In those depression years of the 19305 a job was more important than high school, so he never went back to school. He stayed with McClelland and Stewart Ltd. until the Second World War carried him off to the Canadian Navy. His worst suffering in the war was seasickness. Born in Toronto, he attended Park- dale area schools. Back from the war he married wife Marion in 1946. Chairman Short went back with McClelland and Stewart after the war. The he joined CoppflClarkiRgblishing. Next he joined William Collins, Sons and Co. Canada Ltd. He has been with them for 27 years, travelling all over the nation selling trade books (novels etc.) to bookstores, department stores and libraries. A summer job in the publishing business started a lifetime career in book sales for Larry Short, this year‘s volunteer chairman of Markham Town library board. His selling activities don’t conflict with his serving on the Markham library board. All the system’s books are purchased through the Central Ontario Regional Library at Richmond (From Page C-l) “When the budget is short, either book purchases or staff have to be cut. So the book budget gets cut. “I don't think Canadians have been brought up to read as much. They aren't exposed to books as in some other countries. Also there are a great many other distractions now. The board always has to look ahead to new library sites where development is going on. A site is going to have to be planned along with major development of a mixture of housing and industry on the Massey farm south of Unionville next to Metro.

They have two married sons. Richard is a high school teacher and Robin is in the film industry. Larry Short joined the library board by council appointment almost two years ago and was elected chairman starting last January. Short says he’s really no committee man. Rules of order at meetings just annoy him. But his library board is divided up into committees like any other such group and is getting the job done. There's no pay involved, not even mileage. If the budget allows, he can go to national or provincial conventions. But the budget often doesn’t allow. The work is interesting, he says. He’s long been selling books to libraries and has always admired the work librarians do. He thinks libraries are vital to the community. Somebody has to do the job of sitting on the library board. So he does it. ' “They do more for the community than is generally realized,” Library Chairman Short says.
