PUBLIC LIBRARY IN OLD CITY BUILDING The Public library is now located at the old City hall on West Central avenue, its temporary home during construction of the new library build. init on'the Laurel avenue property". Even while moving, the library continued to serve its patrons. "How can you'."' was a frequent question; but a desk librarian was on duty at each building in addition to librarians who were either starting books on their way or receiving them, and the telephone was working at the new lo- cation as an extension, so no one was refused service. VOLUME XIX On Thursday, the ehifdren's de- partment was operating as usual at the lihrnry building till closing time; that night the books were boxed; and the next morning, due tofhe oifteieney of Mr, Rafferty and his men-ond, of course. the librarians - children were borrowing books in the old council chamber which has become for the time an attractive children's library. . ' Anna-chm Ctr-operation The othér departments moved Mon. day and Tuesday, over 21,000 volumes being moved without a break in the library's regular work. , an hour before she had gent a check to pay for a lost library book. but the book had now been found and she wished her cheek held for her. She did not know whether her son had taken the cheek to the old or the new location. But in about a minute she was informed from the other building that her check was received and would be held. This is only one of many results of the careful planning of Miss Hendee. the librarian, and Mrs. Rubens. chairman of the house mmmittno. which kept all wheels turn- ine smoothly. Other Departments Move The library board is very appre- ciative of the promptness and ready co-operatiun of the local men who were called upon for cleaning and cal. cimining, shelving, and moving, men- tioning especially Mr. Witten, Mr. Berube, and Mr. Rafferty, with their respective helpers. all of whom show- ed a tine public spirit which aided in the promptnrsrrof the work. (Continued on mute an Patrons Served 'without Inter- ruption during Change; Appreciation In the midst of the moving, a wo- man telephoned the old building: that Highland Park Elks Lodge No. 1362 is planning a golf tournament to be held Friday, Aug. 22, at the Cnlum. bian Country club, on Milwaukee ave- nue, a mile north of Wheeling. Mem- bers and guests are invited ind a full day of golf is planned. Lockers, showers and other privileges are to be provided. All members are urged to turn out and enjoy a good time. Highland Park Elks To Have Golf Tourney The Highlauh W Dollar Day, yesterday, Iponlored by the Highland Park chamber of mom, with the eo-operation of most of the local merchants, proved to be a wholesale success. judging from early- reports and the general activ- ity noted on streets and in stores. It is too early to obtain a detailed re- port, but those who commented on the progress of the sales were highly pleased with the results yesterday. One merchant said he had sold more goods by 10 o'clock yesterday than during the whole of the previ- ous day, In a grocery store custom- ers were buying canned goods by the case. and some of them took several cases. it was reported, evidently de- termined to be forearmed against the predicted increase in prices of these commodities owing to the draught. Another merchant reported that practically all of the special sale ar- tides in his store had been disposed of by early afternoon. In other quar- ters reports were similarly gratifying. and the indication is that Dollar Day was a tremendous success in every way. General Announcement of Playground Events Plans for the tmeeifie events of Playground day are being worked on now by the playground directors, but the general program is fairly dehn. itely worked Out. The day has " ways been a summing up of the ac- tivities engaged in on the various playground throughout the season. and it has been an event looked for- ward to by both children and their parents. .
