Today the Society has close to 500 members and 28 serâ€" gelves unable to cope with the pressures of finding lodgings, emâ€" ployment, or people to talk to, and promptly landed back in jail.

Books In Many Languages Miss Dixon, Chief Librarian at the Rexdale Branch of the Etobiâ€" coke Public Library, reports that 100 Dutch books and 25 German books have recently been borrowed from the Toronto Public Library. These augment the present supply of books in languages other than English. Users of the Library will have noticed the existing collection of books in Dutch, German and French, mostly in paperback form, which has been available for some Mr. M. Wilhelm, General Superâ€" itendent, says that attendance and enthusiasm on the part of both teachers and pupils have increased due to improved conditions under the new arrangements. "There is also a small but conâ€" stant demand for Polish and Finâ€" nish books," says Miss Dixon, "and these are borrowed from the Toâ€" ronto Library, two at a time. When the reader returns the two he has, we obtain two more for®him. While the Rexdale Branch has many Dutch books on hand, beâ€" cause of the large number of Dutchâ€"speaking members of the community, the Humber _ Bay Branch has a permanent supply of Italian books to meet the deâ€" mand there. These are shared with other branches as requested. Sight Saving Books ‘The Rexdale Library has also a collection of "Sight Saving" books, printed in large type.

It is this inability to cope with life that has led many girls down the wrong path, and if they are simply released from prison with no preâ€"release education, they find that they still can‘t manage these same problems. The Elizabeth Fry Society has a residence on Maitâ€" land Street, where exâ€"prisoners can live through their transitional period.

"These girls are like alcoholies, unless they admit they have a problem, we cannot help them," she said. In some cases, offenders are paroiled to one of the case workâ€" ers for the Society. However, the present residence only has room for eleven girls, and the society is contemplating the building of larger accommodation and staff, to handle the increased number of girls who appeal to them for help.
