Juvenile Section "Attention should be given to the increase ln the Juvenile circulation from 9317 In 1928 to this year's total of 10.48$. Unfortunately, no record of Juvenile readers was kept from the inception of the library, sotha we do riot know how many Juvenile readers we have. The number of new Juvenile readers for 1S29 wUs 153, and tor 1928 it was almost as high. The large number of chU dren's books changed Is remarkable when one considers tliat the total number of Juvenile books IS not more than 1900. It is certainly an Indication of the need and demand for reading among the children of the city. We have not been abl6 to make any provision for the comfort of the children using the library; there is not a chair or a table stilt able for a small child, no children's periodical Is taken, and the number of their books is entirely Inadequate. Vet under such unattractive conditions, the children come in increasing numbers. It is during the early years of life that the child's habit of rending or not reading and the clwlci- of books Is formed, and these habits determine his future mental life, with inestimable influence upon his whole career and destiny. It would seem, then, obvious that the provision of a suitable library building with adequate quarters for young readers Is a goal worth the attention of the city, the educational authorities and the parents of Prince Rupert."

Orme Says He Thinks Bridge , and l'art of Highway- Will Be Built This Year COMPLETE IN 5 YEARS Large Attendance at Dinner of Retail Merchants in Bostsn Kail Cafe Last Night Speaking at the monthly dinner of th Retail Merchants' Association last evening in the Boston Cafe dining hall,, Mayor Orme. in his maiden speech as Mayor of Prince Rupert, spoke briefly of civic affaire and then mentioned the Skeena Highway. He said he understood the bridge was to be built this year and a start was to be made on the highway on the other side. All looked forward to this, work being done. He now felt confident that, within five years at the most, the highway to the outside ould be through. Mayor Orme mentioned the great change that had come over the nit! chants in the manner of doing business. The manufacturers of goods had tightened up on the credits and this made it necessary for the merchant also to tighten up with his customers. Perhaps this was a good thing. Mentioning the matter of city work, the Mayor said he believed this was the second time a merchant had ben chosen for mayor of Prince Rupert. The first was tn 1910 when Mayor Stork was elected and when good times followed. He was hoping to see as X A uM 'i A 'A 4 ffif all rlil CF good or better times ln 1930. He did not expect to see much new work done by tho city. They haa to clean up the MaBrlde Street! muddle, to surface Ambrose Avenue and the authorized sewer! work had to be completed. i Mr. Qrhie. thanked, Jtij'e people ofj Prince Rupert, the merchants and others for having sufficient con-1 rtdehre In him to elect him. j Alderman II. F. Pullen "expressed ! pleasure at hearing that there I really was every prospect that the highway work would proceed thir. j year from this end. This had been f a live question fat many, years, j One of the first editorials he had written liwe nearly twelve years ago was in support of a highway out of Prince Rupert and the agitation had been kept up ever since, becoming more intensified AS the years advanced. Mentioning the hope that had: been expressed for better times this year, Alderman Pullen said the' outlook seemed more favorable than at any time since he had been in the city. He confidently expected to see an improvement during the year 1930. Considerable diteustion took place over matters of particular Interest to the retailed. President Dan Jabour was In the. chair and 'here was . something like a record attendance of members Including several ladles. Wilfrid Jackson entertained with an amusing sketch. Alderman P. H. Linaey thanked the members for their part ln e1 ectlng him and welcomed the guests on behalf of the association He felt sure there was no need for pessimism In the city and said he felt sore this would be the best year they had had.
