QCTOBER 23, 1974 TERRACE BAY NEWS PAGE I5 LIBRARY BOARD MEETING The Board of Trustees of the Schreiber Pub- lic Library held their regular meeting on Octo ~ber IOth, with Mrs. Norah McGuire presiding and Miss Gwen Hadley, the secretary-treasurer giving her report. The Ministry of Colleges and Universities has given the third grant instalment of $948. The Northwestern Regional Library sent a. cheque, reimbursing the Board for all expenses involved in the Student Summer Library Project. Bookmobile visits have been discontsdnued. Mrs. Esther Walker, trustee and Mrs. Dodie Kirkpatrick, librarian, selected 544 books fr- om the Regional Library, and the Regional Lib- rary achknowledged the return of 658 books, via Lakehead Freightways. Another exchange of books will be made in December - three visits per year being allowed. Mrs. Kirkpatrick and Mrs. McGuire will attend the Regional Conference in Thunder Bay on October 25th to 26th. A copy of the minimum wage act was posted on the bulletin board. The action of the signing officers in pay- ing accounts totalling $I,056.I0 for the months of August and September, was endorsed. The Board is deeply concerned over the crow- ded condition of the library. Since: I89I. it has been expanded three times, but only a few féet gained in each instance, but now, with doctor's quarters being transferred to the for -mer post office, they are using every means to acquire the whole of his former quarters, ' adjacent to the library, enabling them to ex- pand and update their service to the general public, .the number of borrowers increasing. The librarian requested three complete sets of books for junior readers. The manual and directory of the Ontario Joint Fiction Reserve was studied. This is a co-operative storage for French, English and other translations of fiction books which wou- 1d no longer normally be retained on the open shelves of public libraries, yet would be re- quired by students or other readers from time to time. Therefore a system for receiving and lending for donor borrowing libraries has been established. When the Dewey Decimal System is finished the library will be able to donate many extra copies of books which are presently stored in boxes. Mrs. Katie Verdone has returned home after visiting her daughter Diane in Ottawa. SCHREIBER TOWN TOPICS Holy Angels Separate School in Schreiber is sending two teams, a boy's and girl's to a sports meet being sponsored by the Royal Canadian Legign in Thunder Bay on October IO.

The time has come again, when everyone in Schreiber is watching their neighbours homes in an attempt to guess who 1s dressing for the Firemen's Annual Masquerade Ball, this year, on October 25th. Extended calls arouse speculation and the group, which year after year wins a prize, are being subjected to leading questions, and as usual blandly replying that this time, they're 'fresh-out' of ideas - which no one believes! But, they've done the Landing on the Moon complete with astronauts and space ship, The Honorables Trudeau, Stanfield and Lewis, sO speculation is rife about some-Watergate in- stance, for this year. The door prize does not require attendance at the event, and many senior citizens show their support of the men by buying a ticket, although they seldom go to the party. Pollution Last week 50 people picketed City Hall demanding that the mayor do something about air pollution. When they left they went home in 45 different cars.
