Bookmobile Is Planned For Grade School Children This Summer Plans for providing a Bookmo- bile, or traveling library, for the &rade school children of Key West are nearing completion. Acting on the suggestion made by three first grade teachers from the Poinciana School, a committee of parents, teachers, club members and civic group representatives is studying the problems which ac- company such a project. It is intended that the children’s bookmobile will make books avail- able free of charge to all the grade school children of the community during the summer months, when the school libraries are only open an hour a day. The committee hopes that the bookmobile will instill in the young- sters an urge to read good books. These books will be chdsen keeping in mind the vocabularieS’ of the els, -In this way, the committee feels that the reading ability of the child who falls behind his school classmates in school will be im- proved. They likewise feel that the child who reads well for his age will thus be able to- maintain his ability through the summer months. The bookmobile will tour the city, making regular stops as stipu- lated points in all of the school areas, as well as in such areas as Sigsbee Park, Stock Island, Rest Beach and Peary Court. The route will be published when it is definite. Many problems still confront the committee. The truck is still to be procured, books are being gathered, and must be cata- logued. The school authorities have offered to furnish a headquarters for the bookmobile where the necessary work can be done and to store books not being used, and also to provide storage for all of the books during the school term if the bookmobile is not operating. Sufficient funds must be raised to cover the expense which will be incurred for gasoline, library sup- plies, and for the salary of the driver-librarian. Some monetary assistance has been pledged by representatives of the various men’s clubs of the city, but donations for this project would be more than welcome in order that the best in reading material can be procured for the children. Funds may be sent to the Chil- dren’s Bookmobile Fund in care of Paul J. Sher, Duval Street.

Servicemen Hear ‘Silhouette Lady’ Last Thursday On Thursday: evening of last week a number of servicemen ga- thered in the spacious living room of The Servicemen’s Christian Cen- ter at 620 Southard Street where Phoebe Hazlewood, the ‘‘Silhou- ette Lady” gave an illustrated lec- ture. She outlined briefly a history of the art dating from 1699 when the first silhouette was cut by a wom- en named Pyburg in England. Others were named who were res- ponsible for the continued’ interest in the art, chief among these a Frechman named August Edouart who was proclaimed the best of his time. In 1885 as a child of two in Iowa, Phoebe Hazlewood began to shown an’ interest in scissors and began cutting objects that had form. Her interest in paper has not diminish- ed. In the lecture step by step, she traced the development of the art with scissors. First the paper doll, then later a horse’s head and later still the whole body of the animal. Mrs. Hazlewood took several cas- es of pictures to show the men who ‘were much pleased and very Tesponsive. After the lecture, she cut a por- trait in silhouette of each person present. Also at this time Mrs. Hazlewood presented to the Center a painting on glass which she had done of Miguel Marsical who has so generously given of his musical talent for the enjoyment of the ser- vice men. A few years ago The World Ma- gazine of The Chicago Evening Post carried a story of her life. When Mrs. Hazlewood went to see President Coolidge at White Pine Camp, New York, where she made his whole figure portrait as well as bust, Pathe News made Portraits of Mrs. Hazlewood as she was cutting. Mrs. Hazlewood is well known in the art world hav- ing appeared in Who’s Who in Art in America’ and also lectured be- fore the Congressional Club in Washington, D@: Her glass paintings were placed m the:Coreoran:Art Gallery where she had the unusual honor of hav- ing then altvsold: She has made many silhouettes of famous people, such as Ruth Bryan Owen Rhoda, Senator Cope- land, Congressman Culkin, Bob La- all Guards, Bond Volunteers, Cal- liopean Literary Society, Pre-Me- ay Society, and The Round Ta- ie.
