LIBRARY NEWS NEW BOOKS - ONTARIO IN YOUR CAR - by John and Mar- jorie Mackenzie is much more then a conven- tional guide book, It organizes tours, indicates routes, marks sites of tourist interest, recommends hotels and resorts, and erects signposts to the best fishing, hunting, and sport. All of these bear the stamp of personal investigation and recom- mendation, But, not content with this alone, the authors hati also told the story of their province, ALBERT SCHWEITZER: Genius in the Jungle by Joseph Gollomb, This is the exciting and inspiring story of one who has been called "the greatest man on earth," THE DAMSEL DEBONAIRE - by Maurice Walsh who turns a sharp Gaelic eye toward his own North Ireland and the members of two ancient families with their castles, their blooded horses, their romances - with special attention to the conflict between the new generation, disillusioned by war, and the old, mde listless by inbreeding, traditions, and too much Irish whiskey. THE HOUSE THAT STOOD STILL - by A. E. Van Vogt is a stirring science-fiction melodrama, INDIAN SUMMER - by Nan Sharpe is a romantic novel. The Terrace Bay Public Library Board held their first meeting of the year on: the evening of Tuesday, Janucry 23, 1951. Mrs, J. C. Shaunessy was re-elected Chair- men; and Eleanor Pearson re-elected Secre~ tary Treasurer. With a view to increasing the populari- ty of the Library, the Board intends to write the various organizations of Terrace Bay in order to find out what type of reading materinl would suit their inte} rests and pleasure. Perhaps the out-of-the-wry loertion of 0 Librery tends to lessen the number who vail themselves of the opportunity to Syste fine and interesting books for their reading plensure, but it is the hope of the Board that soon the Library may be more commodious and more centrally located, Library hours are: Monday & Wednosday 2tokp.m., Tucsdey and Thursday - 7 to 9 pm. 0-0-0 2.TTINTION "MOTORISTS Due to the recent heavy snow-falls, the banks on the sidos of the roads are exbirane- ly high'.
