BATTERY SERVICE IN BORNEO JUNGLE "A USL service station in the jungles of Borneo? That would sound rather ridiculous, wouldn't it?" said the manager of the Automotive Electric Co., of the local USL service station representative for this section in the course of a discussion of storage battery problems with a representative of this paper today. "The fact is," he continued, "that too many motorists in our own country are still in the jungle on matters pertaining to the care and upkeep of their storage batteries. They are wandering about aimlessly in the darkness of battery misunderstanding. They only see daylight when they accidentally stumble upon a USL service station signboard." Perhaps it may be better from the viewpoint of some service stations to keep them groping blindly jungleward, but this is not the case with me, nor with the service station I represent. The automobile-driving public should have, at least, a fair knowledge of the storage battery. They know their motors; why do they neglect their batteries?" THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DE ALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA EXANDER INSPECT TO SPEED-WAGON PREPARE TO MAKE USE OF LIBRARY Feeling that a definite step toward the materialization of the county free library has been taken with the appointment of Miss Anne Bell Bailey, of Redwood City, as librarian, the fourth district Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher associations are formulating plans and ideas that will make the library accessible to all of the rural districts. According to Mrs. Earl Morris, of Santa Ana, one of the prime movers in the long fight waged before the supervisors for the establishment of the institution, branch libraries will be established wherever they may be desired. Miss Bailey, the librarian, will make her headquarters in Santa Ana, but will be a frequent visitor to each town in the county have already pick-branch library. Some of the smaller ed an office or home that will be utilized as a branch library. The Santa Ana headquarters has not yet been decided on. It is not known at this time just how many books will be ordered to form the nucleus for the library. This is a matter that is to be left to the discretion of the librarian. The greater number of books, however, will be kept in the Santa Ana branch. Any book desired by a resident of the smaller towns may be had upon application, distribution being made free of charge. A tax levy of two cents on every $100 of assessed valuation will supply the necessary funds for the books and other expenses incident to the operation. be $1800 a year, this being the only library expense that will come out of the general county fund. Miss Bailey is one of eight women who were recommended for the position. Because of her excellent recommendations she was suggested for appointment by Supervisor Howard Wassum and seconded by Supervisor Schumacher. The battle for the library continued over a period of two years. About two months ago the project seemed lost when the supervisors voted to reconsider their resolution establishing the library. This step was taken after scores of letter had been received voicing objection to the library because of the additional tax levy. The fourth district Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher associations refused to back down however, and appeared frequently before the supervisors with arguments in favor of their project. This organization felt that it had won its final round when the supervisors last Tuesday appointed a librarian. Lead applause greeted this action. Supervisora Finley and Edwards have opposed the library practically from the outset because of the increase in taxation. Supervisora Talbert, Schumacher, and Wassum favored the project. In commenting on the establishment of a branch county library at Brea, Rev. W. E. Spicer, pastor of the Christian church, speaking for the community in general said: "It is with gratitude to the board and to the faithful work of Mrs. Earl Morris, president of the county Parent-Teacher association, and to Mrs. Charles Harvey, chairman of the library committee here, that the people..."

A tax levy of two cents on every $100 of assessed valuation will supply the necessary funds for the books and other expenses incident to the operating expenses. This tax levy applies to rural districts only and does not include incorporated cities, which have their own libraries. The tax levy will be executed some time in August and collections will follow in due course. Miss Bailey, recently appointed by the supervisors as the county free librarian, will take up her duties here on or about August 1. Her salary will have opposed the library practically from the outset because of the increase in taxation. Supervisora Talbert, Schumacher, and Wassum favored the project. In commenting on the establishment of a branch county library at Brenn, Rev. W. E. Spicer, pastor of the Christian church, speaking for the community in general said: "It is with gratitude to the board and to the faithful work of Mrs. Earl Morris, president of the county Parent-Teacher association, and to Mrs. Charles Harvey, chairman of the library committee here, that the people of Brea rejoice in the successful outcome of the county free library movement." Bresa people are in touch with many parts of the county and have wanted a county free library for all of the non-library districts, embracing, as they do, half the population of the county.
