TÈURSDAY9 DECEMBER l2th, 1957 Whcat Reader Expects From BooksDiscussed Can you read a book well, was the challenging question put to the Reading and Study Group by Mr. E. Morley., Books from the reader's view- point was the theme' for the evening on Dec. 4 and members presented their ideas on what we should expect of a book. Depending on the mood of the reader he might read for one or more of several reasons: information, escape, mental training, recreation etc. In read- ing for recreation we would do weil to interpret the word tru- ly-"re-creation", use our Ilei- sure to explore our own ideas, ext.râct new ideas. Recently Ed. R. Murrow was heard to make the statement, "Every man is ignorant". Mr. Morley read some start- ling statistics recently rcleased in United States: 75 percent of aduits don't read a book; 25. percent of adults rend one book per year; less than 1 percent reed five books a year. One billion comic books were sold last year. This was four times the book budget in the country for ail text books in secondary and elementary schools. A meeting of the group was held last nigbt discussing books froma the writer's vicwpoint. The next meeting wil be held Dec. 18 at 8 p.m. in the Lions Centre, after which class- es will be adjourned tili Jan. 8. Recommended books for class are: "How to Read a Book" by Mortimer J. Adler; "The Reader's Companion to World Literature" by Hornstein- Perey-Brown, a Mentor Book; "Books That Changed the World", by Robert B. Downes, a Mentor Book.

Herman Lapp, District Sales Manager for Chevrolet and Oldsmobile pointed out to the m-ecbanics that service is becom- ing increasingiy important as the compiexity of the automo- bile increases. "It is a major accompiishment for a mec-hanic to keep up-to-date," he said. The sales awards be explain- ed are based on the sales of new and uscd cars and it is significant to note that less than one !ralesman in four receives the award. "I means a great deal to have an organization such as Ro7v W. Nichols that services the produet weil, keeps custom- ers satisfied and prospers through the years." Mr. Lapp stated, Mm. Lapp went on to caîl at- tention to the reliable service offered to the community by Roy W. Nichols as weli as Mr. Nichols' personal contribution to Darlington Township where he bas semved as reeve for eight years. "Automobiles are a part o! ,people's lives and are some- tbing they have to have. It is a question o! what they can afford to own and it is up to you to treat the customer fair- ly and make sure that he re- ceives f ull value from the pro- duet." A well establislied dealership is actually a service to the community he said in conclu- sion. Mr. Nichols thanked Mr. Lnpp for the delicious dinner Gen- eral Motors served to bis staff. Mr. Nichols xvent on to comn- mend General Motors for en- couraging thie salesmen and mechanics and inspiring them to higher levels through the series o! awards. lOc PER COPY NITMBER 50 w -i o MVn *ip ue sat*evn- tate the handling of the mail, citizens are asked to separate the local mail front out-of -town mail.
