THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1942 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO Publie Library Agent of Public. Health, Partner Cultural Agencies And a Guardian of Leisure Mrs. Vivian Argue, Librarian, bas very kindly consented ta give Statesman readers some impres- sions about the 42nd annual con- vention of the Ontario Library Association held in Hamilton April 6th and 7th, wbicb was at- tended with interest and profit by a hast of librarians from city and small town libraries in On- tarià The association made the ROSM lCannaught Hotel its head- quarters, where interesting dis- plays of posters relative ta Lib- rary Publicity and Public Infor- mation Releases were given pro- minence. The theme of the con- ventions was "Public Relations,"~ and the addresses tbroughaut the convention were waven araund that theme. Miss Miriam Tampkîns, Schaol of Library Service, Columbia Uni- versity, New York Ciy, gave the apening address, and she stressed tbe thought that it is of vital im- portance what people read, and that it is the duty of the Public Library ta mauld the reading tastes of the community. "We must, as Librarians, make aur- selves indispensable," sbe said, "and only by making aurselves intelligent educational centres can we be sure we are cansidered indispensable." "Escapism" she said was one of the cief reasons that people turn ta books tbese days in their leisure hours, and was aften mare pressing than a desire for improvement, know- ledge or entertainment. There are books ta suit every taste in aur libraries, and we must give more publicity ta let people know that ail types of books are available at aur libraries. Miss Loeber of Toronto Public Library spake on "Friends of thèe Library" who rally ta library support when funds are 10w. We called ta mind aur good friends the Lions and Rtarians who be- friended Bowmanville Library 50 generously last year. She said, "We need ta build up a wall of gaod-will against the days when problems of poverty, relief and unemployment resultant of the war press down upon us." Controller Nora Frances Hen- dersan, of Hamilton City Council, spoke on "The City Cauncil Looks at the Library." After praising the Hamilton Public Library for the splendid work tbat was being dane on "an inadequate grant from the City Council," she said "It is ta the educationalists, ta whicb graup the library belongs, that we must look in tbe future." "Tbe hope o! democracy lies in the mind of man, and it is ta the institutions that cantribute ta man's knowledge that we must turn in these times. Tbe urgent task that lies befare us is that we shaîl bring increasing know- ledge and wisdom ta tbe world, that irregularities between na- tions may eventually be wiped out. Only by enlarging aur in- tellectual powers can we bope ta survive." Chancellor George Gilmour of McMaster University, addressing the dinner meeting on "Making the Public Library Public," re- ferred ta "enforced self-culture" as a result of the curtailment of motoring and travel, forcing peo- ple ta stay at home more. He stressed the value o! the Public Library which be viewed as "'an agent a! public health, a partner o! cultural agencies, and a guar- dian o! leisure." "As yet the lib- rary is not public enough, but it is pragressing slowly along that line," he said. The session in the Boys and Girls Section a! the Hamilton Public Library addressed by Mr. Kyte, Librarian of Queens Uni- cersity, was the one enjoyed most by your librarian. Mr. Kyte pre- MASONIC RULING MASTER J. S. Emmerson Who was recently installed War- shipful Master of Jerusalem Lodge, A. F. & A. M., No. 31, Bowmanville. The number of this lodge signifies it is one of the oldest Masonic lodges in On- tario, having received its charter in 1849. Thirty Past Masters of the lodge are stili living, the old- est being John Lyle, J.P., 92, for many years Town Clerk, who was present at the installation of Worshipful Master Emmerson. It is interesting to note the list of 30 Past Masters stili living are: Wor. Bros. L. W. Dippell, P. R. Cowling, E. E. Staples, A. W. G. Northcutt, E. S. Ferguson, L. A. Parker, A. H. Bounsaîl, C. H.

John Lyle. sented three outstanding juvenile books: "The Taming of the Snark" by Lewis Carroll; "The Three Mula Mulgars," by De La Mare; and "The Hobbit" a new discov- ery from England among chul- dren's books. Mr. Kyte very delightfully re- viewed "The Hobbit," reading selections in bis own inimitable way, as tbough he thoroughly enjoyed it bimself, to the extreme delight pf bis hearers. We have secured "The Hobbit" for our Story Hour group on Sat- urday mornings, and we hope that more of the boys and girls will come and enjoy this very enter- taining adventure with us.

