Murdock Library Growing Venture A project taken over three years ago has developed into a well-established institution at this time. The Murdock Library, for merly sponsored by the E. L. C. E. organization of the Evangelical church, was taken over by the Four Square club which appointed Mrs. Henry Tool as librarian.

These books, almost without ex ception, are contributions from pri vate libraries of friends interested in promoting a worthwhile insti tution. Additional books in circu lation are those sent out by the Nebraska state library every three months, one hundred books of cur rent edition being supplied at a time. Current best sellers are con stantly being added. Several new books, dedicated to the memory of Mrs. Tool b y friends and organizations of which Bhe was a member. are being pla ced on the shelves. Popular magazines carried i n the library include: Holiday, Hy geia. Readers Digest. Jack and Jill and donations of Time, Life Colliers, National Geographic. Lad ies Home Journal and others. To replace the loss fo the li brarian. Mrs. Tool, a library board has been named as follows: Mrs. Irene Elseman, Mrs. Esther Amg wert, Mrs. Henrietta Lupardis and Mrs. Emma McHugh. The sponsors have endeavored to make the library self-sustaining by means of membership fees, fines and scrrf drives. The library room, allowed the board bv the Firemen's organiza tion, will be open Wednesdays and Saturdays between 3:00 and 4:30 p.m. with a librarian in charge.

It was a feeling he had first known as a lanky, tow-headed kid, in the darkened bedroom cf a Strange house where his aunt and tincle had taken him after his mother's f uneraL He had been try ing hard not to cry, rubbing his eyes with grimy small knuckles. Fighting the waves cf loneliness and grief sweeping over him. In the midst of all that misery lie had overheard the aunt and uncle talking about him. They hadn't kept their voices down, they hadn't known or cared whether or not he could hear. They had called him "her brat" and talked about a "home" and then something about insurance money and if they wanted it they'd have to keep him And so he had known he wasn't wanted. And this tight hard feeling had come then. It had never left him until he went into the Army. The Army had been fine for Red. He had been accepted there for what he himself was and what he could do. And because he was nat urally high-spirited and liked fun, because he was fast with his fists and had a reckless swift courage the men he trained with had re spected and liked him, Everybody had been his friend. And in that atmosphere cf cam araderie Red had expanded. He had become a man, sure of himself and his place in the world. Now that sure fine confidence vas lest.

And becatre cf it he became more rude and eherlish. He di dn't even pretend to be civil to Elise any more. When he had to speak to her he'd preface his remark with Liz or "Babe" cr Sister" be cause he knew she hated the terms. The week cf the final examina tions for the quarter arrived. Red's hours at the laboratory that week were irregular. He came in and worked whenever he had time to spare. And so it happened that he came in about 3 o'clock one afternoon the day be'd taken his final exam and walked up to Euse and waited Xcr her instructions. T7TJSE looked up from a test tube sen burner and met his stony gaze. She jerked her bead in the direc tion of the door to the front offices. "Mr. Condon wants to see you he said to tell you as soon as you came in" came in. "You mean the Old Man?" Yes," Elise said, compressing her lips into a thin line. She won dered if there was some pathologi cal reason why Red McFan could never speak of anyone with a measure cf respect. Red stalked off without a word of thanks to her for relaying the message and Elise locked after his broad disappearing back. She had thought seriously sev eral times lately cf asking Russel to have Red assigned to work with one of the other chemists in the laboratory. She felt that the irri tation he caused her was really be coming detrimental to her work. But she hadn't spoken to Russel about it largely because relations between them were strained. They weren't back on the old footing cf easy friendship which Elise had so hopefully desired. Elise was learn' I ing slowly and reluctantly that O. O. F. was held Tuesday night at the lodge hall. Officers elected for the ensuing year are Ira J. Bebb, noble grand ; Frank Roy Ca rey, vice grand; Wm. H. Ofe, sec retary; LeRoy F. Tlustos, treas urer.

"CIT down. Red, sit down Arthur Condon said genially when Red entered his office anj waved to a chair beside his desk. He offered a cigar which Red declined with, "Thanks. If ya don't mind, I'd rather have one of my own cigarets. "Certainly. Certainly," Arthur Condon said. They both lit up and for a mo ment there was silence between them. Condon's face was lined with worry and he had the air of a man with something important to say and yet hardly knowing how to begin. Finally he looked up and di rectly at Red. His question was abrupt. -Red, do you know what's wrong with Russel? What's on his mind, I mean. There's something bothering him." Red was surprised. "No Mr. Condon, I don't. As a matter of fact I haven't sen much of Russ lately. You know chocl keeps me pretty busy. I've been studying for the finals." Arthur Condon shook his head somberly. "The thing is, Russel's nerves have been bad ever since I he came home. But he's much worse now. I'm I'm afraid he's going to crack up completely. I don't know what the trouble is . . . he never talks to me except about things here at the factory. I thought maybe you'd know . . . Do you want me to talk to him?" Red asked finally. Condon considered. Suddenly he said: "This is the end of the quar ter, isnt it? How kng will you have off from classes?" About 10 days, Red told him. "How about you and Russ tak ing a trip? Uoing off some place where you can be together for a few days. Maybe you could find out what the trouble is." "WelL I" Red began. I'U pay all expenses," Condon went on persuasively. "Red, you would be doing me the biggest favor possible, if youll help me out cn this." (To Be Continued) Mrs. Mary Eaton, Miss Naomi Day and the honoree, Mrs. Lois Bestor.
