Langdon, president of the Timmins Kiwanis for 1941. Mr. Langdon‘s report showed 1941 as one of | l the best years in the history of the | Club.

In all, last year there were 131,319 books borrowed from the Timmins public library. This is an average of over 2525 per week, or approximately 500 for each day the library is open. Growing appreciation of the value of the. Timmins public library, and also proof of its usa@fulness, were shown last year not only in a marked increase in new membership but also by a deâ€" cided increase in the number of books lIcaned. There were 539 more people joined the Timmins public library in 1941 than in the previous year. : Last year the library had a total of 1826 new members. At the end of 1941 the total membership of the library was Records for the past year at the Timmins public library suggest that the people here have been reading more books. In 1941 there were 33,296 more books borrowed than in the preâ€" vious year. Another way to put it would be to say that over 640 more books were read each week in Timmins than during 1940. The increase in the number of books borrowed in 1941 over 1940 equals over 100 a day. â€" 1826 New Members Joined United Church Choir ma ifi #1 m ifaama 4 TiA Timmins Public Library.© During the Past Year _ Mr. Frank Burt, one of the library board, has prepared a graph that gives very interesting facts about the lendâ€" ing of books by the Timmins public library. In the graph the books borâ€" rowed are divided into four classesâ€" Fiction, Nonâ€"fiction, ~Juvenile and French. The following table shows the circulation for 1941, as compared with the previous year:â€"â€" Class 1941 1940 Nonâ€"Fiction French ... Total . ; 131,319 98,0@” It wxll be noted that there is a marked increase in each of the four' classes. The greatest increase in terms , of actual volumes taken out is, of j course, in the fiction classâ€"12,762 more books loaned than in the previous year. The juvenile class shows an inâ€" crease of 10,446 volumes; nonâ€"fiction, 5,639; French, 4,451. Considered from | the standpoint of percentage, however, | the increases are specially interesting. : The graph by Mr.: Burt deals with them from this angle. From this view, the greatest increases were in the juvenile and nonâ€"fiction departments,. both being approximately fifty per cent greater in 1941 than in 1940. From 1935 to 1940, the graph shows, the nonâ€" fiction had risen from 7.5 to 9.7 of the total circulation, while at the same time the fiction reading dropped from 48 to 43 per cent. In 1941 the nonâ€" fiction jumped to 115 per cent. of the whole circulation of the library. This rise .of ~nonâ€"fiction, with the proporâ€" tionate dropping of fiction, indicates a thriving library in the opinion of the experts in such matters.

The tests inâ€" cluded the curling rink (with the T. N. O. bonspiel in progress), the high school and the railway freight shed. Last week The New Liskeard Speaker had the following in reference to the tests:=â€"â€" _ Onakawana Product Being Tried at New Liskeard "Fuel from Ontario‘s own lignite déposiis on the James Bay slope of the province this week provided part of the heat in three New Liskeard ‘buildings, one of them being the curlâ€" ing rink, where the twelfth annual bonspiel of the T. N. O. Curling Asâ€" sociation has been in progress since Monday morning. The other strucâ€" tures were the high schcol and the railway freight sheds. "The lignite is part of the contents of two carloads of the fuel sent north after having been processed in North Bay, it was stated yesterday by W. G. (Nixon, M.L.A., and Industrial \Comâ€" missioner for the railway. Other places where experiments are to be |tried cut from the same carloads are Cochrane and Kirkland Lake, where 'ithe lignite will beused to keep furnaces going in a number of buildings. Practical Tests of Northern Lignite at New Liskeard "In New Liskeard, the lignite was being burned "straight" in the rink and freight sheds, where handstoked furnaces are being used for heating the respective premises. At the high schooal, where the furnace is equipped with a mechanical stoker, a mixtbture ofâ€"coal and lignite was being used, as being more suitable to the type of equipment and the season of the year. ‘There, it was thought, lignite excluâ€" sively could be used in the fall and spring months. "’rhe lignite was first used at the! rink during Tuesday afternoon and the early results were considered to be. good. Yesterday, similar tests were started at the school and sheds. All work is in the nature of a practical: experiment to determine the suitab y of the lignite for ordinary heating pi poses, it was indicated yesterday. ! "Mr. Nixon said that it was desired to demonstrate the Onakawana lignite could ‘be burned in the ordinary type of heating equipment. Housewives in Norih Bay had had an opportunity of trying out the lignite in some instances he said, and it had been reported that they had found it quite suitable for domestic purposes, and especially on baking days. In fact, it had been found by some of the women, it was stated, that it was> particularly good for cooking purposes where a good fire was required."

Last week Mr. Isaacs received a letter from the Lieut.â€"Col. Colshaw, of the Salvation Army through whom the tea is distributed.
