This week has been set aside for the 7th annual observance by an official proclamation of Governor George N. Craig. Using the theme of joining the educational resources offered by school, college, public, special and institutional libraries, the proclamation states: •‘I . .do hereby call upon all libraries continuously to cooperate within their communities and in the state for the increase and improvement of their services ... to strengthen their local libraries and to secure equal library opportunities for all.” A copy of the proclamation in full is on display in the library, Miss Heller said. The Decatur public library together with all the other libraries in Indiana is urging that all the citizens become more aware of the ■ facilities which are so easily obtained through their library: Miss Heller further suggests that families who live in areas without libraries find out by contacting the nearest library how service may be obtained. ' The Decatnr library has been serving this community for 50 years, and each year has added to the services offered. A well-chosen collection of books has been gathered together for the free use of the citizens of Decatur and Washington township. In addition to these resources the library has an excellent collection of current periodicals, pamphlets and newspapers. Miss' Heller suggests that visitors to the library as well as regular patrons make library visits and use a family habit, since material of Interest to every age group is available there.

New Test For American Arms Policy Looms Saudi Arabia Says Nation Expected To Honor Obligations CAIRO (INS) —A new and perhaps decisive test far U.S. arms policy in the Middle East appears to he building up today. Prince Mishaal, Saudi Arabian defense minister, said his country fully expects the U. S. to honor treaty obligations by fiMing Saudi requirements for arms and military equipment. The prince told International News Service in response to questions submitted to him: “The U.S. is bound by treaty to supply the requirements of Saudi Arabian armaments and military eqiupment. “The Saudi government will pay for all purchases in cash, in advance.” - * * • He strongly suggested that if the U. S. refused further arms requests, the Saudis might be forced to turn elsewhere. The prince also said that so far his government had not contacted any member of the Soviet bloc for the purpose of purchasing arms. Highly placed Egyptian sources, however, said the Saudis recently had received an “attractive” Soviet arms aid offer. What complicates the U. S. position even more is the expiration on June 18 of the five-year lease on the air force base at Dhahran on the Persian gulf. The base is a key one in the ring of strategic air command outposts around the Communist bloc. The U.S. became obligated to sell arms to the Saudis when the base was leased. The prince said be understood

certain “amendments” were being proposed at the negotiations for renewing the agreement. He declined to elaborate since the matter was one of “high policy.” Safety First LONDON (INS) — Police authorities picked a significant spot in a busy South Ixmdon shopping center for their latest safety poster. The poster, reading "Be bright watch the lights?, is displayed in the window of a funeral parlor. *
