Little Libraries Po Big Job
During the past two weeks We have noted that there
have been ammai meetings of the libraries in the smaller
entres which surround our community. In some of these
places., no doubt, the libraries have been established for so
;wig that those \'s'hu enjoy their benefits have forgotten
what it was like to be without such a service, in. others,
'where the innovation is more recent, we can well imagine
that the residents would fight to the last to retain their lib-
raries, and unquestionably rate them among the most
vital attributes o f community life,
We have lived in a community where there WaS 110
public library we are well a W are of the gap which is left in
all cultural development when no reading material is avail-
able, It is perhaps even true that the smaller the commun-
ity, the more important the library becomes, for the larger
centres are able to supply other forms of recreation and so
provide that proper balance between labor and refresh-
ment which is so essential to the intelligent in any town or
village,
There are, of course, many forms of recreation. Vor-
tunately, we seem to be approaching the age when a man
or woman may choose his or her own particular brand of
escape from the pressing„problems of everyday life, with-
out being branded as a social outcast. There was a time
when the fellow who didn't play bridge was categorized
as socially undesirable, There was another time when golf
was a "must.' Today we are more tolerant, and we right-
fully acknowledge that all these pastimes are valuable, par-
ticularly when they are left to the choice of the individual.
.110w-ever, reading is the universal and most valuable re-
creation, for it is the enjoyable way to absorb knowledge.
Any person who reads habitually is certain to gradually
improve his taste for better literature. As the years go by
the mind continually demands an ever higher standard
:of meat in which to set its teeth. The extensive reader is al-
most invariably well educated, regardless of the total of
years spent in school.
To those who are supporters of a rural public, library
we would say: Don't sacrifice your opportunity to share
in this unlimited source of knowledge and satisfaction. The
3.rice you pay for the books ,you read is nothing compared
with the benefits you derive.
What's Mine's Me Own-Or Is It?
The action of Hibbert Township farmers last week in
'attempting to stop Hydro gangs from erecting towers on
their land'. until they received a more satisfactory settle-
ment for the right-of-way strikes a chord of sympathy in
Brost breasts. \Ve have no idea whether or not the farmers
in question were justified in feeling that the payment which
lhad been offered them was unjust. Perhaps some trouble-
3naker in the crowd simply managed to stir up a nest of
trouble-but the fact remains that we, who spring from
the stock of British pioneers and United Empire I,oyalists
are prone to feel that we still have the right to say who
shall or shall not use it for his own purposes.
There seems very little possibility that the Li ibbert

Prophecy
Editor ArVingham Advance-Times:
Dear Silo'
I think it was Mark Twain who
counselled "You should never pro-
phesy unless you know, If Mark did-
n't say that, he should have. No one
had a better right too say so, No one
but a first class Humorist, like Mark
or myself should DARE commit pro-
phecy. Such as we are allowed to do
simply because we are never taken
seriously,
There are, of course many differ-
ent ways of prophesying. The various
perpetrators, however, take it from
me, are usually guilt-ridden, and al-
ways unmoral. That is to say - they
take no thought of the morrow; never
never think of it, at all, at all. Most
of their prophecies indeed have no
morrow, They -have nothing but a
catastrophic end, a violent end; not
to those who fabricate them, but to
millions of others who are infallibly
involved in the way they will pan out,
Many prophecies regarding the 'date
of the arrival of the Last Day have
