to curtail all the traveling book collection service until more money is available. The State Library gives all the service possible to Adams County and to all the state. Girl Scout Merits Among the badges earned by members of Girl Scout Troup No. 5 w’as that of Junior Citizens. To earn this merit badge the girls participated in discussions on such! interesting and vital topics as: (1) Knowing requirements to vote in local and national elections. (2) Activities in daily life made possible by the constitution and Bill of Rights. (3) Various kinds of taxes paid ‘by citizens of our community. In addition the girls were required to spend at least three hours doing some service that improves community property. For this service they chose to work at the Decatur Public Library.’ Their work there consisted of keeping the books straight on the shelves, and in order. Last spring five girls earned their merits with this work:- Barbara Cole, Patricia Courtney, Barbara DeVore, Carolyn Hakes, Frances Hess. GROUP Continued From Pnxe Six plaque: “Tri Kappa Book Nook I 1948 Associate Chapter” Each book will also carry a book plate designed by Miss Madge Hite, a charter member of Kappa Kappa Kappa. She has used the open > gate as a symbol of the invitation ! to reading and the wide horizons ! to which it leads. The crossed keys and the formalized carnations - above the gate mark the insignia and interest of the sorority. The fund which the associate r -hapter has established will permit the purchase of approximately ■ thirty-six books every year, such I expenditure being supervised by I he librarian. The Tri Kappa books will be i grouped in reading interests—ficion and non-fiction, (adventure, '.nimal, biography, mystery and t oihance) poetry, art, music, theaI tre, science, hobbies and crafts, r -.chool and spot* conduct and perr tonality, etiquette, the American vcene, building home and community. pamphlets on current events and distinctive editions of the ■ classics.

Decatur soon developed : a reputation for having the best ■ equipped magazine tables of any • library in the Surrounding terri- ; tory. i The Shakespeare club was no exception to this. They gave gen- > erously. many books and magai zines. Various groups gave entertainments and made donations of the money thus received for the purchase of some needed item. A pair of handsome outside lamps was one of these. These lamps were added to the building at a cost of one hundred and fifteen dollars, the amount earned by the combined efforts of the Shakespeare club and the Historical club, uniting in sponsoring a home talent play, “Mrs. Wiggs Os The Cabbage Patch.” For two nights they packed the, Bosse Opera House and according] to reports from the Democrat of I that date it proved to be both a social and financial success. Mrs. Wiggs was ably portrayed by Mrs. Jennie Studabaker Furman and was especially worthy of mention. Mrs. I. Kalver, who played the part of Mrs. Schultz, pleased her audience as did Miss Vada Martin, the cross patch and Miss Minnie Orvis, (Mrs. John O'BrianDas Miss Hazy. As a financial success the clubs were assured for soon two beautiful lamps adorned the outside of the library lighting the eager reader to the attractive rooms above. With mothers so library minded it is not to be wondered at that a few years later a group of children, young sons and daughters of these same mothers, imbued with a love of the library and al wish to do things for it, produced play, “tlnderella” which they performed in the attic of the C. A. Dugan home, charging a small admission fee, mostly to the mothers, | and using the proceeds to purchase two new books for the library. The ! play was dramatized by “Little' I Helen Dugan," (Mrs. Ralph Un-| ' kerfer), according to a news item of that time and was drilled by the ' children themselves. They ln- ; eluded Dick Heller the Magician, Ralph Tyndall, David Hensley, the Frances and Ehingers and other children of the neighborhood. The books thus purchased included 1 “The Hollow Tree Snowed In" and 1 ‘The Hiawatha Reader." Among the numerous gifts the] library has received might be men-| ’ tioned the cabinet of curios that is I , I still standing In the childrens room. | 1 given by Mrs. Morrison. It is fill-1 1 ed with beautiful and valuable' ] mementoes of her trips abroad. I Also included in her gifts is a portfolio of writing that is very interesting and worthwhile. ’ Other ladies who have served on the library board from the Shakespeare club have been Mrs. Mattie Bailey, Mrs. D. B. Erwin and Mrs. J. C. Sutton. Ip the early, years the library was kept open, from one to six on Sundays and I was well, patronized on these afternoons. No books could be taken out and various club ladies acted t as librarian for that day. A little later Miss Jessie Blossom became' ’ the regular Sunday librarian, and ] continued for several years. j It might be interesting to note I the names of the members of the . Shakespeare club who were active 9 and interested in the beginning of I t the library movement. They in-1 eluded Mesdames R. K. Allison,' , Helen Blossom, Jan Crabbs. C. A. I t Dugan, L. G.

