The Magrath Library Board needs help in cleaning up around the New Library Building. We need to take down the fence, pick up the trash, do some raking and levelling. We would appreciate all the help who can come. Bring rake, shovel & gloves. Youth groups welcomed. Sat. 27th April - 9 a.m. PROFILE OF A VOLUNTEER What is a Volunteer? A volunteer is a special human being who helps others get a job done-any job-without being paid. Volunteers are found among men & women, the young & old, the large & small, the educated & the not-so-educated. They come from all races, ethnic groups, social and economic classes. While they are not identifiable by appearance, "by their smiles you shall know them". They are also know by their willingness to jump to the task at hand. Nobody rolls up their sleeves faster, uses more elbow grease, and gets the job done better. Volunteers are good at alot of things, especially ones that the rest of us don't get around to doing. They can file, stuff, count, sort, collect, distribute, bargain, organize, supervise, manage. Volunteers have the tenacity of mountain goats, the gentleness of lambs, the strength of oxen, the speed of impalas, the dependability of work horses, & the eagerness of new puppies. If we are comparing them to animals, we must also note they are a breed apart. They can raise funds, lower costs, spread enthusiasm, reduce work loads, ease pressure & warm hearts. They are pros at soothing, cajoling, explaining, describing, convincing & adapting. They often arrive just when the stress is greatest,, the moment bleakest, the work hardest, the light in the tunnel the farthest away. When the work is finished, try to say "Thank You" to a volunteer & he or she is apt to say "The Pleasure was all mine". ****** New Books at the Library "Malice"by Danielle Steel,"Moonlight Becomes You" by Mary Higgins Clark, "Shadows of the Empire”(Star Wars) by Steve Perry, "Notorious" by Janet Dailey, "Dance for the Dead" by Thomas Perry, "Spring Collection" by Judith Krantz, "Neanderthal" by John Darnton, "The Obsession" by Catherine Cookson, "Journey to the Heart" by Melodie Beattie, "Scams, Scandals and Skulduggery" by Andreas Schroeder, "Home Accessories with Style", "The Cloister Walk" by Kathleen Norris, "Wake Up and Smell the Coffee" by Ann Landers, "Howard Hughes, the untold story"by Peter H.

WHO WILL TAKE GRANDMA? Who will take grandma? Who will it be? All of us want her, I'm sure you'll agree. Let's call a meeting - let's gather the clan Let's get it all settled as soon as we can. In such a big family, there's certainly one, Willing to give her a place in the sun; Strange - how we thought she'd never wear out, But see how she walks - it's arthritis, no doubt Her eye sight is faded, her memory's dim, She's apt to insist on the silliest whim. When people get older, they become such a care! She must have a home, but the question is where? Remember the days when she used to be spry? Baked her own cookies and made her own pies? Helped us with lesson, tended our seams Kissed our troubles, and mended our dreams? Wonderful Grandma! We all loved her so. Isn't it dreadful she's no place to go? One little corner is all she would need. A shoulder to cry on - her Bible to read, A chair by the window, with sun coming through, Some pretty spring flowers, all covered with dew. Who'll warm her with love, so she won't mind the cold? Oh will some one take grandma, now that she’s old? What? Nobody wants her? Oh, yes, there is one, Willing to give her a place in the sun. Where she won't have to worry or wonder or doubt, And she won't be our problem to bother about. Pretty soon now, God will give her a bed, But who'll dry our tears, when grandma is dead?
