"We urge that the localmu- nicipalities talk to their library boards about this subject so that when the county library board does inake a recommendation, everyone will all the in- formation required," the report pointed out. Duff Thompson, reeve of Clinton, chairman ot the com- mittee, announced that the county hoard would meet on September 12 to consider the next step. Comment from ei- ther the local lihraiy hoards or the local councils prior to that date would he appreciated. Local library hoards should discuss the situation with their councils. If everyone is satis- fied with the change, a resolu- tion would be presented to the local council by tne library board and this opinion would be in turn presented at county council by the reeve or deputy reeve. It is imperative that some decision is arrived at this year in order that the present county committee will be in a position to prepare for the coming year. "One of the most important factors to bear in mind is the proposed financial incentive to make this change, and at the same time the possibility that eventually county co-operatives will not be supported financially by the Province, Mr. Thomp- son said. Thomas Leiper, Hullett, asked if the libraries would have to remain open so many hours per day. The chairman thought there would be very lit- tle change in operations. Calvin Krauter, Brussels, in- quired about the levy. The clerk-treasurer replied that the levy would be at the county level, not at the local level. Alvin D. Smith, Turnberry, related what action had been taken in his municipality, The library board had been asked to submit a report to council. James Hayter, reeve of Stephen, wondered if quail fica- tions for librarians would change, lie could see a tune when all the small libraries would be "pushed out". Mr. Berry said certain qualifications would be required at the coun- ty level but not at the local level . Ernest Talbot, reeve of Stan- ley, said the intention was to expand the services of the small libraries. James liayter said there would be many duplica- tions with bigger libraries being placed in schools. Reginald R. Jewell, reeve of Goderich, stated that his town possessed a good library and he wondered if it would be compulsory for Goderich to en- ter the county system. Mr. Berry said the municipality didn't need to join but the sys- tem of grants was involved. Several members from rural municipalities expressed fears that a county library system sounded the death knell of many of them. Clarence E. Boyle, reeve of Exeter, declared that these members were "missing the point". The county library sys- tem would make more books available and better library ser- vice for everyone. The report was formally re- ceived on a show of hands. WHITECHURCH Mr. and Mrs. Angus Mac- Donald, Dale and Donnie of St. Helens were Sunday evening visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Carl McClenaghan.

August 14, 1966 Haifa, Israel, Dan Carmel Hotel. The Shalohin docked this morning about 6.30. Had break- fast shortly after seven. Lined up to get our shore pass. Show passport, then wait until all the luggage is put ashore; about two hours. Finally started to dis- embark. 1 was carrying a par- cel for Rosa Levi, my table companion. Lost her in the crowd, but finally caught up with her and handed over the parcel. Quite a scramble to find my luggage. Supposed to be sorted according to alphabet, After some searching, found it. The C. had been rubbed off, Went by taxi to the hotel. Fare 10 pounds. One dollar American equals three pounds Israel. Hadn't anything smal- ler than $5.00, so forfeited the change. Had used up small bills tipping steward and waiters. This is a place for millionaires. Far more accommodation than I need, so am checking out in the morning. Going to a cheap- er place - Hotel Lev Hacarmel $7.50. Have arranged to go on a tour of Galilee in the morning. Leave at 9 a.m. Haifa is a beautiful city, especially now with the lights all on and the ships in the harbour lit up. The buildings are new and made of white marble. Trees have been left in amongst buildings in- stead of pushing them out. The streets are hilly and winding, similar to San Francisco. I am on a hill looking down on the city and the bay beyond. Changed a $50.00 traveller's cheque into Israeli pounds. Re- ceived 149 pounds plus 6.5. Have a taxi ordered for 8 a.m. to take me to the other hotel. The tour will pick me up there. I do not know whether I will sleep or not. If I do not, it will be the most expensive non- sleep I have ever had. Had a cup of