Angus, 23 Ontario According to From Pathway to Skyway Revisited, p. 244, Mrs Dorothy Angus once asked Police Chief Lee Smith why so many hungry transients called at her house during the Great Depression years, he replied that her address was written on the wall of the lockup (behind the Town Hall) as a good place to beg for a meal. Mary Robson (2006): During the 1930s Mary remembers a Mrs Philp living here with her son Marvin \"Mar\" (unmarried) and her daughter Dorothy (nee Philp) Angus, who had one daughter, Mary, who married James \"Jim\" Belchamber. Dorothy Angus was chief librarian of the Public Library, originally located in the John Waldie building on Brant Street (where City Hall is now). Mary and her mother, on their way to shop on Brant Street on Saturday evenings (as everyone did in those days) always stopped to visit Mrs Philp and \"Mar\" if they were sitting out on the verandah.

H., Obituary, Burlington Gazette, 6 Feb 1952, page 1, column 5 According to From Pathway to Skyway Revisited, pp. 264 and 265, Mrs Dorothy Angus became head librarian in 1935 and soon was \"friend to thousands\". She befriended the young English war brides who came to Burlington after 1945, helped them adjust to shopping with Canadian weights, measures and currency, and had a lecturer come from the MacDonald Institute in Guelph (forerunner of Guelph University) to give lessons in planning and preparing meals. The grateful new brides did not forget her help in a strange land. She was named Citizen of the Year in 1957, the first woman to receive the award. In 1959 she was one of those (along with Ruth Blair, Eva Blair, Dorothy Spence, Jessie Small and Florence Peart) who met to reactivate the Burlington HIstorical Society. According to an obituary article in the Spectator, 28 December 1978, Dorothy Angus was hired as librarian in 1935 at a time when the library was on the verge of closing. She had no library training, but told town officials that she liked people and wanted to help the town. They said, \"That's all you need.\" In 1936 Mrs Angus dressed up as a stork at Canada's first national book fair in Toronto and won a $50 prize. She used the money to buy books for the library. She introduced a lending service for shut-ins and made deliveries herself on Saturday evenings. The scrapbook she kept is a prized possession in the Library archives. She retired in 1962. Dorothy Angus was also a member of the Burlington Arts and Letters Club, the Thayendagea Chapter of the IODE, the Lakeside Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star, and the first secretary of the Burlington Horticultural Club. She was an active member of the Trinity United Curch (now Wellington Square United Church) and the congregations first woman elder.