F. Heyland On Monday evening Trinity Y'oung People's Union were the guests of Maple Grave Union. Mildred Snawden, President of Maple Grave, welcomed the guests, then Trinity Union con- Lucted the worship service and presented the pragram. Don An- derson, Russell Short and Bill Buckley assisted in the worsbip ervice. The speaker a! the evening, Mr. J. Forbes Heyland expaunded bis views an the tapic "Living Pic- ures." Pictures are a !orm o! expression ta teacb lessons. The nakers a! pictures can be divided nto twa classes - painters with excellent technique and ability but who prostrate art for unde- cent purposes. The other group have like technique and ability, but their motive is gaad, they tell ;taries in form of pictures that are gaod ta contemplate. Michel- angelo, Italian artist, sculptor, painter and architect, was o! thej second class. Inspiration a! a re- ligiaus nature enabled hlm ta tell beautiful stories on canvas. His murals in the Vatican at Rame ire a living monument. His abili- ty with the brusb is comparable ta Shakespeare with bis mighty pen. He truly created Living Pic- tures. In aur own district where far- mers are active we find living pictures. Pictures o! hope and faith. Farmers sowing their grain witb faitb that there will grow a bountiful crop. Na picture on canvas could surpass this daily picture created by thousands of farmers. A second artist whose power o! craftsmanship and o! design lifted his paintings and drawings ta tbe rank o! works of art, is Jean Francois Millet wbose genius created "The Angelus" wbicb brings inspiration and peace ta aIl who look upon it. Un! ortunately, all pictures do flot depict peaceful scenes. One picture living in the hearts and minds of many, and wbicb ta the speaker's knowledge bas nat yet been put on canvas, was the ghastly tbaugb miraculous Re- treat at Dunkirk. The picture pre- sented by Mr. Heyland of Britisb and other Allied troaps an tbe shore, dirty and ragged with poor equipment, red with their own blood caused by bombing and machine gunning o! the enemy, and then the Britisb Armada stealing ta the rescue, is a picture neyer ta be forgatten and wbicb will some day be put an canvas. Other living pictures would in- clude the courage and bravery of the British nation. The saul a! England is free now thougb pre- viously shackled by complacency. This picture will live in the bearts o! the British nation as long as there is a British nation. The Fire o! London - a picture lighted by the red f lame o! war is dying. But there is a fire burn- ing in the hearts o! the British people, a fire a! determination, dogged courage, self -satisfaction, whicb will burn and not be put out until evil is banished fram the earth-a living picture. Mr. Heyland concluded bis ad- dress by reminding bis audience that war is an artist and versatile painter, sketcher and sculptor. War shows the courage o! the littie men thougb its tools are borrar and destruction. It brings forth a wealtb o! living pictures o! allied nations determined ta complete their task o! bringing truth and freedom ta the peoples o! the eartb. The remainder o! the program was in charge of George Roberts and included vocal solos by Ar- line Northcutt; readîngs by Joan Longman; piano solo by Phyllis Challis, and vocal solos by Hazel Rundle. Recreatian was conducted by Lawrence Wragg, after whicb re- freshments were served by the Maple Grave Union. Doris Dud- ley extended the thanks a! bath Unions ta Mr. Heyland for bis thought -provoking address, and ta Maple Grave for an enjoyable evening.

The lessan was not last on others that the Monroe Doctrine could nat prevent Can- ada from waging wan as a pantnen in the Commonwealth. An "ad lib" was advanced in illustration: -A debutante's gindie provided local support withaut interfering xith long range activities." Another book, "Canada Moves North" by Finnie, and Twomey's -Needle ta the North" sought ta show that civilization would surge nortbward. And "Canadian Mo- saic" by John Murray Gibbon, witb "Canadians Al'" by Watson Kirconneli, patniot and professar, dealt with the melting pot o! nationalities and the problems o! assimilation in which Canadian Clubs could do so much. The !act was advanced that New Cana- dians, so much more familiar w~ith 'Europe. were in!initely mare aware" a! this wan and what it was ail about than "Canadians" generally. That tnagedy at this very moment, is s0 utterly ap- parent to those wha actually know whereof they speak and the fonecast was that, after the war. there would be a tremen- clous rush o! immigration ta the open spaces o! Canada. "Maria Chapdeiaine," tao, shauld be read by ail; it would promote understanding o! the simple faiths of thase who still speak Quebecaise with scarcely no knowledge that there are Can- adians outside o! Quebec.

No greater impression was achieved by Miss Chapman than 7in ber nealistic and poignant ne- . view o! "The Yealing" by Bax- 1ter, and its relation ta child psy- Schology. Regretfully, space won't Lpermit but bare mention of Miss tChapman's other verbal neviews ilhat embraced.

Kitty O'Neill." Words- d worth was quoted as presaging Napolean's downfall and to-day's parallel traced. "There should," maintained Miss Cbapman, "be an Anthology of Poetry for cbil- dren; it would lead ta the aware- ness and the culture we have been ta-day discussing."1 And there were three avenues of profitable reading at aIl times, The Bible, Shakespeare, and good biograpby. Mrs. Rogers, in suggesting a vote o! thanks whicb was accord- ed xith a wealth of expression, thanked Miss Cbapman for her kindness in coming ta impart an -inspiring message, beautifully told." Business session included re- ports by the president, Mrs. Ra- gers, an intensely interesting re- view o! the messages o! the vani- ous speakers during the year, by Mrs. J. H. H.
