*Don't try to play the "Emergency Labor Market" short. Don't merely "throm," work at the *"uiielnployel". as one might throw a bone to a dlog. There are men in WVilmette, Iiun- dreds of them, who want work just as certainly as a, hulngry. canine wants a bone, but it isn't- smart, or clever to pay a man less than a liv- ing wage, just bcaàuse onie '"ca:îget ail the men needed at that, figure.". Even the. slave holder of pre Civil1 war days. saw. to it that his slaves were assured at least food andi %heI- ter. Intereet lacreases Xilmette showed sorneý interest ini the "War Against Unemploynîent." during the past week, but I nmust ad- mit that it has not yet developed in- to anything. that looks like "fervor" or "excitement." ThIe comnmittec e~Arnestly appreciatestecoerin it bas rceived,_ but, folks, I believe that we can, really bring into the "picture" a lot more color than ive have put into it, and that it wil re- quire just that to. make it rt ".framîing." There is an outstanding illustration of the kind of cooperation hoped for, and of- what might bè done,. riglit here in Wilmette.. You will.find it in, the "I1600ý block" on Highland ave- nue-both sides of the street. That block put its hearts into the task, as well.as its heads and shoulders, long before the committee wvas organizcd to invite aIl of Xilmette to enlist, and it is continuing its interest. E. Eari 'McDow has succeeded in 'de- veloping ini bis blockc a "going" in- terest ini the Wilmnette MIan-a-Blç'ck plan,. that the commi-ittee would like to sec (uliiated in ever7.v block in Our to-wtf.

Johnson, 1616 High- In comparibg the two Augusts it was found that the use of books on banking, economîcs. investments, science and periodicals had doubled and great jucreases had been made in . philosophy, psychology, business> literatx'.r-e, travel and biography. There was an increa se of 30 percent in. fiction reading. With such, tremendous increases i the use of boks, 'the librarv trustees' are wondering ,hë%v they will mieet the heavv denîands1 of the..winter. A librarv in a village the size of %VVl- mette is etxpected to. have at. least one and one-haîf book per. resident. which inXilmette's- case would mean a collection of 22,950 books. Actually Wilmette has 16,965 vol- urnes, .and 5,000 of these are chil- dren's books. The interpretation of, these figures means that tlhe Chul- dren's roomn is superior to the 'stand- ard and that the Adult departffient is 30 percent below standard. Lib ra4ry Books Suffer' ýFroin Continued Usage The .Wilnîette public library has, beeni filling up the -chinks ini its. fic- tion collection by buying a number of, popular reprints. Tt: was, discov-, ered. after. the largest week s- circu- lation: that the shelves looked as though aý swarm of locusts had passed over. The increased use of the li- brary lias flot meant increased pur- chases of books,, and consequently, the wear and tear on the volumes on1 hand is se ding most of themn to an early grave.
