PAGE I2 TERRACE BAY NEWS JUNE 27, I973 Chimo Banquet - cont'd ... The birthday cake was cut by Tommy and Eun- ice Bolan and Jessie Macadam. Rev. McKague amused the crowd by describing a recent check-up by an optometrist who obser- ved that such conditions were to be expected in middle-age =-- Mr. McKague, being a very young man who decided such observations were relative. The best part of the program was of course the informal contributions: Joe Campbell, who recited Barbwire Bill, by Service and as a despatcher, related the incident of holding a train in a siding for three hours, when a young brakesman got on the phone inquiring how much longer he was going to keep them there to which he replies, 'Likely, another two hours - there's no room for you here and, asked - How long have you been on the road, son? The answer was five years - two on the road - and three in the siding!" During the evening the Commisso fanily orchestra - Lennie aged 8, a master of the traps; Marc, I2, guitar; Mario, I4 accordion, and Linda, I5 piano and accordion. Joey Wills, nine years old, another accord- ionist, played several solos, and displayed real talent as an accompanist for a sing-along. The door prizes for the evening were won by Kitty Whitton and Tommy Whent. LIBRARY NEWS The Schreiber Public Library Board, at their] June meeting, with Inez McCuaig presiding, welcomed Tony Farthing, Regional Consultant, as a guest. Much concern was expressed over the number of books reported lost or mislaid by borrowers some of these expensive ones for reference of which the library had only single copies. It was agreed all books lost must be paid for by the borrower at the cost of replacement by the library. The librarian will be given her vacation of two weeks starting July Ist, during which time the town will do the annual cleaning of the room and the library will re-open on July I6. It was decided not to enter into the recip- rical borrowing project this year. Delores Kirkpatrick, librarian and Mr. Far- thing, both spoke on discussions at the recent conference. Although a telephone would be a great advan- tage it was felt the installation should be left until the library quarters are definitely. decided. The usual appreciation was expressed for the excellent condition in which the town hall custodian maintains the library, and his promo- tion of several books. 4 The bulk of the business was dealt with by Gwen Hadley, whose financial report was adopt- ed as read. Miss Hadley is able to explain most satisfactorily changes in the grant, lib- rary act and the wages paid. She also stated that this year the library books were inspected and found in order by the town auditors - in previous years the board has employed its own, paid, auditors. It was agreed in the Fall to try the select- ing of books from the Regional library, with hopefully, three members being able to go to the Lakehead. Membership in the Book of the Month club has been adopted on a trial basis. The board is most grateful to the local art club which places paintings during the year in the library, serving both as an enjoyment and inspiration. The Popular Science magazine was renewed for three years. It was agreed that monthly magazines, don- ated, should be regularly culled since space is so restricted.
