LIBRARY PROGRAM "The board is committed to a policy of developing a full} library program in all schools under its own jurisdiction," Mr. Mcllwain said. One very signifi- cant beginning has been made with the establishment of the first central library at the Earl 4.-Fairman Public School. This should be open around the end of next month. Coinciding with this progress is the knowledge the first teacher-librarian will be ap- pointed to initiate library pro- grams in the entire school system, A physical education consul- tant engaged at the beginning of the present school term was BEFORE THE MAGISTRATE REBEKAH LODGE HOLDS MEETING The meeting of Benevolent}Committee will be held Feb.| Rebekah Lodge pras held in the|1.

So if you're in mixed company, here are some stotis- tics you con use for both sides. Women hold about 39% of oll driving licences, yet last yeor they got into only 19% of all accidents. So that's simple. They're the safest drivers, huh? But wait o minute there gals. Another one of those statisticions kept on digging ond he come up with the conclusion thot men drive more than women, Figuring it out on en accident-per- miles travelled basis it comes out thet men have 18% fewer accidents by day and 3% fewer by night, If you're still not sotistied with the figures you can take it up with the U Bureau of Roads who-issued them.
