The Mission Band of the United
Church met on Tuesday afternoon,
April 7th, tfiere were 22 members pre-
sent. There was an impromptu pro-
gram those taking part were: Marie
Johnston and Susan Sellers, who gave
a piano •duet, also a piano duet by
Susan Yeo and Elizabeth McKinney;
song by Julia Thornton and readings
by Shirley Johnston and Ann Peacock.
Three games were played directed
by Marie Johnston, Loretta Fischer
White, The shelves around the walls
are arranged in such e, way as to pro-
vide the maximum of book space and
have a capacity greater than the pre-
sent stock of books to allow room for
vapansion, Special shelves have been
built for books in the children's sec-
tion, and the top shelves on the west-
ern wali,have drop boards which can
be used as display boards. A large
notice board has been placed just ins
side the door which will doubtless be
adorned with colorful hook jackets
when the librarian, Mrs, Harem-at,
northern wall will be used for special
displays of books and other objects.
One of the most interesting features
of the new library is the librarian's
desk, specially constructed at the time
of remodelling. This is built in a
horseshoe shape with an inside space
large enough to accomodate the libra-
rian and the new book truck as well.
The desk is painted a deep green with
a black top and contains a large va-
riety of shelves, drawers, cupboards
and pigeon holes for every conceiv-
able purpose. The new book truck,
which was also built by the contrac-
tors, is painted in matching colors. A
space on the west side of the room
has been partitioned off and will form
a private office for the librarian.
Messrs. Bennett and White had pre-
viously remodelled the library in
Palmerston and their experience in
that town has been invaluable in the
renovating of the Wingham library.
A modern type of fluorescent light-
ing has been installed by Burke Elec-
tric with two special spotlights locat-
ed above the librarian's desk.
Decorating was done by the Wall-
paper Shop. The walls are a light
green shade with two tone shelves of
soft grey and terra cotta. A harmoniz-
ing linoleum tile floor of light mottled
grey has been installed. Drapery, by
Warren House, is of a rough tea ma-
terial of a conventional type pattern
by Mrs. Gordon Greig and an accord-
ion piano number by Mrs. Eton Robert-
son. Mrs. 0. 13. Moffatt was accomp-
anist.
