THE LIBRARY. OW that the rainy season is with us once more, the thought’ of a good book to read by the fireside itself. librarian of the Victoria Public Library, appeared before a Sidney au- dience and explained how a library could be established ‘n Sidney. It Is to be hoped that the matter will not be lropped, as it is one of the things which is badly needed in the community. N to occupy a spare hour or two often presents Some weeks ago Miss Helen Stewart, For the sum of $100 a year Sidney sould have a library of 200 books which could. be changed every two months, giving the citizens a total of 1,200 books a year. It should not be difficult to raise this sum. There are, we feel sure, mare than 100 people in Sidney and district who would be willing to pay $1.00 a year for -he privilege of obtaining books. The idea of getting ip dances and parties, etc., to raise the money should not be thought of. If there are not enough people inter- asted in the matter to raise the necessary funds, then he matter should be dropped. Those who wish to have 1 library established are the people who should pay tor it. -ATHLETIC PARK AND PLAYGROUND. HE time limit when the people of Sidney will have T the opportunity of purchasing the property on Beacon avenue for an athletic park and children’s play sround will soon expire. There are at present at the sidney Trading Company’s store and the Review office copies of the resolution favoring the purchase of this property, and those who are in favor of the proposition ire requested to sign. It is admitted by ‘almost every citizen that Sidney should have an athletic park and children’s playground Che property in question appears to be ideal for the pur- Jose, and it is hoped that before the time expires many itizens will show their approval of the purchase \ igning the document. If any citizen has a counter proposition to submit t should be placed before the citizens at an early date n order that the matter may be disposed of and the work of preparing fhe grounds for next season’s activities h. ks sdon as possible.
