IN MEMORIAM In the Richmond Hill Library re- ;port which appeared in last Week’s Liberal, mention was made of the lack of shelf accommodation for the new books. To overcome this may I sugâ€" gest that the books might be put into more general circulation; The High School Library is far‘f'rom ade- quate to supply supplementary readâ€" ing for the pupils. If the Public Library could be open one afternoon a week after school hours ,it would be a blessing to many .a student who can’t go to the Library~in the eve- nings. If the regular, Librarian couldn‘t undertake the extra work surely there would be volunteers who would be glad to attend‘to it. If Tuesday afternoon could be agreed upon the extra heating would not amount to very much. ’Pupils from the Rural District would be very thank ful for this opportunity (of using the Library even at a slight extra charge.

Among their disappointments they listed “Our beautiful basket of flowers was refused entry to the King Show.” The executive of the King Township Horticultural Society wish to take this opportunity of explaining to the readers of your paper, as the Richmond Hill Society has not done so, why this basket was refused entry for the “W. P. Mulock Cup, for the best basket of cut flowers shown by any Horticultural Society of the rid- ing of North York, quality and ar- rangement to count.” 9. “All exhibits should be correct- ly named and properly labelled, and must be in a position for judging by 12 o’clock noon on day of show. This rule will be strictly enforced. Ex- hibitors will kindly attach entry tags to exhibits in such a position that the name may be easily written on by the Secretary.” LIBRARY OPEN ONE AFTERNOON WOULD BE APPRECIATED Editor, The Liberal, Sir:â€" The Richmond Hill Society did not in 1932 or 1933 observe this rule, the Secretary did not receive any com- munication or notice, and thus no space was reserved for their exhibit in 1932, causing some confusion at the closing hour.