! building of The Decatur Public Li-1 11 brary which now stands as a beauj tiful monument to the dreams of those men and women who began the project a half century ago "because they loved their fellow • men." The Shakespeare Club and the Historical Club were the only two clubs in the city when agitation for a library began. In 1902, the Euterpean Club was organized. Being strictly a ctfltural club they too soon realized the need of a library and gave generously of money, time and talents toward the promotion and support of such an institution. One of the gifts about which they were very happy about was a handsome set of Mark Twain’s books. This club, in 1919 became the i Woman's Department Club and since that time has been very closely associated with the library. With the exception of one or two years most of their public meetings have been held in library auditorium. At first the club had the use of the entire lower floor. The club furnished the room that had been built for a Council Room and for a time used it as a public rest room, paying also for the woman who acted as care taker. Later these same ladies were influential in obtaining the rest room in the Court House for the public. This gave them once more the use of the vacated room. They also furnished the auditorium with wicker furniture tables and a piano. It really became their club home. From these rooms issued many civic affairs such as community Christmas celebrations, joining in the Hallow Eve festivities, lectures, musical programs sometimes ■ open to the public. Here plans I were made for tennis courts which ■ the club supported, for parks and planting of trees and flowers in public places, for the numberless things this outstanding club has done, both for their own pleasure and for the community. To them it became a home as well as a cultural center. Today, however, their privileges are somewhat restricted. The growing library required the use of the reference room they once used and the Council room has been devoted to other purpose for several years. The auditorium being the only room open to the Woman’s Club now it has become necessary for them to abandon many of their forjner activities but they still find it a very desirable place in which to hold many of I their meetings and their hearts are I with the Decatur Library and its future growth. The Research Club, organized after the pioneering days of the lij brary, has always been a loyal supI porter and has had the honor of I having seven of its members aps pointed to the board. Mrs. C. D. i Lewton, who lately passed away | served as a member of the Board , londer than any other member. Mrs. R.'D. Myers has served both on the Board and as librarian. Today numerous other clubs and groups, the citizens of Decatur and especially the children are finding the library the center of culture, information and pleasure its early friends once hoped it might be. Verily, a dream has come true. ! l HISTORY OF CuatlMued From Pxire Six 1 stared them in the face. They 1 would not consent to put up a poor building, and there was heating, lighting- and plumbing to provide for. The Board decided to make another appeal to Andrew Carnegie for an additional S2OOO. He replied ‘ he would be glad to increase the ' amount from SIO,OOO to $12,000 proI viding the City Council would guarantee a correspondingly increased I I amount. The City Council agreed, 1 The Decatur Library was assured. June Bth 1905 Miss Annete Moses 1 was appointed Librarian. The 1 School Board transferred 1000 1 books to the Library Board. These ! books were plaqed in a temporary I downtown room where Miss Moses mended them and classified them. 1 and had them ready for the open- ' ing of the Library. Aug. 29. 1905 1 Rev. E. A. Allen moved away and I Mrs. E. A. Morrison was named President of the Board. She re- - mained an active member of the Board until 1911 when she re- ■ signed due to living out of the city. ■ Her sister Mrs. John Niblick was - appointed to take her place and was an active member until her 1 death 1942. There are many valuable gifts in the library from Mrs. • Morrison and Mrs. Niblick and as 1 we look at these gifts and read 1 the books and records we see again these two splendid, generous wo--1 men who talked and worked so > diligently for the cause of the Library.- > In September. 1905 I. M. Kirsch

