C. keep up the good work and thanks cigarettes,” ‘are typical expressions in the many acknowledgments of cigarettes re- ceived by the British Columbia Overseas Tobacco Fund. The cigarettes are sent in bulk to Mr. W. A. McAdam, Acting Agent-General for British Colum- bia, and under his auspices distri- bution of individual parcels is made, This is another phase of war work being carried on at! Bri- tish Columbia House, this branch being in charge of Lady Borrett who has a staff of voluntary workers, The Fund also sends regular supplies of cigarettes for general distribution to B.C. men serving in Dritain and has receiv- ed some generous donations for this purpose, three of the latest being from women’s organizations, Municipal Chapter, LO.D.E. and the Canadian Women’s Training Corps of Vancouver, and the Co- mitas Club of Victoria. E. G. Rowebottom, deputy min- ister of Trade and Industry, said that replacement of any losses at sea is guaranteed but despite heavy shipping losses this spring, recent advices rfom London indicate that 25 of the first 26 shipments had been received and distributed, and the other shipment was expected at any time. Some shipments have been delayed in transit but this must be expected under present conditions. In Abbotsford the Fund has the co-operation of the Abbotsford & District Board of Trade. BOOKS AND SCHOOLS (Continued from Page Two) possible by enabling that was introduced in 1936 at Union Library behest, authorizing grants, at the discretion of the Council of Public Instruction, for the financial assistance of union libraries in providing schoo] lib- rary services. Under this arrange- Ment the three Union Libraries, Vancouver Island, Fraser Valley and Okanagan, have set up school library services that are a feature legislation POLAND’S FLYING ACES IN BRITISH AIR FORCE The Polish fighter squadron of the British Royal Air Force has a brilliant war record. In the Polish Air FForce, in the FrenchArmee de l’Air, and now with the British force, the squadron has distinguished itself and shot down over 126 Ger- man planes. Here are seen two Polish ace pilots with (centre) a British fellow-pilot. of their organization. School col- lections are made up from large and comprehensive juvenile book stock that is needed for the whole library system. Selection for the individual school is made accord- ing to enrolment and curriculum requirements. Libraries are chang- ed as often as three times a year, and in the interval teachers have the privilege of obtaining books needed for special purposes. One hundred and ten schools were so served in 1940. In the Fraser Val- ley the library organization is large enough to permit employ- ment of a Children’s Librarian with special training and exper- ience in this field. In addition to specific school- library operations, this type of union library organization has juvenile sections in its branches scattered throughout the district, as well as on the book-vans. Some of these children’s sections run in- to many hundreds of volumes, and, through the request system, juven- ile readers have access to all the many thousands of books that make of the complete library book stock. Special accomodation is pro- vided for children wherever pos- sible, and pupils of all ages, in elementary and high school, make extensive use of the valuable ref- erence collections. In the larger centres library periods are held in the local branch, when the Child- ren’s Librarian, or a teacher-lib- rarian from the school, gives in- struction and guidance in reading and in the use of the library. IMPORTANT FEATURES And so in the country, as in the city, more and more attention is being given to two important fea- tures of modern education: the use of books at large instead of the single textbook, and the cultivg- tion of reading as an objective in itself rather than merely as a means to an end. (Juvenile book circulation in 1940 was over 150,- 000). It is an education in itself to hear the opinions and reports of teachers and school inspectors who are witnessing this develop- ment of a new book-conscious, library conscious generation: a generation that will have an ap- preciation of good reading and will be thus protected against the Ppiffling or poisonous “pulps” to which an older generation is still unhappily addicted. To again quote Dr. Weir's article, “Retrospect and Prospect in’ Ed- ucation”: — “No one can predict with accuracy what kind of social order we shall have after the war; but we do know—that no social order which neglects public ed- ucation and public health wiil be worthy of the sacrifices Canada is now being called upon to maka Already the teaching profession of British Columbia have pledged every effort to the successful pro- secution of the war. Their contri- bution will be no less conspicuous in the solution of urgent problems that will be thrust upon us after the return of peace. My prediction is that the teaching profession of this Province, when weighed in the balance, will not be found want- ing”. We must give the teachers the tools and the workshop for the job—books and the library. essentially Canadian. resorts as Deyvil’s Gap viced as hotel suites. The simple life, dian Pacific resorts. A.

Great expanses of water and wooded country make exploring a pleasure, by canoe, motorboat, automobile, horse or on foot. Individual bungalows or cot- tages, self-contained and cosily furnished, have electric lights, running water and maid service. French River and Devil’s Gap Lure Visitors The central chalet or lodge is the nerve centre of the community because it is there that visitors haye their meals and enjoy dan- cing and other amusements in the evenings. Although there are amuse ments for every member of the family, the most popular sport at tk resorts is fishing. That is because the fishing is so good. Pickerel, pike, sturgeon, plus those scrappiest game-fish of the Canadian water-world, the mus- calunge and the small-mouth black bass are found in abundan- ce. Both districts have produced record fish, the most outstanding of which was the sixty and one- hal! pound muscalunge caught by J. J. Coleman, of Evansville, Indiana, in Eagle Lake, east of Devil's Gap, in 1939. That one holds the world’s record.
