the balm for wounded affections, and the
genial companions of our silent hours. What _
memories linger about our acquaintance— ’Q

THE KENTUCKY SAMPLER
As most of you know the Kentucky Sampler is a cookbook put out by
the LSO as a money making project. At the end of last year a supplement
was begun and production on it was not completed until the beginning of
May. Many people are responsible for the Sampler and its supplement.
Many staff members from across the system contributed recipes and a
number of people worked very hard to put out the original sampler and
its supplement.
The major complaint about the Kentucky Sampler was its binding. It
seems that those people who had the glued copies were experiencing
problems with the pages falling out. For those of you who do not
already know, we are trying to do something about that. I checked with
a local binder and it seems we can have a plastic spiral binding put on
the old SAMPLERS at a cost of 90 cents per book. If you wish we can
also have the supplement bound in at no extra charge. There is one
slight difficulty with this. In my zest for getting out the supplement
S to the Kentucky Sampler I made one slight error in judgment. I decided
that in order to save money I would have the supplement to the sampler
printed on both sides. I spent the better part of one Saturday
afternoon trying to figure out how to arrange the pages so that the
right pages would be printed back to back. That worked out perfectly.
What I didn’t remember is that the margins are reversed on the backside
of the page, hence there is no binding edge on the left side of all the
pages. Being basically lazy and not wanting to redo the supplement I
decided that the best way out of this mess was to bind the books at the I
top. We would lose some page numbers and perhaps one or two recipe
titles but all the recipes would be there. I took a sample to the
binder and then brought the book home and gave it the TONI TEST. It
passed on ease of use. I stood mine up; it's a bit flimsy but at least
it did not fall in my dough and I managed to get the Hamburger Pot Pie
together with no stains on the book. By the way the Hamburger Pot Pie
is delicious (on page S25, Supplement).
The Sampler has been well received. We have received orders for it
from retired staff members, former staff members, and people who don't
even know us (I have one order from Paducah Community College -- the
GREEN BEAN is read near and far). If all goes well the first batch of
the books will go to the binder either late this week or early next week
(it depends on how long my cutting arm holds out). If you missed the
tasting party do not dispair! There is an order blank on this WAX BEAN.
Just fill it out and send it to me with your check (made payable to the
UK Library Staff Organization). Be sure to put your phone number down
so if I have any questions I will be able to call you. The choices are
the second edition of the Kentucky Sampler (the first edition with the
Supplement bound in -- it has a zippy red cover); the Kentucky Sampler

 II (supplement only) bound separately; or make arrangements for me to
get your first edition of the Kentucky Sampler and I'll have the
supplement bound in it. I'll be accepting orders until June 20th.
After that you‘ll have to wait until next year for your cookbook. If `
you have any questions please call me at 258-2758.

with the setup and cleanup for the event. And of course thanks to all
of those people who spent the money and effort to bring a dish so the

I am treading on dangerous ground with all you serial catalogers out
there. As best I can determine NEWS AND NOTES was followed by STAFF
NOTES in l96h and then by NEWS NOTES in 1968 and then by STAFF
NEWSLETTER in 1972 and finally by the WAX BEAN in l980. What next?
Many staff members have given their time as officers or served on _
various committees of the Library Staff Organization over the years.
Who were the officers of the Library Staff Organization in l968? (Hint:
all of them are still prominent members of the library staff.)
