USEFUL DATA Publications on current trends in production, merchandising ideas, labor negotiations, personnel' policies and other data useful to the businessman are among those found at Windsor's public libraries. Ian Cowan, general librarian at Carnegie Library, peruses another service used'--by many area businessmen the corporation file. Fund of Information Library Could Aid Business in Trouble (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the third in a series of five articles icritten for Canadian Library Week by Windsor librarians describing the various services available at public libraries.) By IAN COWAN 5 General Librarian, Carnegie Library During 1961, there were 2,600 business failures in Canada. The estimated total of defaulted liabilities was $103,613,000. A large proportion of these failures, was attributed to lack of awareness of conditions within the various sectors of trade, bad management, poor choice of location and lack of capital.

Material leading to a cure of the first three conditions is available in the public library. But, alas, the library can do little about the latter. public by removing the parition separating the works and building departments and installing a shaped counter. Members of the public seeking information from the works, building or planning departments will be able to go to the one counter in The change, if carried out, will place the planning depart ment in closer contact with the public works and building departments. It is designed to in crease co-operaiton between the planners and the other two departments and keep the planning staff in line with the realities of the civic administration, Mr.

Colter said. The planning department has come under repeated criticism from the management lately for what he has called its "dreaming." The proposed renovations will add the traffic engineering department to the. fourth floor, already occupied by the works, building, and planning departments. The proposal is being considered now by the four department heads. A report may go to City Council in the next three or four weeks.

The changes are designed to provide better service to the Disposal Plant O.K. Joint Sewage Project Hearing Under Way No opposition was registered this morning during an On tario 'Water Resources Commission hearing dealing with a plan by Sandwich East Twp. and Riverside to construct a joint sewage disposal system to ser vice both municipalities. The hearing, held in the town ship council chambers, was re quired under provincial statutes which state that a municipal ity constructing a sewage system through another municipality must first hold a public hearing. Donald Bondy, Riverside town solicitor, informed the board the Riverside Council had no objections to Sand-which East entering into the system with Riverside.

He said Riverside is conscious of its pollution problem in the Detroit River and feel that Sandwich East is contributing to this problem as well. William Conklin, vice-chairman of the O.W.R.C., said the commission will make a decision on today's hearing early next week. "We don't want to hold the municipalities up in view of the grants they will receive for the construction of this joint system," Mr. Conklin said. The commission was given a brief outline of the plans for construction of the system by C.

G. Russell Armstrong, con sulting engineer. Mr. Armstrong said that after several engineering- surveys, it was established that it is more economic for the two municipali ties to construct a joint sewage plan rather than erect independent sewage works in each municipality. While Sandwich East representatives said they favored the joint scheme, Joseph McMahon, township solicitor, said Tecum-seh and St.

Clair Beach should also take steps to solve the water pollution problem. Mr. Conklin said the O.W.R.C. is as much concerned with pollution in the Detroit River as Sandwich East and Riverside and is anxious to remedy the situation. "The O.W.R.C.

will use all its facilities to have a system installed for Tecumseh and St. Clair Beach and if the plan for Riverside and Sandwich East is approved, the other two municipalities will be requested to take prompt action to solve their sewage problem," he said. Accompanying Mr. Conklin for the hearing were Dr. J.

A. Vance, a member of tne commission; L. E. Owers, executive engineer, and John Barr, commission en gineer. Petitions On Drains Prepared Petitions to have drains clean ed in the Walker Rd.

Homesites area will be circulated within the next few weeks. The necessary steps were taken at a Sandwich East Twp. Council meeting after Howard Bunt, 3864 Byng appeared before council. Mr. Bunt had approached council in mid-March requesting that the Dawson drain be cleaned and repaired.

A report made of the situation by C. G. R. Armstrong, consulting engineer, pointed out that an entire storm sewage system could be installed for $505,887, or an assessed cost of $1.12 a year for each foot of frontage by each ratepayer for 12 years. Mr.

Bunt said he spoke to several homeowners about this program and found "it is impossible lor us financially to undertake that program. REV. W. H. JONES native of Windsor Minister Dies at 74 Rev.

Pest Control Aid Urged Ability to Help New Nations Cited The policy of pest control operators to help newly developing countries by sending teachers and experts was stressed at the Elmwood Tuesday night. Herbert E. Gray, president of the Windsor Junior Chamber of Commerce, was speaking at a banquet of the 20th annual conference of the Canadian Pest Control Operators Association.

"For centuries the peoples of these lands were held back by hunger and diease," he said. "They wish to move immediately from the night of poverty, hunger and disease into the bright light of civilization." People who are often afflicted with malaria or sleeping sickness nad whose crops are destroyed by insect or animal pests can hardly be expected to develop at the same rate as more fortunate countries, he said. "Today, however, for the first time, science and technology have made it possible for dramatic blows to be given at relatively low cost to the problems of hunger and disease in these awakening nations." The Pest Control Operators Association can help these countries by sending experts and teachers and by training people from these countries in Canada.

