Johnson, Xen ia, county savings bonds chair man, announces that the county has attained 99.6 per cent of its Independence Bond drive quota as of July 1. The formal accouni- ing period ends July 17 with all reports received by the Federal Reserve on or before next Mon day being included in final totals. County sales of 132,497 up to July 1 give it a ranking of sec ond in the state. Earlier this week it was announced that Athens county was the first in the state to exceed its quota and th a t the state had attained 67.6 per cent of its quota of $38,- 839,000. The plea for last-minute sales and reports by issuing agents was made* once more by State Director Merril L. Predmore in a statement at Columbus. “Des pite the many savings bonds drives,” he said, “we have found tha t many bond buyers and even some issuing agents are unaware that a brief accounting period always follows the formal clos ing of the drive. This year the accounting period ends July 17. I urge all issuing agents to make their reports in time to get them to the federal reserve by next Monday. AH issuing agents, in cluding banks for which Saturday, July 15 is not a business day, should mail their reports no later than Friday to insure inclusion of Independence drive sales in the final figures.” Greene Is Now Part of Health ServiceDistrict Greene county, as pa rt of the Southwest district which includes 14 other neighboring counties, is to have an amplified health service. The central office is located in Dayton. The step is made to bring the health department closer to the people of the state. Members of the district office will not provide direct public health service. These are the functions of the local health de partment. They will, however, provide assistance to the local health authority who is respon sible for providing public health services. I t was designed to make, such services as nursing and engineer ing, consulation, and laboratory services more readily available to the local health departments as well as to provide a headquar ters fo r the Ohio Department cf - Health personnel assigned to the district. Our basic objectives are to es- “ tablish minimum standards of service and operation for local health units, and to provide all possible assistance to the units in meeting these standards. The ultimate staff will include a medical officer, engineering and sanitation consultants, p u b l i c health nursing consultants, health education consultants, a records and administrative consultant, and sueh'others as might be need ed.. ’ GIVEN l e a v e o f a b s e n c e Mrs. Betty Hamman, fifth grade, teacher a t Cedarville, has been granted a one year’s leave of absence by the Cedarville town- sbtp board of education.

Rainy Weather Spoiled Hay Rain caught a lot ofdiay down in this area of Ohio, farmers say, and as a result methods of hand ling it are being discussed gen- erally. It is agreed that putting wilted hay in the mow is bad practice, and the present methods of mow drying is no£ successful, experts say. Field drying is necessary to at least a 40 percent moisture content, they say. More and more fanners are turning to grass crops, rather than to such staples as com and wheat, as such practices are be ing urged everywhere. In recent years there has been a great de velopment of hay-making ma chinery. But up to date r.obody has dome up with a sure method of hand ling wet hay with 100 percent suc cess.

LibraryFills GreatNeed InComunity OUR LIBRARY Its Value and Needs The greatest curse of the race is ignorance. Libraries are to civilization what beacon lights are to aviators, guide posts for safe' flight and safe landing, with this difference—the beacons le8(i to a mundane landing, the librar- . ies to one in the spiritual realm. How shall one reach a proper evaluation of the worth of a li- * brary in a community? A pro fessor of education told his class of an argument with a wealthy land owner uncle. It happened that a t a county cross road where the uncle owned all four comers, there stood a country school on one corner and a church on the other. The uncle m'aintairied they were not worth their cost to the community. After much argu ment the young professor posed this question; Uncle, if I Were able to reach down, pick up this school and church and remove them, with all they signify to the community, would you want me to do it? The uncle though a moment and then replied with an oath, No, I wouldn't when one stops to think he realizes the force of tha t Scripture tha t says, Man shall not live by bread alone. Illustrative of the high place ’of a library as a need for best living in a community, is the ex perience of the 90 families of Lonepine, Montana. These folk formed the first study group got ten together under the “Montana 'Sudy” plan, fathered by Chan cellor Erness O. Melby, or Mon tana University, to revitalize smalt towns.

Jacket Court duct "the services is Evangelist Mary E. Latham, who has earned a national reputation for suc cessful work as an evangelist and author of church and Sunday school books and tracts. Besides having charge of the revival services at the local church the favorite eveangelist will con duct a vaaction Bible school work shop for teachers. - a -*- ........... ........................;*■w-'Tfj ysw Mary E. Latham Mary E. Latham, evangelist and lecturer; is director of vaca tion Bible schools and weekday religious education for the church of the Nazarene with internation al headquarters in Kansas City, Mo. Ordained to the ministry in 1937, after teaching in the pub lic schools for some four years, she has devoted most of her time to the work of evangelism. A forcetful speaker, she captures* the interest of her audience by a unique approach to her subject. She frequently highlights her sermons with original chalk ilus- trations and always illustrates her talks to Sunday school work ers. When not engaged in active work in the. field of revivals, workers’ conferences, qte., she spends'Tier hime in editorial and promotional work in the depart ment of church-schools in Kan sas City. In addition to serving in these fields, Miss Latham has es tablished a churchwide reputa tion as a*writer for various Sun day school periodicals. She writes , “For Your Opening Service,” a regular monthly feature of the Bible School Journal, and pre pares Explore the Bible, work book for teenage youth to be used as class activity with Youth’s Quarterly. She is the author of Journeys with Jesus, Intermedi ate Teacher’s Manual and Pupil's Book for Vacation Bible Schools. Miss Latham is a graduate of Asbury College, Wilmore, Ky., where she received the A. B. de gree in education. She has done some graduate study a t the Uni versity of Cincinnati. Mrs. Wilson Retires As Local Teacher Mrs. Anna Wilson, mathema tics and language teacher a t Ce darville high school for the past several years, has retired from ■the teaching profession, it has been announced by the Cedarville township board of education. Mrs. Wilson, a native of the community, was graduated from' Cedarville college in the class of 1900. the effort was the establishment of a community library. Every one should read “Re member Our Friend Walter” by Paul Schubert in the July Read er’s Digest. It keeps one realizing we have not four but 400 free doms in America—and included is the privilege of access to the lore of the ages. John Milton in his defense of freedom of the press says, “ . . . a good book is the precious life—blood of a master* spirit, embalmed treasured up on purpose to-dlife" beyond life.” These good hooks are to be found in our library. Holy Writ says, where there is no vision the people perish. Who can estimate the value of a li brary to a community as' a means of ridding it of the ignorance that kills? Other articles concerning the library will be published a t a later date.
