Library Visitor The other day a young man, Don Klaser from Detroit. turned up at the Thornhill Public Library, He was trying to find out someâ€" thing about the “Thornhill Toll Gate.“ He had failed to get any information in the Toronto Libraries. “But there wasn't a toll gate in Thornhill." he was informed. ‘ IIe disagreed politely. His great-grandfather had kept the Toll Gate. The librarian produced all the books on Thornhill and left him to his research. Fin- ally in “Vaughan Township" by G. Elmore Reaman. he found mention of the Longâ€" staff Toll Gate. And not only that. but a picture of it and his great-grandfather ‘ileiiry Richards plus a small boy. his son Henry, who was Mr. turday from 3 and Mrs. Samuel in Thorn- ‘Thornhill correspondant was Klaser‘s grandfather! He ,was delighted. Further- more. he niust have that book. So the librarian reâ€" ferred him to Mrs. Amos Baker. who was a member of the graiip that edited and published the book after Dr. -Reaman's sudden death. She invited Mr. Klaser to “come right over." She had the ori- ginal picture. So off he went. Later, being a very pleas- ichmond Hill.Oa1‘io. Wednesday, Aug._28, 1974 it all This service will continuet And that is how a in Taiwan.

I might be inter- one had something to con- ested in helping to form ‘tribute to our enjoyment and interest as they read such a group. At the time I could not see myself becoming in- volved although I was symâ€" pathetic to the idea. But I had many questions. Would enough people be interested? Would they want to continue to write â€" for writing is‘ hard. demanding work? And if both these could be answered by a “yes”. wouldn't somebody who had. taught courses in writing and research or had worked in publishing. be of much more use than I whose‘ teaching experience was ini Sunday schools and at sum-i mer camps? I But there did not seem to be any such person avail- able. So the upshot of the matter was a decision of dis- covering if possible. some people who would be suffi- ciently interested to join such a group and then hold aloud what they had put on paper. It was exciting. stimulat- ing. and very satisfying to all of us. In fact I went the length of asking some visi- tors on occasion whom I thought might be interested.
