He said the Board decided last week to go for an expan- sion to the existing library building. While the necessary side- yard variances may be call- ed "minor," the one on the west side would be 19 feet short, and on the John St. side 45 feet short of the necessary footage spelled out in the zoning by-law. There was some discussion Scugog (From page 12) The first day of school next Tuesday brings with it the annual enumeration day for the Durham Region." You will again recognize the enumerators - Mrs. Camille Crozier for the beaches and Mrs. Betty Ann Freeman for the inland homes. If they 'don't reach you on Tuesday, you may expect them later in the week. The "Head" U.C.W. has three Helen's as members. They are a very congenial group and. recently remembered their former Island friend Trudif Zingg who with her husband runs a: very successful restaurant: in Haliburton and according- ly a visit seemed very desir- able. However a foursome seemed necessary. So lacking another Helen the jovial Elizabeth Stichmann was chosen for the welcome and surprising call to the north eountry. On Sunday the people who attended the Island Church were in for another musical among council members that the local committee of adjustment, which deals with variance applicr ations, may turn the applica- tions back to council for a decision. Mr. Preston told council that the lack of parking spaces may not be as serious as it seems in that there is little requirement for staff parking, there is some park- ing space available on streets in the area, and there is a possibility of some use of a commercial lot on Queen Street by library users. Councillor Jerry Jackman replied that the number of Island "Count Your Blessings'. Rev. Clarke misses the children but anyway he presented his prepared story to the adults as it applied to young and old alike - "Which has more love?' His sermon was - "What are we living for?" Jesus.' message was Service. The Island Church 'has: another project in mind since we understand a Baptismal Font is being prepared. Now, we are look- ing into the prospect of new front doors. The present ones were purchased from Tyrone at the time the Island Church was built. They could be 100 years old and are past continual repair. New doors made up to a Church design will cost about $250. Many people like to donate toward a specific project and this may appeal to some who have not.. already donated toward the other needs to which, response has been much appreciated.

Councillor Don Crosier did not agree, saying the library likely would not be busy during the day time, and thus parking may not be a problem. However, councillor Jack- man said later that building an addition without any parking spaces would be "poor planning," and he noted that a proposed expan- sion to the Baptist Church in Port Perry was turned down a few years ago because of lack of parking. The issue of whether to build a new library or add to the present War Memorial building has been simmering for several months and reached a boil earlier this summer when citizens re- acted against proposals for a new building on the lake- front. Mr. Preston, who personally favoured a new building on the lakefront, told council Monday that the Board's decision to go for an addition came in the face of this publuc resistance. 'Since we would require public funds," he said. "We obviously have to take public sentiment into considera- tion." "If we can't get a Cadillac, we'll hae to settle for a Chev." Last year, the Library board had hoped that con- struction of a new building or addition would be underway by this fall, but that now is an impossibility. The addition would cost about $300,000. The Township council two years ago pledg- ed support of $100,000, and the Board is hoping that the remainder can be met through a public fund raising drive and a Wintario grant for up to $100,000. However, unless the Board has issued tenders for a new' addition by the 'end of this year, that $100,000 commit- ment from Wintario will be withdrawn, and Mr. Preston is not optimistic that Wintario would grant the money in 1980. He suggested after the meeting that if the Board loses the Wintario grant, plans for any expansion of the existing library would likely be lost for several years. Members of council expect that the flood study will be completed by the Township consultants in the very near future. New books at library The following new books have arrived at the library: The New Centurians, J. Wambaugh; The Plot, Irving Wallace; The Anderson Tapes, L. Sanders; Merlin's Keep, M. Brent; The Af- facombe Affair, E. Lemar- chand; Napoleon in Love, R. Delderfield. ' Also: Baby and Child Care, B. Spock; The Scope of Happiness, V. Pandit; Five for Sorrow, Ten for Joy, Rumer Godden; Minerva's Stepchild, H. Forrester; Good Riddance, B. Aber- combie; The Marchington Inheritance, 1. Holland.

Mr. Young said that all tolled, about 40 hours of work went into the repairs, and the car was ready for transport to Quebec on Tuesday of this week.

"Mark did the fibre glassing and he deserves the credit." When asked why he had chosen the Prince Albert Auto -Centre for repairs to the damaged car, crew chief Gary Cummings said simply that "we needed the repairs done quickly." "We went through the yellow pages to find a shop close to Mosport-which had some experience in fibre glassing, and Tony said he could do it." When asked how much the repair bill came to, Tony replied simply "a lot, if it were you or me." But racing is a rich man's sport, and when a car that's worth $150,000 needs repairs, the owners don't worry too much about the price. For Tony Young, Mark Taillon and Doug Hughes, it was a unique experience, the chance to work on a car they likely will never see again at the shop in Prince Albert. 2525525262606 "SEWING | MACHINE | | REPAIRS | d In Your Own Home § i 20 Years Experience GIL RUMMENIE RRS LN @ i
