Bookworms Observe Library Week % v £ I This very studious appearing book worm took up residence in the Piaindealer office at a very appropriate time -- National Library Week, which is being observed April 12-18. The schol­ arly "worm", who seems not to mind doubling in two parts as book ends, is the artistry of Bookkeeper Mary (Mrs. Earl) Miller of Wonder Lake. Because of lack of floor space in Mc­ Henry's public library, there will be no spec­ ial observance of Library Week'locally. Those most interested in the library hope that an ad­ dition to the present building may become a reality in the foreseeable future. PLAINDEALER PHOTO Four special scholarships, in the amount of one thousand dollars each, will be granted this spring to upper classmen in Illinois colleges or universities who plan to become librarians. The awards program was announced by W. Clement St<me, chairman of National Library Week in Illinois 1970. The scholarships will be administered by the Illinois Library association. Dr. Frances Pollard, chairman of the Recruitment and Scholarship com­ mittee of the ILA, said all regularly enrolled students who will be juniors and seniors in Illinois colleges and universitites this fall are eligible. Winners will be chosen on the basis of merit, not just financial need. The deadline for filing applications is April 30. Applications and further information can be ob­ tained from the Scholarship Program, Illinois State Library Careers center, 35 E. Wackerdrive, Chicago. Librarianship is an exciting career, said Mr. Stone, who also contributed the funds which made the special awards possible. Librarianship is one profession which makes good use of all previous educational accomplishments. Because of the wide variety of available positions, qualified librarians can choose the geographical location in which they work, the subject field they enjoy most, the type of library, and the age group with which they like to work. And starting salaries are excellent, he said. National Library Week in Illinois 1970 will be ob­ served April 12 to 18.

Urge Residents To List Damages From Flooding - Please sit down for a few minutes and fill out a list of damages due to water which have happened to your property. The Lakeland Park Property Owners Association has mailed a form to each member which may be itemized and signed and returned to the city hall which is serving as a collecting point for all these statements. If you have not received a form from the LPPOA just make your own list and sign and return it. An estimate of the costs over the period of years is needed to make the case stronger to get passage of the bill which is before the General Assembly which will improve the creek running through the subdivision. Periodic flooding during the past ten years has caused much damage and it is felt that with improved drainage the sur­ rounding lands will dry out more and will improve septic service among other things. Fred Meyer has designated his willingness to collect all the statements and all we have to do is prepare and turn them in to him.
