The structure is to have three Jarge rooms and a vestibule, and is to be constructed of peeled ‘logs which will be donated by J. & W. Logging Co. The building will cost approximtely $3,000, without heat- ing, lighting, or inside finishings. Henry Windt, C. D. Stevenson, and Ray Cunliffe attended the meeting as representatives of the Historical So- ciety. They described and diagramed position of the building, which will face Sunny Side Auto Court and the back view will be the hospital. It is to be placed on the clearing known as the park. The buildings, being located on village property, will belong to the village. This is a community affair, and any volunteer labor will be ap- preciated. BOOK DRIVE SUCCESSFUL The meeting went on to comment that the book drive was very success- ful with over 1,000 hooks being donated. Mr. J. Phillipson, started the Wil- liams Lake Public Library Associa- ed out with approximately 100 books and now has about 3,000 (including books from the book drive). The first year the library was granted $100 by the Village Commissioners under chairman Sid Western. A further $400 was given to the association by the provincal government. Miss Ar- net was the first libraran, and Miss Fern Good was the second librarian. ‘The library was first located in the basement of the old school then mov- ed to a room in the Elks Hall.
