Dealing with a recent call from the mayors of the five county towns for more diversification of industry to make up for. the declining farm population, the brief said "the fact of the matter is Huron county is the leading agricultural producing county in the province of Ontario..: Industrialization and urban development would not comple- ment our agriculture base,.

The county is looking at putting •more emphasis on the development part of the .Planning and Development office, he said, because too often an industry has ap- proached one municipality, not been -able to find a suitable location and was lost to the county because there was no co-ordination between municipalities. As for Highway 8, he said, "the only thing that makes Highway 8 look good is Highway 4 in the winter." Paul Klopp worried that if Highway 8 was improved it, might make Huron County a more attractive site for a chemical waste 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 Over the years these pictures have been lost and some are outdated as they apply to modern agriculture.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 you need further information on this project contact Beth Deslippe at 283-6223. 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.
