Robson Library Loses Its Volunteer Librarian The Castlegar Library board heard with regret that Mrs. Fran Jones can no longer carry on as the Robson volun- teer librarian, A spokesman said that a replacement for Mrs. Jones will be hard to find, as she has been a valuable and tireless worker who has made a big contri- bution to the growth of the Robson branch. Don Jones reported that the Kootenay Library System Society is more optimistic a- bout the East Kootenay re- gions ultimate acceptance of the proposed library system. Ms. Wenman was congrat- ulated on the success of her talk to the Rotarians, The annual librarians’ din- ner to host the volunteers and thank them for their year's work will precede the annual general meeting of the Castle- gar and District Public Library Association in the Hi Arrow Arms Motor Hotel on the evening of Jan. 26. Guest apeaker will be Mayor Ed Mosby. * The board decided to hold afines amnesty week from Jan. 12-19 inan attempt to bring in some of the overdue books. o 8 8 Colorful paintings and ba- tiks by Alfred Crossley are at present on exhibition and sale in the Kinnaird branch of the Metal Tables and.

We have what it takes to sult your needs, We carry glass for every purpose! Some of us have become intereated in “Mnemonics”, that is, memory training, The word is pronounced nee-mon-ies and is from the Greek mytho- logical figure “Mnemon,” (He was a companion of Achilles and was supposed to remind him never to kill a child of Apollo, He failed to do so and Achilles killed him.) You can have a great deal of fun with mnemonics and really amaze people with your memory. The whole secret is word association and the more inventive you are and “far out", the better. Mr. Roulstone has already demonstratead it twice with his classes and some of the stu- denta have tried it to offect. We'll tell you more about it later and give you a few examples,* . . . We had to say goodbye to one of our teachers—Mr, Pat Morris—just before the Christ- mas holidays, He was a very nice person—tall, blond, hand- some, and courteous, He could tell fascinating stories about his boyhood on the northern tip of Vancouver Island; and at the time of the big flood at Port Alice, he drew a quick sketch of the area to show us some of the problems and possible solutions, We wish him every success in his new work at the coast, In his place we welcome Mr. Ken Orr, who hails from the same area as the Beatles, Letter to the Editor Concert Leaves Dear Sir: I would like to express my feelings on the Christmas con- cert that was held in Stanley Humphries High School on Dec. 15, When I hear of Christmas concerts, I get a real joyous feeling. After all, it comes only once @ year, so we do expect our concerts to be more on the season's theme, We saw the lovely Christ- mas tree with a pretty star on top. Also, ‘beautiful posters were displayed on the walls with ‘Baby Jesus in the manger’ and others with Christmas expressions. The concert started with the junior band. It was out- standing and the numbers they chose with Christmas themes were very nice, both tor young and old. The senior band also put on a very special per- formance. T feel the play, “The Devil and Miss Appleby” was some- thing to think about for all of us. At the same time, the actors were professionals, as far as I was concerned. The Values of. Dear Sir: A glance out of the window these days, particularly for those who are too elderly or too ill to engage in outside activi- ties, leaves the viewer with a pretty depressing and bleak impression. He has travelled over 8 good part of the world and has taught in Europe and most recently in Whitehorse. He is married with two little daughters just at begin- ning school age. He enjoys ‘sports, and we hope he will like the West Kootenay and all that it has to offer in the way of recreation, Welcome aboard, alrl * 8 8 Before Christm: . Roulstone conducted a short story contest for his English atudents. Marie Koochin was the winner and, will probably present her story at the Music Festival in Nelson thls spring, Last year, Lori Harshenin won the contest in Trail for “best original story” and Danny Barnes for “best original poem.” We hope both of these writers try again. ee 8 Our “Tibits” champions” have been declared, Firat place for the grade 9 “co-ed team” went to Jaguars, The Lipizzan House took the grade 8 girls’ championship and the T-Birds cinched the crown for the grade 8 boys, se 6 One of our girls thinks this would be a good ad for a beauty shop: “We curl up and dye for you." By the way, this same girl says she doesn't know Teresa Green... .Don't you, either?... Well, they are! Gotcha, Lasting Mark ‘The comedy play “If Men Played Cards As Women Do" was perfect, as we all expect a little humor, Also, the two choirs were exceptionally good, singing Christmas carols, even though they were squeezed in the corner which I thought was inappropriate. After all, both choirs put in a lot of time and effort practicing, and some of the audience could only see just some of their heads. The surprise item, was” something that did not fit in with the evening event. The band was so loud with amplifi- ers and loud speakers, and the” fireworks polluted the gymna- sium with heavy smoke. Most of the audience left before the concert was over, In case of emergency, it would have been impossible to hear the fire alarm. This would have put all of us ina dangerous position. 1 am sure that the “sur- prise item” will be different at the next Christmas Concert. With all the best wishes in the New Year, E. Hadikin a Bird Feeder : Noietheless, on any given day, my bird feeder is visited by several hundred juncoes, evening grosbeaks Steilers Jays, sparrows, finches and, for the first time, a Clark's Nut- eracker, They are an endless source of interest and delight __ ‘wiici-T-am_sure is repeated many times throughout this area.
