at booth number three in the

Roy Parnell. For paying
check he got the privilege
naming the club, which thus far
consists of just three members -
Olene Mathis, Anna Belle Par-

the qualifications for joining are
few - three children, one hus-
band, forty acres south of any:

and an ancient typewriter. Any
takers?

py to introduce three
respondents this week, Mrs. Par-
nell, Mrs. Tommy Burleson and
Mrs. Eddleman. Mrs. Burleson
has already written the Edna
Hill news tgt two weeks now
under Lavonna Jones by-line,
partly because the machinations
at the D.jP.O. resist change.
Mrs. Edgemon sent in the news
from Lingleville for over fifty
years before she decided to
c)>eck in her pencil and move to
Dublin. Mrs. T. J. Wells report-
ed the School Hill News for over
ten years before turning it over
to Anna Belle.
While strolling past Sam
Selfs establishment Friday we
chanced to see Prof. Vestal lan-
guishing peacefully on Sam's
couch. Prof expressed Ms ap-
proval of the office equipment
at Sam's, and hinted broadly
that if only Poston's Feed Store
and Audrey Spencer's were as
Well furnished the daily routine

Would be much more- pleasant.
Teddy Eoff laid down his pica
pole long enough to pick up a
camera and head for the scene
of the Garden Club meeting,
only to find his snapping hand
loaded with garden shears and
himself appointed chief rescuer
of plum trees from web worms
when he arrived at Mrs. Ken-
nedy’s yard. Garden Club Pres-
ident Biney Gilbertson takes her
horticulture seriously and re-
fused to pose with parasites,
even In the larvae stage. In the
Interest of plum crops, Teddy
was glad to oblige.
As parents go we fail short of
even our share of preparing
posterity for the space age; how-
ever, there is one area of mod-
m living in which our children
are exceptionally well trained.
They are adept in the skill of
reading labels and directions,
and we take full credit for the
fact that nobody in our house
need go hungry for lade of the
ability to thaw a frozen pie.
Last week we sampled the
wares of the Legion Auxiliary
Bake Sale, which were savory
indeed. We brought home a ba-
nana cake with fruit topping
which began life in a mixing
bowl and not a box of cake mix
and was the culinary creation
of Martha Frances Johnson. No-
body could find the top to the
box and somebody carefully
covered the cake with a plastic
wrapper from something else
to take Its place. We woke up
Sunday morning to find a bright-
ly burning oven surrounded by
happy children who explained
that the directions on the label
said to bake 40 minutes in an
oven set at 375 degrees. There
is something to be said tor
roasted banana cake, but we
secretly believe it would have
been better cool and fresh.
We are eager to hear first
hand how Happ Tatum fared
flapping his own flapjacks last
week when Theola was ailing
and resigned from the kitchen
under doctors orders. We don’t
know how he managed the first
few days of K.P., but apparent-
ly he ended the stint by calling
in a couple of relatives who
were good cooks.

Dublin Public Library Will Observe Anniversary
Twelve Years Of Service To This Area Since 1952
officially opened with 650 vol-
umes on its shelves, most of
which had been donated by pat-
rons and friends of tlte new pro-
,ect. Today, 12 years later, the
Library houses a collection erf
almost 4,000 volumes, including
ten sets of reference books and
circulates between one and two
hundred books a week with cir-
culation running slightly higher
during the summer months.
Within the next few weeks the
Library, which is located In
Shamrock Park, will hold an of-
ficial observance of its 12th an-
niversary. Plans for the cele-
bration will be announced in the
near future, according to a
statement made by Miss Fran-
ces Clay, president of the Libra-
ry Board.
In announcing the anniversary
Miss Clay stated that the libra-
ry is a free public service, open
to any resident of the Dublin
area. During the years since its
official opening the library has
been constantly Improved and
brought up to date to supply the
needs of its readers and to pro-
vide the people of the town with
access to current and classical
literature.
Hie City Council officially ap-
proved a program to organize
and maintain a library within
the city at a meeting February
12, 1952. Immediately thereafter
a board was formed and Mrs.
Edwin Keller was elected presi-
dent. Mrs. Frank Edmonds
was elected librarian, a post

to serve in that capacity.
Other officers of the initial
bo a r d included Mrs. Everett
Colbom, Mrs. Henry Turney,
Mrs. C. E. Leatherwood, Miss
Frances Clay and Mrs. R. D
Burnett Other members of the
first board who were active in
securing permission to organize
and in acquiring and processing
the first volumes and equip-
ment with which to operate the
library were Mrs. Clayton Kel-
ler, Mrs. Norman Martin, Mrs.
Joe Reid, Mrs. Charlie Foust,
Mrs. Dick Harbin, Mrs. Bill
Gaines, Mrs. Francis Perry and
Mrs. Robert Crouch.
In its first year the library
was operated on a subscription
basis. Membership cards were
issued at $1 per family. Charter
members of the library and li-
brary board members made up
the funds necessary to maintain
the project.
In January of 1954 an area-
wide drive for funds was suc-
cessfully completed in which a
total of $330.50 was raised by
public subscription, and the li-
brary was made free to the pub-
lic. Under the chairmanship of
Robert Dale Burnett many citi-
zens of Dublin worked toward
the completion of this goal.
No Separate collection of funds
for the library has been .held
since January, 1964, as the Pub-
lic Library was placed in the
budget of the community chest
and still derives the major por-
The librarian and members
of the board have always as-
sumed the responsibility for the
operation and maintenance of
the Library and this policy holds
to the present time.
Miss Carolyn Colbom has ser-
ved as acting librarian during
the past several months, keep-
ing the library open when Mrs.
Edmonds is unable to be pres-
ent. The library is open on Tues-
day and Saturday afternoons
each week, and visitors are al-
ways welcome.
