T-A photo New Authority manager is optimistic about future The new resources manager of the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority told Friday’s an nual meeting that he was op timistic about the future of the Authority. • Bill Mungall who took over from Don Pearson about two months ago said the Ausable-Bayfield had the best program of any Authority in the province as far as reforestration and tree replacement was con cerned. Mungall said he was pleas ed the local authority was always strong in the aspect of water management, flood control and soil erosion. He also commended the Authority on being the first in Ontario to appoint an in formation and education'of-' ficet. Joe Dietrich, chairman of the authority’s reforestra tion, wildlife and land use committee echoed Mungall’s thoughts on reforestration by reporting that demand for four sub sidized tree programs is growing. Dietrich’s report showed the farm tree replacement program resulted in about 2,000 coniferous trees planted as windbreaks dur ing 1978, compared with 464 trees planted in 1977 and 300 in 1976. The report continued, "It is encouraging to note that the list of participators in this program is ever expan ding so that now almost half of our member municipalities have become involved in the planting of windbreaks.” With the aid of the field staff and two mechanical tree planters a total of 41,900 seedlings were planted in 1978. Under the hand plan ting subsidy about 7,000 seedlings were distributed this year. The Authority’s mechanical tree spade was rented to the public for a total of 59 hours to assist in the relocation of private lan downer’s existing larger tree stock. Chairman Dietrich said he felt more farmers are becoming aware of the role trees can play in protecting land. The Authority, is one of the number of agencies on the circulation list for municipal reviews. On this subject Dietrich said, "We are attempting in the course of reviewing these proposals to impart an acceptance and understanding of sound con versation principles within our watershed.” Bill Mungall said the con servation area master plan ning has progressed well this year largely under the Canada Works program. He added, “Indeed, Canada Works has provided a pivotal area of support to the growth of this Authority’s programs. However the future of the Canada Works program in Ontario is in grave doubt past the middle of May. This highlights a need for ad ditional planning staff that has been evident for much of this year. A report from senior supervisor of the Ex perience^* 78. an&dTanada Works Pat Joynt showed concern for future similar programs. He said, "I am concerned that a continuation of such low wage rates in subse quent Experience programs may precipitate a drop in the quality of employees and their work. In future people may sacrifice wages for the excellent experience that the program offers, but then again, they may not.” Chairman of the finance advisory board Robert Austin reported on several major equipment purchases during the year. A 15 passenger van was purchased from Thompson- Warner Motors in Grand Bend and a demonstration 23 PTO tractor was acquired complete with mower from Exeter Ford. Tenders were invited from all dealers in the watershed for the two vehicles. Austin also said his board has recommended the Authority purchase a two- way low band radio system. This equipment has been ordered and will be delivered in February in time for 1979 operation.

Richards added, "It’s an excellent time to sell timber. The position of the Canadian dollar has certain ly helped prices”. He said about 120,000 fbm of mostly soft maple would be sold from Lots 7 and 8, Conces sion 5 in Hay township. Usborne township representative Roy West cott is completing his third year as, chairman of the Authority. The annual meeting will be held in February at which a new chairman will probably be elected. Ar * The communities of (Walton, Dashwood, Crediton and Dungannon could lose their libraries if they don’t find alternative accom modations, county librarian Bill Partridge warned Wednesday. All four branches are only open a few hours a week but Partridge said the library still has to be in a suitable location. The library in Crediton, he said, is “really in a stairwell” of the community centre. “It’s dingy, the air is damp and it’s dark.” Partridge said the library was so cold at times last winter the librarian (Marie Fydenchuk) had to keep "her snowsuit on” during the five hours the unit was open each week. The Walton library is housed in a tiny building about 70 years old which P. -fridge says “has no heat and very poor lighting.” "It looks like something you’d see in the wild west.” "When our people from the office (in Goderich) go they have to go out to their cars to warm up hands,” he said. The Dashwood library is housed in the former bakery owned by Elda Koehler. Partridge said Mrs. Koehler has indicated she would like to sell the building and Dashwood residents could find they have books and no library to put them in. Dungannon’s library is in : librarian Beth McConnell’s home but he said she’s ex pected to retire later this year and it’s not known yet what will happen to-the library. The county has 28 library branches. The library board pays $1.50 per square foot toward the rent for the town and village facilities and $150 a year toward the township libraries, with the exception of the Gorrie library. It is in a store and the owner receives $30 a month. Partridge said the library board also staff and supplies all the books in each branch. Stephen Township clerk Wilmar Wein said Wednes day township council feels it’s really the responsibility of the police villages of Crediton and Dashwood to look after locating libraries since they are used most by their residents. Charles Browning Sr., chairman of the Crediton trustees group, said Wednes day the trustees are aware of the problem and have tried to find a new location. He said he thought the library board should contact trustees to see if they can work out any arrangements. “We’re not un touchables,’-’ he said. George Tieman, chairman of the Dashwood trustees, said trustees had considered using the local community centre basement but decided lost that would mean too many stairs for senior citizens. He said they haven’t given up looking “because we cer tainly appreciate the library.” Partridge said that unless the communities finda solu tion soon, the circulation will fall off at their branches to the point where it would not be realistic to keep them open.
