These are very beautiful books published every two months, bound in white washable material and fully illustrated in color. If you have not seen these books you will be interested in them. THE -SUMMER READING PROGRAM for the children has had a splendid response. Come into the library some afternoon and watch the children getting there books checked in and see the interest they have in their books and you will realize that Decatur has some very excellent readers. For our 50th anniversary we have the largest number of children enrolled we have ever had. Already 500 children have enrolled. When they read ten books they will put a candle on the birthday cakes. Next week the candles will begin appearing. If they can persuade a parent or any adult person to read three non-fiction books for them then a gold candle will be placed in the top of the candle cake. We are sure you will want to encourage the children to read. Our idea in planning this program la Ahat the children who read during -the summer do not have a chance th -forget their words, and so start school in the fall with a good knowledge ot words. A diploma is to each child who read the ten books during the summer. A pennant is awarded to the gVade in the Public and the Catholic school that has the most to complete the program. A pennant is awarded to the rural school that has the most to finish. Help us celebrate this great event in the history of Decatur by helping your child to read. VACATIONERS are invited to send us cards all during the summer, and people who formerly lived tn Decatur are invited to remember us.
