Those boy's whose high school teams have been eliminated in sectional piay and those wt.o are not playing high school spring baseball will start with an intrasquad game and follow with the stiff practice. The June 4 meet should be an interesting preview of the team, ; and is aimed chiefly at finding the jone more starting pitcher that the coadies hope to develop from the squad. The 1967 team as a whole appears to be a strong contender, but the heavy schedule would indicate that the squad needs to come up with one more starting ace.

MILFORD Library Notes By Mrs. Dorothea Kerlin This is the time of year that we are making a “last round-up” of books, magazines and pamphlets that have been used by high school students, teachers, and grade pupils, hoping to get all back to the library before school closes. Os course, there are always some, who though not in school, are negligent about returning library material. Last summer an overdue “Auto Repair Manual” cost a man in an Indiana community $25 in a fine and court costs, for he’ like many an otherwise respectable citizen. was guilty of a misdemeanor without knowing it. The fine was imposed under a sei-1 ; dom evoked act passed in 1961 con- j ceming misappropriations, theft, defacement or destruction of material from certain institutions. The act states that “whoever borrows from any library, gallery’, museum, collec-’ tion or exhibition, any book, magaizine. newspaper, manuscript, pamphlet, publication, recording, film, or I other article . . . and shall therefore willfully and knowingly fail to return . such article within 30 days, or shall fail to reimburse such library’, gallery, etc., for the value of such borrowed article, such person shall be guilty of a misdeameanor and upon conviction shall be liable to a fine of! not more than fifty dollars or im- 1 prisonment for more than ten days”. | I Most librarians are patient, forebearing. good natured people who j have no desire, nor indeed the time, to prosecute a patron for not returning a book, likely as not through laziness or sheer oversight. However, j good nature extends only so far. and lost books are a headache to the lij brarian and expense to the taxpayer ' that everyone could gladly do with- ; out. That’s why your Milford Public Library suggests this is a good time to ! scare up all overdue books, turn : them in. pay up fines that are still listed on individual cards, and get set for a summertime of reading, va-1 cation, and relaxation. Summer Reading Program The Summer Reading Program for ' children in the first four grades will start June 1 at the public library’. The theme this year will be “Circus Fun", with each child being given a ! clown card on which gummed colori ed dots will be placed for books read. ’ It is understood, of course, that the I child will read a book of his grade level (not lower) and will read the book in its entirety. Ten books are > required in order to be eligible for

a Reading Achievement Certificate and a party which will be held in August. Children may register any time, but the counting will not be in effect until after June 1. • • • We are very grateful to the boys and girls of Hie elementary school tor the book, “Hammond’s Nature Atlas of America”, which was given in memory of Shay Anglin, who was a fourth grade pupil. * ♦ ♦ The library looks and smells fresh after receiving two coats of paint which have lightened the general appearance, although the colors are the same as before. • • * New Books Wilkins.
