Pays Old Debt to Library By Sending Four Books Miss Verna Leonard, librarian at the public library, received four books in the mail Saturday and therein lies a story. It all began about four years ago when certain articles start ed disappearing from the current magazine files. Miss Leonard dis covered that someone was clipping the articles against the rules of the library, but she was never able to catch the person respon sible. Then it was one day this last July. A young chap, well known to Miss Leonard, walked up to her and asked if she ever knew who had taken the clippings. She said she difnT know. "I took them, the fellow told her. "I've just realized I was wrong to do it and I would like to give you the money to replace the magazines." Miss Leonard explained that it was impossible to replace the ma terial he had taken. Well, the young fellow felt pretty bad about it. He hadn't realized at the time how much damage he was causing. He said he'd be willing to do almost thing if he could repay the But there was nothing Miss nard could suggest. The boy left then and a .short time later moved out of Tlatts mouth. Miss Leonard considered it a closed incident until sne re ceived a postcard from the boy saying that he was sending some books to the library in payment for the damage he had done to the magazines. The books arrived Saturday. There were four of them. . . .a leather-bound edition of Bryon's Poems, The Story of Dr. Wassell and two volumes of collected poems. drive by Bureau. Featured spekaer of the ing was Ct Y. Thompson, presi dent of the Nebraska Farm Bur eau Federation. His subject was ''We Farmers Look Ahead." Thompson laid the Farm Bur eau is important for two main reasons; it enables the farmer to know what is going on ar.d whxt benefits he can get, and it enables him to make his view point known to others. "The point I want to stress," Thompson said, "is that the far mer can't crystalize his ideas with out the bureau. We don't want the same drop in prices to come after this war that came after the first one. The farmer can well af ford to take time off from his regular work to see that those things don't happen again." Also featured on the entertain ment program was the Platts mouth high school quartet. The boys in the quartet were Bob Tri tsch. Kenneth Fitch, Keith Fitch and Kenneth Tiekotter. They sang two songs, a negro spiritual and a specially arranged bit of close harmony.
