Area Citizens To Join In National Campaign Michiana area citizens and chur ch goers join in a broadscale national campaign. Sunday, Monday, i and Tuesday, Oct. 25, 26, and 27, to : help return the Bible and prayer I to the schools. They wall participate in "Project .America II" in support of a constitutional prayer amendment. Project America II has the immediate goal of helipng to raise the "prayer and Bible issue" in the closing days of the current election campaign. The confusion created by the Supreme Court’s decisions which Tided against Lhe Bible and prayer in the schools, makes a constitutional amendment necessary to clarify and settle the issue’at stake. At stake is not simply the question of reading the Bible in the schools. As the Becker Amendment acknowledges, it is whether dr not the United States may continue to give honor and respect to God as a Nation. Those who have succeeded in casting the Bible out of school have vowed that they will not stop until they have thrown God out of the Pledge of .Allegiance, chaplains out of the armed forces, prayer out of Congress. Bibles out of the courts, and the last verse out of "The Star Spangled Banner.” On Sunday. Oct. 25. area churches and Sunday schools will devote their sermons and Sundav school lessons to the general subject “A Free Nation under’ God." - On Monday. Oct. 26. Project Amcrica 11 w.ll continue with a coa<t-to-coast closed circuit- telephone rally held in the major cities flcross America. The national rally will feature leaders of nat ; onal stature in the movement for the Bible: congressman Frank J. Becker. Dr. Carl Mclntire. Professor Charles Rice. Dr. Bob Jones, Jr., and others Project /America II will conclude on Tuesday. Oct. 27. with an organized campaign of house-to-house visitation. Area residents wilF circulate a pamphlet entitled "Facts. Questions and Answers on the Bible Issue." Project America II is a sequel to Project America last spring which gathered more than two million signatures on petitions and post cards to Congress asking for a constitutional amendment. Sponsor of the three-day activity locally is the Michiana area citizens for praver and Biblffe reading in the schools. The national Project America II is sponsored by Infernal i o nal Christian Youth, a Christian vouth and student organization affiliated with the American Council of Christian churches. National headquarters are at 756 Haddon avenue Collingswood. N. J.

MILFORD Library Notes By Mrs. Dorothea Kerlin

A certain businessman conducting a visitor bn a tour of his city, proudly pointed to the public library and said "That building cost $750,000, and has 100,000 books. It occupies the choicest piece of real estate in town”. "How many times have you been in it to borrow book'?” the visitor asked. The embarrassed businessman had to admit that in all the years the library had occupied the prominent location, he had never been inside the building, nor had he requested any books, information or special service. For all he knew, the building he so proudly pointed out to friends and visitors, might have been a handsome warehouse in the heart of the city. Yet he was aware that it was a civic and cultural asset, and he took pride in boasting about it. You, as a taxpayer, are the only person who can really determine howuseful and -effective your public library is. Tlh? cost of books, buildings, equipment and salaries are going up like everything else. How do you know your town and community are getting their money’s worth from your public library? How long has it been since you used it? Many new books for children have been placed on our shelves during the summer, including the 1964 edition of Childcraft, the How and Why Library, in 15 volumes. *♦ • ♦ National Children’s Book Week will be observed November 1 to 7 with special displays and exhibits of new books. Keep this week in mind. Today’s children will be the liabitUal library users of tomorrow- if they are introduced to the pleasures and usefulness of libraries at an early age. Parents can do much in encouraging the use of library facilities. •• ♦ ♦ New books that will be of interest to adult readers include:’ Harper Encyclopedia of Science (4 volumes' A Treasury of Great American Quotations edited by Charles Hurd, is “Our country’s life and history in the thoughts of its men and women"! Masterplots, European fiction. A| merican fiction, non-fiction, poetry/, and drama series. Barry Goldwater, portrait of an Arizonian, by Edwin McDowell The Lyndon Johnson Story by Booth Mooney Mrs. LBJ by Ruth Montgomery ReminiscenceS by Douglas MacArthur Dessert Book, Salad Book and Landscape Planning, all put out by Better Homes and Gardens This is My Story-. This is My Song by Tennessee Ernie Ford Fabulous Flemings of Kathmandu, the story of two doctors in Nepal Angel on Her Shoulder, account of two missionaries in Formosa, K. L.
