Jack Tewsley ,teller of the Bank of Montreal, who recently underwent an operation for appendicitis in the Kingston General Hospital, returned to Gananoque yesterday.

Mrs, Joseph Muchmore, who has been with her parents, Mr, and Mrs. John Bishop, for the past few weeks, returned to Pontiac yesterday, ac- companied by her Grother, Jack Bishop. The annual meeting of the public and Miss today in ing last when the election of offi- cers and committees took place as follows: President, J. C. Linklater; treasurer, C. J. Wilson; secretary, Mrs. W. F. LaQue; library commit. tee, W.'B. Mudie (chairman), Mrs. J. R. Johnson, Jr., 'L. 8. Barr and Mrs. LaQue; property committee, Miss Heffernan, chairman, Mr. Mu- die and Mrs. LaQue; finance, L. 8. Barr (chairman), Dr. Stedman, Mrs, Johnson, C. J. Wilson, Mr. Linkla- ter to act ex-officio on each commit- tee. Librarians, Miss Mabel Carpenter, Mrs. George Whaley, assistant. The report for the past year's ac- tivities was an excellent one and showed the library to be forging steadily ahead, Every home in the town has one or more members and everybody apparently fig taking an interest in the library. Ome inter- esting item reported by the chairman of the property committee was that of some very fine book racks which had been made by W. Indie. It Was such a fine job in fact that Mr. Mudie almost found it necessary to call in some 6f his brother bar- risters so he could make an afida- vit that the work had actually been done by him. Not every library board can boast of a clever lawyer versatile that when funds are low or carpenters scarce the chairman of the library committee can produce book racks or anything else in that line which are worthy of a first class cabinet maker. High compli- ment wag paid to the excellent work of the lbrarians during the past year, and the thorough satisfaction their service is giving the board and members of the library.
