Miss Duff is travelling secretary for the W.C.T.U. and does welfare work among young women, and in this way is constantly seeing the evil effects of intemperance. She warned her hearers and proved her words, that the great liquor in- terests are growing stronger every year, and harder to fight, also that the younger generation are growing up accustomed to the evils found in a drink-laden country. For the sake of this younger generation, she hoped that all would work to abolish the sale of liquor in Ontario. rns etl sr THE STORY OF PORT PERRY PUBLIC LIBRARY (continued from front page) bought it to save the building from the hands of a junk dealer. They were willing to sell for the value of the mortgage, which was a thousand dollars, but neither the Library Board or the War Memorial Committee had the money to buy it. The late Dr. Mellow and Mr, Figary, the Reeve at that time, were both very interested in the Library as a Mem- orial and through their efforts in February, 1924, the Associate Library became a Public Free Library to be supported by the town. Being already an Associate Library all that was necessary was to circulate a petition to get the signature of thirty of the electors. This to be presented to the Council. A new Library Board was then formed consisting of three appointed by the Council and three by the Board of Education, who at once set about to purchase the property. They re- ceived from the town a rate of less than % of a mill on the dollar for the yearly maintenance of the Library. By careful economy two hundred dollars was saved each year to pay off the mortgage and in five years they owned the property free of encumbrance. Meanwhile the War Memorial Com- mittee and the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire, were work- ing to raise money for the new build- ing. It proved to be very uphill work. Dr. Mellow, the Chairman of the Library Board, and Mr. Figary had been working hard. They were both taken by death within two years and it was most difficult to replace them. An architect had been secured, plans had been drawn and accepted, gravel had been drawn for the foundation and I believe that if both or either of these men had been spared our Lib- rary to-day would have been an ac- complished fact. In April, 1926, our Public and High Schools were destroyed by fire. This seemed the last straw. The citizens naturally felt it impossible to get along without schools and every ounce of interest and energy was concen- trated on our new school. The question of the Library was for the time being completely sub- merged. A few interested citizens have tried to keep the spark alive and Spring of 1932. borrowers reached 930 which is treble the number during the life of the now we are hoping to build in the} In the year 1930 the number of : LEAP YEAR DANCE : A Leap Year Dance will be held in the Town Hall, Schigog, on Monday, January 25th, Elaxpickers Orchestra.
