This figure represents about 85per cent of the total book acquisition budget for all ,. libraries in the: Region 'of .Waterloo, `Wellington, Perth and'Flu,rplq�, Counties, and is more than '' double the amount bought, fpm Canadian agents • four 'yearsago. ,This information was released recently by Clinton .Lawson, director of. the Mid- western Regional Library System. Midwestern, operates as a • centralized' book pur- chasing and processing centre for the 14 public libraries in the four areas,' and for 27 ad-, ditional ,non -Midwestern libraries. "When the same books are available' through both Canadian and foreign vendors, we t ink it's only right t� pur- c'has through a Canadian ; 'agent, providing that the price and service is comparable, said Mr. Lawson. Mr. Lawson' also noted that the public l'ib'raries purchased more .than ,400,000 volumes through Midwestern in 1973, nearly, double . the, 1970 figiire. In 1973 Midwestern also ex- panded its book - processing operation to permit libraries from Bruce ' County, Owen Sound,, Hanover an.d Barrie to purchase "p.rocessed books through the Kitchener. centre. ; In addition the libraries of the Midwestern system acquired ' approximately 100' new l6mm films bringing the total film collection in the Mid- western . area to 2,000,, film . "The overall aim of our work in these areas is to establish a library system to fit the needs of 500,000 people -- the total population 'of the° Midwestern areal'," said Mr. Lawson. Each major library in. the Midwestern system has also been, encouraged to- develop special collections in certain subject areas. Kitchener Public Library, for example, is building a .collection of books and resource materials on business, economics, , Christianity,,, and geneology;. while Guelph is building collec- tions in political science, Bluebirds On increase languages, domestic science and African history, , Through an 'inter -library loan plan co-ordinated by Mid- western, libraries can share .these resource collections and other material fir th' benefit of„� patrons throughout the Mid- western area., • Midwestern 'also, 9perates a` rotating 'book plan through which libraries ewhange light fiction, . popular -history, romance and "who done its", Ito ensure a constant flow of fresh material into public libraries.. Foreign language 'collections also received attention in 1973. Special provincial grants were made available to library systems for the purchaseof francophone collections, and Midwestern received $5,000 for this purpose. - Subsequently, Midwestern and the Subsequently, Ontario Regional Library System in Richmond Hill pooled their grant resources in this area, with Brampton Public Library .also joining, the project: ,Over $12,500 of French language , books were ordered • Morenestings found in There was an attendance of 30 'at -the annual meeting of the Bayfield Area Bluebird Society held recently. ' , Philip 'Du Boulay outlined the progress in bringing the bluebirds back to 'the „ k ea. There were no nestings in 1970 and in 1974 there were 39 nestings with 161 eggs and 82 K young fledged. Mr. Du Gouley had visual, aids to acquaint the group with the 1974 '.results; Maps of the county showing bluebird trails of boxes with coloured pins marking the ac- ` tual y, resting , sites. The road from Bayfield to Varna had the best production. , • The young people of the Sweep program built and erec- ted 100 boxes in.Stanley town- ship last year. Dan Wilson working with . the Ausable- Bayfield , Conservation - Authority directed the. 'work and arranged for the checking of the boxes this' year. With the • aid of a : grant 'provided under the New Horizons program a group of retirees last winter built 350 nesting boxes. The Bayfield council provided space in the Old ,Town 'Hall for the project. Mr. Reg York was in charge of the work. Plans are -under way for building . more boxes this fall and winter.. Nesting losses have been heavy. The only two nestings in Bayfield village were lost to cats. Future boxes near homes will be raised, -on metal stakes. Cove .Estates. planned b young bluebirds flew from one --for--s-enior-atizens way weir binoculars Were Squirrels and coons probably can be blamed for the removal' -of some young birds from nests. A number of eggs proved infer- tile. However the increase in young birds flown is en- courging. Harvey MacDougal, chairing the annual meeting, said he felt they should make some, changes in the placing of boxes for next year. The plan is to concentrate newboxes around this year's successful nestings and. placing more boxes on farms, especially where there are young people ' who would be interested in • aintaining and checking the boxes. Tourists and, visitors to the area have found the 'bluebirds of great. interest. Mr. Johnston, owner of the Old Homestead Camp.... has several nesting boxes on ' his grounds.

Donald R. Ir- vine, Acting Minister of Housing, will cut the ribbon. Roads, sewers .and "The Club House", which 'is the name of the . park's recreation centre, are all being given priority.
