CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAY JUNE 5,1936 PRICE, $1.50 A YEAR NEWSLETTER FROM STATE DEPARTMENTS GOLUMBUS.—Two special groups, o f books, one on Bports and the other popular novels which haye been made into motion' pictures, are.being fea turn! by the State library and are available to persons throughout the state by the library's traveling and circulation divisions, it was announced by Librarian Paul A . T. Noon. An unusually heavy demand fo r publics tions pertaining to sports o f all kinds has been created within recent months due to interest in the. Olympic games, and a new interest in old as well as more recent novels has been kindled by motion picture adaptations, Mr, Noon said. There are thirty-four publications in the sports field, with subject matter including tennis, swim­ ming. horsemanship, gdlf, fishing, archery, camping and sailing and yachting. Twenty-six novels which have been filmed with recent years T . are included in the other collection. ,c,Lists' on both cnllitetionsF.hmy h£ ob­ tained from the library. " Owners o f ponds, marshes and other bodies o f water have been called upon by Commissioner Lawrence Wooddell o f the state division, o f conversation to .join a water fowl refuge movement to increase the “ duckports” in Ohio- The envision will co-operate with the land owners' and will furnish plans for the establishment o f the “ duckports,” Mr. Wooddell said. In recent years the number o f -wild ducks and geese, in particular, has been diminishing rapidly, due largely to a . lack of proper refuges. In announcing the plan for more and better “ duckports,” the commissioner reported, that the di­ vision. o f conservation has consoli­ dated several bureaus under its juris­ diction in order to handle activities o f the division more quickly and with less red tape. No function necessary to conservation will be curtailed as a result o f the reorganization, it said.
