University Lib
Receives Grant
Valued At $22,500
By Jim Sirmans
A grant-in-aid totaling $22,500
has been appropriated the Uni
versity by the Executive Com
mittea of the General Education
Board of the Rockefeller Founda
tion, to purchase books and jour
nals to strengthen research faci
lities ,of the University library
over a' two-year period beginning
with the forthcoming fiscal year,
it was announced by President
Caldwell’s office today.
The money is to be used for
the purchase of collections of
books and journals to support re
lsearch in the following fields:
English, German, romance lan
guages, journalism, history, poli
tical science, education, psycholo
-By, anthropology, archeology.i
biology, chemistry, mathematics,
pkysics, conservation and de
velopment of natural resources,
| agricultural husbandry, and in
i dustry.
“Procurement of books under
‘this grant will fill in the gaps in
the existing research collectionsl
which have been built in the li
brary”, said John Sims, secretary“
' to President Caldweil. |
i “This grant-in-aid”, said Mr.
{ Sims, “will *be matched by pro
visions in the regular University
budget, by ear-marking for pur
chase certain research colections.'®
Mr. Sims declared that the
Rockefeller grant will complete
the University’s program of aid
ing the graduate department. He
stated that it will ngw be possible
for graduate students to find
available in the University Ili
braries mor, of the research ma
terial required in the writing of
ltheses and doctorates. :
Legislation Banning
Dangerous Drugs
Favored By Wilson
Dr. Robert C. Wilson, dean
emeritus -of the University of|
Georgia School of Pharmacy, ex- |
pressed hope this week that the!
Georgia Legislature would see fit!
to pass proposed legisiation de
signed to restrict the sale of dan
gerous drugs.
These proposals, known as
House Bills 184 and 185, after re
vision in commitiee are expected[
to be considered next week. Ac~
cording to Dr. Wilson, the revis
ions make the bill acceptable to
all medical groups—dentists,
veterinarians, etc.
| This legislation was drafted by
la special committee of the Geor
gia Pharmaceutical Association |
headed by Dr, Wilson. It would
lgive the State Board of Pharmacy
the authority to restrict the sale
of sleeping drugs, sulfa drugs,\
_abortiafacient drugs, antifat pre
parations, benzedrine, and other
narcotics to doctors’ prescriptions
only. Provision is made for special
medical groups in obtaining such
| substances, however. |
‘ Such reforms are made nec
| essary, Dr. Wilson pointed out, by
~ the recent increase in the traffic
‘i of these narcotics, especially ben
zedrine. “This trade, if allowed to
- continue, can permanently ruin
| the health of hundrds of our citi
l zens,” he stated.
LIBRARIES TO CLOSE
| In order #hat all members of
the library staff of the Univer
sity may take advantage of spring
holidays. the libraries will be
closed March 21 and 22. The reg
ular schedule will be resumed

For Enlarged
Library Gaining
(Continoed From Fage One)
classes have little money with
which to buy books; and if not
given an allowance for such by
the school department, must de
pend on PTA prizes to purchase
a‘book now and then. Therefore
the modern, up-to-date public li
brary joins with the school and
the home in assuming responsi
bility for what the child reads. It
is an accepted fact among edu
cators that no one institution
should take over whole areas of
a child's training.
Through familiar contact with
a wide but controlled collection of
books in the library the child
finds food for thought and growth.
His imagination is fed by the best
reading that the world has to of-‘
fer.
“The influence of the children’s
department in a library is deep
and far reaching. A boy wishes
to build a dog house, and seeks
a book on carpentry in the library.
A girl goes there to find a book
on parties. Right now many re
quests are being made for infor
mation on “Benjamin Harvey
Hill,” since there is an essay con
test being conducted inl the schools
by the U. D. C. Both boys and
girls need the aid of books found
here in their school studies.
Careful Selection
“The public library hopes to,
and aims at providing, maintain
ing, and promoting professional
service to children in the entire
comimunity. This is done through
wise and careful selection of book
collections, guidance and super
vision in reading, deposits of books
in schools, welfare centers, stores,
hospitals, ete, and the circulations
made possible through the Book
mobile.
“Then, until such time as our
comimunity schools can establish
very good libraries organized and
financed by the Board of Educa
tion, or one that is planned and
financed jointly by school and li
brary, the public library remains
essential and important in provid
ing books and other material for
study and nvestigation in connec
tion with the curriculum; and will
always be a medium of making
books vital factors in children’s
lives, greatly aiding inh preparing
them for adult life.
“On March 25 we will have the
opportunity to vote on a $50,000
bond issue for the Athens Public
Library, to provide suitable quar
ters large enough to properly, and
permanently, house the library
and provide expanded public li
brary services to our citizens. Let’s
all cast our ballots for this im
portant bond issue.”
All of #ae half million organic
chemicals can be synthesized
from either petroleum, natural
gas, coal, or farm products,
