Women's Institute promotes art, agriculture
Art, agriculture, education, live animals
at the London Art Gallery, rural, urban,
understanding and heritage. What does all
that have to do with Women's Institute? It's'
the Butler Project.
In the 1930s Ross Butler, a leading Cana-
dian artist, was contracted by the Ministry
of Education to produce pictures of dairy
animals, cattle and horses. These were
distributed to every school in Ontario for
teaching use and finally the federal govern-
ment procured the series for use in all
provinces.
Over the years these pictures have been
lost and some are outdated as they apply to
modern agriculture. But, a committee of
Oxford County Women's Institute members
has set its goal to donate good, clear
livestock pictures with bilingual informa-
tion and teacher . guides to all Ontario
schools. In the future these pictures will be
available to all Canadian provinces.
Between April 12 and May 10 a sample of
Ross Butler's work is on display at the Lon-
don Art Gallery. From there it will •go' on
tour starting in Woodstock and Ottawa and
then throughout Ontario. In this way rural
and urban groups will share a common
theme through art and agriculture. O
On April 12 the xford County Women's
Institute arranged for animals to be on
display at the -London Art Gallery. 'At the
same time in cooperation with the London.,
Board of Education Art Consultant a series
of children's art entitled, "Down on the
Farm" was on display at the Art Gallery.
Those children who came on opening day
had a chance not only to see. their own art
work on display at the Art Gallery and a
chance to see some of the original Ross
Butler ,paintings, but also •a chance to pat
and feel real farm animals.
The Women's
Institute's promotion of agriculture through
art benefits both rural and urban people.. If

County schools will purchase computers -
The Huron County Board of Education has
received word it has been granted an alloca-
tion of $223,000 incapital funding from the
Ontario Ministry of Education to be used in
the purchase of additional computer hard-
ware for county schools.
More thane third of the grant, $78,000 has
been assigned for use by elementary
schools, while the remaining $145,000 will
purchase equipment for the county's five
secondary schools.
"We are very pleased with the alloca-
tion," Bob Allen, director of education, said
at the board's April meeting.
`•`It's really very close to what we asked
• for."
.He said funding would,.purchase three or
four "lab set-ups" for the secondary
schools, with a lab set-up consisting of 12
work stations or terminals 'and one file
saver - or memory bank - while the elemen-
tary schools will get one additional Icon lab
for use throughout the_ county.
The computers in the high schools are per-
manent installations, he said, while the Icon
labs are portable systems which are moved
from one elementary school after another
throughout the county on a long range
schedule.
Huron County high schools all have per- •
manent computer labs, but the additional
hardware will add 36 to 48 more "work sta-
tions" to local high schools, with the eapaci-
ty of serving an additional 72 to 96 students
at any one time.
"We are now close to the optimum
number (of terminals) we can use in our
secondary schools, but we still need more
equipment in our elementary schools," said
Mr. Allen.
