were highly commended by the Board of School
Trustees for their careful and conscientious execution of their duties and the concern they show for
their passengers. Most of the drivers have been on
the job for over 10 years and are constantly aware
of the hazards connected with operation of a school
bus. The board is endeavouring to work with the
Dept. of Highways to get all routes in a safe condition for the buses . . . and the old days of chewing tobacco in the ink wells was brought to mind
during a discussion of smoking in classrooms at
night school. To keep danger of fire at a minimum,
smoking will be permitted only in corridors.

SALTSPRING ISLAND PUBLIC
LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
A committee representing
the various women's organizations of Saltspring Island
organized a public library ,
and on November 24th, 1959
it was opened with 1300 books
and seven dollars in the bank.
The following February, the
(Library was granted a charter
fromthe Public Library Commission of B.C., and since
that date has received a crant
of $ 300. a year. It also received a gift of $1,103.29
fromthe Centennial Committee; apart from these gifts no
support has been
received
from any organized group or
from the business firms of the
Island.
The Library now has over
5000books,and has circulated over 30,000 books.Valuable gifts of books from England, Ontario, Manitoba,
Alberta and many parts of
B.C. show the interest taken
in this Library.
After many months of trying to find a suitable building
for the rapidly growing library, finally a conveniently
located building was found,
price $ 2,300. At that time
the Library had $!',500 in its
Building fund,and permission
was received from the Library
Commission to purchase the
building .Generous unsolicited
gifts enabled the
Library
Committee to pay the full
price for the building, and
there is now over $500 in the
bank and no outstanding debts.
A furthersum of $3,500 would
provide for the heating, insulationplumbingandall necessary finishing for an at-

The rain the dawn the trees the sun
The clouds the sea the mountains blue
The leaf that falls on autumns breeze
I long for the careless freedom of my youth
Unbound by all the care that leaves wrinkle on the brow
And yet as the oak tree weathers on the hill
I know that, time must, take it's toll
To leave a tired heart & greying hair
The hand that wirise the bread,
Is weary of the towering task that lies before
But greet the new day knowing full well
That without this care the day is not so clear
And being a man is not so fine.
Both are for worthy endeavours - one national, one local.
