MAC - "Read for Pleasure, Profit and Progress". This is the slogan be- ing used for Library Week, April third to ninth, but is is one that could, and should, be-used all 52 weeks of the year. Where, for the same money and effort, could one secure the same entertainment in a good book? But note, I said a GOOD book. I do not mean these trashy, fleshy, parcels of filth that are displayed on racks, and shelves, right under the noses of our children and teen- agers, in practically every book store and restaurant in the coun- try. And incidently, it's ngt only teenagers that peer at them and sidle up to the counter to lay down fifty cents and mumble, "T gotta book." It's really surprisin§, the number of men and women, who should, and probably do, know better, who buy this trash and read it, when so many excellent books, with intriguing plots, scin- tillating humour and clever dia- logue are available for only: a few cents. Educational books, too, on al- most any subject you could name, are waiting for your decision to read them. Books. of reference, na- ture stories and tales of adventure should mean more to your child- ren than those horrid and horrify- ing "comic" books. Granted, there are a few of the comics that are readable, but it is up to parents to see to it that their children are not allowed to buy or trade. crime but instead, from the ttime they are able to en- joy looking at pictures and:listen- ing to stories, to instill in them a love of good, clean, humorous and informative reading. And through your library, for less than the price of one trashy book or mag- azine, you can secure a full year's reading of good literature. When: our children were grow- ing up we made a game, at meal- times, of quoting a certain sen- tence from some book we had read, or a line or two from a poem, and who ever could tell its source, could quote the next one. Naming the author of books or poems was another of our games, but. my husband usually won out because he has always had a memory like an elephant's, particularly for poetry. Many articles have been writ- ten recently regarding the ad- vance of medical techniques and modern equipment, and the last is- sue of Hospital Highlights, publish- ed quarterly by the Ontario Hos- pital Association, told of these newly developed instruments which are aiding medical science: A knife which is swallowed by a patient so that slivers of tissue can be sliced off the intestines for study under a microscope. A miniature. sewing machine which stitches intestines together. A combination radar and sonar instrument that can locate hidden trouble in the eyes. An electronic squirter that in- jects a special dye into the arter- ies and automatically x-rays them. A push-button bomb that steril- izes a patient's skin for surgery by. spraying it with an- antigerm film. Valves made out of skin, that work like shutters for windows, carved into the windpipes of pa- tients with breathing difficulties.

News from the Svelyn Shoppe You will be faultlessly groomed now, and ready to sail into the Easter Parade or off to Europe this summer, if you are wearing a Lombardi model suit by Wolsey, Britain's leading makers of Fa- shion Knitwear, (does not sag or stretch). These two and three piece suits are entirely different than anything we have shown be- fore. Fine checks in boxy and belted styles, in unusual color combinations or plain knit. One of these attractive suits would make the perfect traveller, in sizes 12, 14, 16 and 18. 'See our window). Worn with Schaparelli gloves of fmest imported Egyptian cotton, you will feel well groomed at all times. Then, too, there are the longer or the popular wrist-bone length gloves which have caught the mood of Paris, sleek and ele- gant on your hands. These are by the well-known Paris Glove. With a hat from Spencer, in the high cloche, turban or flower-laden style, or one of the popular veils with saucy bows and a rose perch- ed on top, you-will have even the hard-to-please male nodding his head in approval. We are pleased to announce that Miss Denise Brousseau won the $15.00 certificate and Miss Marilyn McQuaid, the $10.00 one, given in connection with Evelyn's Anniver- sary Special last week. THE SHOPPE School Librarian When children come for books to use in class, I welcome their requests with all my heart; Experience has taught me what they like In history, mythology, or art. When science occupies their eager minds, I proudly show new books on satellites Or help them find. material for talks On aardvarks, marmosets, or z00- phytes. Allsthis is happiness, yet comes a time I know a happiness of greater measure That's when a child loeks up re- questing me To recommend some books to read for pleasure. -- Beryl Stewart Mrs. Ruth Ryan Mrs. Ruth Robins Ryan, wife cf Thomas Francis Ryan, former sportsman, auctioneer and ax gallery owner, died last Friday following a heart attack.
