REPRESENTATIVES OVERSEAS. in 40,000 shelves, each shelf being adjustable not only in each tier, but re-, movable and interchangeable through- out the whole stack. The total floor area of the stacks is about 7,000 square yards, The book Service from the stack is controlled from the second tier from the Superintendent's desk. Near. y are gravity tubes through which the book applications forms are shot, a system of message tubes back to the counter and to •every stack floor. The "Great. Hall" In the centre is the "Great Hall" which is the principal reading room. It measures 1.27 feet in diameter and rises to a height of 61 feet. Around the inside of the dome are the follow- ing words from Proverbs IV, verses seven to nine: Wisdom 'is the principal thing and with all thy getting get under standing Exalt her, and she shall promete thee; she shall bring thee to honour, when thou Bost em- brace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace; a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee. The Hall seats over 300 readers and the tables radiate from the service counter in the centre. Around this reading room are open shelves for about 10,000 volumes, arranged in shallow alcoves between 28 scagliola columns. The Periodical Room contains all general 'publications and files of the principal daily papers for four weeks `THE MANCHESTER LIBRARY By C. j, Aillaon, Jr. I was alone the day representatives of our party were booked to visit the 'City of Manchester. Two other wem- bers of the party who were to have .accompanied me found themselves..in- volved in other things which were of more interest to them, and conseque- ntly I alone saw things which would, 14 lave been of great interest to the whole party. One of these was a visit to the Manchester Central Library; a second was an inspection of the Labor Training Centre and a third was , luncheon with the Federation of 4111 Weekly Newspapers in session that day. -Every minute spent in Manches- ter was thoroughly enjoyed, 'The Library The Manchester Central Library is one of the greatest libraries in the , world and to this library come stud- ,ents from all parts of the globe seek- ing information. Nor do they go away disappointed, for in this beautiful 12,500,000 library one can find books dealing with any subject-and the lat: test word on that subject. The. Manchester Central Library dates back to 1552 but the new build-, ing about which we wish to write was -opened in 1934. It was designed by Mr. E. Vincent Harris, F.R.I.B.A. of London. Of circular design it has im- portant frontages on St, Peter's Square Peter Street, and Mount Street. The -foundation stone was laid by the late j. Ramsay; MacDonald, then Prime Minister of Great Britain, on May 6th, 1930, and-King George V officiated at -the official opening on . July 17th., 1934. In general design the exterior fol- lows the great tradition of the early English Renaissance. It is circular in -form, being girdled by a Portland Stone Wall rising to a total height of 90 feet. The first two storeys of this in which occur large windows belong= 411110 ing to the public rooms are rusticated to give a broad effect of strength. The next two storeys contain a series of smaller rooms necessitating a large -number of more closely spaced win- dows. To preserve a simple scale these have been recessed behind a col- onnade of •66 Doric columns, Re- cessed again rises above this the blank wall of the spare storage accommo- dation., The whole 'is crowned by a pitched, roof 'covered with lead, The main entrance is marked by at portico of Corinthian columns whigh face St, Peter's Square. The core of the building is the four- tier steel Book-Stack, and supported by it, is the Great Hall (the principal reading room) which receives adequate, natural light through the large lay light in the domed ceiling. ' Circling the unit, composed of the Book Stack, and the Great Nall are six floors, which provide accommoda- tion for the various services: Basement-Machinery and electrical equipment, Lecture Theatre and Cloak Room and Public Lavatories, Binding and Printing Departments, Packing' Room and Strong Room. Ground Floor-Lending Libraries, , First Floor-Reference Libraries, Periodical Room and' Exhibition Hall, Second Floor-Research Rooms, Special Collections, Lecture Rooms,: and Committee Rooms. Third Floor-Administration De- partment and Staff Rooms. Fourth Floor-Corporation Records and General BoOk Storage. Shakespeare Hall The entrance to the building is through the great portico in St. Pet- er's Square, and leads directly to the Shakespeare Hall,. the centre window of which is to the memory of Eng- land's greatest dramatist. •This win- dow was provided from funds beques- ted by Mrs. Leo Grindon and was de- signed by the late Professor R. Arming Bell, R. A. Two side windows also provided by Mrs. Grindon are by Mr. Kruger Gray, depicting the arms of Manchester and the University, and the County and Duchy of Lancaster. The ceiling of the Shakespeare Hall is richly coloured with the arms of the city, the Sees of Manchester and York and the County and Duchy of of Lan- caster. Surrounding these five large reproductions i from the more famous coats of House of Lancaster-those of Henry V, 'Margaret of Anjou, Ed- ward of Woodstock, John of Gaunt, and others. Around the walls are oth- er arms and crests of lesser interest. Book Stacks The Book Stack is of the multitier bracket type with flat concrete.decks between the four tiers. ArOund and above it are grouped the various pub- lic services in spacious rooms. There are about 3,600 stack columns support- them. proceeding. The ortnrtercial and Technical rib- raries are contained in a room 180 feet long and 40 feet wide, containing 8,000 volumes. Special 'Collection and Research Rooms which house some of the spec- ial collections. of the Reference Lib- brary will seat 30 students. The Lecture and Committee Rooms will seat 75 persons while the Lecture Theatre seats 300 persons.. 500,000 Books While the Library houses 500,000 books nearly one, and .a. half million books are in service altogether. The Library has a ' total of 25 miles of shelving and the public is serviced through sole 36 branches. It is interesting to note that in a Library as large as Manchester's the overage time needed to secure a book is two and a half minutes. Among the interesting rooms are those which may be used by writers up to six months without charge. These rooms measure six by eight feet and contain a table and book case, The client merely provides a list of the books he wishes to read and these are recently, has given a Dutch-language placed in his room by the' attendants, I London weekly some of the details of They are his as long as he .requires his activities and experiences with loy- al members of the Netherlands police force, "One evening when I was distribut- ing illegal newspapers on my bicycle," the escapee related "I was stopped by a local policeman who loudly ordered me to turn on my lights. He then whispered into my ear, "You have been betrayed. Go to the local priest who will give you a new address for hiding out." I was sent to a new spot and within th'ree days I received fresh instructions from my organization. "I have seen a local 'policeman who had been most useful to me and others arrested an innocent .20-year-old boy. In order to remain useful to the under- ground, the policeman often had to choose victims from among those who the girls' camp this week at the camp north of Goderich,'' Mr. and Mrs. Norman McDowell were London visitors on Friday.

Many underground workers, however, were caught by the Gestapo, or Dutch- Nazi police officers. Describing other aspects of under- ground life, the escapee told of the ob- stacles many experienced when they tried to go underground in a small town without attracting the attention of disloyal elements. "On the other hand, these disloyal elements are, in the minority and several have already suffered retribution for their betrayals so that they hardly dare betray us any- more.
