He states that he Library In Downsview Does Roaring Summer Business The Downsview branch of the North York Library system has loaned out more than 117,240 books since its opening on March 6, this year, reports Bohus Derer, Librarian in charge of the branch. Though the number of people borrowing books is down in com:â€" parison with winter figures, the number of books out on loan has not dropped proportionateâ€" ly, said Mr. Derer. _° ‘The reason for this of course, is that members are taking out more books than they normally do during the winter period, for holiday reading, and for taking to the cottage," he said. To . accommodate vacationing bookworms, the library has exâ€" tended its borrowing period from the usual two week period to four weeks, during the sumâ€" mermonths.

T hey are, (standing) Miss Olive ers at the library during the summer months, and the library, which is situated right next to Downsview Plaza, at Keele and Wilson, is a favorite spot with the . youngsters on Saturdays when they can browse to their hearts content while parents do their shopping. Youngsters like Wanda Guris, 10, and her brother Joey, 5, of 2854 Keele St., are typical of the younger element that find the library a rich source of fun and entertainment. Wanda is an avid ‘Whodunit‘ fan, and on each visit she picks enough mystery novels to last her for two weeks. She expressâ€" ed no preference for a particular author, and says she will read any of them, ‘jjust so long as they are mystery stories." Brother Joey, not to be left out of the discussion volunteered the information that, "I like anâ€" imal books best." and demonâ€" has seen customers enter the lot to park, and failing to find a vacant spot, have driven away. A check on the licâ€" ense plates of the cars parking all day at the lot has revealed that a number of the cars belong to Weston merchâ€" ants.

When completed, the base* ment will house an auditorium with podium and grand piano, which will be available to comâ€" munity groups for cultural activâ€" ities, such as drama, etc. Adjoinâ€" ing the auditorium will be a well equipped kitchen, with a servin/counter into the auditorâ€" ium so that refreshments can be served at functions, An Exhibit Room will also be featured ‘ (Continued on page 7) I,Photo Display Of Currier And = Ives, Aug. 4â€"13 "CLOGGING" OF TOWN‘S PARKING "CHASING BUYERS OUT OF WESTON" A unique display of 22 color photographs of Currier & Ives prints is being presented at the Dalziel Barn, Pioneer Village, ‘Black Creek Conservation Area, Jane Street and Steeles Avenue, from August 4 to August 13 inâ€" clusive.

Mr. St. Arnaud is not alone in thinking that parking is one of the most important problems impeding the prosperity of the town. Other merchants â€" feel much the same as he. Maurice Weisdorf in a recent story carried by the Advertiser, believes free parking is essenâ€" tial if customers are to be wooed away from the shopping plazas, where parking is plentiful. The present method employed by Weston merchants of giving a coupon for parking to custâ€" omers is . still â€" unsatisfactory, according to Mr. Weisdorf, who claims that even asking the merchant for a parking coupon is an irritating chore for shopâ€" pers, and is an irritation not to be found in a shopping plaza. associated with business such as Boards of Trade, Chambers of Commerce, Service clubs etc., to _ stimulate _ and _ intensify through their activities and memberships, participation | in all phases of political life in Canada. _ "Canadian industry and comâ€" \ merce can no longer afford to | continue to ignore the challenge | that is theirs to participate actâ€" | ively in".
