Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, JuIy 28, 1982, 3 ~am 1an ~ret nrkn2Final date set for filing 4-Hers - judging skiIIs The Town of Newcastle council has recently referred a complaint as to parking of vçhicles on Duchess to Town staff for a report and recom- mendation. Council received a ltter from Mrs. V. Bridger, Duchess Street, Orono, in which complaints were lodg- ed as to parking on Duchess Street. It was pointed out that when cars, bus and unlicensed vehicles line both sides of the street it makes it difficult to get past them. Mrs. Bridger states it makes it The Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Educa- tion has given approval for the installation of a 3M Library Detection System at Clarke High in an effort to reduce the loss of library books that is prevalent not only in Clarke but in other High schools within the jurisdiction. In a report to the board and from comments by Mr. Winston, teacher-librarian at Clarke, the school in the past term lost something like $5,700 in library books and materials from the library. Mr. Moorecroft, superinten- dent of programt for the board, stated that in some cases losses tend to exceed the annual budget for purchasing new material. Winston stated that al books are not deliberately stolen but misplaced and possibly are sitting around homes in the Clarke High School area. He asks that such missing books if found in the home should be return- ed to the school. The system to be installed Visitors to the Bowman-, ville Museum, including a tour of 72 people from Coutz, Indiana, are enjoying the July exhibition called Busy Fingers as well as pic- nmcs under the trees where tables are provided. Summer school students are also tak- ing their art supplies to the Museum, to do some sket- ching of the artifact s of yesteryear. The Museum's extensive doîl collection, is on display as well as quilts and hooked rugs handcrafted by "busy fingers." The items while decorative in their time were essential in the home and women spent long hours at "bees" quilting from pat- terns passed amongst com- munities. The Friends of the Museum, the volunteers, were successful in being awarded *a Wintario grant and will be able to add to the Museum doit collection. The federal government has enabled the Museum to hire three university students who live in Solina, Hampton and Bowmanville to catalogue the çny artifacts belonging to e _cMusem-hether through difficult in getting in and out of their own driveway. The letter points ouùt that one neighbour besides park- ing unlicensed cars on the road is also doing body work in their garage. It is also stated, that the, street would have to be seen to understand and that allow- ing parking on one side would not eliminate the pro- blems occuring. It was also pointed out that the parking problem started this spring. is to cost $12,300.00 which cornes out of budgeted funds for the system. Othd'r schools will have similar, detecting equipment installed in future years. It is expected that one school will be equipped each year until all high schools contain the equipment. The equipmnent'consists of a "Sensing Unit, a single lat- tice unit that sounds an alarm if unprocessed books are car- ried through. The equipment is simple to instaîl and operate and does not require additional staff. In a survey of 29 secondary schools loss of books was reduced by 88 percent through the use of the system. To operate the system a strip of 'tattle tape' is instaîl- cd in each library book and sensitized before being placed on the shelf. When a book is taken out it is processed and desensitized to then be taken out through the lattice unit. An attempt to take a book through the lattice without being properly processed will set off the alarm. donation or purchase.
