MACPHERSON PHONE 703 WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS EDITOR ROBERT CORBETT PHONE 703 Power Cuts Seem To Aid Library Circulation _ Though frequent power cuts in November made things difficult for reading at the library, circulation of books and magazines was definitely increased, according to a report by Mrs. Harry Bracey, librarian. Said Mrs. Bracey: "In spite of the shorter evening time for reading there has been no de- hes circulation to date. What e final effect will be may be- evident during the winter pjonths. The average person dislikes g through dark streets to the i"However there has been an in- crease to the end of November, with #30 more books being taken out than in the previous November. Total number of books circulated this month was 2,855, being 1,892 adult and 963 juvenile. There were 48 new members added, 20 adult and 28 Juvenile. Better Quality "This fall the quality of books be- 16g published seems to be somewhat proved. Even the publishers have admitted there has been a dearth of good reading during the last few yeurs, Lately better books are being written with the trend in popularity being toward historical novels. A list of Canadian books which we have, was published in The Times-Gazette during Canadian Book Week. "As to Whitby's younger readers, from four to twelve years old, there are many more of this age group in town now as shown by the crowding of the schools. There is a rush to the library every day at four o'clock. Keeping the teen-age books in a separate section has helped relieve the congestion a little. The trend in juvenile readings is, as always, with the younger ones liking action and suspense, Lately, however, due to the attractive books bought recently, they have done a great deal of non- fiction reading about animals, birds, travel and history «lor instance, the number of books Study formerly taken out™Was onth but it now averages 50." il Participating BISHOP A.

DEMON IDENTIFIED That horrible demon of "Demon In the Dark" last week was none other than Robert Lynch, a mem- ber of Whitby Modern Players.

With many of the houses similar to each other in construction, they are being erected on an assembly line basis.

A good job for the new council- lors would be to rectify the num- bering of houses in Whitby which has been a laugh ever since the numbers were put on. Another thing wouldfbe to name ahd mark all the streets in Whitby. Strangers coming to town looking for certain addresses are dumb- founded. I don't think a quarter of the population of the town know half the street names or where they are. How about doing something about this? "Citizen" Whitby, Ont. Dec. 4, 1948 lins.

Billester Tells Life Story Tonight At BPU Born in Russia, and a frequent visitor there, Dr. Michael Billester of California, spoke at the Baptist church Sunday morning. Though brought. up in the Greek Orthodox church He became converted after attending a mission 'in Montreal. He came to Canada at the age of 15. Religious conditions in Russia were related by Dr. Billester. As a youth he attended church with his family, walking a long way to the service which was held in an unheated church. Custom in those days was for the congregation to stand dur- ing the whole service. The church- es were unheated. He was in Russia during the last war and subject to some of the Hitler-inspired persecution. A brother also severely suffered for his religion. Dr. Billester will continue his story at the Tri Phi Club meeting in the Baptist church tonight.

A number of Oshawa members were present. The Auxiliary especially thanks Mrs. Bert Harrison who was the convener for the bazaar. She had a lot of hard work but she certainly did a grand job. Several ways in which members of All Saints' Anglican 'Men's Club might contribute to the good of their church were suggested by A. Kelso Roberts, K.C. of Toronto, speaking last night at the evening service which was conducted by members of the club. \ * "You should have a membership" well informed on church matters and your program of work outlined," said 'Mr, Roberts. "In some parishes, the keeping of parish records is a duty of the Men's Club." Another suggestion was that laymen who are delegated to the synod, some of whom are club members, could re- port to the club on the work of the synod. A study of the meaning of church symbols can be spiritually enlight- ening to club members, he said. Finally, in some localities the club can co-operate with the church with the object of informing the laity on ecclesiastical matters. Mr. Roberts referred to a recent book "The Bond Between Us" writ- ten by a medical missionary. The work is full of interest about life itself and very well illustrates the link religion and science, psycholog- ical science and life. These things are revealed in this book which is a work of great spiritual value, Mr. Roberts expressed the belief that one reaction to the recent terrible war is now that people are turning more and more to the church for guidance. He said that there are signs of a world-wide spiritual awakening, possibly as a counter- movement to the militant atheism of Russia. Mr. Roberts, a Toronto solicitor, had driven from North Bay yester- day in order to keep his appoint- ment to speak in Whitby, FOG CLEARS Toronto, Dec. 6--(CP)--A dense for which moved in on Southern Ontario Saturday night, cancelling airplane flights. and snarling high- way traffic, was dispersed Sunday by cooler weather.
