IN THE LIBRARY By DORIS G MvKIBBON Spring is here -or so it would appear. Along with the season come days, afternoons or eve- nings of house-cleaning, fish- ing, golf, gardening or that final examination push, de- pending upon one's station in life. Some people, regardless of such activities, still read, For those, two books, frothy as plum blossoms, serious as a robin tugging at a worm. They are: UNDER THE SKIN By Dorothea Bennett This is a most exciting and un- usual thriller. It is exciting be- cause the tension begins in the first sentence — "The killers came down the mountain at tremendous speed." It is main- tained until the second last page (that final page is needed to tie off a loose thread or two). The peculiarity of this mystery story is that the reader knows from the beginning who is to be killed and by whom, and shortly thereafter how, The actual accomplishment of the deed, the reason behind it, and the person wishing the crime committed all have to be dis- covered. The only real sur- prises are the identity of the agent who hired the killers and their ultimate fate. The frothiness in this story is the playtime atmosphere in which these horrifying events are accomplished -an exclusive, fairly obscure Swiss ski resort. It is the contrast here which chills the marrow. The serious side of the story concerns the people and their motivating passions -avarice, ruthlessness, unscrupulousness, lust, mater- nal love, fear, rebellion and Hi -C Votes $20 For Missions BELGRAVE--The regular meeting of the Iii -C Group of Knox United Church met in the basement of the church on Sun- day evening. The meeting opened with a sing -song led by Marilyn Camp - hell and accompanied by Lorne Campbell. Janet Beecroft read the minutes of the last meeting and Murray Coultes gave the treasurer's report. Next meet- ing, in charge of Helen Ander- son, will be held on June 6. It was decided to give $20. to missions, Marie Coultes was named to represent the group at the general meeting of the United Church Women. Marilyn Campbell was in charge of the meeting and divided the inembers into three groups. Each was given a Scripture passage in which they were to find, insight, personal application and problems. The groups then got together for dis- cussion on their findings. Call to worship was read by Marilyn Campbell, followed by the hymn,"In Christ there Is no East or West" and Scripture was read by Wendy Fear. Marilyn Gampbell read the meditation and offering was received by Janet Beecroft and Florence Rinn. Marilyn led in prayer and the meeting closed with games and the singing of Taps. finally the genuine regard developed within the Scotland Yard observer for the wife of the victim. I, personally, became glued to the book at the first page and not unstuck until the last. That is quite a recom- mendation because I've been reading mystery stories for a quarter of a century: The second book of this genre? A PATH TO THE WATER By Sarah Litsey Its froth lies in its setting also - a suburbia where dwell people with too much money, too much leisure and not enough purpose or responsibility. The concomitant selfishness of Gor- don Pace's parents sowed the seeds of his eventual destruc- tion, The contrast here was between the sunny, carefree living and a hate -filled child, The seriousness of this novel lies within the personality of the second main character, Gulnare Witherspoon (an incre- dible name isn't it?). Gul, as Gordon called her, was his governess but eventually be- came principal of a private primary school for the children of Pace's neighbours, unto the second generation too. To Gordon, Gul became the mo- ther, his natural one was not. To Gul, Gordon became her life. This dark, beautiful child swept by tempestuous emotions became linked to her by an indestructible bond, bro- ken only by his death. Her overwhelming love for this lonely child, wild adolescent, tortured man, only cultivated the ruinous plant already grow- ing. He called constantly on her for help and she rarely com- pletely denied him; a token demurring occasionally. Love and hope overrode her innate wisdom. Never with Gordon could she remain completely detached. There are several minor memorable characters in the sub -plots that form the warp for the woof woven by Gul's bright serenity and faith and Gordon's dark dissolution. The heart will be stirred, the mind intrigued and the spirit given pause in the readers who peruse the pages of this book. Raise $3,000 In Canvass BELGRAVE--A meeting of he finance committee for Bel - :rave's new arena was held in the Community Centre on Sat- urday evening.

The building committee re- ported that work will commenc immediately on the new arena, which will be 70' x 170' and no lean to. Good Turn: one that gets the blankets back on your side of the bed.

Federation Hears Welfare Officer Speak BELGRAVE--Mr. and Mrs, Mel Mathers were hosts for the regular monthly meeting of the directors of Morris Federation of Agriculture. Vice-president Ted Fear was in charge of the meeting. Minutes were read by Rich- ard Procter. A letter was read from the Morris Council, stat- ing that due to the excessive cost for chloride on township roads the township council could not take action at this time.

Mrs. Mathers introduced the guest speaker, James Deneau, welfare officer from Wingham, who explained that the area office covers the counties of Huron, Bruce and Perth, with an age group from 6-70 years. He also explained the different programs handled by the Welfare Department, with most programs being shared by provincial and federal governments. Mr. Deneau was thanked by Mrs. Ted Fear and lunch was served by the hostess. The next meeting will be held on June 20 at the Morris Federa- tion Park. An evening of TV convinces us that while the Russians may be ahead on missiles and rock- ets, we've got 'em licked on deodorants.
