The paperback book is also helping to fill the growing needs. Editions of many new and classical works are available in well-made books with paper covers at prices which permit the purchase of three copies instead of one hard back book. Ailsa Craig hosted one of the first of the County's series of Coffee and Conversation groups, when staff from branches in adjoining areas gathered to discuss mutual problems. The Parkhill branch showed a substantial gain in book circulation and in Lucan, the library was opened for additional hours. Three sections of shelving, a file, and a phone were installed. The County Library offers a free service of books by mail for people who are unable to go to the library and choose their own books. Books are carefully selected by a professional librarian to meet the needs and interests expressed by each individual. They are delivered in a specially designed press-stud bag. Even the postage is paid for this deluxe service. Action taken to lower cost By MRS. DOROTHY McALPINE It was brought to the attention of the new directors that the Middlesex County Federation of Agriculture puts the Farm and Country in every farm home in Middlesex. This fact I am sure is not known by many farmers who enjoy the publications. During 1969 the Ontario Federation of Agriculture took decisive action to reduce the cost of in-puts to farmers. Tractor and general farm machinery purchases through the federation have saved individual farmers a considerable amount of money. Meredith Robb reported that the information meetings held in Middlesex were very successful and urged all directors to follow this up by selling Individual Service Memberships in the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. Middlesex Federation of Agriculture passed a resolution objecting to the holding of any Peace Festival of International magnitude in rural Ontario. It also went on record to say they backed the township councils of McGillivray, East and West Williams on the stand they have taken on the Peace Festival. Huron MP Robert McKinley has decided to keep a special watch over federal spending on aid to industry under the new Regional Development. Incentives Act and has found more than 60 percent of the grants approved to the end of February went to Quebec. "It's just as I suspected it was going to be when this program was started," he reported as he noted that of the $23,489,329 involved in the deals made by the regional economic expansion department for the establishment or expansion of manufacturing plants, $14,408,833 was for firms in Quebec. The figures cover only the federal offers accepted by companies. In several other cases, offers were made but because they were insufficient or for other reasons, they were declined, In a letter from Ottawa this week, McKinley said his principle interest for finding out where the regional development assistance is going is because he has been endeavouring to have industries or institutions that may consider making use of the facilities at CFB Clinton made eligible for these regional development incentive grants. "So far the Minister of Regional Development has not seen fit to grant this, but I am still pursuing the matter," he added. Departmental officials claim that no significance can be taken from the figures because they apply to only the first few months of the program, and do not include grants and other assistance approved for other industries under the old Area Development Act during the same period. Companies had the right, until the end of 1969, to choose assistance under that act, which included accelerated depreciation and other fiscal inventives in addition to grants, or under the new Regional Development Incentives Act which provides only for grants but on a larger scale than previously. The biggest package of assistance under ADA approved during the period (between June 27 and February 28), a regional economic expansion department spokesman said, was that amounting to more than $10 millions to the Michelin Tire Company to encourage its establishment of two plants in Nova Scotia. This amount included approximately $8,000,000 in grants and the remainder in accelerated depreciation allowances for tax purposes, plus the value of duty-free entry on Michelin tires from France while the plants are under construction. The department spokesman said that applications for grants under RDIA are processed in the order they are received. But in many cases there were delays in reaching final decisions on the extent of assistance, if any, because of insufficient information supplied by the applicants. "And we don't tell a company where it should locate. They decide this on their own. As long as it is prepared to locate in a designated region and meets other conditions set out in the Act, we are ready to help," he said. He noted that one-quarter of the amount approved for Quebec industries was for a Belgian company, Glaverbal Vererie Limited, which is setting up a sheet glass factory in that province with an expected staff of 260. The total investment involved is $13,000,000 and of this approximately four million will come from Ottawa in the form of a grant based on 20 percent of capital investment plus $5,000 per job, Mr,. McKinley claims this. company had been considering establishing the plant in Parry Sonnd, Ont., until that area was. removed from the designated regions list at the end of last year, but departmental officials say it had also been looking at another Ontario area that was left on the list and had been told the assistance would be forthcoming if it chose to establish there. New Brunswick has shown up with a large amount because of a grant of almost $4,000,000 to a new McCains food processing plant there, officials explain. The company was the first to have its application for assistance under the new Act approved. -The departmental official The Huron-Perth Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association met in the Seaforth Community Hospital with Mrs. Edith Brothers, Stratford, the president, presiding. Routine reports were given by the Chairmen of the various committees. Ralph Goren, Stratford, Christmas Seal Chairman, 'reported the 1969 campaign had closed with a total of $32,748.65 received. He expressed the committee's appreciation for the support given the campaign. George Watt, Blyth, the Rehabilitation and Social Service Chairman said that 16 Inhalation Therapy Machines are still a popular item as far as his Committee is concerned. Fifteen are presently out in the community and are constantly changing hands. Mr. Watt reported that eight children had just completed an Asthmatic Conditioning Course in Stratford and are preparing to demonstrate exercises and games at the association's annual meeting to be held early in May. Tom Leiner, Londesboro, Case Finding Chairman said the association is considering the purchase of a Pulmonary Function Vital Capacity Machine to be used in the community. The machine is valuable for Diagnosis, Therapy, Prognosis and Research in respiratory disease and would be a -welcome addition to the facilities of the health "team" in the community. Mrs. Edith Fisher, Mitchell, gave the Education report. Mrs. Fisher said that the Association's office in Stratford is a constant source of information and aid to all ages and facets of society. Some 12,350 pamphlets had been distributed on request since the last meeting. Mrs. Fisher also reported that the Association's Program Director, Mrs. Beryl Davidson had addressed eight gatherings since the last meeting and that a Nurses Institute had been held with three special speakers. It was announced that the Association would be taking part in the 25th Anniversary celebrations of the Kinsmen Club. The Christmas Seal Campaign was originally in charge of a committee of the Kinsmen Club in Stratford under the guidance of E. J. Davis, a life member of the Kinsmen Club and a charter member and still a member of the Huron Perth TB and RD Association. Mrs. Davidson told the meeting she would be taking part in a Program Development Workshop in Hamilton in the near future and that statistics were being compiled with a view {t. 474::.it,:fAfAr.;' Vt" %."'"V "1 . , • , , contended it would be necessary. to wait until the end of 1.970 to gather any accurate picture of the .overall response of industry to the doPartment's new assistance program. By that time, he said, approximately 500 grants will We been authorized. Under Mr. McKinley's calculations, Alberta has received $1,547,556 and Manitoba $1,579,570. Most of the former is for a trailer manufacturing industry on an Indian reservation; and the bulk of that going to Manitoba is aid toward a Boeing aircraft plant in Winnipeg. The' grants approved for British Columbia total $129,510, for Saskatchewan $34,275 and for Ontario, $889,182. Mr. McKinley has put all Hold annual meeting for Huron-Perth group
