The SCS is working with Soil
Conservation District Cooperators
this summer by running field
trials to determine the amount of
water being put into the soil at
each irrigation. This information
will furnish data that can be used
by farmers and SCS personnel in
developing better irrigation sys-
tems to help conserve water, pro-
duce larger yields and show how
efficient each irrigation system is.

dren.”
Friday, July 19, at 4:00 p.m. a
picnic at the City Park marked
the close of the reading club
season for the Groom readers.
Twenty-three children and five
adults attended the picnic, where
games were played under the di-
rection of Mrs. Billy Burgin and
Sue Neal. Sack lunches and soft
drinks were the refreshments for
the evening.
Sixty children from Groom
joined the reading program. Thirty
children received reading certifi-
cates. They are as follows:
Andrea Bivens, Lynette Bivens,
Judy Brown, Dondra Burgin,
Johnny Burgin, Peggy Sue Chism,
Sandra Clark, Stanley Clark,
Terry Cornett, Gaylen Frederik-
sen, Lannie Frederiksen, Dianna
Friemel, Bob Garmon, Joe Homer,
Jimmie Carl Jones, Barbara Koet-
ting, Brenda Koetting, Joyce Koet-
ting, Patsy Koetting, Larry Lam-
berson, Brad Major, Kyle Major,
Mary Mansel, Joan Neal, Elaine
Pearce, Donna Marie Smith, Anita
Stamps, Larry Stephens, Alice
West and Shirley West.
A child was required to read 15
books to qualify for a reading cer-
tificate. A pre-school child was re-
quired to 'have 15 books read to
them by an older person.
Circulation for the six weeks
and three days of the reading pro-
gram was 1,395. Children enrolled
in the reading program checked
out 899 books.
Dianna Friemel, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs Ted Friemel, read more
books than anyone from the
Groom Library this summer. She
headed the roster with 71 books as
her final tally. Stanley Clark,
sixth grader, came in next with a
score of 66 books. Stanley is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Clark.
Nearly all of the children who
received reading certificates read
far beyond their books.
Mrs. Floyd Knight, librarian and
Mrs. Melvin Asberry, assistant li-
brarian, wish to thank everyone
who helped with the program in
any way.
They especially appreciated the
following ladies who. acted as
story-tellers:
Mrs. R. T. Foster, Mrs. J. R.
Carney, Marjorie Bural and Sue
Neal. Their thanks also goes to
Rev. J. Walter Davis, Bobby Cor-
nett and Mrs. Sanford Johnson for
helping with the films and Mrs.
Glen Smith for taking charge of
the refreshments for the picnic.
