The speaker rapped critics of the American system who state their only interest is in hours and more wages. He said, "A person who I believes only in material benefits loses his identity as a human entity and becomes a thing. There must be co-operation in America between capital and labor so that the spiritual as well as the material well being of mankind is developed, develop our mechanical technique and too often ignore proper personal relationships in industry and the shop.

They are still reading some of the later books, showing the funny side of the fighting, she said, but for the most part they are asking for books on politics and future peace problems. Other popular subjects are travel, biographies and histories. The only persons who are interested in the war are the servicemen, who want to read what was written about certain battles i which they had participated.

Some of the more popular books available now at the library are: Million by Henry A. Wallace, which discusses the need for full employment within the framework of the American way of life, as well as plans and possibilities for its achievement.
