William Lybrand
Is Book Donor

Mr. William M. Lybrand, Jr.
recently donated seventeen
books to The Slater Library.
These volumes, touching a va-
riety of subjects, will prove
especialy helpful to the stu-
dents who use the community
library, and to other readers
with specific reading tastes.

Six of the books given by Mr.
Lybrand are written by O. Hen-
ry, famous writer of short
stories. The titles included in
this O. Henry collection are
''The Gentle Grafter,'' ''Op-
tions,'' ''Cabbages and Kings,''
''Rolling Stones,'' ''Whirli-
gigs,'' and ''The Trimmed
Lamp.'' O. Henry's stories are
constantly in demand by teach-
ers and students of literature,
and it is hoped that the local
school will use these collections
freely.

Another one of the books
donated by Mr. Lybrand is the
famous Robert Louis Stevenson
volume, ''Kidnapped.'' This
classic is a favorite among juv-
enile readers, and will eb en-
thusiastically welcomed by the
older memebrs of the Boys' Li-
brary Club.

The other ten books given by
Mr. Lybrand are a part of a
series known as ''The World's
Greatest Books.'' These vol-
umes deal with such subjects
as Poetry and Drama, Science,
Modern History, Ancient and
Medieval History, Religion
and Philosophy, Miscellaneous
Literature, and Travel and Ad-
venture.

Mr. Lybrand is a veteran of
World War II, and is an em-
ployee of Slater Manufacturing
Co., Inc. At the present time,
he is enrolled as a veteran
trainee in the Weaving Depart-
ment of our plant.

In behalf of all the readers
who will use these books, the
librarian expresses apprecia-
tion to Mr. Lybrand for donat-
ing this collection to the li-
brary.

Donation Made

tributes substantially to the
milk fund of the local school,
which provides wholesome milk
to each pupil each day at a
nominal cost. The Slater Man-
ufacturing Co., Inc. also is al-
lowing the school to use three
classrooms in Slater Hall, the
recreational building of the
Slater Manufacturing Co., Inc.

Considering the fact that ap-
proximately 76 percent of the
taxes paid in School District
12-B, which is the Slater-Mari-
etta School District, are borne
by the Slater Manufacturing
Co., Inc., it can be seen that
Slater officials are doing every-
thing in their power to provide
local children with the best ed-
ucational advantages possible.

Trustees of the Slater-Mari-
etta School District are: J. A.
White, Chairman; Robert H.
Atkinson, Secretary; and D. P.
Bates.

comotion have improved great-
