Donovan, Chief Librarian of the Fort William Library once said, “This group of ladies and gentlemen does not go on tour like the Harlem Globetrotters, does not camâ€" paign for office, and seldom, if ever. appears in public as a group. and so with the exception of the annual announceâ€" ment in the press of new appointments, the striking of committees and election to the various executive functions on the Board, there is little or no overt publicity which could impress the people of the community that the Board was anything but an assembly of blank faces, or a thing rather than a group of people with ,a responsibility.” 1.....- 1.....- :. m....__LA _.._l L-..

The amendment will not apply to shopping centres. Other amendment approved by council ask that areas in Glen- brae, Crosby Avenue and Bedford Park Avenue now zoned as com- mercial be changed to residential. In all cases council action was based on substantial petitions from people in the areas con- cerned. It is felt that with the prevail- ing high cost‘of land in the com- mercial areas development was being retarded by the existing restriction which prohibited liv- ing quarters' over stores. Each apartment will be required to have a minimum of 570 square feet. The amendment approved by council will not be effective until; approved by the Ontario Munici- pal Board. Coundl Amends Zoning Council approved an applicat- ion of Sam Sabero for a ten lot sub-division at Maple Avenue and Markham Road.

Naturally most of the running of the library is delegated to the librarian‘ who in turn delegates responsibilities to other staff members, but the final authority for any activity in the library, ohanges. innovations. etc. within the framework of the laws of the province rests with this group of citizens. They must attend regular meetings and to avoid the ac- cumulation of unfinished busi- ness and such committee or spec- ial‘meetings as emergencies and the exigencies of the business demand. The job is performed entirely without remuneration and is in the truest sense of the word. a public service in the time spent, and experience and guid- ance given. .125 SALE f':".:"?;"'.::‘:"; DALLEY'S VARIETY STORE ' 42 - 44 Yonge SI.
