sqn, as saying that the child who has
learned to love reading is not only
likely to continue hist" education all
through life but is prepared to enjoy
his "leisure profitably.
"One has only to think back to
sebool days at the Collegiate when
three or four books 'on varioussub-
jects were required for- reading each
year to remember how everyone hat-

wish supplementary reading could
have a more attractive name. There
is romance in books and in this, day
the boy or girl who knows not this
romance Is an underprivileged child,"
she declared.
New Course Helps
The new ,course of study in the
schools has brought the children to
the .libraries.. The child's outlook is

committee is planning for fall salvage
drives in Tuckersmith, McKillop and
Hullett. There may be enough metal
in that heap behind the barn•to make
a tank. Those old tires• and tubes.

used for army trucks. Those old rag
bags in the attic are badly needed.
Before the war nearly all rags for
wiping were imported; now,- with so
many extra Planes and trucks, wipers
are needed in creasing numbers. Your
old newspapers and magazines are
wanted too. Besides helping Canada's •
war effort, the money obtained from
your' salvage is donated to war chari-,
ties and to boxes and gifts to our
own boys overseas.
