Reading Club scheduled at public library A favorite reading program for children will return this summer to many of South Car olina's public libraries. Design ed to teach youngsters the facts about soil and forest con- servation, Smokey Bear Read ing Clubs will be formed under the co-sponsorship of the S. C. State Library Board and the South Carolina Forestry Com mission.

This year, “Keep South Carolina Green” will be the theme for the young conserva tionists. Any child who can read is eligible for Club menaber- shjp.
