Sammie Baker vTravels'
As Bookmobile Operator
Has television seriously hurt the
reading habits of local residents?
"Not so," says Sammie D. Bak-
er, a Texas Wesleyan College
sophomore who's become ' an ex-
pert on the reading trends of Tar-
rant County citizens.
He helps thousands of city and
county residents satisfy their
reading appetites without leaving
their own neighborhoods.
Baker is an operator of a Fort
Worth Public Library bookmobile
four days a week, in addition to
his studies at TWC.
He concludes from his observa-
tions that television apparently
has made few inroads on local
reading habits.
"If a person wants to read and
§#S
likes to read, he will read regard-
less of "Dragnet," Baker stressed.
Actually, he pointed out, people
of Tarrant County are reading
more than ever, partly because
of the three bookmobiles which
fan out from the main library
like spokes. These bookmobiles
cover every part of Fort Worth
and Tarrant County.
From 900 to 1,300 books are
checked out each Friday when the
bookmobile stops at Westcliff
Shopping Center. This is just one
of various points in shopping cent-
ers and elementary schools.
"An average of 8,000 books are
lent out by the three bookmobiles
each week, Baker said, and 80 per
cent go to juveniles, youths high
school age and younger."
Baker has a tip for parents who
might be thinking of reading mat-
ter for small boys. Tom Sawyer-
type books have taken a definite
back seat to the currently more
popular science fiction books.
The TWC student noted that
persons rarely know what book
they want to read...
"People are easily influenced, I
have learned. When we suggest a
book, they almost invariably check
it out," he said.
Baker works eight hours a day
on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sat-
urdays and five hours on Fridays
in the bookmobile. There's plenty
of tinie^ to see who's reading what
and why.
SAMMIE BAKER, operator of
Fort Worth Public Library book-
mobile, is shown in working posi-
tion waiting for the next custo-
mer. 3aker, Texas Wesleyan Col-
lege so ihomore, has become an
expert on the reading trends of
Tarjrant County citizens, both
young and old.

Joyce Harvey, soprano,
panied by Edward Daniel,
presented in a senior recital Fri-
day at 8:15 p. m. in the Fine Arts
Auditorium.
"Happy is the man who has not
walked in the council' of the
wicked," was a theme stressed by
Rabbi Gerald J. -Klein, guest
speaker in the Fine Arts Audi-
torium Tuesday, January 10.
"The outward manifestations of
religion concern the average man
instead of the inner worship and
faith that should be his main in-
terest," declared Rabbi Klein j
whose address was entitled "Uni-
versal Significance of the Psalm Present "Mondnacht;" and "Ich

Literature."
Klein compared the worship of
material objects of this age with
the worship of graven images of
Biblical times. „
"Even though the language of
the Psalms is old-fashioned, it is
a persona] help today, because the
Psalmist was concerned with the
individual, not the times," said
Rabbi Klein.
Rabbi Klein was sent in connec-
tion with the National Federation
of Temple Brotherhoods and the
Jewish Chautauqua Society, an or-
ganization which sends rabbis to
college campuses as a part of ar
educational program to disseminate
authentic information concerning

'Gay Paree' Atmosphere
TJiemes Freshman Dance
A Paris street scene was the
setting for a dance sponsored by
the Freshman Class and held in
the Student Union Building Satur-
day night. French shops and build-
ings and lining the walls gave an
"fnteressant* Parisian atmosphere.
The most 'amusant' place was
"Smokey Joe's Cafe," advertising
fresh fish. 'Le restaurant' was
appropriately styled with fish-
shaped doors and windows. And
no street scene would be complete
witftout a French hotel, which was
called the 'Ram Inn," with 'les
portes' for 'le rat' and 'la cat.'
Monsieur Jack Martin was in
O
charge of the arrangements for the
dance. The decorations committee
was headed by Mademoiselle Mick-
ey Moyer, and Mile. Sylvia Mancil
was in charge of publicity.
