Neenah Aldermen Are Queried i NEW YORK af One authority on -children's 3 books says today's young generation reads everything in reach, Which should be heartening news to all us adults who have been fretting about the demands of television on a child's free hours or on, reasons why 'Johnny cant read." This being the 39th annual Children's Book Week, I visited Mrs. Frances Spain, an affable, Georgia-born woman who has worked with youngsters in library and classroom for 25 years. She at present Is head of the children's section of the New York Public Library. "What are they reading? Mercy me, everything in all fields," said Mrs.

Spain. "They're going through the books grandma grew up on the classics as well as the comics. I must say, though, we dont include the latter in our library listings." "A bunch of us worried when television came along, fearing would cut into a child's reading time," she "But then, so doesdahcing 'school. "Circulation did drop a bit at first, but not as we had feared. Television stimulates a certain amount of reading.

The classic example was a few seasons ago when we had the Davy Crockett craze in everything. Well, we couldn't keep his biography, or that of any other western hero on the shelves. Statistics from the Children's Book Council support Mrs. Spain's observations. Lucy the executive secretary, said that in 1921 there was1 one children's book editor.

Now, the council has 69 member publishers. Non-member publishers of juveniles brine the total to 103, she said. AH. told last either the; kids or doting relatives bought nearly 145 million books. Mrs.

be rezoned from two-family residential to commercial. The plans commission looked with disfavor on the request because it would constitute "spot zoning," a practice the commission is trying to eliminate. Instead, they came up with the wholesale rezoning plan. Realizing there might be heavy fire from residential property owners involved in the mass rezoning, aldermen agreed to discuss the matter further in private.

Bernice Worden. i Geitfa attorney entered a pla ofiinnocent and innocent by reason of insanity and the hollow-eyed recluse was bound, over to Circuit Court for trial. The next term of Circuit Court is slated for May, but a special session could be held next week, authorities said. At that time a sanity examination probably will be requested. The whole proceeding lasted about three minutes.

Gein also entered a plea of innocent to a robbery charge in connection with theft of a cash register from the Plainfield store of Mrs. Worden. Admits Two Killings The discovery of the kindly widow's butchered body in a leanto on Gein's farm near Plainfield last Sunday led to the finding of human skulls and other human body parts in the debris-littered house. Waushara County authorities seemed content to charge Gein with one murder and have him committeed as insane. Villagers and authorities in other counties nearby have said they wanted to keep the case alive to determine whether the farmer is a mass murderer or grave robber.

Gein also admitted the kill-inging of Mary Hogan, 54, a Pine Grove tavern operator who vanished about three years ago. No Details Revealed Gein confessed at the state crime laboratory at Madison Wednesday night when he was confronted with the death mask -of Mrs. Hogan. Director Charles Wilson of the crime lab refused to reveal details of the slayings. Gein's confession to the sec ond slaying raised fears that he may have been the mass murderer.

However, Gein claimed he killed only the two women and got the other skulls from robbing fresh graves on moonlit nights. (Continued on page 6) lined in the rules printed in Wednesday's paper.

To avoid conflict, it would have to be a duplex-type building, with two separate spaces for each department and in that case, you might as well build two separate buildings.

There wouldn't be much saving in combining them. Fourth ward Alderman Leonard Hedberg It seems that since we have trouble trying to get together on so many problems, it would be farfetched to think that we Could get together on a joint city hall. On many issues in the past the two cities never could get to an agreement. Although, if IMenasha needed quarters as badly as we do, it would be a savings to build only one structure.
