I. .SERVICE 'The Board was indeed pleased to re, ceive a visit from Mr. Mowat after some correspondence regarding with- holding of their grant this year on the Municipal Grant. ' The Board was suffering from the '| fact that our population had increased while the annual grant from the town remained at $726, which figure is no longer 60c. per capita and therefore the Department this year withheld their contribution of 209 -bonus grant of this $726 as they can only pay when the Municipal grant is at least 20¢. per capita. The schedule is as follows: In towns from 1000 to 1999 where the grant js 60c. to 60c. per capita they will pay 20% and if the grant is 6l¢ to 70¢c. per capita, they will pay 30% and on up but as that is rather more than we could expect our City Fathers to contribute we will not re- gale you with the whole schedule; This year the Council is coming to the rescue so that in 1962 we may again receive our bonus from the De- partment on'this item, Mr. Mowat spent part of the after- noon with Mrs. Ingram and met some of the Board and was taken to the Delicateria for supper after which he returned to the Library to meet the full Board and Mrs. Harris our former Chairman and, we hoped to haye the Town Council who had been invited to meet Mr, Mowat and hear an ex- planation from him of the basis for Department grants, but the Council thought that the attendance of the Reeve, who is a member of the Board, was enough and Mr. Iayes could be depended upon to grasp the situation, Mr, Mowat is very pleased not only with. our splendid building, which he praised very highly, but also with the functioning of the Library itself and was very anxious to assist with=sug- gestions and advice, and directions as to how to obtain maximum grants, He also was anxious to expand the useful- ness of the children's section and aug- ment the number of child patrons and to this end suggested sending his assistant, Miss Margaret Hughes to spend an afternoon with our librarian going over the children's section. Thiy kind offer was jumped at and one afternoon Jast week, Miss Hughes came down and spent hours with Mrs. Ingram giving many helpful sugges- tions nad much useful advice and also assisted in weeding out outworn books and 'books not attractive to children, and which we hope will be replaced at an early date with a better selection which will increase our youthful pat- rons. It is-a pleasure to find the ment standing behind our Board in their effort to make it more valuable to the public and we look for further assistance and hope some of it will be financial. ort Perry's Second Fire Within Week Mr. and Mrs. Wm, Walker suffered severe damage to their house and furnishings in a flash fire at noon on Thursday last week, ' Mrs. Walker was preparing fat for deep frying and accidentally spilled some onto the hot stove which caused a flare-up.

Your Friends of Scugoy: A large decorated box containing a supply of kjtchen utensils in Red and White enamel were presented to Allan and Evelyn. (Someone with a great sense of humour-had- also -managed-to pack a few things in with these lovely gifts that caused much_merriment.) After these grand presents were open- ed a Tri-Light Lamp and a large plate glass mirror was also presented to them from our Island folk along with the enamel ware, Evi lyn and Allan made very suit- able remarks, After everyone sang "For They are Jolly Good Fellgws", a sing-song followed which evéryone geeme | to enjoy.
