COMBIKES NUMBW 3/"; l9, 'RAC FDR: luleréau Jarm A discussion and question per- iod followed: “Do you have any books on model plane making and stock car racing?" “I’m go- ing to be a dentist, any books on that?" And David wants to be- come a detective! We do have a‘ fairly extensive pamphlet file in the library with literature on al- most every career.but we seem to have overlooked dentistry and the work of the detective, so that following day a letter was dis- patched to the Ontario College of Education for these career pamphlets, and we hope that very soon these potential dentists and detectives will be able to gain all the information they re- quire on their proposed profess- ions. A number of children in these classes were not yet enroll- edpin the library and we were most happy to see that after each visit was over a number of them were anxious to join in our mem- bership and borrow some of the books that had been reviewed earlier. We are continuously trying to better our library ser- vice in the Hill and are constant- ly adding to our book collection for all tastes, however there are sometimes reaucsts made for tit- les that we do not have readily available. In such cases we do try to obtain it for our reader or borrow the copy from another li- brary on our Inter-Library loan. a service that has been of great help to man)” of our patrons dur- ing the past few months. However we do hope that our young readers will always feel free to enlist the aid of any member of the staff of the Rich- mond Hill Public Library in the knowledge that they are most anxious to assist them in any way they possibly can. And of course for the small fry there is always “Story Hour”. every Sat- urday at 10:30 am. We also hope that our younger readers will feel free to come to the library. not only for recrea- tional reading, but also whenever they seek information for a school project or a hobby in the home. One of the more popular and re- cent hobby books is ~“How to make earthworms pay”, by Tom Parsons. The thought of such a hobby makes this writer squirm with horror and yet seems to de- light the hearts of so many of the young boys in our juvenile department! For the past few months the library has been gathering toâ€" gether a collection of records for use in puppet shows and,story hours, and on Tuesday and Fri- day of this week of visits the children had a special treat. when, through the kindness of Yerex Electric who loaned us a record player. we were able to play two of the latest additions to our record library, the de- lightfully funny stories, “Tall Tales from Pecos Bill”. and Paul Bunyan, told by Jack Lester. Everyone loves a story -and these youngsters we” certainly no exception if one were to judge by their expressions as they listened to the librarian re- lating the story of “Alenouska and her brother”, from Old Pet- er’s Russian tales, by Arthur Ransome. and that sad, sad story, “The Happy Prince”. by Oscar Wilde. rather cramped for such visits we weee allowed to use the meeting room above the library where our young readers were introduced to the Chief Librarian, who gave a book review of some of the newer and more interesting books both fiction and non-fiction, that are being added constantly to our shelves. The boys of course were most interested in the lat- est science fact and fiction edi- tions, adventure stories, tales of the wonderful exploits of the Mounted Police, and naturally, sports stories of all kinds. The fair sex showed a decided trend toward animal stories, school girl mysteries and biographies of fa- mous women, such as.Nurse Ed- ith Cavell. John and Catharine had 13 children. They cleared the land and built the first log house and barn â€" this same log barn which is still in use and in good repair today. It is a wooden barn. sitting on corner stones and that story goes that there were not, enough corner stone men in Vau- ghan to “set” the corner stones and dovetail them at the corners so that John Pfiterbaugh had to go to Markham for help from er the crown deed to John Puter- baugh when the sale was final- ized and the deed is still in the Puterbaugh po_sse_ssiqn today. alterations â€"â€" owned by the same family name (from 1813-1958) in this district.
