And the sweet scent of new spring breezes playing with your hair Oh, like catching those very first chirpings of home-again robin. It's the fresh, inside-out, all's well, deep-in-the-heart, 'got-the- world-by-the-tail" feeling that's found its way out into Spring. When Easter comes! With peace and simplicity, with joy and promise. promise. To you, Happy Easter Wishes! Enjoying Easter Tea Just think of days that used to be, When work was hard but visions free:; Those visions raised and all it took Was the wonder of a borrowed book. This fact was recognized and so Two ladies out of Orond Gathered books and made a start To give to Orono it's heart. It started small, as all things do, But as years passed it grew and grew It gave a pride that all could see And grew into our library. The years have passed some ninety- nine And everything is going fine Books by the thousand, tapes try the score Could we in Orono ask for. more. Our children do their projects there Our old folks walk and they too share The joy of words, of sounds, befriended The heart beats strong it won't be ended. But now we come to present day, The library's out, or so they say Who. speaks these words - The Library Board Bored, no : Board, a Board is hard So right - but this is present time No timè for heart, not time to rhyme. "We have authority" they say To move the library where we may. One hundred years less one you've worked To build a heart? We've never shirked From seeing where our duty lies We'll build a heart for you outside: Outside your body, outside your reach, f . Somewhere - Just to fill the breach. You say your children cannot get there For school projects - Do not worry, We'll cancel projects in a hurry There's nothing Library Boards can't do When dealing with such fools as you. Oh! Now you talk about your seniors Some do not drive? Well that could mean us Thinking now of other ways Of keeping seniors home for days. They've learned all that they're going to learn And they never again will earn The money which we greatly need- To carry out this noble deed. You talk of heart - we have one too And much improved on'any of you, Yours pumps on blood and can cause sorrows Ours pumps only on taxpayers dollars. The state is set: So will we see The .heart of our community Our heritage, Our future gone Or shall we learn From that great .book. * So why not now just take alook And study chapter seventeen Of Samuel first The forty-nine ahd, fif(y verse. by Batina Matlock Spring, wings & splashdown ai Cranberry Marsh Extra daylight and warmer temperatures are two indications of spring's return to Durham Region.
