THURSDAY, DEC. 20th, 1950 Ilttttr Unum Of 1!ilrtjtrijrm O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets Shineth The everlasting Light: The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee to -night. For Christ is born of Mary; And, gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love t) morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the Ding, And peace to. men ,on earth. Ilow silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts Tire blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, - Where meek souls will receive Him, still • The dear -Christ enters in. . `?aha alt:'. €sir{arata1Sv gaMta-t t y2 a aMteaaite aMElt a ua MCWIIMR.1` u y .It�a~'E al DIEFENBAKER CHOSEN P.C. LEADER As expected, the Conservative convention at Ottawa last week chose as the party leader John Diefenbaker, member of the House of Commons for Prince Atb°ert, Saskatchewan. Two other candidates, both members of the House of Commons, were Davie Fulton, of Kamloops, B.C., and Donald Fleming,.of Tor- onto. IVIoi•e ballots were marked for Mr. 33tieeilia.e.laal-than_ for _t-im two other. _candidates idates. combined, therefore only the one ballot was 'necessary. n The new Opposition leader is 61 years of .A. ,'h&s been in Parliament since" 13{l. ere l5ti'ke in toderich in 1963 in support of Mr. Cardiff. "The convention'seaa committee on policy presented a voluminous document -20 pages of typescript—dealing with a great variety of subjects. Prominent supporters of the party had called for a simple declaration of what the Party stands for—as The 'Globe and Mail put it, "a strong, simple statement of Con- servative principles and purpose; the bedrock on which the party stands; the objective on which its sights are trained." Instead (quilt- ing The Globe and Mail again) the policy stateme0,t a"eilated "the little and middle-sized ..thirtgg -the-tarty . t; l 1 lvr" aid »praetieeliy ignored the big Ones—the ones most people in i'`a`nac a are vi�ait>tig tb le di ont.Y' . — H.oweve t a. 4 ;e,r av 7: ' h Ase the issues on.- , eau ..oT1s Hila an the coming election campaign, and the proceedings of the Parliamentary session which will precede the campaign may bring out new issues that will overshadow anything that was before'" the convention. IMPORTANCE OF GOOD►' BOOKS The importance of reading good books e nnot be stressed too strongly. .Books pro- vide the best part of our education. They add richness to life. They provide much of our entertainment. Think of the impact made by just one book, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," on the slavery issue. Today as never before books are essential to us; for the pre-school child the exquisite_ picture books are a joy and a delight; for school -children books provide informaton and,. recreation, and they do the same for adults. Books .can help us all do our job better, widen. our horizons, provide us with the knowledge we need to make up our minds on vital ques- tions to be effective citizens. Tliey help us whether we are housewives, farmers, clergy- men, mechanics, writers lhaty-ers, artists, doc- tors, teachers, businessmen. We need books in our homes. Let us buy all the books we can. But most of us ,pannot afford to buy all the books we need. So we depend on libraries: The library. is the heart of the university. The library should be the centre of the school. Public libraries are the intelligence centres of our communities. Until the twentieth century only large cities could afford to pay from texas for public libraries with informed librarians and large, up-to-date book collections. For the most part, people who • lived in the country did without libraries. The last fifty years have seen a great expansion of country and regional librar- ies. • Vrom a central headquarters, often in a -city, books are sent out to towns, villages and —hamlets in the district. Even small communit- ies receive a wide variety of books., These books move about the region so that libraries are not 'read out." Any -book in the region may be borrowed through requesting it from a branch library. Large uni, libraries, financed by a combination of municipal and provincial taxes, require co-operation between a number of urban and rural councils. This can be gained when we become really alert to the need for books; books of quality and in numbers; and for librarians to bring together readers and books in. a dynamic relationship.