coffee earlier at one of those outdoor cafes. Coffee is served black, no milk. The place was crowded. Many people just come to sit. They have a faraway look in their eyes, There are seats in the. shade all along the street. Very nice. Downtown was crowded too. Cars and buses roaring around. Shops arc small. I did not go in to see if they were busy, I was too busy myself try- ing to find the Travel Bureau. Many people did not under- stand my language and from those that did understand, Ire- ceived different directions. All in a day's work. o--u--o August 15, 1966 Haifa, Israel. Well, I did sleep after all. Awakened at 5 a o m. My win- dow faces east. Saw the pre- dawn flush over the eastern sky. Very beautiful. Enjoyed a hot bath, using a towel the size of A tablecloth. All packed and now for breakfast. The sun is up and quite bright. Had a bit of an argument aver leaving as management claimed I was booked for four days. Finally, everything cleared up. Cost 5'1.75 pounds for residence; 13,65 for dinner and service (taking bag to room) and 1,05 pounds for breakfast; tota173.05 at three pounds TO the dollar -- $24.35, less experience gain- ed. Another lesson under the belt. Taxi came at S a.m. and I left for the Lev liacannel.Rates supposed to be room and break- fast 21 pounds; meal 7 pounds. We will see., '7 pounds $2.33. liad soup, fish with potatoes and fruit dessert. No coffee. Will not be staying long in Is- rael. Another day here, then Tel Aviv, Took a walk around this eve- ning. All apartments have good appearance. Found a nice cafe. Had coffee, z pound -- 16 cents Was good with milk. Left at 8.30 a.m. for tour of Lower Galilee. Bus called for me and brought m back. No extra charge as tour was prebooked. Drove through Haifa, passed the Oil Storage. The oil is piped from Persia and Saudi Arabia, Drove over a small river, just a creek, and on through some bleak country. In fact, most of country is bleak, mountains covered with rocks. Just small areas in val- leys can be farmed. Some very good, some fair, and the rest terrible; all rocks and sand. We drove past the Balfour a and Roosevelt forest. Puny by our standards, but a start. The trees are planted among the rocks. Israel has little rainfall, and not much water. Much of what is grown is watered by sprinklers. They hope, with money borrowed from France and U.S.A. to develop a de- salting complex to take water from the sea. We visited the Church of Annunciation. A new one is being erected by the old one, which v.as built over the place where lie Virgin Mary's home was when the Angel an- nounced to her she would be the mother of the child Jesus. Be - side the new church is the old one built by Crusaders. We did not go into it as the Christian Arabs were celebrating the Vir- gin's birthday and the square outside was full of people set- ting off firecrackers. When we left, about fifty young men were singing and dancing around in a circle. We had a stroll through the Arab section, Street just wide enough for a car. Had to crowd over to let the cars and trucks pass; their horns tooting inces- santly. This section is shabby. People and merchandise have that appearance. They still use donkeys for transportation of goods, Went to Canaan, a small. Arab village with two churches. One erected at the home of the disciple Barthol, omew. We also were in Caes- area and Tiberius. The former Page: 8 Wingham Advance ,TiMes, Thursday, Sept, S. 19tki Library Comm.

H. Currie is Arab; the latter is divided, the old Arab and the new Jew- ish. We drove around part of the Sea of Galilee. Part of it is held by Jordan and Syria. Couldn't go boating as the Syr- ians and Jews had engaged in a shooting match that morning. The Jews shot down an Assyr- ian plane, and they were being fished out of the water. I wash- ed my hands in the Jordan Riv- er. Water not very clean. We visited a Kibbutz, the first one formed. Living quar- ters and mess hall looked nice, but the animals, cattle, sheep and little black goats poor qual- ity. There are about 240,000 Arabs still in Israel. They do not look very prosperous. Some of them live in crude shelters. We visited a ruined temple and fortress. The guide spoke in French to a group with us who did not understand English. Un- fortunately, I was in with the wrong group. Retired about 10 p.m. slept until 5.30 a.m.Had breakfast. Food is different. Curds and cheese, vegetables and black coffee. -Miss Myrtle Johnston of Parkwood Hospital staff, Lon- don, spent the week-end at her home on Shuter Street. In contemporary suites by Kroehler.
