Petti- grew of the Sears-Roebuck Foun- dation’s Los Angeles office, at a banquet in the Baranof Gold Room Tuesday night It was a Rotary over by Rotary President Ellis Reynolds. Mr. Heintzleman, Ro- tarian, was program chairman for the meeting, arranged the banquet, and told of the growth of the idea for the circulating library for the small communities in Southeast Alaska. With Mr. Pettigrew, western -ep-| resentative of the Foundation, a plan of operation was worked out Library lists were made by Juneau and Ketchikan librarians, Mrs. Ed- na Loman and Mrs. R. E. McE! derry, with the aid of Mrs. Be Ellinger, education specialist, Al- aska Native Service, and Mrs Dorothy Novatney, director of ed- ucational work, Alaska Depart- ment of Education. Now 1600 books, believed to be satisfactory and ap- propriate to their use make up the 20 circulating libraries that will cover 20 communities in south- east Alaska, Mr. Heintzleman ex- plained. Boats Will Circulate Books The libraries will becirculated by gas boats, and the cases, which were on Glsplay have been especial- ly designed with the double pur- pose of easy carrying and displa; Ann Colman, retired city lib ian of Juneau, divided the 1600 books into sets for distribution. A group of women typed the 5,000 or more index cards. Distribution and| rotation of the library units will be in charge of George Haen, of the Forest Service, and will be handled by Fish and Wildlife Ser- vice boats, by the Forest Service, the Princeton-Hall and the Salva- tion Army boat. [ “This is just a beginning and we hope to serve ten or fifteen m towns with as many more libnu-‘ ies,” Mr. Heintzlemsn said. | Contribution to Culture First speaker introduced by My Heintzleman was Gov. Ernest Gruening who saw in the circul- lating library an end to isolation, one of the problems of Alaska and its communities. “I know of nothing that will contribute more to happiness and cultural improvement than the ability to exchange thoughts through books,” he said and “Thanks to Sears-Roebuck and to Frank Heintzleman this worth- while accomplishment is under- way.” Jack Sherman, Ketchikan Rotary, meron the party, presided Vice President of expressed the | pleasure of his club in taking part‘ | in this important project. Harry Douglas, mayor of Hoonah | and grand president of the Alaska Native Brotherhood, predicted that the circulating library would save money for the men in the outly-i ing towns. “Now our wives, instead | of reading Sears catalog and| spending money, can read a book that Sears has given us.” Appreciation from Kake Frank Johnson, legislator and prominent resident of Kake, ex- pressed “appreciation of the efforts of all who are taking part in this movement.” “I figure that the circulating ! wife who always looks so smart! c ! 7o have found out that faer drycleaning costs so little and buys_so much. “for better appearance” Phone 507 TRIANGLE CLEANERS “Cravenette Headquarters” RRRRRARRIRT of adult libraries will provide a means of taking college and secondary ‘(hrvnl, into the villages of Al they will prove an ucational force,” said Mr Ellinger The a separate the commercial operation of the company, explained Mr. Pettigrew “The cir ating library was n thought of ars,” Mr. P elopment im Mll nl- Bertl 1\ s-Roebuck Foundation j entity, divorced from said, “but a de through he aid of Mr. Heintzleman of a | ary need of your communities | Mrs nized by your own minds have permitied us a privilege working with you James C.
