Wade, head Carroll librarian. In his annual report to the Library Board, Mr. Wade said capacity will be reached shortly before January 19(18, the target date for being in a new building.

Because it will not be possible to be in a new building by that time, book shelving will have to be installed in the main reading room late in 1007. "This it very unfortunate because it will reduce our sealing capacity drastically," Mr. Wade declared. "The American Library association's Standards for Public Libraries states that we should have a seating capacity of 85. We have less than half this number at present and when shelving is installed in the reading room, this number will be reduced even further." The librarian said 19(17 will be a crucial year in the development of the library.

Mileage a 1 has increased from 435,558 in 1956 to 2,044,231 during the past year. To give an idea of the expense of operations, Mr.

Crouse said that communications alone, including radio and telephone, runs about $9,000 a month. Other major expenditures include tires, $50,579 compared with $7,084 10 years ago, fuel, including taxes, up from $25,069 to licenses, increased from $10,062 to $44,207.

If the proposed bond issue for a now city hall, fire station, and library fails, I suggest that the issue be put bofore the voters again for a new library by itself. If this falls to receive the required majority, the library will have no choice but to reduce services and cut expenditures to a maintenance level. I fully expect a bond issue for a new library building to pass. If the vote Is yes, we must be certain to construct a library which has a capacity to allow expansion of the book collection for many years. We must build for tomorrow and the city's future needs.

I have always stated my belief that the City of Carroll deserves and can attain a public library which is the best of its kind in the nation." New records were set by the library last year, Mr. Wade reported to the board. The library now has 15,243 volumes including 11,428 adult and 3.B15 children. Circulation soared from 40,800 in 1905 to 51,305 in I960, a gain of 10,503. Rural circulation advanced from to 11,795, a gain of 4,119.

The library operated on a budget, of of which all but $03.24 wss expended during the year. A high point in circulation of books was reached and a record gain established "which may never again be a 11 The library showed a percentage gain in circulation over 1965 of 25 per cent. This gain came during a year in which public libraries across the nation were reporting a circulation decline of 5 to 10 per cent. Vietnam at a Strong Move for Repeal of Fast Time DES MOINES (AP)-Thcre's a strong move afoot in the Iowa House to repeal the daylight saving time law. It is led primarily by legislators from southwest Iowa but it is backed by a scattering of lawmakers elsewhere in the state.

It also is supported by petitions signed by approximately 1,600 Iowans which have been filed in the Iowa House. In addition, a Mahaska County farmer says he has collected more than 600 signatures on petitions asking that daylight saving time be outlawed. Rep. Charles Strothman, R- New London, said he has had a bill drafted to knock out the law authorizing daylight time, passed by the 1965 legislature. In an effort to standardize daylight time over the nation, Congress passed a law saying that any state on daylight time must observe it from the last week in April unil the end of October.

The 1965 legislature specified that Iowa should be on daylight time from 2 a.m. on Memorial Day until 2 a.m. the day after Labor Day. But then Atty. Gen.

Lawrence Scalise ruled the federal law pre-empted the field, and if Iowa was to have daylight time at all, it must run until the end of October. Strothman said, however, he was assured by Wayne Faupel, assistant code editor of Iowa, that the repeal bill would leave the door open to observing daylight time in the state from Memorial Day through Labor Day, if the legislature wanted to. Rep. William Harbor, R-Henderson, said the goal was to get 40 or more signatures in the House on the bill. "Those of us in western Iowa who are up against Omaha prefer no daylight time at all," Harbor said.

Nebraska has a law prohibiting any daylight saving time in the state. Strothman said a preliminary survey of the House indicated at least 63 representatives favor the measure, "which would assure its passage in the House." It's likely to be a different story in the Senate, however, with Democrats holding a 32-29 edge there.

Bombers Strike Twice at Railway Yard SAIGON (AP) U.S. fighter- bombers, returning to the heavily defended Hanoi area, struck twice today at a railway yard 40 miles north of the Communist capital. The air war dominated allied activity on both sides of the border. Viet Cong gunners shot down a U.S. Army UH1D helicopter 23 miles northwest of Saigon and American authorities announced all the eight men aboard were killed.

