BETTY BRIDGMAN in the Christian Science Monitor See how the paper remembers what it's told, Letter-perfect, like aspiring actor Rising to recite, whenever called. Speech of Lincoln, Socrates or Hector-- Awake all hours of the twenty-four With every answer ready on its tongue; In language fluent, versed in nature lore, Wise as the ancient, eager as the young. It won't forget the date of Waterloo. It keeps the color of Cleopatra's hair, And map of where the Hanging Gardens grew, Shelley's defiance, Sappho's bright despair. Paper remembers old Mosaic law, And footprints of those birds we never saw. -- They Look For The Right Answers He tells how one smart librarian, to focus attention on the vital part that a public library plays in the life of a community, induced members of a camera club to take color slides showing the many uses of books. Selected Kodachromes were used in a slide-show. Given before luncheon clubs and other groups it gave citizens a clearer idea of the part played by their library. "What seemed to impress everyone," wrote Mr. Barnes, "was the great variety of activities for which the library books furnished useful helpful knowledge. "There were pictures of people engaged in every conceivable hobby and do-it-yourself activity, from flower arranging, weaving and painting to pottery making and boat building, not to mention the interesting shots of students griding out lessons, business researchers trying to find the right answers, and so forth." -- Because they appreciate the value of books, officials of The Port of New York Authority have made it possible for ill employees to request the company librarian to send any books of their choice to their homes. Our hope is that eventually we'll have a public library system in Florida which will fill the book needs of all its people - those who are ill and those in good health.
