He stated that the building is not of the type originally plan- ned, but it had been found necessary to cut back on some of the facilities due to the limited budget which was avail- able for this purpose. Work along the river during 1963 will be held up to some degree, he said, due to the in- stallation of the town's new trunk sewer which will follow the old railroad right-of-way. Further development will, how- ever, be carried out, he said, with more emphasis on the camping area. Looking ahead, Mr. Mac- Arthur said the board hopes that within a year or two the lower pond will be cleaned of silt. This would result in the formation of a lovely lake practically in the centre of the community. During the meeting the board heard Terry MacCauley, fieldman for the Maitland River Conservation Authority, as he provided information on Authority projects.

Office—Meyer Mk., Wing'Itam DIAL 357-1990 IN THE LIBRARY By DORIS G McKIBBON Several books have I read lately which gave me much pleasure but also they required concentrated thought to appre- ciate them fully. Such a one was, BEYOND OUR. SELVES By Catherine Marshall The blurb on the book jacket calls this book the account of "an extraordinary woman liv- ing her remarkable life to the fullest". That distills the whole book into one crystal drop and I cannot further im- , prove upon that assessment. Catherine Marshall, for those who have somehow miss- ed her earlier books, is the widow of the Reverend Peter Marshall, who was minister of New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, Washington D. C. , and also chaplain of the United States Senate. He died of a heart attack, at the age of forty-six in 1949. He was a Scot, but his love for and in- fluence on his adopted country was too great to estimate. Catherine Marshall's previous books have included a collec- tion of her husband's sermons and prayers "Mr. Jones, Meet the Master", several children's books; "A Man Called Peter", which is possibly the best- known because it was made in- to a very successful and moving film of the same name; and also " To Live Again", which was "the story of the victory of faith over fear and love over loneliness" . Most of these are in the library and have much to offer the interested reader. "Beyond Our Selves", how-, ever, I consider to be the best yet produced. Her childhood ambition had been to be a writer. Through youth many wete the journals she filled with het thoughts and hopes. 1 Then marriage and a subse- quent lengthy illness, with the necessity upon the recovery of health to restrict her activities for some time, caused her am- bitions to be shelved indefinit- ely. The curious thing is that when she did begin to write it was not to fulfil her dreams but as a tribute to her husband's ability to present words of life in such an ardent manner. His life had been ended abruptly but friends urged her to keep alive his spirit and influence and that book is an amazing little volume. The biography seemed to follow naturally and suddenly Catherine Marshall was a writer. "Beyond Our Selves" could be called a spiritual autobio- graphy. It offers many prac- tical suggestions on finding and following the will of God, on attaining inner peace and on living wisely day by day. Through it all is evident Mrs. Marshall's love for and know- ledge of the Bible. The book brims with vitality. This is a woman with a tremendous zest for life and one to whom life has dealt some bitter blows. We see a happy childhood, a fairly typical college life, a romantic marriage. Life with Peter Marshall was full of fun and action and her relationship with her parents remained felicitous. The account of her father's death even leaves a warm feeling of comfort. She refers to her second rnarriage and the acquiring of a new young challenging family and their integration with Peter John, the son of Peter Mar., shall. This is the kind of book to pick up and read a chapter at a time, think about and then re -read some portions, because schedule, minor department heads $400 and major depart- ment heads $600. Allowance for an extra degree will be $100 and $200 for a Master's degree, REGULAR BUSINESS In the normal business ses- sion the board heard the finan- cial statement read by the secretary, Miss E. MacPherson. The statement appears in sum- mary at the end of this report.
