Tlio correlation between regulai

nition to those who go through the
entire quarter without an absence
a list is published as an attendance
honor roll. This li3t contains 167
names for this Quarter or over hall
the entire student body. In Justice
to another large list of students who
have been absent but from a hal;
day to three days, it should be said
that this group has a very satisfac
tory absence record and in most
cases, the absence was unavoidable.

ter shows that less than ten pei
cent of the 340 students have been
absent more than three days. The

Plattsmouth
Public Library
Supplies Many
Local Institution Serves as One of
the Greatest Contributions to
Community Life.
The report of the Plattsmouth
Public Library for September, shows
that 3,314 books were exchanged
The daily average was 14S. New
borrowers were 94 in number.
A great many of these new bor
rowers are strangers who have come
here for work on federal projects. A
letter received by Miss Jones from
Miss Hutchings, Falls City, Nebras
ka, librarian contains the informa
tion that they follow the same plan
as Bhe does in regard to borrowers
who are not permanent residents of
our city. A small deposit is asked
of each borrower before books are
taken out. All are welcome to use
the library. Its resources help to
pass pleasantly many tedious hours
tor people who have not yet made
friendly contacts. We are glad we
have such an institution to help these
strangers feel more at home in our
community.
Most of us are so used to our li
brary and the service it gives us
that perhaps we take it too much for
granted. We borrow books and ask
for reference helps, forgetting that
they are our privilege more than our
risht. Every good thing must be
paid for, and the library is support
cd by all the tax-paying citizens of
our city. They are glad to support
it, for they realize that a well-man
aged library is one of the greatest
assets a city may have. It reaches
more people for their good, than
almost any other public institution.
Anything that anyone can do to fur
ther the work of the library, is a
thing done for.lhe; benefit of the en
tire community.
Aside from individual borrowers,
there are numerous organizations
and institutions using its service reg
ularly. For Instance, our public
schools, are probably Its heaviest
users. Without it, the Plattsmouth
public high school could not be an
accredited school, unless It Installed
a library of its own. Rural schools
rc likewise regular borrowers. The
Masonic Home receives a Email trav
eling library from our library, which
is changed at. regular intervals
Camp Plattsmouth uses it, through a
special arrangement made with au
thorities there.
All the various clubs and organ
izations of adults and young people
In the city use it at some time during
the year, either as groups or Individ
ual workers. It is for all, rich, poor,
all creeds ,all nationalities.
Reading would be a very expen
sive pastime for us if we had to sup
port our own Individual libraries
and keep them up-to-date. Few of us
could afford it. Suppose we did buy
one book a month. Most popular
fiction books cost at least $2.50. Bio
graphy and travel are usually more.
Our twelve books would cost us $30
at the lowest estimate. Then we
would want magazines. Perhaps for
$10 or $15 we could subscribe to
enough to cover our range of Inter
ests. In buying our individual li
braries we must consider our chil
dren, too. Children read a lot, their
interests change fast we would
have to educate ourselves on chil
dren's literature to buy for them at
all.
All this expense and problem the
library takes from our shoulders.
There wo may borrow 12, 24, 36 or
more books a year, depending on
our time and taste. There are maga
zines for every interest. There are
spread before our children the books
suitable for their ages and interests.
There, too, are the expensive en
cyclopedies, dictionaries. Who's Who,
Readers Guide and other reference
works that everyone finds It neces
sary to consult at some time or oth
er. What other Institution fills a
given need so completely?
THANKS TO VOTERS
I want to thank the voters for
the support given me at the general
election. Although I did not win, I
cherish the friendships I have made,
d&w J. R. REEDER.

denly came on them from the south,
the truck being apparently out of

Schneider car, rocking it badly. The
truck also narrowly missed the car
of the Misses Gering that was ahead
of the Schneider car and crashed into
the small parking near the Frank

apparently was able to get the car
under control and continued on north

again. The police have been check

the avenues of the city as many com
plaints of excessive speed as well as
recklessness have been received.
