'Rideau Lakes Union LIBRARY Fall, this year, seems to be the season of Canadian releases. Constance Beresfordâ€"Howe ggives us A serious Widow. At the funeral of her husband of decades, a woman discovers she was married to a bigamist and has no legal rights to his estate. Untrained, with no prospects, she wanders from one situation to another until she becomes her own person. Done with Beresfordâ€"Howe's usual light touch, gentle pushing and patient understanding. Pity the same can't be said about Margaret Atwood‘s Wilderness Tips. Gzowski may Vhave gushed about it, but personally, I think this is because he is in love with Atwood. Remember what they say about love being blind. Robertson Davies is once more Robertson Davies. Murther and Walking Spirits has a modernâ€"day man going back in time and participating in "films" with his y ancestors. A palatable history lesson. Hume Cronyn gives" us selected memoires (very egoâ€"centric) in-A Terrible Liar. An interesting section on his View of James Dean -â€" among others. Also in the memoire vein, Ben Wicks (cartoonist, now historian) presents When the Boys Came Marching Home. The subtitle tells all: true stories of the men who went tO‘ war and the women and children who took them back. Lots of reâ€"adjustment Arauma. Pity they didn't have I'm on Your Side by Jane Nelson and Lynn Lott. Lots of good commonâ€"sense help for resolving conflict with one‘s teenage son or daughter. And it must be good â€"- there's already , a waiting list for it. Alberta's Marilyn Halvorson has a good understanding of teenagers. she already had, several books in the Irwin Young Adult' Fiction Series. In Brothers and Strangers she tackles the problem of a young man who spent his teenage years as a runaway on the streets of Vancouver. Now he's home on the family farm trying to deal with a father, a brother and a past that won't go away. For more misfits who are survivors, try William Bell's Absolutely Invincible; about four handicapped teenagers who gang up to show that they are really not so different. Action takes place in Algonquin Park. We all know little kids are fascinated by fire. (More little boys set fires than little girls â€"â€" so watch who's got OCTOBER 1991 NORTH LEEDS LANTERN 23 Recycling News 1F) Greetings from the Recycling Committee for the Rear of Leeds and ' Lansdowne.

Agencies and organizations which are of a non-profit nature and concerned with the education, health, the aged, recreation, safety and other charitable purposes within our North Leeds Region may apply. We have tried to keep the rules of application and application forms as uncomplicated and unforeboding as possible to encourage your participation. We wish you well as you apply for this grant.
