E. H. Strong, Gorrie, chairman of the Huron County Library Commit- tee, presided at the annual meet- ing of the Library Association held Blandly night in Goderich. There wa a representative attendance present. Mayor J. E. Huckins ex- tended, xtended a civic welcome to those present. Angus Mowat, director of public libraries of Ontario, introduced the guest speaker, Dr. W. S. Wallace, librarian at University of Toronto Library, and president of the Can- adian anadian Library Association, and for- merly on the staffs of University of Western Ontario and McMaster University. Dre Wallace congratulated Huron on having an enthusiastic compe- tent librarian (Mrs. G. Eckmier). Ile said a story he would like to hear told more often was that of Miss Rose Aitken, Goderich libra- rian, who started the Huron Coun- ty. Library in her spare time, with her own car and money. "One hundred years of Canadian libraries" was his subject. In 1851. the first general legislation with regard. to libraries was passed when library associations were amalgamated with mechanics instt. tutes. One hundred years was a long time, but he marvelled at the progress made. In 1853 librarians in Toronto complained they were paid less than a caretaker. Later it was thought a professor could do the duties, but gradually it became recognized as a full-time job and equivalent to a teacher's position. 'Some libraries are chronic pea- eimists about how movies, radio and television will affect circula- tion. A recent survey showed that in the majority of libraries there have been decreases in circulation die to television. "It is a new toy and how it will affect the younger generation re- mains to be seen," stated the speaker, but he did not believe the movie; radio or television will sup- plant books,. • The Rev. W. Wilsdti, of Clinton, thanked the speaker and greetings were extended by the following County librarians: Miss Audrey Gray, Middlesex; Miss Aileen Wal- lace, Elgin; Mrs. Louise Krompart, Oxford; 11.

Discussions of the appointees of the' Councils of Seaforth, Tucker - smith, McKillop, Hullett and Hib- bert, on the formation of Seaforth Fire Area No. 2, have reached a point whereby all the municipali- ties have pradticaliy agreed to form such an area. The question of forming such an area was first brought to a head on March 19, when members of the various coun- cils met in Seaforth Town hall. Representatives of the tire mar- shal's office were also present :to outline required) regulations and at the same time informed the meeting of grants available from the provincial government. The meeting concluded' with each coun- cil promising to appoint a repres- entative to form a five -man com- mittee tq look further into the mat- ter. Representing Seafrth is J. C. Tuckersmith, Crich• � save Arthur Nicholson; McKillop, Reeve D. Beuermanu; Hullett, Reeve W. J. Dale; Hibbert, Reeve Frank Allen. The proposed area will include all of Seaforth, all of McKillop, and about 10 square miles in the cor- ners of the Townships of Tucker - smith, Hibbert and Hullett adjoin- ing Seaforth. Cost of suggested truck is $161885.00, and proposed method of payment is as follows: Provincial subsidy, 35%,.$5,910.80 McKillop, 40% 4,390.88 Tuckersmith, 25% 2,744.30 Hullett, 171/2,% 1,921.01 Hibbert, 17ee% 1,921.01 These figures are still in the planning stage and •percentage cost to municipalities may vary slightly when and if the final agreement is signed. Seaforth's share is to supply building, heat and a quantity of hose, all of which is not to exceed $1,800,00. Seaforth will also man the truck and maintain it. Reasons advanced to keep the truck in Seaforth are that the town is central to all areas protected; trained volunteer firemen are avail- able at all times; firemen are more familiar with equipment, and at- tention to truck by fire chief and qualified mechanics and drivers will be available at all times. The formation of Seaforth Fire Area No. 2 has been sparked by J. C. Crich, Seaforth, a volunteer member of the Seaforth Fire Bri- gade for many years, and at pres- ent chairman of the fire and water committee of the Seaforth Council'. Several meetings have been held, the latest of which was with Hib- bert council Monday afternoon. The council as a whole supported the move and agreed to the sug- gested cost. Prior to tbis meeting, the other municipalities concerned had already agreed to the neces- sity of such an area, and to the costs involved. The next step is carrying out the legal details of the agreement, which will be start- ed this week. according to Mr. Crioh, When this is completed each member of the committee will re- port back to his council with a copy of the agreement for final ratification. The truck in mind is a Bickle- Seagrave triple combination pump- er with a pump capacity of 420 gallons per minute at 120 pounds pressure, tank capacity of 500 gal- lons, approximately 1.000 feet of hose, and a seif-'powered auxiliary pump for supplementing a water supply from a well or creek. • Former Lawyer Heads Conservatives Elmer D. Bell, K.C., Exeter, and formerly of Seaforth, was re-elect- ed, president of the Western On- tario Conservative Association at its annual meeting in London this week.
