Commerce Clay Hooper, chairman of the Sterling board trustees, welcomed the group and Fred Hartman, a member of the state library board, addressed the group. Mrs. Flora Wilhite, director of Sterling, listed the American Library and Tax as Library Association standards.

She recommended that those interested in libraries seek an "honest answer to library-problems." The Texas Library Association recommends that S3.50 to 54 per capita should be spent annually on public libraries in Texas. In Texas the average is $1.34, but the Austin Public and Deer Park spend almost S3. In Baytown the ratio 5s about S2.30. Mrs. Wilhite said that if the 1968 budget is passed the per capita output should be S2.50 1 based on 42,000 population.

Texas Library Association has set up guidelines for measuring progress and suggested that municipal libraries work together in systems and groups for better service; depth in collections, quality and accessibili- tv. "We want to give service that the public in the last third of this century has a right to expect of its libraries," Mrs. Wilhite said. Fall FARE COUNTRY SET GIRLS SPOILED?