By coincidence eight others had died Monday in a CH47 helicopter shot down in the Mekong delta. A U.S. military spokesman, reporting on strikes in the Red River delta for a third straight day of clear weather, said Air Poree F105 Thuhderchiefs pounded the Thai Nguyen rail yard in the morning and again this afternoon. As the pace of the air war over the north quickened, U.S. headquarters reported two Air Force photo reconnaissance Phantom jets went down over North Vietnam Monday and said the four fliers are missing.

A spokesman said one plane Election on School Area Set Jan. 30 County Superintendent Victor O. Draheim announced Tuesday an election will be held in 21 precincts of the proposed Carroll Community School district Monday, Jan. 30, to vote on formation of the district under the County Board of Education's 1958 county school plan. To carry, the issue must be approved in 75 per cent of the districts by a 50 per cent majority in each district.

Approximately six townships are involved, including all or parts of Kniest, Wheatland, Sheridan, Maple River, Grant, Roselle, Pleasant Valley, Washington and Arcadia. The proposed new district is presently in litigation. Thirteen residents of the proposed district have filed a suit against the County Board. Territory assigned by the County Board to the Manning, Coon Rapids and Glidden-Ralston school districts has been claimed by the proposed Carroll Community school district. Since the County Board is now restrained from any legislative actions by an injunction filed by District Judge A.

J. Braginton of Manson, Mr. Draheim said he had checked on the legal aspects of the upcoming election and was advised by the judge and attorneys on both sides to go ahead and set the election. If the issue is approved, the new district would be formed as of July 1, 1967. 4 Players Win 50 Bingo Bucks Four happy newspaper bingo winners took $50 in Bingo Bucks from the Daily Times Herald Tuesday as they divided $200 in prizes that had accumulated through four weeks of the game.

Mao Gains Upper Hand in Struggle TOKYO (AP) Mao Tse-tung and his faction appear to have gained the upper hand in Communist China's power struggle and there are signs the threat of violence in Peking and other major cities is dissipating, the Peking correspondent of the Tokyo newspaper Yomiuri reported today.

The Japanese correspondent said the chaotic situation on the mainland appears to have "passed its peak and the tense situation prevailing over Peking, Shanghai, Nanking and other major cities appears to be subsiding following Mao's personal leadership of the purge," Wall newspapers in Peking last week reported Mao had returned to the capital, quoting Premier Chou En-lai and other high Communist party officials. "There is no doubt Mao's appearance played a decisive role to turn the tide of the crisis," the Yomiuri report said but added that the 73-year-old party chairman has not made any public appearances. He reported that 30,000 anti- Mao workers left their jobs in Shanghai and set out for Peking but were intercepted and persuaded to return. "Hundreds of thousands of China See Page 7 was downed by Communist groundfire and the other is missing from unknown causes and presumed down. This brought the number of U.S.

planes reported lost over the Communist north to 459. In the ground war, U.S. headquarters reported the Communists used "what appeared to be riot-control gas" against U.S. troops for the second time in less than three months, but the Americana didn't even have to put on their masks, A spokesman said the Viet Cong tossed gas grenades at pursuing infantrymen of the 4th Division in a small action 27 miles north-northwest of Saigon Monday. The gas dissipated so quickly, he said, that the men were unable to identify the type.

In other developments: Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge returned from five weeks in the United States and said the American people "want to do everything possible to support the young Americans who are here." officials in Washington disclosed that 10,000 more U.S. troops will be sent to South Vietnam this month to boost American troop strength to 405,000. By the end of 1967, the officials' predicted, there will be 475,000 American troops in Vietnam, in addition to between 50,000 and 60,000 offshore with the 7th Fleet and about 30,000 in Thailand, mostly airmen. 1 Nguyen Cao Ky left for a 10-day trip to Australia and New Zealand during which he is expected to encounter hostile demonstrations from Laborite opponents of the war.
