But this will mean an-end to the great feature of the museum--the proximity of hundreds of thousands of books to the priceless stock of antiquities. With the government's deci- sion to abandon existing con- struction plans, has no idea where a future upheaval may take it, or pre- cisly when. KEEPS EVERY BOOK the library Harried musum officials, attempting to grapple with a ceaseless acquisition of new volumes, estimate there may be more than 7,000,000 books z the museum's collection so ar. Each year about 1% miles of shelves must be added to accommodate fresh arrivals. Under th Copyright Act the museum library receives a copy of very book published MOUNTING FLOOD OF BOOKS INUNDATES BRITISH MUSEUM in Britain. It serves as Brit- ain's central collection point for printed material. It caters to researchers from all parts of the world. The famous museum was founded in 1753 and the rotun- da-shaped reading room was completed in 1857. The 7%4-acre site selected for the original development scheme lies across Great Rus- sell Street, a lively business part of Central London's Bloomsbury district. The government had ac- quired 60 per cent of the prop- erty at a cost of $6,000,000 when it announced abandon- ment of the building project late in October. HEEDED PROTESTS The announcement, branded "deplorable' by museum trustees, cited protests made against the project by spokes- men for those now living or doing business on the site. The spokesmen contended the scheme would mean dis- placement of many residents, elimination of a varied busi- ness community and demoli- tion of structures having his- torical significance. Bowing to the complainants, Education Minister Patrick Gordon Walker named a small independent committee to find a new site for a nation- al library and determine whether Britain's library sys- tem as now organized serves current needs. The Covent Garden area, a market-filled district sched- uled for redevelopment, is mentioned as a possible site for the new library.

So The Times not only tells you what's' new but shows you as well -- and that's just another good reason why it is invited into more than 24,000 the explorers perhaps thought they had landed in ndia. Still another is that it arose from "Kanatats!"--They are strangers--shouted by aborigi- nals when the first Europeans came up the St. Lawrence River. These possibilities are among a few listed in A Dic- tionary of Canadianisms on Historical Principles, a new work produced for the W. J. Gage publishing company by a team of lexicographers. But while conceding that the etymology of the name Can- ada is by no means clearly es- tablished, the authors de- scribe most theories as fanci- ful and pretty well conclude that it was borrowed by the French from the Iroquoian word '"'kanata,"" meaning vil- lage or community. Editors of the new diction- ary, the first to provide a comprehensive collection of Canadian words: and expres- sions, fortunately have en- countered fewer problems in pinning down the origin or de- velopment of most others of the 10,000 entries. For example, there's "high muckamuck" or "big mucky- muck," slang for a big shot or the leading person in a group. It's said to be derived from "hyiu. muckamuck," Chinook jargon for "lots to eat" or "a good big meal." And mukluk, the warm knee-high boot worn by Eski- mos and Indians of the North- west Territories and Yukon, from "muklok"'--a large or bearded seal.