'Relation With God' Cites Message From Scriptures Rt. Rev.

William Crittenden quoted the Bible, "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you at the mid-day lenten talks at All Saints' Anglican Church. "Having the right relationship with God is an important factor in daily living," Boshop Crittenden said. He emphasized to the congregation that the church has always provided opportunities to know God and that using these opportunities is the pur pose of Lenten discipline. Bishop Crittenden told them to search the Scriptures and learn how Christ accepted the will of God. He told the congregation to then "govern themselves accordingly." "The right relationship with God does not just happen," the bishop of Erie, said, "it comes through consciously seeking the things of the spirit." The bishop told the story of Nicodemus who was told by The Lord that man must be born again to see the Kingdom of Heaven.

"Each of us has the power to be born again within himself, if only we would make the effort," he said. A Windsor police cruiser was just passing the Royal Oak Tav ern, 3260 Sandwich St. when two men burst through the front door and ran up the street. Detective John Brannagan and Constable Gerald Lang-lois, both of the Youth Bureau, took chase. The officers fired several shots at the fleeing men.

The gunmen split up during the chase, and one jumped Into a waiting car on Brock St. Police are continuing their search for the two men. All hospitals and doctors' offices are being checked in the belief one of the men was hit and will require medical treatment. During the chase, one of the men stumbled, but got up and continued running. Peter Rudy, 56, owner of the Royal Oak Tavern at 3260 Sandwich St.

was sitting in his office-living room above the tavern about 11 p.m. watching television when a gunman entered the open door. The man wore a silk stocking to cover his face. He pointed a pistol at Mr. Rudy and demanded he hand over his wallet.

Mr. Rudy complied. The gunman then told Mr. Rudy to lead him to his safe. Mr.

Rudy led him into his darkened bedroom across the hall in the hone of getting his .25 calibre automatic hidden in his night table. Another armed man stood guard at the stairway. When Mr. Rudy turned on the light and the gunman saw it was a bedroom and there was no safe, he again ordered Mr. Rudy to show him where the safe was.

Mr. Rudy didn't have a chance to get his pistol. Mr. Rudy's wife, Annie, 57, had been sleeping in the adjoin ing bedroom. She was awak ened by the noise because Mr.

Rudy had raised his voice so she wouH hear. She emerged through the curtain separating the two bedrooms just as the gunman was ushering Mr. Rudy out the bedroom door by holding a gun at his back. She grabbed the gunman from the back by his hair. The man whirled around and slugged her on the arm with his pistol.

She fell and began screaming. The two gunmen fled down the stairs and out the door. The gunmen made no attempt to stick up the bartender. The only money they got was contained in Mr. Rudy's wallet.

Mr. Rudy did not want to disclose the amount, but said it was just his personal cash.

stead of being sent from one departmental office to the other as is the case now. The change will involve the planners moving from their fourth floor side hall into space now occupied by the building department.

In dismissing the appeal of George A.

Rawlings, 1787 Windermere the judge said: "I can't do anything about it. I am afraid that is all there is to it." Mr. Rawlings, who explained he was out of town when he received his notice from the court of revision and thus missed the 10-day period for filing appeals, was told he could launch a new appeal when his property is assessed for 1963 taxes. Three other cases also have been dismissed 30 far for late filings. Appeals made by seven owners of land in the 600 block of Argyle Rd.

Projects Reviewed Hoard Central Library The Windsor Public Library Board is hoping for a "prompt" formation of the proposed committee to consider suitable projects, which may be undertaken in Windsor to permanently commemorate Canada's Centennial in 1967. The board has suggested, to City Council that a Central library be considered, but. to date no action has been taken on the board's request, made last November. Mayor Michael J. Patrick said at that time he would be appointing persons to serve on th committee but to date the appointments have not been made.

Mayor Patrick is considering the matter. The Federal Government intends to provide financial assistance not exceeding one-third of the cost of projects which could include buildings, parks, concert halls and the writing of books. The projects must be of a "lasting" nature. Mrs. Gordon Kerr, a member of the board said, "It is our con tention that we're going to need new central library in the foreseeable future.

It sounds like good business to us to get (for one-third of the cost." The total lamount of federal grants within a province will not exceed $1 per capita of the population of the province. Applications from local committee! within a province will be considered on a "first come, first served" basis while the money lasts, according to the Federal Government. Miss Gladys Shcpley, chief librarian for Windsor, said that since the annex was built, tha reference use of the adult department of Carnegie has increased 86 percent and circulation has increased 17 percent the department. The suggested cost of the library is $1,250,000. Stressed Mrs.

The Dominion Bureau of Sta tistics provides statistical data on the cost of living, retail trade, labor, turnover, building and construction, wages and other factors which provide an analy sis of present economic trends.

Business and trade magazines are another fruitful source of information to businessmen engaged in, or considering investment, in a particular field.
