All of which is respectfully submitted. D. !Vi. Mc~]lJlJOP, Chairman. Madam Chairman ,and Members of ,fibe ,Education Committee: Nineteen sixty-nine was another exciting year for the Elgin County LIbrary System. Book circulation in the branches increased to 129,618 books and school circulation was 200,676 for a total circu- lation of 330,294 volumes. EDUCATIONAL COMMITTEE REPORT 108,017 books were made available to the people of Elgin County by exchanges through the branches. To suppor,tthis system the staff members spend a combined time of 5 months on the road with the two library vehicles. However, as well as time spent on the road, an equivalent amount of time must he spent in the main branch un- packing the books received from other branches, carding the books, assigning them to other libraries and repacking them so they can go out to other branches. The library van goes to half the branches each month and exchanges 200 fictiou and 100 non-fiction books at each stop. The bookmobile is on the road 4 times per year for a per- iod of 4 weeks each .time to exchange school books. January Session, 1970 I To the Warden'{nd Members of tbe Elgin County Council, The Educational Committee reports as follows: 1. 'Ihat a scholarslhip grant of $100.00 each be made to the boy and girl from Elgin County attending the University of 'Western Ontario and attaining the highest academic standing. 'In case a boy or girl does not qualify, the award may be given to the two top students. 2. That a grant of $100.00 be made to the boy from Elgin County at- tending the Ridgetown College of Agricultural Technology and at- tainiug the highest ,academic standing. 3. 'Ihat Mr. ,Donald Leitch be appointed to the County Libra,ry Board for 1970, 1971 and 1972. 4. That the Warden be the County of 'Elgin representative for 1970 on the Assembly of the University of Western Ontario. 5. That the 1969 Budget of the Elgin County Public Library re- quiring one mill or $00,052.00, he approved. 6. 'Ihat ,fibe resolution from. the County of Kent reo Separate School Education, Ibe endorsed. 7. 'Ihat a grant of $100.00 he made to the boy and girl from the County of Elgin attending Guelph University and attaining the high- est academic standing. All of which is respectfully submitted. Circulation of non-book materials also increased. Additional film- strips were purchased last year and circulation increased from 132 to 440 in the last half of ~969 or 333% over 1968. This program has been so successful that we plan to continue it ne"t year and funds for an additional 120 filmstrips have been included in the proposed budget. However, :by far the most spectacular accomplishments of the library for 1968 have been in the non-public areas. The staff of the main library processed 1G,462 books in 1969 as 'compared to 7,3112 volumes in 1968. This is an increase in the output of nearly 100% and WDS achieved while coping with an increase in everything else. MRS. EL YTH, Ohairman. For 1969, in line with the policy of buying as many books as pos- sible before the prices increased again .(average price per volume is now $7.14), the library spent $44,429.00 on books. This is about 40% of our total budget aud must be some sort of ,a record since the av- erage library in Ontario spends "bout 13% of its budget on books. Fourteen thousand ,books were placed in schools in 1959 and $15,- 000.00 was spent on books for the children's collection as compared to $7,500.00 for 1968. The additional funds proved very necessary as the number of elementary schoolrooms in which we placed books were increased from 1968. Southwold Central School for instance, re- 20 EIJG[N OOUiNTY OOUNOlL placed 10 classrooms in smaller schools with 29 classrooms includ- ing kindergarten. We provided 35 books for each classroom in the school. Several new programs were undertaken in 1969. Experimeuts with paperback books were begun iu July with the placing 01 600 as- sorted titles in a rack in the Port Stanley lihrary. These were so well received that 000 mixed titles were placed in the Dutton Lihrary in Novemher. Also, in Novemher, a further 800 paperbacks, both adult and juvenile, were placed in two racks, one for ,adults and one for children, in the Aylmer' Library. They have been well re""ived. The circulation for these ho.oks in Aylmer for November and Decemher was 1,2Q4 volumes. / Elgin Mandl' was the Scene 01 another successlul exp,erimeut by the library in 1900. New groups, consisting of 30 titles each 01 large print.. hooks, 'were. placed in the Manor every 3 months, ,starting in June. These books have printllluch larger than ordinary and allow older people to continue reading their favorite authors long alter they are forced to give up reading ordinary books because of small print. ' All 'branches receive some attention in 1969. IFQf . instance, Springfield Branch received a new clock, IShedden Branch door was repaired and Port Burwell got a mail slot. The number and type 01 reference question which ,the library handled iucreased drastically in 1969 and has ultimately forced the closing 01 the main hranch to allow the stafl to concentrate on their job 01 supporting the hranches. Now all relereuce questions are handled initially hy the county hranches, which are hacked up by the main branch. Two ,of the more unusual 