Postal Library Proposal Prompts Civic Club Endorsement
Lethbridge women push a postal library plan proposed by Jeerph Tracy to supply Canada with books via post offices. The plan estimates 10 million books at about 1 dollar per volume plus installation costs, arguing nationwide access with minimal extra space and a shared national system. A resolution by the Women's Civic Club requests favorable action from the prime minister and national council, noting potential long trips for agricultural exporters and a tour of Canada and the United States by farming assessors.
