“We’re sittin' and Knittin’ for
Bundles for Britain” runs a new song
and women of OUR TOWN are
certainly sittin’ and Knittin’ if not
singin’ , . . We predicted there
would be a stampede for wool to
knit, and there was! all the wool was
taken out the day it arrived. A new
shipment is expected this week . . .
A postman in Vermont knits in his
spare time, iwaiting for the mail train
to come in, completes one sweater
in five days .... A bridge club in
New York has invented a game called
London Bridge. Each time a player
fails to make his conttract he must
drop a nickel in the coin box for
Bundles for Britain . . . Two little
girls in OUR TOWN are giving three
cents a week from their allowance
. . . What are YOU doing? ....
All roads led to the County Library
last Saturday when the Library
celebrated its fourth anual Birthday
Party .... Always a joyful celeb-
ration, to a few women who have
watched the stounding growth of the
Library it is almost a miracle . . .
For this little group of women “knew
her when” she was only a dream;
know her when she finally became a
reality, but a rather poverty-striken
one, knew her when there were far
more spaces than books on the
shelves; knew her when just to keep
her alive meant almost weekly fren-
zies of rummage sales, benefits, etc
. . But by this time they knew
she would live. The real travail was
in those early days, starting in 1935,
when they were trying to make the
public want a library as they wanted
one, and then the months of door to
door, store to store canvassing for
funds; added months of trying to
find a place to build, and a plan to
build with very little money ....
And there was the day when, the
building actually completed, he shops
in Nuevo Laredo were combed for
bargains in furniture, and the sus-
pense of the half hour spent with an
obdurate customs officer iwho did not
want to allow the furnituhe to leave
Mexico duty free . . . Small wonder
that there is a gala celebration each
year, for this little Library is known
throughout the state as one of the
most attractive buildings in Texas...
and it is gradually becoming known
as a place where books on many sub-
jects may be had, and where refer-
ence and help on any problem is
. .May we make a
nomination for People We are Glad
We Know? — This week’s vote, and
we hear seconds from every direction
goes to that charming lady, who, in
addition to being a model mother,
wife, daugher and sister, indispen-
sable to her family, has time to give
so happily of her talent to the whole
community ... A song by her is a
treat on any program, but the special
interest in this is that she is claimed
by three churches: Episcopal by
membership, Baptist through her
husband’s affiiliation and Methodist
through her membership in that choir
. . . and Virginia Edds sings as
graciously for one as the other, songs
which reflect the truly lovely char-
acter behind the voice . . . The
White Queen in Alice in Wonderland
says, “Jam yesterday and jam to-
morrow, hut never jam today” ....
That won’t help sweeten your bread
today or ever, because it always IS
the present, and tomorrow’s jam
won’t do any good. . . . Which is
just to say tha t what you do for
Britain is of no use unless you do it
NOW* .... Bundles for Britain
meets every Tuesday morning at
noon at Headquarters . , . Surely
we can equal in generosity the cou-
rage of a people who, in the face of
a tragedy unequalled in history, can
still preserve their humor .... a
people who go to sleep in air shelters
which they know are no longer shel-
ters if there is a direct hit, and upon
the walls of 'which are signs “If your
knees knock, kneel on them.”

What a blessing the telephone is! You can
speedily summon a doctor in ca&s of illness; you
can chat with friends at leisure; and you can shop
at your convenience. There is no need to leav:
your home during inclement weather, nor wh^n
you are indisposed. The telephone connects you
with the world; when ever you desire to use it a*
such. Shop more by phone; it is opportune and
satisfying.

ONE SOUR NOTE...
but it’s a great orchestra nevertheless
Even a great orchestra will make a
musical mistake once in a while. And
once in a while... out of the thousands
of decent, law-abiding beer retailers in
Texas . . . you’ll come across one
or two who operate disreputable estab-
lishments.
These ‘‘black sheep” retailers con-
stitute a tiny minority. Yet they tend
to drag down the good name of beer.
By arousing public indignation, such
undesirable retailers endanger your
right to enjoy good beer. They also en-
danger the benefits to the public that
beer has made possible.
For example, in Texas beer has
created 31,165 new jobs with an annual
payroll of $22,076,182 and paid
$2,273,968.64 in taxes last year.
The brewing industry wants “black
sheep” retailers eliminated entirely. You
can help us by patronizing only the
reputable, legal places where beer is
sold. And by reporting irregularities to
the duly constituted law enforcement
authorities.