'reference questions an~ swered hy the !lhrary in 1969 were "Was the trial 01 Jesus Christ as narrated in (he Bihle, leg.al according to the Roman law 01 the Ume?" and "IHow many toes has an aardvark?" (The answers are yes 'and 18 respectively,) iln answering another question we. may have helped promote a new iudustry for Elgin County. The gentleman wished to know everything about the possibility of raising Iresh wate-r pearls in. our country. These are the highlights 01 the year; mnch more happened but there is. not time enough to relate it in detail. However, I must say EiDGIN OOUNTY :OOUiNiCIIL 29 ------ -- that in all respect throughout;1 was 'completely supported by the County Council and the Lihrary Board. At this 'time I would like to thank the County Council memhers for their interest and support throughout r969. Both the committees and individual me.mbers have .helped. me run the library and I great- ly appreciate it. Also I wish to thank the memhers 01 the County Library Board. Each individual. memher has contrihuted a great deal to the lihrary and I am gratelul for their help and direction throughout the past year. They have all been e"tremely good and it is in a sense unlair to single out any individual among them. However, [ feel that I must extend a personal thank you to the three retiring Council memhers Irom the Board. They are: Mr. Nemett, the 1969 Board Chairman,_ Mr. Wise, last year's Warden and Mr. Clarke, former reeve 01 Belmont and former Chairman of the Lihrary Board. I will personally miss these gentlemen greatly. I would also like to thank the memhers 01 the local committees, who are our liason with their communities; and the hranch staff wIlo have wovked faithlully during 1969. I would now like to present the financial statement for 1969 and the proposed hndget lor 1970. As you see we are asking for the same amount as last year - one mill. We plan to continue along the same line 01 development as last year and spend as much 01 the budget as possihle on adult and children's hooks.

Capital Expenditurcs Cost of capital expenditures Province of Ontario subsidy 993.91 496.96 The few men that are on the farms, did a good job on weed con- trol. There is a -lot of vacant iand in the county. A few farms are not being cultivated and many fields, large and small,. ,are not being lil- led, ,causing weeds :to grow. There is ,also .a lot of rough laud con- sisting of hills and gulliesaiong thl' lake and 'fiver. There were some dirty or weedy pasture fields, with wild carrot being the worst weed along with milk weed .and bull thistles. 'Provinciai highways 'had plenty of weeds in .Elgin. Mowing was iate starting and the first mowing consisted of just one swath hut highways looked pretty good hy eariy fail. Count roads were well mowed. The first cutting on some roads was a little late but by !.all they iooked better. The county roads in some ,townships were sprayed. Some townships had mowing and spraying done; others did very little. In some townships there-was improvement in weed control, while in others, weeds continued to grow along the road sides. Highway 401 ,through the west of Elgin County was well mowed and fall spraying has been done. The railways do very little on weed control. About fifty feet each side of road crossings ,are cut, while a few station yards are cared for. Actual cost to County $ 496.95 17. There were, 150 residents in the Home during 1970 - 69 male, 81 female. .of theW3 residents in the Home on ,the first day of November, 1970 - 60 are male and 63 are female. 18. These figures are for the period November 1st, le69 to October 31st, 1970. All of which is respectfully submitted. -ROBERT HIMPHEN, Administrator, Elgin County Home for the Aged. November Session, 1970 I received quite a few complaints about weeds throughout the county regarding vacant property, lots, sub--divisions .and ev,en where people lived. WEED INSPECTOR'S RE,pORT To the Warden and Members of the Elgin County Council, H was necessary -to' have-some propel'ities mowed and the cost collected in taxes. Quite a few property owners paid at the time of cutting. The weed inspectors in the towns and villages did a good job on weed control. The towns and villages did not give me much trouble. There is one village that does not have a weed inspector. In closing my report, 'I wish to thank 'all 'County and Township Officials who co-<>perated.in helping to control ,the weeds in the coun- ty for 1970 and also the Town, Village and Township Weed Inspectors for their co-operation. All of which is respectfully submitted. OL~YIBOU~NE GORDON, County Weed Inspector. I wish to report on weed control in the County of ,Elgin for the year, 1970. There was a large acreage of different crops grown in the ,Coun- ty this year. Over a hundred thousand .acres of corn were planted and produced a bumper yield. I would say that seventy per cent of .tl1e corn was sprayed, lIhe greater part with Atmzine. A la~ge acreage of soy1heans and white beans were grown in the County along with wheat, oats, tomatoes and tobacco. Ail these crops you might say were bumper crops. 176 EDGIN OOUNTY COUNC~L ROAD COMMITTEE REPORT November Session.. 1970 - First Report To the Warden and Members of the Elgin County Council, YOUR ROAoD COMMITTElE begs to report as foliows: 1.
