JUST A SECOND AGO?
if Earth's total age, now esti-
mated by geophysicists at about
4.5 billion years, is taken as a
single 24-hour day, today's ocean
basins are scarcely an hour old.
By tile same measure, the cave
dwellers were hunting their prey
less than a second ago; the past
500 years is but a hundredth of a
second, and a 50-year working
life is only one thousandth of a
second.
EXTRA INCH PER YEAR
Earth fractures from the Mid-
Atlantic Ridge cut across Iceland.
The spreading ridge adds nearly
an inch a year to the island's
width.
BATTY STORY!
The fishing bat of Central
America and the Caribees use
echolocation "sonar" to find
food. When the bat locates small
fish at the surface, it skims the
water and spears its prey with
strong talons,
THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG?
The egg came before the
chicken. Birds evolved from rep-
tile stock that was laying eggs
millions of years before the first
prehistoric bird flew.
VAST AREA!
The area drained by the Ama-
zon River is so extensive it would
cover three-fourths of the United
States.
HAVE A SIP....
Peruvian Indians believe that
a man who is struck by lightning
and survives will be restored to
full health by a sip of vicuna
blood.

At 'the board Meeting held in
St. Michael's School in Strafford
a presentation on library re-
source services was made by
Miss Marigold Collins, teacher-
librarian at St. Michael'sSchool,
and Pascal J. Calarco, program
consultant with the Ministry of
Education in Waterloo.
Miss Collins gave an outline
of her duties in developing a
that support the school curricu-
lum in meeting the educational
needs and interests of every in-
dividual child, in working closely
with teachers and making avail-
able every assistance from the
'library for an effective class-
room program and in assisting
with curriculum development and
unit planning .with teachers.
Miss Collins outlined addi-
tional duties she has as a li-
brarian and also presented slides
showing different projects car-
ried out by the students through
the art approach.
Mr. CalarCo told how librar-
ies have evolved in the school
system, that they are a recent
thing in some elementary schools
and something yet to come in
others. He spoke of a greater
stress being placed on language
as a learning vehicle and this is
helped by exposing students to a
wider range of good books.
Mr. Calarco said that in
rural areas students are ill pre-
pared to compete with. students
'from large urban centres with
their large libraries. He stressed
the importance of providing good
libraries for the best quality of
schooling to overcome this in-
equality.
Mr. Calarco showed pictures
of the new library resource cen-
tre at St. Boniface School in
Zurich, to demonstrate what can
be done in a small rural school
(232 pupils), then he showed pic-
tures of how a small wellington
County school at Marden has used
its general purpose room as a
part-time library.
In the question and answer
period Trustee Ted Geoffrey
asked if bookmobiles would fill
the need where no library re-
source centre was available in a
school. Mr. Calarco said it was
not a practical alternative. He
suggested that two or more
schools in the same area share
the services of one librarian.
He said, “Materials will be used
to a greater extent` if they are
located in the school, readily
available to both theleacher and
the students, rather than avail-
able only once a week during a
bookmobile visit."
