Expanded Library
Program Needed
Fourteen Georgia Counties
are wthout any type of public li
brary service. The national aver
age per capita for library sup
port is 52 cents. Georgia is now
| spending through both local and
state funds only 26 cents. The
minimum stanadard of financial
support as recommended by the
'American Library Association, is
151,50 per capita annually.
| While improvement of library
service in Georgia has been
rapid as is shown in a recent is
sue of “School Life,” official
journal of the U. 8. Office of
Education, and rural people in
‘126 counties have libm? serv
ice, interest in bookmobiles as a
. means of making library mater
ials easily accesible to the rural
populatioan is steadily growing.
Twenty-eight bookmobiles are
now operating in the state and
two additional ones will go on
the road this summer. All of the
State library programs need to
be greatly strengthened and ex
panded if library service is to
become an active educational
force in the state.
The Minimum Foundation Pro
gram of Education for Georgia
includes additional support for
library programs. The amount
recommended in the Foundation
Progam is inadequate to meet
the national standards, but it
will materially strengthen and
encourage library development
and is in line with the ability of
the State to help support this
educational service.

XXV :
Patience felt a rising excite
merit. The sun was shining. The
sky was blue. London was thrill
ing. And to think that she was
to be here for a whole week
end! :
“What are we going to do?”
she asked,
“Well, first we're going to the
photographer’s.”
“Why?”
“To get your photograph tak
en,”
She stared at him, i
“What on earth for?”
“Ah, that's telling.”
“Roger! Please! Don’t be mys
terious. Who wants my photo
graph?”
“I do for one darling. But I'm
not the chief person concerned.
The higher authorities are need
ing it.”
They had reached the car
now. He opened the door for her.
“Hop in,” he said, and as they
arove off: “There’s a shop in
Victoria Street who'vé promised
to get it through in half an
hour,”. He glanced sidelong at
her: “How’s your French by the
way?”
Her - breath -caught in her
throat. What on eanfM was all
this about?
| “I love you when you look be
‘wildered,” he said softly. “You're
‘}awiully sweet, Patience, you
know. Just what do you feel
about me as a point of interest?”
~_ Patience had been wondering
this herself quite often recently.
When Roger was with her it
sometimes semed that Paul was
forgotten. And then when she
was gone from him she Kknew
that this was impossible, Paul
was her first love, her real love.
But . Roger attracted her. And
when he Kkissed her — when he
touched her hand as he was
touching it now ~— yes, even
though they were driving
through the erowded London
streets—her heart raced against
her side.
“Well? he was saying. ‘“You've
not answered my question.”
“Tell me first what all the ex
citement is about?”
He grinned. .
“As I said—first the photogra
phers. And then—"
“And then-—oh, Roger! do be:
quick and tell me—" : l
“Then the passport office.
Luckily I ecan pull a few wires
and get it all through Wvery
quickly. Within a c¢ouple of hours
your passport should be ready.”
She gasped. Vaguely at the
back of her mind she’d an idea!
of what was going to happen.
But it was too exciting! Too ‘in
credible! And Aunt Helen would
certainly never allow it.‘%anly
Aunt Helen would never iriow.
At least not until it was over,
“Roger, you don’t mean—?"
“We're flying to Paris for the
week-end. On the first plane to
morrow. Don’t look so startled.
It's all quite respectable. Char
lotte, you and I are going, :and
you’ll be . back in London :on
Monday in time to catech your
precious 630 back in the even
ing." s * @
Patience awoke the next
morning, and lay quite still for
a moment, enjoying to the full
the lovely exciting feeling that
something really thrilling was
going to happen to her. Hasgtily
she stifled the little pang of ton
science that came to her as she
thought of her aunts. It was ab
surd to allow herself to worry
about them. Besides maybe she
could teil them all about it once
she was safely home again. :
And now here was Elizabeth
arriving with her early morning
tea. She sat up in bed.
“Is it a fine morning, Eliza
beth?”
' “Wonderful, miss.”
Patience sprang out of bed. She
took her tea info Charlotte’s
room to find her coming to life
with extreme reluctance.
" “Of all the ungodly hours to
wake up—" she stretched her
armis lazily.
“l always wake early.”
“Well, I warn you I don’t, and
when I'm made to I'm.invaribly
extremely bad tempered.”
Patience looked. at her warily.
“Would you rather I took my
tea back to my own room?”
“No. I'll put up with you. On
ly don’t be too chatty.” ‘
“It won't But don’'t lie there

too. lori{, or you won't be ready
when Roger calls for us.” i
“I'll be ready all right.” i
She wasn’t. She kept him wait
ing 10 minutes. Patience fretted
and fumed. She herself had been
dressed, and her suitcase packed,
for a long while.
. Roger, also waiting for Char-'
lotte with some impatience,
looked at her as she stood there, |
in a gray suit of Charlotte’s with
a fluffy little white blouse, and
a quite ridiculous hat, and said
with a smile: “Do you realize
how very much you're ta be'
envied?”
“In what way?”
“Because you get such a kick '
out of all this.”
“Aren’t you getting a kick out
of it? Isn’t Charlotte?” )
“Oh, yes. But it’s not the same.
We're not doing it all for the
first time)” He stood looking
down- at her an odd expression
in his eyes. “That of course, is
what I find so utterly enchanting
about you. You're so fresh and
unspoilt—"
Patience drew a little quick
breath. Her eyes danced.
“I thought you might find that
rather dull.”
“Dull! Don’t be silly. Here,
stand still! You've got a smut on
your nose.” He removed it with
a corner of his handkerchief.
And then dropped a light kiss
where it had been. “It's a very
nice little nose, incidentally.”
“Am I interrupting A some
thing?”
There was an edge to Char
lotte’s voice. She stood there in
the doorway looking utterly rav
ishing. She was completely the
finished article. Not a hair out
of place. Her make-up perfect.
Her suit of a soft beige woolen
material looking every bit the
fantastic extravagance it was.
ngger laughed easily.
“Nothing at all. Are you rea

behind United States policy tow
ard Russia.
Bluntly, the ambagssador put
the full blame for the current
state of world tension on what
he called RusSia's aggressive ac
tions in eastern Europe and
Communista efforts to grab con
trol of countries elsewhere.
No Hostile Designs
At the same time Smith re
assured Molotov that ‘“the Unit
ed States has no hostile or ag
gressive designs whatever with
respect to the Soviet Union.”
He added that if- Communist
minorities were to halt attempts
to seize power in non-Commun-~
ist lands “some of the manifes
tation of United States Foreign
policy: which apparently are un
welcome in Moscow” would halt
with them :
American officials, while cau
tious, noted that with Molotov’s
reply both the major postwar
antagonists now are on record
as willing to open talks looking
to a settlement of outstanding
differences.
These range over almost every
basic issue that has arisen since
V-E day—peace terms for Ger
many and Austria, the Jarshall
Plan, the scope of theé United
Nations, American efforts to
bolster Greece and Turkey, and
the future of Korea.
Part of the official caution here
stemmed from the Kremlin’s de
lay in delivering the teyt of Mo
lotov’s note, which was sSummar
ized on the Moscow radio be
fore it reached the State De
partment. B 2
The summary said Russia now
has a *“positive attitude” toward
improving Soviet-American re
lations, and is “extremely inter
ested in the development of post
war international economic co
operation.” i
