Hensall Need More Spic For Museum* Council -.TOM 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 news. It is information about merchandise, services or ideas and inventions of people who pay to have such news publish- ed so that the consumer "may know".

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 $600,008, • so the budget has been nearly tripled in that time." Noting that three election casualties occurred on the 1963 committee, Mr. Britnell express- ed a hope that -this_committee "is not putting a hex on peo- ple." The report, adopted by"'coun- cil, recoh'Imended that the high- way levy for 1964 remain un- changed at 8 mills, and that any' surplus funds in general ac- count as a result of highway ac- count surplus be assigned for. THIS ?li$Ilw6y Purposes in .1964, MaifL iteif► ^ on the- 1964 pro- 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-. ing, •$40,916 ' Council approved appoint- ment of five county representa- tives on hospital boards. All are the same as in 1963: John Langstaff, to Scott Memorial Hospital; John V. Fischer, to Wingham General Hospital 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. USBORNE AND HIBBERT MUTUAL FIR E INSURANCE CO: HEAD OFFICE - EXETER, Ont. Directors: Timothy B, Toohey - RR 3, Lucan President Robert G.

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. ODORLESS CLEAN BURNING FURNACE OIL STOVE OIL D.

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. W_I:ND • TORNADO • CYCLONE Insurance R. F.