I was appointed to succeed Rev. E. A. Allen. He served until his death in 1935. Mrs. C. M. Kenyon resigned in 1906, Mrs. C. D. Lewton sue- • ceeded her and remained on the Board .until 1947 when due to illness’she resigned. Mrs. Lewton i during all her forty years of sen--i ice on the Board was an interested, enthusiastic member. In 1906 Clark i J. Lutz resigned and the School Board appointed Henry B. Heller i who served for 25 years, when his residence in Monmouth necessitati ed his resignation. These early Board members set an enduring example. They gave freely of their time and their time and their enthusiasm for the cause did much to advance the interest in the Decai tur Library. The Library was built at a cost of $15,490.33, funds for which were provided as follows: Hon. Andrew Carnegie ..$12,000.00 City School Board 269.18 County Treasurer 707.89 Citizens of Decatur 1,513.26 Temporary loan 1,000.00 Total $15,490.33 From the early history we quote: “Under the judicious oversight of the Library l Board which held weekly meetings for consultation everything was kept moving and 1 all unnecessary expenditures were eliminated. Nothing but the most approved material was used in any department, and the result is that a most beautiful, economical up to date building graces the lot on Third Street that supplies a need long recognized by the community and a building which every citizen is justly proosk” July 19, 1906, with Miss Annette Moses as Librarian the doors of the Library opened to the public From that day to the present time ] the citizens of Decatur have found pleasant comfortable reading rooms ! and ever increasing shelves of 1 books. As years passed many additions and repairs have been made. In , 1908 the cellar was excavated for . the furnace, a better entrance to t the cellar and a protection for the , west entrance made. In late years a furnace stoker and basement ex- , haust fan were added. Chairs were , purchased for the reference rooms ( in 1913. In 1922 two new stacks for books were purchased and , again in 1924 another new stack , was installed. Tables and chairs ' for the children's department were . added in 1926. Cement walks and curbing in 1927 added to the outside appearance. All exposed electric wiring has been placed in conduit.- The building has been re- , painted several times, this last summer it was entirely re-decorat-ed outside and inside. In 1947 a ' new root was necessary, and this I summer the north and south walls were repaired. New Wake- ! field Grenadier ceiling lights have been installed recently. I When outside lights were InstallI ed In 1908 the Club women raised , the money for the project by giving a play. The Civic Department of , the Woman’s Club gave the outside urns. They keep them tilled and care for them during the summer. When the Library was opened the magazine subscriptions were donated by interested citiiens. This r continued tor a number of years. r Now the Library has about 125 dis- , ferent magazines, these magazines > circulate just like the books after . they are taken from the current > shelf. From a library of 1000 I volumes it has grown to approxi- > mately 16,800. It serves Decatur . and Washington Township. Peo- . pie living outside Washington 1 Township pay 1.00 per year for t their library cards. In 1932 the State sent W. P. A. ) workers here who catalogued the > books. The work was completed by ) Mary Grace Zimmerman. The Li- > brary uses the Dewey System of ! Classification. i Miss Moses served the public , most efficiently from 1905 to 1933 . when due to illness she resigned. ; Her assistant. Miss Ruth Winnes I was' appointed Librarian. During I the depression there were many . readers but little money to buy > new books. Mrs. R. D. Myers re- . signed from the Board and be- . came assistant librarian to help i with the increased amount of work. I She started the “Children's Hour” r which was a great success, and . grown up men and women now . smilingly come to the desk and tell i us about her “Story Hour.”- Miss 1 Winnes and Mrs Myers did heroic ! work in those days when every- ■ thing was so difficult. Mrs. Myers , has always continued her associa > tion with the library, and still substitutes for the librarian. If she i cannot come her daughter-in-law,
