Supporters of the series books claim child- ren enjoy them, and from personal experience read- lng them does not prevent reading good books. Mr. Israel pointed out that in Richmond Hill, both in the schools and in the public library children may choose from a large selecâ€" tion of good literature. These children's series books were severely criti- cized last week by Mrs. Margaret Beckman. libra- rian and member of the Waterloo Public Library Board. who called them "garbage" and maintained that they should be banned from school libraries. Children‘s book series such as the Hardy Boys, the Bobbsey Twins and Nancy Drew are not included in the selection of children‘s books available at Rich- mond Hill Public Library, Chief Librarian Fred C. Israel, informed “The Lib- eral." “We agree with the crit- lcs of such books that they are ‘trash'.” said Mr. Israel. “and do not feel that we should spend public monies on them, particularly when there are such numbers of worthwhile hooks availa- ble."

Pol- ice Inspector Leonard Elgie who was given one copy of the book seized from a downtown Lon- don store said London police weren’t necessarily planning wholesale seizure of the novel. At “Operation Reliance", the staff turn-over (unlike any other firm) is welcomed because it means a person can go out and successfully hold his own in an ordinary job. “Last year, we had 60% turnover," Mr. Hampton said.

The panel also found it could be termed “historic. artistic and significant" as far as the period of English history (1747 or 1748) in which it was writ- ten was concerned. Panel chairman David Coon, a Stouffville lawyer, said that if the novel were the subject of a court case. it may very well be ruled obscene. “The trouble is some people have taken advant- age of the publicity about the. book from Richmond Hill and have flooded the Metro market with thous- ands of cheap paperbacks," he is quoted as saying.

SAUSAGE & WIENERS Result: C o n t i n u e d opposition from Councillor Charles Hoover and Deputy-reeve Stewart Rumble who warn- ed council it was “on dan- gerous ground in passing these two bylaws." Councillor Hoover again pointed to advice from the township's solicitor stating the old bylaw should not be changed if the new one "gives a particular privil- ege to one party and not the general public. This is the case here." he contend- ed.
