Willingness to Walk Maine sophomore at mid-years was suddenly faced with the necessity of adjusting his campus life from fraternity house to cabin. There the only luxuries provided were a roof and a chance under it to study, a stove and Astumpage. Another more unfavorable change removed the source of income for even term-bill and uncooked food, and of necessity he left the University just as the Student Library campaign was being conducted. None of us is so far removed from our own undergraduate days that some of the effects of such changes cannot be appreciated. Yet this young man, because he knew how much a University Library was needed, gave to the Library fund the money he had saved for trans­ portation home. Generally Maine women and Maine men, and others who fall under Maine’s influence, do give when a great and good need is known and understood. For instance:—Maine undergraduates, conducting their own campaign, made a gift to the Library fund of nearly $14,000.00. For instance:—A widowed Mother who has established a small home in Orono to minimize expenses while her boy attends the University was one with him in insisting that a part of their small capital should be added to the Student Campaign fund. For instance:—The non-alumni Faculty, made up without exception of alumni of other institutions, to which they are undoubtedly asked to make contributions, and numbering 166 have pledged to the Maine Library fund $12,123. You know the need of a new University Library. Through the pages of the Alumnus, newspaper publicity, campaign bulletins, speakers representing the Uni- versity and the Library Committee, radio and solicitors this primary need of your Alma Mater has been well presented to you. In the tradition of Maine women and Maine men, who give when the need is known, you will give. And the time is now. The sophomore referred to above, disappointed, discouraged, leaving his friends, his hopes, and his University, established a high standard when, in order to give, he evidenced his willingness to walk 150 miles home. The probability is that, enroute, he obtained a lift, possibly a generous one. And Maine Alumni are likely to have similar experiences. There is of a certainly a spiritual “lift” for him who helps generously in meeting a great need. Have you given as much as you can give? Have you evidenced a “willingness to walk”? ITH the attainment of over half the total amount set as the goal W of the campaign, the Library LIBRARY DRIVE AT- Drive rounded out six weeks of solicita­ tion by alumni chairmen and committee workers in fifty-two areas throughout STANDING BY AREAS the country last week.

Potash from Europe, New Mexico or California—all find an easily accessible berth alongside Summers’ pier. Conversion of these Raw Materials into SUMMERS “Best-on-Earth” balanced Crop Rations is completed by Maine Labor in a Maine plant. Modern equipment insures accurate manufacture. Ample storage permits thor­ ough “curing.” A thousand ton daily shipping capacity adequately meets the demand of Maine Growers for High Speed Service. Fertilizers through Summers’ Searsport factory reach Maine Farmers by a short and economical route. Extra hand­ ling and superfluous overhead are eliminated. These operating economies permit SUMMERS to put that Extra Plant Food Value in each bag—a demonstrable fact upon which thousands of Maine Farmers annually depend.
