They are: Sunday, Monday and Friday Evenings -6-—9P.M. Tuesday and Thursday Afternoons — 1 — 4 P.M. The Library will be closed Wednesdays and Saturdays For all you newcomers to Cassiar, let me introduce you to the Library. The Library is located on the second floor of the Cas- siar Community Club. To join the Library, a $10.00 de- posit is required; this is refunded when you return your library card. The loan period is three weeks. There is no limit to the number of books that can be borrowed. The fine on overdue books is 10 cents per book per day. The Cassiar Library is affiliated with the Peace River Associated Libraries, which is based in Dawson Creek and has seven member libraries in northern British Columbia. In addition to our own stock of books, we receive a ship- ment of books from PRAL four times a year. These books stay in Cassiar for three months, and then move on to one of the other libraries in the association. This means that there is a supply of new books constantly moving through the Cassiar. Library. Our budget allows us to add approxime ately 200 new titles to our permanent collection each year . The Library has a substantial collection of adult fic- tion titles, non-fiction works, and children’s literature. We also subscribe to several popular periodicals like National Geographic, Time, McCalls, People, McLeans and Sports Illustrated. There is a display rack containing the various government publications (federal and provincial) which we receive. Books which are not in the libary collection can usual- ly be obtained for readers on Inter-Library loan in a fairly short time. The Library is administered by the Cassiar Public Li- brary Association. The chairman is Susan Borden, and the Library Board meets once a month, normally on Wednes- day evenings. We are always looking for new members of . the board; if you're interested in the Library, and would like to have a say in its operation, get in touch with Susan. Erich Maria Remarque: All Quiet on the : Western Zs Fawcett Books, 256 p., $2.50. Paul tells us his own story. His words are immediate and set down in the present tense. There are several reasons for this, but one of them is recorded a number of times. For a soldier in combat there is no past and no future, just a great eternal now. To think of the past is to review the shattering of your dreams. This is a heartbreak to be avoid- ed. To search the future is to face the: fear of death, for the future may never come. Better to endure the present step by step than to anticipate the future.. This is the way it was on the German side of the trenches during World War |, and the oldtimer from whom I have paraphrased this grim philosophy was a mere strippling of seventeen when Princip pulled the trigger at Sarajevo. He went from his classroom to the trenches and the army made a man — an old man — of him. With him went thirty-two classmates of whom none re- mained by 1918. Sent out by their elders to find glory for the Fatherland they found only pain, terror and death. This book is their simple, heart-rending story. It reminds me of Solzhenitsyn’s One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. Not only is the style similar, but the Everyday concerns of the prisoners and soldiers are nearly identical. In each case survival is the paramount thing, af- ter which comes food and comfort. Philosphy has no place, not does patriotism. There are two compelling. scenes in this novel between which | cannot choose for power. In the first Paul meets and kills a French soldier he discovers hiding in a shell crater in which both have taken refuge. But it is not a clean kill. The man takes more than a day to die and Paul, pinned down by a barrage, is forced to watch and think during the entire process. Later, near the nd of the book, he is helping a wounded comrade to a nursing station. Un- known to him the man is hit in the head by a tiny metal - splinter just before they arrive. It happens in the midst of a conversation and Paul is not even aware of it until an orderly tells him his friend is dead. This book dates from: 1928. This edition has been issued to coincide with a CBS TV movie made recently. Lions News With extended vacation over and (breathe a sigh of relief), kids back to school, things seem to have fallen into the groove of everyday Cassiar living. This point in time, initiates the new’ executive into their perspective duties. We feel sure of a prosperous term and anticipate that our efforts will afford us a rewarding and fruitful year. The executive meeting of August 4th was well attend- _ ed, as were the two regular meetings in August. Eight new members have been proposed for membership ite will be invited to join in the near future. We are pleased to announce the acceptance and initi- ation of Lion Ed Toffey. We feel fortunate to have-him on our team. MEMBERSHIP With regards to new membership, we feel that our pol- icy of invitation only to membership allows us to main- tain_our club integrity, as well as being better able to offer Cassiar a community minded pe which is the Lions motto. ; The Lions Club in Cassiar a in the past, had many fine dedicated members who have, for their own good reasons, decided not to continue their membership. As is -with any club, occasionally interest lags and membership declines toa few ‘““working’’ members. Dedication to a cause is hard to find. We have, iA well known, brothers of a kindred spirit in other organiz- appreciated. ations supporting causes for crippled children and such like, which have a reputation for comraderie and ‘good times. But who can deny them or us an occasional good time, considering the many unfortunate who have been helped by such dedication. To those who have a certain amount of pride, it requires a certain amount of humbling to go out and ask Joe Public for money or assistance. As is with all clubs, some personalities are.suited to administr- ation and organization, while others have the attitude and aptitude for raising funds. We feel fortunate to have a bal- anced membership and all are proving to be good workers. With this said and done, we sincerely hope that those not in the role of fund-raising will accept the role of givers which we so desperately need. We need your support and this administration will do its utmost to bring you new and interesting acitivities for your enjoyment. C.N.1.B. C.N.1.B: headquarters has recently delivered to us the 1981 package for the annual October C-N.1.B. Drive. The chairman, Lion Tim Walters, and co-chairman Lion Ray Jenkins, will be looking for your support in this worth- while cause, as they put their program into action in Oct- ober. Details will be posted and volunteer help is always MONTE CARLO NIGHT The next major function will be our annual Monte Carlo, sometime near the end of February.
