The Democrats claim that such bad

FOR LIBRARY IN .
CAMPTONVILLE:
(By MRS. RITA DAVIS )
Gold Pan Lodge, Camptonville
A large representative’ group of
men and womén met at the MarysLi
ville court house on Saturday, March
7, to make plans for the county’s
campaign to acquire the most highly
prized possession of .an intelligent
community—a free county library
system.
Yuba is one of the twelve norththe entire state of

in advance of ours, they make us appear either very unaggressive or entirely uninterested in the welfare of
our communities in: general and of .
our-own families in particular.
What kind of books are the young
people in your home reading? It,
may be a revelation to you to -discover that they are quite often very
objectionable, glorifying crime, immorality and indecency; filling}
young minds with material of such
shocking nature as to lead, in some
cases, to lives of grave unhappiness.
How can.you cultivate in them a
taste for the worthwhi® things in
life? By opening to them the gateway to fine ideals of manhood and
womanhood through the medium of
an easily accessible influence—good
literature. :
Is not at least one adult member
of your family interested in some
particular branch of industry—mining, lumber, chemistry, mechanics,
science, the arts,’ music, handicraft
or any other specialized field of endeavor too numerous to mention
here? Go to your local library. You
can get books on any subject for the
asking.If it is not on hand, it will
be obtained for you, usually within
a few days. You vay nothing, for the
service. The library is yours. The
librarians want to help you, cooperating with the state library to supplement what the county library may
lack.
The taxpayer is, of course, most
concerned. ‘How much will the library tax amount to?’’ is the uppermost thought in his mind. The answer is—less than a year’s subscription to a five cent weekly magazine.
The annual rate will not be more!
than at fifty five cents per thousand
dollars of assessed valuation. What
a small amount to pay for a necessity
of such vast. importance to a community.
How can you get a library branch
close to you? Merely by telling your
supervisor that you want it. That
is all. Each individual of voting age
should immediately send him a postecard, or tell him personally that you
want a free library branch in your
vicinity. Petitions are also being circulated. Sign them!
