(David Emslie photo) Soil and Crop annual meeting held in Stanley If crop farming is compared to baseball, then November is the bottom of the ninth in- ning of the seventh game. Very soon there will be no guessing about what effects dif- ferent production factors had on yields — the proof is in the bin. Your local Soil and Crop Improvement Association has been keeping score of the players, treatments, and what really affected yields. The line-up includes corn hybrid, soybean, wheat and .canola variety trials, fertility, plant popula- tion and seeding and harvest method comparisons. Before we head into next year's competi- tion and the World Series, we should review what happened this year and pick out the real winners. The Huron Soil and Crop Improvement Association has organized its annual pro- duction meeting for November 27, 6:30 p.m. at the Stanley Township Complex. Tickets are available through your local soil and crop director or the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food office in Clinton. Some key players and pinch -hitters will be at the meeting to review this year's cropp- ing trials and plan for 1987. The players in- clude John Heard, Soil and Crop Specialist for Huron -Perth; Bob Forrest, Agronomist, Centralia College and Robert Traut, Soil Conservatin Advisor One pinch -hitter this year is Rick Upfold, Crop Extension Co-ordinator, Universtiy of Guelph. CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1986—Pale; 5A Proposed Huron County brand. of CMHA working towards networking system CLINTON - Interested individuals have volunteered their time to establish a branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) here in Huron County. At present, the group has not received formal approval from the CMHA Ontario Division, but have applied and are waiting for a response. In the meantime, the committee is at- tempting to form a network which will enable them to determine which type of agency various patients should be referred to. At the committee's November 12 meeting, a basic outline of their goals was presented. At the top of the list was increasing public awareness on mental health through educa- tion, the press, establishing a speakers' bureau, written literature and sponsoring or co -sponsoring events. One of their main objectives at the nresPnt time is to develop a pamphlet which will outline a patient's basic problem and give a phone number and name of an agency or in- dividual which should be contacted. Another goal of the committee is to develop programs such as self help groups, transportation and take a look at the ex- isting mental health agencies. As it is with most new groups, funding is a major concern. Raising funds from the private sector as well as applying for government grants will be looked into in hopes of assisting with the development of needed programs and pamphlets. At their next meeting, on December 17• starting at 9 a.m. at the new Women Today Office at 56 Huron Road, a guest speaker will be providing the committee with details on how fund raising can be carried out effectively. Public libraries receive $3304 million in i98788 Ontario public libraries will receive $33.4 million in funding to support library ser- vices for the 1987/88 fiscal year, Minister of Citizenship and Culture Lily Munro an- nounced today. This is an increase totalling $1.3 million more than last year in total pro- vincial support to public libraries. This money includes direct transfer payments of $26 million to public libraries. The remaining $7.4 million provides funding for the Ontario Library Service and other special library programs. "This increase in funding reflects the government's commitment to public libraries as, focal points for all com- munities," Dr. Munro said. "This announce- ment will also assist libraries in planning their budgets because it coincides with the announcement of municipal transfer payments." Each Ontario public library board will . receive an increase of at least four per cent more than their total grant amount of last year. It will be calculated on a per household basis, using statistics prepared by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. This increase represents adjustments for infla- tion and any growth in the number of households in municipalities. The grant for public libraries in Southern Ontario increases form $6.15 to $6.40 per household. For county libraries and libraries in Northern Ontario the change is from $6.77 to $7.04 per household. County libraries will continue to receive a basic $25,000 grant. Funding for Indian band libraries will re- main on a per capita basis, with increases from $2.43 to $2.53 per capita in Southern On- tario and from $2.67 to $2.78 per capita in Northern Ontario. "The Ontario Public Library system is one of the finest in the world," Dr. Munro said, "We're committed to maintaining and improving upon the excellent service delivered to our users. • Store Hours: Wednesday to Saturday 8 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Presenting The Clinton News -Record 1st Annual r COUNTY APPOINTMENTS NON -COUNTY COUNCILLORS Certain appointments are made each year by the County of Huron to various local boards or committees.
