clerk's office. Library board consider model On April 5, the Orange City Library board met with the architect, Robert B. Mclnto- sch and viewed a working model of the new library building. The board reports the proposed building meets the federal building requirements for federal funds and is the result of combined efforts of the State Traveling library building consultant, the library board, the architect and the librarian. The general theme of the exterior of the building evolved after studying and attempting to create a Dutch theme.

Since the businessmen of Orange City have gone to extensive work in planning a theme for the downtown district, the board felt it important to co-operate with the businessmen. The board urged the architect to attempt the Dutch colonial which would tie in with the present. The architect, after studying the Dutch architecture of the Netherlands and the colonies, pointed out thediscrip- iencies which have resulted from thinking that "Dutch is colonial" or that "Colonial is A board member told The CAPITAL, "The materials of rough stone and metal roofs are exact materials used by the Dutch in New York State. (It was not until after the American Revolution that lumber and brick were used by our ancestors, so the stone represents the true material before the Dutch were influenced by English and French architecture.) A metal roof line was remeniscent of the Netherlands with a high peak, and windows were scarce, mainly because of the cost and the cold winters. "After 177G the lines of the Dutch architecture became more like the Colonial architecture that we think of today.

If the plan is approved it is hoped that the original sketches and pictures of the early Dutch houses be in a display at the new library to show how the theme has been adapted into an interesting and exciting new building."
