The Library started in the old barber shop in 1891 but the historical records of the period are very sketchy. The Library Board and staff members are seeking informa- tion about the Library to put a small book together on the history of the Library and the town. Anyone who has heard some good stories, or historical ~ information about the Library, from their family or friends should contact the Library. The Library Board has planned many activities to celebrate this special year. For all of the romantic adults in the community there is the Lines for Lovers contest. This is a chance for all of the really great poets out there to show their stuff. There are very few contest rules. It is open to adults only (over 18) because the prize will be a romantic evening. Negotiations with the Land- mark Inn in Thunder Bay continue. Each entry should be a poem that is four to eight lines long which is romantic in nature and contains the title of a book or play. The Library Board members and staff are not eligible but everyone else can enter as often as they wish. The Library will also guarantee confidentiality if poets want their winning poem published without their name. Lines for Lovers entries can be sent to Box 39, Schreiber before Valentine's Day, February 14. For the children the Library is offering an exciting event Piped on to the ice Joe McGill of Marathon piped the eight competing teams of the Northwestern Ontario Junior Men's District Playdowns on to the ice at the Terrace Bay Curling Club last Thursday afternoon.

Jobs at stake if Post Office goes By Rob Cotton The News The jobs of those employed at the Terrace Bay Post Office are in jeopardy if the building is sold and Canada Post is unable to secure a new lease. Bev Buchan, director, Mid- west Division of the Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association (CPAA), said people working in rural Post Offices have lost their jobs when the outlet is closed and the form of postal service changed . "They are given the Opportunity to relocate in most cases," Buchan said, " but most of members are women and most of them bring a second income to the family." In most cases it is not feasible for these women to move because it would require relocating the whole family, she explained. Even if the workers were to gain employment at a retail postal outlet they would not necessarily be working at union » wages, Buchan said. "To them, in most Cases, it would be_a bjg financial loss. They would also be losing the benefits they would have gained by still being there[employed at a corporate outlet." Buchan said the Conserva- tive government has put their corporate plan for Canada Post in place and in following that plan the corporation is still closing corporate post offices and replacing them with retail outlets whenever they can. The CPAA, which represents workers in the rural network , is not in favor of this, she said.
