We were astounded and still can not get oVer the statement ereported in The NEWS -RECORD at the Tovvn nomination meeting that the Lib- rary Board would be responsible for paying the repair bill of the Library building which is over $4,000 . . * * HAVING been a Board mem- ber of a Carnegie Library for ten years in another town, we know only too well the skimpy financ- ing necessary just to pay salar- ies, light, heat and to bey a min- - imurn of new books, periodicals, and replacements of worn out books and other minor supplies . . . The Library Board finances •all this on a 50 cent per capital grant of approximtely $400 from the Ontario Government, and about enough from the County to ceder membership in • the County Library Association * WHERE is the money going to, come from to pay this debt? It is humanly impossible for the Board to pay off this sum, plus interest, even over a period of years without seriously curtail- ing the service it gives to the community . . . Books are the life blood of a library . . , But the fund for books is the only money that does not go toward a fixed charge against keeping thebuilding open . . . Is it go- ing to happen here that there will -not be money enough to buy replacements and the new books which are "musts" for any library? . .

That it is appreciated is shown by- the hundreds of men, women and children who use its facilities every day it is open- ed . . . In an age when an en- lightened, public" is more needed than ever, are these facilities go- ing to be curtailed? . * a t WE also know considerable about the contracts that the Carnegie Foundation made with the towns where libraries were built . . . These state specifically that the town is responsible for major repairs on the building ... The new Council would do well, to look into this financial situa- tion carefully and give the towns- people a true picture of what the financial position is in regards to the Library which means so much to so many • • • 4, WING COMMANDER and Mrs, A. C. Hull were guests of honour at a farewell party at the RCAF Officers' Mess Wednesday after- noon last, with the Officers' Wives Auxiliary as hostesses for the occasion . . . A presentation of a mixmaster was made to Mrs. Hull by Mrs. Harold Harris, president of the Auxiliary, while Flt. Lt. Norman Greig, president of the Officers' Mess, spoke in behalf of the officers of the Station. . . Both W/C and Mrs. Hull replied fittingly . Among thaise who attended were W/C and Mrs. R. F. Miller, the former the new Commanding Officer of Clinton RCAF Station . . a a 4, W/C and Mrs. Hull and family left by motor Friday for their new home at Manotick, situated on the Prescott highway, 13 miles south of Ottawa . . . W/C Hull will be attached to Planning Div- isien at Air Force Headquarters ... A DREAM come true—and a beautiful dream at that—is the newly -built kitchen of the Parish Hall of St. Paul's Anglican Church . . . The "Scan the Kit- chen" tea, sponsored by ,the Ladies' Guild, Saturday afternoon, was a decided success . . . And the many ladies', yes—and gentle- men, did a lot more than just "scan the kitchen" . . . They took in every detail of the gleaming white kitchen with its mottled pale green arborite top- ped working spaces and the cherry red and black inlaid lin- oleum floor WHAT impressed everyone was the number of cupboards and the fact that there was a cup- board for everything --cupboards for trays, brooms and the meat cutter . . Sliding bread boards and sliding steps to reach easily the higher cupboards . . . * * AN innovation which should be very useful is the large in- sulated warming cupboard . In this, prepared plates can be placed on the open steel shelves and heat from an electric plate OBIT UA ALFRED STAFFORD There passed away at Clinton Public Hospital after a lingering illness, Alfred Stafford, on Thurs- day morning, December 22, He was a life long, resident of Mc- Killop Township, Surviving are his wife, form- erly Miss Lizzie Williaresor Brampton, who is left to mom)! his loss: also five sisters: Mrs. Arthur Hoy, Goderich; Mrs. Rob- ert Y.

Scott, which took place in the Women's Col- lege Hospital, Toronto, on Mon- day morning, January 9, follow- ing a six weeks' illness. The young matron who was a granddaughter of the late James A. Gairdner, a prominent pion- eer citizen of the village, was a daughter of the Rectory, having been born in Lorain, Ohio, where her father, the Reverend R. H. Fortesque Gairduer, was an Epis- copalian minister. She spent nine of her early years at Wash- ington, Pa.. where her father was Reefor of Trinity Churai. Al- though all her summers had been spent with her parents at the old family residence in the village, Elizabeth Tudor Gairdner came to make her home here at -the age of eleven when her father retired. She received her educa- tion at The Seminary, Washing- ton, Pa.; by private tuition under Miss Anna W. Woods, Bayfield: Central Collegiate Institute, Lon- don; St. Hilda's College, Univer- sity of Toronto; and took a post- graduate course in Journalism at Columbia University, New York, While a student here, she won the Vogue Magazine's Prix de Paris and spent six months on the staff in New York. Known as Liz Gairdner in the field of writing, she had been on the Staff of Mayfair Magazine, Toron- to, and was a feature writer on the staff of The Standard, Mont- real, prior to her marriage to James R. Scott in July 1944. A free-lance writer since her marriage, her clever articles at- tracted, attention in both Canad- ian and American magazines, and a promising literary career has been cut short by Mrs. Scott's untimely death at the age of 29 years. She was also possessed of considerable histronic and artis- tic ability. Following her marriage, she spent a year in Saskatoon where her husband was a teacher of English on the staff of the Uni- versity of Saskatchewan. Since then she had made her home in Toronto and Bayfield where she will be greatly missed by a host of friends. Mrs. Scott is survived by her mother. Mrs. R. H. F.
