Mills, thirteen f members of the Library association i met. "The president, Mr. L. T. Mills, t called the meeting to order and stated the object of the meeting, the election ? of a new librarian and the transact ion k of any other business necessary to v the re-ppeniug of the Camden Public j Library. "The president appointed Miss Leila Shannon, Mr. L. A. Wittkowsky c and Mrs. N. K. Goodalc as a com- ? mittee to draw up suitable resolutions c on the death of the ever faithful c tibial ian, Miss Louise Salmon*! i Nettles. "It was moved and carried that the c list of applicants for position ol 2 librarian be read and a free discussion of the needs and requirements of the library be held and that balloting , should be by elimination, as there t were eleven applicants, the two lowest j to be dropped each time until three , weie left, and one of the three re- ( ceived a majority. ^ "Several ballots were cast and no j majority. Finally Mrs. W. J. Dunn i was declared elected und upon motion , balloting was resumed for the next j two highest candidates until one was | elected to serve in case Mrs. Dunn < could not serve. Mrs. Leroy Wooten 1 received the highest number of votes. \ "Mrs. Dunn asked for a duy's time \ to decide, as circumstances were such , that it was doubtful if she could ae- , cept. This request was granted. "The president then appointed as a < room committee Mrs. E. C. von , Tresckow, Miss Leila Shannon and , Mr. M. H. Hey man to arrange for the heating, ronovating, cleaning and , opening of the library as early as possible. . "Library hours were discussed and from 10 a.m. to 12 m., and from 3 , to 5 p.m. were decided upon. "Election of officers for 1927 was ! then in order and resulted as follows L. T. Mills, president.. L. A. Wittkowsky, treasurer; Mrs. W. M. Shannon, vice-president, and the librarian was appointed to act also as secretary. ? "It was moved and carried that meetings be held on the third Monday quarterly, instead of monthly as formerly, the annual meeting to be held the third Monday in February. "Mrs. N. K. Goodale was nppointed I a committee of one to write an account of the meeting for the papers and to solicit members to pay librarian and all funds collected to be duly accounted for and turned over to the treasurer, Mr. L.

Dunn as librarian and Mrs. W. . L. Wooten was notified by the president, Mr. Mills, of her election." Resolut4ons on Death of Miss Nettles The .Camden Public Library Association, through a committee composed of Mrs. N. R. Goodale, Miss L. M. Shannon and Mr. L. A. Wittkowsky, has issued resolutions upon the recent passing of their former librarian as follows: "In the death of Miss Louise Salmond Nettlos the Camden Public Library and City of Camden have sustained an irreparable loss. Byher unfailing loyalty to the best interests of the public and her faithfulness and I intelligent co-operation she filled * position peculiarly her own. In 1900, ' she became the conscientious librarian of the then struggling nueleus of a public library, and when the Carnegie Library-was opened in 1916, was elected its first and only librarian to the day of her death. With a natural gift of oratory, pnd a marvelous memo?yf for the facts of history, combined with an unusual talent for1 poetic expression she was ever ready to respond to any call and lend any assistance to all educational work. "Therefore, be it resolved: First, that the Camden Public Library deeply deplores the passing of this valued librarian. Second, that a page bo inscribed to her memory in our minute book, and a copy of these resolutions be published in our city papers and a copy be sent to her family." Jewish Women's Organization The Temple Sisterhood is the name of the Jewish Women's organization. The Camden Sisterhood was federated last year when a convention was held here.
