Chief Librarian Rosemary Mar- chand said the three reference books, all volumes '"'C", are from the World Book, the New American Encyclopeadia, and the New Book of Knowledge collections. The books were noticed missing late last week. Marchand said she realizes it is a rare request to put in the newspaper, but she hoped that maybe someone would read about it, happen to notice the books lying around and return them. According to the Librarian, it is not a regular practice to publicize when books are missing, but in this case because they are from complete series', to replace the missing volumes they would have to purchase the complete sets again. Because the sets of encyclopeadias run anywhere from $800 to $1,500, Marchand said it would take a couple of years before the Library could restore them. The Librarian said she is not ac- cusing anyone of stealing them, ad- ding they could have been accidently taken out without realizing they were to remain in the building. "Tm not asking anyone to come forth and admit they have the books,"' said Marchand. "I don't care who has them, I just want them returned."' "We have a drop box where they could be left without anyone knowing who' it is." Dorion, Karen Borky, Carrie Reid, Chantal Cote, Claire Marchildon, and Sara spell. Morion!

Flannigan said the board will examine the working conditions considering workload, secretarial assistance, safety in the workplace, educational leave, legal representation and the mechanism the doctors have for addressing workplace concerns. Caplan's assistant added the government has also agreed that no reprisal will be taken against any of the members of the association who took part in the study sessions over the last month. couldn't guess these girls behind the dark glasses are (from left to right) Lisa " Spelling now a fundraiser Students at Penetanguishene's Corpus Christi Public School are earning money this week from spelling. According to Prin- cipal Henry Bisschop, the pupils are par- ticipating in a spell-a- thon to help raise money to subsidize field trips and purchasing of equipment.
