"We Wcan about this," Mayor John Simla- _ emon.tolit the delegation. "We won't eee_you. out in the .cold." "We can ask the board for an extension until a suitable facility is found, and impress upon them that you're looking," Council agreed to make the request to the board by letter. "We need some kind of wiittee guarantee for. the next couple months," said Mrs. Rodney. "We need a place where we can set up our things and leave them. We're loOking " for a permanent piece." Mayor Sinnamon told the delegation council had met with the library board and -that Bill Partridge, chief librarian of Huron County, seemed quite open. "We went to Seaforth council at the beginning of the summer," Mr. Partridge said later inn telephone interview; "and we understood the arrangement was only temporary.. We need the space. We had plans to put the children's section there." The chief librarian added di 'rculation t the Seaforth branch is not elsewhere. Part of the cause, he sat crowding, v:Phich could be _expansion. LIMITED SPACE He also said Seaforth is Often not considered for touring shows because of limited space at the library. "I found it almost impossible to get cooperation from them (the nursery school)," said Mr. Partridge, of past attempts to arrange shows in the library basement. ' "There's never been any problem," Mrs. Rodney said later. "This is the first time 1 as ed with Barbara Tilley, 22 , , . ele ti year ieneentice, • Sjeele-Cepe heard we didn't cooperate."

At council, several alternatives were discussed with the nursery school represent- alives. One suggestion from the delegation was a portable school classroom. Mrs. Rodney said another local group had purchased a portable two years ago for -S250. The transportation costs, however, were 53000. She is looking into current prices for the classrooms,. but hasn't come up with a figure yet. A portable would also require alterations, such as adding washrooms, which would raise costs. "What do you wad for S250?", asked Mrs. Rodney. Another suggestion was to move the school to the town hall but, because of government regulations for outdoor playing space, the site is unsuitable. "Whatever assistance the town can give us, we're willing to cooperate," the president told council. "We think we're doing a very good job, and we'd like to expand. Give us a place to live while.we're house hunting." The nursery school, which is a non-profit latent, run organization and has occupied the library basement for nearly four years, has an agreement which states a 60 day notice must be given before they are required to move.
