There is No Need to Suffer from That Cold! as gifts of Council thought a Library would be all right. ‘On the part of the peoâ€" ple in general, however, there was not any startling enthusiasm such as might be expected at a Community Christmas Tree. The Council did its part, however, and eventually, on Saturday, May 28th, 1921, a byâ€"law The Advance has received the letter published below, in regard to a Pubâ€" lic Library for the Town of Timmins. It may be pointed out that in a techâ€" nical way Timmins has a public librâ€" ary, or rather everything in conneeâ€" tion with a public library except the premises, the books, a librarian, and a few other little matters. The history of the Timmins Public Tibrary is inâ€" teresting or irritating, or a little of both. Mr.C. 8. Carter, at the time Principal of the . Timmins â€" Public School, some years ago gave great effort and interest to the advocacy of a public library for Timmins. _ He received the, enthusiastic support of The Advance, but while scores of citizens expressed approval and all that, no one else seemed to ‘be forward with any actual assistance in the matâ€" ter. As usual with anything that apâ€" peared to be to the benefit of the peoâ€" ple of the town, Dr. MciInnis, the Mayor, was friendly disposed to the library proposal, and other members PUBLIG LIBRARY NEEDED FOR THE TOWN DF TIMMINS way the library would have been in active operation two years ago. â€" The Saturday, May 28th, 1921, a byâ€"law was submitted to the ratepayers in the matter. ‘Only 40 voted on the byâ€" law, ‘but the vote was overwhelmingly in favour of the library, only two voting against. â€" Until Nov. 14th, 1921, the matter rested. Efforts by Mr. Carter and The Advance in the meantime were followed by the next step. On Nov. 14th, the Council apâ€" pointed the Mayor _ and Councillors Longmore and King as the Council‘s representatives for the Labrary Board Thus the matter rested until Feb. 15th 1922, when the Council reâ€"appointed its representatives and urged the Public and Separate School Boards respectively to name their representâ€" atives as required by the Public Tiâ€" brary Act. No action in the way of the actual establishment of a library resulted from this second_ appointâ€" ment of representatives, so the matter was again pressed to attention. It was found then that the representaâ€" tives should have been appointed for one, two and three years respectively and this procedure had not heen ohbâ€" served. _ The Council remedied this defect on March 12th, 1923, by apâ€" pointing (MMrs. J. A. Melnnis for three years, iMr. D. Ostrosser for two years, and Mrs. E. L. Longmore for one year as the Council‘s representatives on the Public Library Board. The next chapter remains to be written. . The Library Board has apparently never organized or taken up its duties. The situation is that the ratepayers apâ€" proved the expenditure required for the establishment of a public library, the Council passed the necessary reâ€" solittions and \byâ€"laws in the matter, the Government was willing to. loan 600 volumes as a nucleus for the new library, many citizens had volunteerâ€" ed to contribute books when the 1iâ€" brary was ready to open, at one time Mr. Carter had located premises that could be used for library purposes, and the representatives for the Counâ€" cil on the Board were duly appointed. But no further progress seemed to be made. â€" As Mr. Carter explained in discussing the question years ago, the procedure to be followed was for the Council to name its three repreâ€" sentatives, the Public School Board to appoint three and the Separate School Board two. Then these eight representatives should meet and orâ€" wanize, and after appointing a chairâ€" man, securing premises, librarian, etc. get the library in actual operation. The Advance ‘believes that a Public Library should be established in Timâ€" mins. If The Advance had had its ‘‘Bookworm‘‘ Urges the Council for 1924 to Take Action in the Matter. THE PORCUPINE ApÂ¥aAmCZR Advance welcomes **Bookworm‘‘ to the ramnks of the few who believe enâ€" ough in the virtue and advantage of a public library to agitate for onue. The letter signed by **Bookworm" is as follows :â€" To the Editor of The Advance. 1 sometimes contemplate with horâ€" ror the fate of the worker in our town who toils for days and weeks on end. He may have constant employment and good wages, but I do not think he can ‘be a happy man. A man of one idea gets morose, and the man who plies a shovel or an axe at a cerâ€" tain object day after day must take brain atrophy sooner or later. Compare his lot with a newspaper reporter by way of contrast, or â€"an editor. _ What a vista of usefulness they have, and the variety of occupaâ€" tion keeps a man‘s mind ever open to impressions of sanity. Just as a manâ€"is in. a greater or less degree known by the company he keeps, so a man orboy is known by the literaâ€" ture he reads. Ask any of our presâ€" ent day boys what he is reading and he will at onee show you a **bklood" of the smallest type, which ruins the eyesight, and gives him a taste for magazines and literature which will do him not the slightest good in givâ€" ing him lofty ideas and high princiâ€" ples. Dear Sir:â€"Allow me through the mediuim of your valuable columns ‘to submit a suggestion which I think is worthy of consideration by the memâ€" bers of our new Town Council, viz., the establishment of a Public Library in Timmins. A great many people forget what a library is. It is not merely a collâ€" ection of books. It is not a museum. It is a place where are enshrined the best material of the ageâ€"collected wisdom handed down the centuries, embracing all sides and shades of huâ€" man nature. _ Rightly directed by the experience of the Jibrarian, the searcher after knowledge can be led in the right avenue to the city of truth, where he may bangquet at his leisure, and ascertain how far ‘he has progressed since the time of his fathâ€" ers, who knew not what a public liâ€" brary was. Now Mayor MeInnis and Council, let Timmins have a puhli(' library, and if a man or a boy is ignorant he can only blame his own laziness and indifference if he does not aequire a literary knowledge. ‘ I am, yours, etc., FORD MOTOR COMPANY OF CANADA, LIMITED, FORD, ontaRio The Geo.
