COUSIN OF LOCAL MAM WRITES OH ALASKAN QUAKE John Barry of 2403 Manor Lane, Eastwood Manor, is in possession of a letter written by his cousin in Anchorage, Alaska, to his parents immediately following the devastating earthquake of recent weeks. We quote, in part, from the letter: "It started very lightly and grew in intensity until the whole house was jerking and pitching violently for about two to three minutes. Then gradually it subsided and all was quiet for awhile. We stayed inside the house during the quake, comforting the children and one another as best we could. We then \yent out into the back yard, where we sat in the car until things quieted down. You can't in the wildest stretch of your imagination realize how awesome and: fearful a thing like this is. "The new J. C. Penny store ("five stories of concrete and steel i was reduced to rubble The earth split open and swallowed complete homes and left others strewn as if you emptied a box of wooden matches on the floor. The ground heaved 15 to 30 feet high in some areas and sank 15 to 30 feet in others. Large buildings with basements, you can now walk into the second floor from ground level. "Cars were smashed like tin cans as huge pieces of concrete and steel fell" from the buildings. The damage in Anchorage alonge is $250,000,000."

Anyone wishing a telephone number in Chicago or its suburbs can dial direct to the Chicago information center by dialing 1-312-555-1212. There is no change in the present method of calling local information by dialing 411. The new service, according to Chief Operator Mrs. Margaret Barton, will benefit all those who call Information. "Sinee a substantial portion of calls to Information are for Chicago area numbers," Mrs. Barton said, "the new direct dialing service should take a considerable load off our local operators. This means quicker answering. And, folks who dial direct to Chicago will talk with an operator who has all the 312 calling area numbers at her fingertips." She pointed out that Chicago area numbers require a longer "search time" for local operators. This accounts for the occasional slow answer condition when McHenry phone users now dial 411. She added that Illinois Bell will watch closely how the change affects speed of answering and quality of Information service here and in Chicago. Instructions on how to call both Chicago and local information will be included in the new McHenry telephone directory which will be delivered later this month. Mrs. Barton said that there is no charge for calls to any information center.

Our libraries -- public, school, c°"e8e> private make it possible for us to share the experiences of the world that was and the world that is. , They also provide youngsters" W^h guidelines toward the intricate and complicated world of; the future. Late President John F. Kennedy before his death wrote: "I hope very much that National Library Week will have widespread citizen participation and that it will serve to encourage all of us to improve libraries and to stimulate reading throughout the nation." , In our dynamically changing society, libraries have an increasingly important role. First, they are essential to students of all groups. With increased leisure resultlhg from automation, libraries also offer a treasury not only of reading solely for pleasure but of information on hobbies, avocations, and ways to become better and more informed citizens. For senior citizens, years of retirement can be truly golden years with the aid of libraries and trained librarians.
