In his address, with reference to
community life, Mr. • Mowat stated
that the library was the key point

didly the County Council has support-
ed this organization in its growth
and also the Department of Education

both financially and otherwise, In
1942 the County Council gave a grant
of $200; in 1948-5300; in 1944-
$600; and in 1945-.$1,000.: These
grants are duplicated by the Depart-
