St. John's Anglican Church on Friday. Betty McCall of Walton, president of the Horticultural People from Walton and the surrounding munici- palitiesof Morris, Grey and McKillop Townships decided that a better heating system for the present Walton library this winter and re- commendations from the Walton Recreation Commit- tee on the building of a new library were the solutions to the dilemma of the old library when they met in the Walton Community Hall Monday night. A lack of heat in the present library had resulted in the deterioriation of some of the books and it was decided that better facilites were needed. One of the main sug- gestions for a new library was given ‘by Doug Kirkby, chairman of the Walton re- creation committee who showed seine rough plans that the recreation commit- tee had drawn up for a type of community centre that would house a library, wash- rooms and a food stand for the ball park. This community centre would be located on the ball park grounds. Reeve Bill Elston of Morris Township, who chaired the Society presented Mrs. Dob- son with the Vera Frain trophy. Placing second in the Overal Class was Annie Reid of Walton. Isobel Gibson of Brussels placed first in the Rose Classes and Mrs. Reid placed first for overall points in the house plants. The flowers and plants . meeting, told the crowd of about 30 people of the diffent ideas that the Morris council had had for a library such as building a new library on the present site onethat would be a bit bigger and cost about $9,000. Morris council also talked about the possibility of using a trailer which would cost about $6,000 or $7,000 but would be a little harder to heat. However, since the library is located on a road allowance, there was some questions as to whether or not that was • a good site .to use.

He told the audience they could get grants from Wintario on .a new library if the old one was condemned following an engineer's report. He said Wintario would offer one third of the motley if the municipalities paid one third and the Walton taxpayers paid one third of the cost.
