In its report to County
Council the Middlesex Library
Board related an eager demand
for books on drug problems, sex
instruction and racial issues.
Books on technology, science
and business are also in demand
and an increasing number of
readers are showing leisure-time
interests in art, music, and
understanding of foreign
countries.
Children's books are keeping
pace with their constant
demands for information by
providing factual and
imaginative presentation of
Library has demand
for books on drugs
contemporary subjects.
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.

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 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

Under Mr. McKinley's
calculations, Alberta has

Manitoba $1,579,570. Most of
the former is for a trailer

Indian reservation; and the bulk
of that going to Manitoba is aid
toward a Boeing aircraft plant in
