Death Came Suddenly I To Mr. Samuel Leach . — - Jf . r Congenial Resident Of, .Lucknow Passes Away After Lengthy Ill­ ness—Funeral Today. Mr. Samued Leach passed away suddenly on Tuesday morning after an illness of three years,, but at a -time- when—his - condition- -seemed- somewhat improved. Born near Tillsonburg 72 years ago, Mr. Leach came to Paramount in 1889 where he became engaged in learning-the trade of cheese mak­ ing. “In the fall of 1893 he married Catherine Pickering of Paramount, who predeceased him fourteen years ago. " At the time of his marriage he!” had' learned his trade and for nine years he was engaged, in the indus-. try in various ^factories in the dis­ trict. Upon coming to -the-' village some thirty-five years ago, Mr. Leach was employed as engineer at the local fufnitUrd factory and later for 15 years was Pumpman for the C, N. R. , succeeding the late George Matheson in this capacity. > Mr. Lqaph, who was a member of the Presbyterian church, was a con­ genial man and will be kindly re^ membered by his acquaintances as a patient, cheerful sufferer, and one who was very- appreciative of the visits of hjs friends during his long illness. ' ’ . 'The funeral service is -being held in the Presbyterian church at 3.30 today (Thursday) conducted by' his minister, Rev. C. H. MacDonald, with interment in Greenhill ceme­tery. • ’ ' ‘ I lift.

Saturday there MU be in evidence a framed portrait of Andrew Carnegie" This has recently been received in connection witbj.the centennial cele­ bration of the birth of this noted philanthropist and. Steel magpate who gave nearly.$65,000,000 to build, endow and equip almost 3000 librar­ ies throughout the English speaking world- These with 8,182 church, organs made possible by hi's contri­ butions, are regarded as the more personal »of his many benefactions which totalled $350,000,000. Mr. Carnegie died in 1919, but the Carnegie Corporation, which he founded, in 19,11, has continued his library benefactions. No. , library buildings have been buflt since 1917, when building activities were halted because- of the World War,' but the corpofation.hasaided:.in.promoting the library idea in other ways. Will ’Open Saturday Locally, the Carnegie Library, will re-open, following three and a half weeks that the room has been closed while a new system of handling books is being installed.' This system is a popular one among libraries to- dayf A card system is adopted that enables a clo^e check being ke/pt on all books taken out, It also includes a classification, filing and recording -System that Will simplify and facili-. Late the operating of this public service. • ’ ' The work is being carried on un­ der the direction of Miss Irene Boes B.A., of Toronto, and a graduate of the. Library School. She is assisted by the Librarian, Miss Lou Trelea- ven who has been in charge of the Library and has done efficient work continually for practically a quarter of a century. Misses Martha McCal­ lum and Margaret McQu.illin are al­ so assisting in the work and while rot complete will be advanced to a point to permit the Library to open this (Saturday.' There are about 4000. volumes On the shelves at present, while abput another thousand have been weeded out, some of which (can be repaired, while* Others have to be destroyed due to misuse. The lack of caro^gfv- en« books in some cases, is nothing short . of shameful, and: among the WOO diiapidated books on hand there .are;, .those,., that., are comparatively . ed by readers’ fees and municipal grants: This was in the “Old Town Hall,” with Robert Graham <. as lib­ rarian, which office he held for a short time after the new Carnegie Library was built in 1910.’Miss Tre­ leaven succeeded, him as librarian. Fiction Not So Popular In Mr. . Graham’s 1908 report to the village council, he stated, there were 2968 volumes and 250 readers. Fiction then | was not so popular a« today, as his summary of books read will show: History 255, Biography 203, Travel 337, Science 168, Gener­ al Literature 473, Poetical 47, Re- K ligious 470, Fiction 235, Miscellan­ eous 690. 1910.

The matter (was first taken up in 1905 and 1906 when the Council r\ot that1 year decided to purchase the present, site. Difficulties arose and nothing 'further was done until 1909, at which time Mr. John Joynt was reeve. Difficulties were then ironed out and it was agreed with Mr. An-^> drew Carnegie to erect a municipal building and library at a cost of not less than $10000., of v/hich the above benefactor contributed #7500. . In November of that year a mon­ ey By-Law of $3500 was supported by the ratepayers and shortly after the balance of the Carnegie gift was received in full. The Library Board at that time r was composed of .Drs. Elliott and Spence ahd Messrs. J. G. Anderson, G. H. Smith and G. A. siddall. The village council included Fteeve Joynt and Councillors Lawirehce, J. G. Murdock, Moorehouse Mitchell and J.- j. Henderson; The building com-, ffiittee" of three was Joynt, G. H. Smitbr**and J. J.
