Huron County -Pioneer- Mus-
eum is overcrowded, no space
remaining for articles available
to it throughout the county,
curator J. H.' Neill said in an
oral report to county council.
He had recommended at last
session that an addition he built.
"It will cost a lot of money
to make more room," he said,
"but how much is the museum
worth today? They tell me in
Toronto it is the (only one that
did have, a profit. By repairing
and cleaning, we feel that Mr.
Chisholm and I have improved
the exhibits to the extent of
$5,000."
Mr. Neill 'termed the office
accommodation "a contemptible
humbug:"
The total 6'f' visitors in 1963
was 22,088, and receipts $5,579.
At the plowing ,match, 5,400
folders were distributed.
A survey of exhibits in the
museum showed 5,888 donated,
118 on loan, and 741 bought,
made or otherwise acquired.
"I hope the Hisortical Society
goes ahead," Mr. Neill said. "It
would be a real geed thing,
When men are put on our com-
=mittee who are not historically
minded, you know what that
means. It is a big place, and
there is a lot to do and a lot
to think about, and there is -
a lot of material available
throughout the county."
Librarian Reports
Mrs. M. L. Clements, county
librarian, reported a . member-
ship of 33 libraries, four high
schools, three deposit stations,
and 283 elementary school -
Eighteen schoolrooms were add-
ed in 1963, involving 900 addi-
tional books• per exchange tb be
prepared for distribution, To
complete the four library and.
three school exchanges in the
year, the bookmobile must trav-
el 9,058 miles during a one-year
cycle.
Last year 1,542 books were
added and 1,102 discarded. The
Ontario Hospital here received
400 books, and a little library
in Thompson, Alberta, was aid-
ed.
Advertising in newspapers is

On estimates not yet cogplete,
Huron :County road. penditurq
in 1964 will exceed $1,200,000,•
council' learned in the report of
the 1963 committee. A bylaw
has been. prepared for $700,000
"normal" expenditure, and the
remainder will be provided for
in a supplementary at the March
session.
Including development ,road
costs of $538,986, payable by
the Province, the gross budget
was $1,657,351. Submitted for
provincial subsidy were accounts
totalling $1,062,007. .
'"This may be the top figure,"
said County Engineer James
Britnell, who read the report.
Last year's chairman, Dan
Beuerinan, of McKillop, is not
now in council. "With so much
development road expenditure I
do not see how it can go much
higher. Six years ago we were
spending less than $600,008, • so
the budget has been nearly
tripled in that time."
Noting that three election
casualties occurred on the 1963
committee, Mr. Britnell express-
ed a hope that -this_committee
"is not putting a hex on peo-
ple."
The report, adopted by"'coun-
cil, recoh'Imended that the high-
way levy for 1964 remain un-
changed at 8 mills, and that
any' surplus funds in general ac-
count as a result of highway ac-
count surplus be assigned for.

gram .is Road 16 from Brussels
to King'S Highway 4 —°eight
miles. The complete 1964 pro-
gram b to be submitted at next
session. Two projects stand on
the long-range program 'for
1965: glintgn west, 5.5 ' miles,
and Nile-Dungannpn, 3 miles.
"Development road expend',
ture of $538,986, met by- the
province, if one in the normal
county program, would repres-
ent 414 mills, or an increase of
more than 50% over our exist-
ing 8 -mill levy," the report stat-
ed. Without this development
road aid the county would have
no choice other than substantial-
ly increasing -the road levy of
removing many miles of road
from our system."
Biggest item in road construc-
tion was $147,356 on Road 6,
the St. Marys road between Ex-
eter and Kirkton. This was for
grading and granular base.
The Turnberry bridge cost
$68,565, and the Jervis bridge
in Goderich Township $44,046,
besides $21,773 for work on ap-
proaches: 'Snow clearing cost
$78,871, and salting and sand-.

WEEK AND NEXT
THE . BITTER VOICES
By RAY ARGYLE
The thorniest issue between
French and English in. Canada
today is not bilingualism in the
civil service or whether to use
planes of American or French
"i:k,iis design on
Trans =Canada
Airlines b u t
the, fate
of a small ra-
dio station in
Ontario. ' ,
,, The future
of radio sta-
tion CJBC in
Toronto, which
the CBC pro-
poses to con -
Ray Argyle vert to an all -
French outlet
this fall, has blown up as the
biggest controversy of the new
year.
While the future of one radio
'station which can be beard in
only a small section of Canada
may not be, a matter of urgent
national ' concern, you can be
sure the CJBC controversy will
be talked up in parliament when
the House of Commons reopens
in February,
The French Canadian plea for
equality within Confederation
was received sympathetically by
most English Canadians as long
as the voice was not too harsh,
the demands not too strident.
Radical elements within Que-•
bec, however, have so over -play-
ed their\ hands that" in conse-
quence, too many English Can-
adians are ready to reject ev-
en the most legitimate of
French Canadian aspirations for
a revision of our Confederation
before 196'7. '
As a , result, English Cana-
dians are reacting with 'emo-
tion and, hostility ;against such
measures as the . CBC's plan to
provide southern Ontario with
a French radio station.
The background is this:
The CBC, which now has on-
ly one radio network across
Canada, still operates two sta-
tions in Toronto. CJBC used to
be. the anchor station of the
Dominion network, ' which was
abolished several years ago. The
CBC continues to .operate CBL
as its maio Toronto outlet,
hooked to the Trans -Canada
Network.
' Thequestion then arose, what
to do with CJBC?
As a result 'of representation
from the Toronto area's French
community of approximately.
67,000 people, the decision was
made to move some of CJBC's
present programs to CBL, and
to convert the station to French.
There immediately arose a
tremendous outcry against the
decision. Toronto's newspapers
were flooded with angry letters
protesting the move. The CBC
was accused or "giving in" to
the French. Tremendous popu-
lar support of CJBC's program-
ming built up.

Although the controversy has
raged for, several weeks in To-
ronto, no one has yet pointed
out publicly that for all of
CJBC's apparent popularity, rat-
ings show it has consistently
run last among the city's eight
stations for share of radio audi-
ence.
Main opposition has been cen-
tered in the claim that the
area's French_.comtn_unity is, not
large enough to warrant its own
station (although there are
French stations in Saskatoon,
Edmonton and Winnipeg, and
there is an English station in
Quebec City). It's . also been
argued that there are more
Germans and Italians in Toron-
to than French. What has been
overlooked in this emotion -
packed argument is that if the
experience .of the Western 'sta-
tions is any guide, the new
French station will attract many
English listeners.
But the battle has been join-
ed. The sounds which have em-
erged do not speak well for
future English -French co-opera-
tion.

Reeve Glenn Fisher, Eketer,
enquired for "the story on the
history of the County of Hu-
ron."
"Nine chapters have been typ-
ed for the • publishers," clerk -
treasurer John Berry reported,
and some parts of the original
manuscript are to be dictated.
I hope to find out from Dr. Tal -
man tomorrow night how it is
getting along."
"There has been a lot of his-
tory since the original story,"
rgmarked Reeve Fisher. "We
are going to have to have a'sec-
ond edition if we do not get
,out the original."
Reeve Morgan Agnew spoke
about a public address system,
noting that it was. difficult to
hear some of those who address-
ed council.
"It was discussed a year or.
two ago," recalled Mr. Berry; "it
was. _investigated --and thought
too expensive, but if it is the
wish of council we can reopen
the matter." "...-
"The property , . committee
might look into it," suggested
Warden Jewell.
