the Area Two Library Services Authority." Helen Smith, librarian, said during a recent news conference, that she is most anxious to obtain much needed material for her patrons through the Reference and Referral Center. The Area Two Library Services Authority is a municipal corporation established under the provisions of the Library Services Authority Act of 1967. Its membership is composed of all types of libraries in the northern Indiana counties of St. Joseph, Marshall, Elkhart and Kosciusko. This area corresponds to region 2 of Indiana's 14 planning and development regions. Each of the 21 member libraries is represented by one person on the ALSA 2 Board of Directors. ALSA 2 was created to encourage the development and improvement of all types of library service and to promote the efficient use of finances, personnel, materials and properties by enabling the members to join together, working toward a common goal. A library standing alone has limited resources to offer its patrons. Each library has something to offer another. By joining together with other libraries and sharing resources, services to pa-

trons can be expanded. By working together. ALSA 2 member libraries increase their access to resources and provide better services to their communities.

The meeting was called to order by the president, Alice Huhnke, giving a prayer. Ethel Bierly gave the devotions from God in my Kitchen, story 18, The Law of Kindness. Don’t say unkind things to people that will hurt their feelings.

Practice keeping from saying unkind things. It can be done. Closed with prayer. Alto Bowers had the lesson. She read "Our Door Is Not Always Open," from the February issue of The Christian Herald. It was a story of a mother giving up her daughter in marriage to a man she didn’t know . After ten years they divorced and she had two children. She went back to college and rented a cheap apartment. Her mother never said anything against the man or their troubles. She often though that her daughter could come home as they had room, but decided it best for her to be on her own. She prayed that they would go back together which they did later and had a happy home. This shows that prayer is answered.
