The new agreement which expires June 30, 1976, nrovides' for increases of 15 to 22 per cent and for the first time will include plumbing inspectors. Under the terms of the new agreement the county's four public health in- spectors will receive between $11,100 and $14,000; the two plumbing inspectbrs will receive between $11,500 and 514,400; secretary Ad bookkeeper between $6,800 and ..,$8t490; secretary-steno between $6,400 and $8,000; clerk-typist between $6,000 and $7,600 while dental assistant fees will be $30 per day. No additional employee bene- fits were granted in the contract and the maximum salaries for the public health and plumbing inspectors will be effective after five years rather than four as in the previous contract. The debate was sparked by Executive Committee chairman Roble Lawrie who argued that the executive committee had juris- dictional right over the plumbing inspectors. Members argued that it is simply a' matter of semantics and that if a plumbing inspect& does any sanitary inspection lie comes under the Board of Health midmost be a member of a:linden. After a lenghthy recess to tOotati§h, _ jutiSdiCtional tights council voted to transfer pltimb. ing inspection to the BOW of Recently, I listed some of the things I disliked in our society. When I'd finished, I thought to myself, "Boy, you are a nasty old peice of work. Do you realize you've barely scratched, the surface?" For a week or two, I went around thinking, in 10 or 20 second spurts, every three or 'four days, that I was a Curmudgeon'. Some of my younger readers will not know what a curmudgeon is. Well, it comes from the root word "mud". We all know what mud is. It is dirty. It is cool under the toes, unless it is in the form of a' mud pack, which is good for the wrinkles, If your name is Mudd, yin' are either in the doghouse, or you are a Itiser. I hope that is clear. To the root word'mud" (unless we want to root around in the mud a bit longer), we attach the prefix. "cur". A cur, as everyone knows, is a cad with teeth, and sometimes a moustache, who plays the villain in old-fashioned melo- drama. In new-fashioned melodrama, he also has teeth, but iii addition he has a big belly or a bald head, and he has become the hero, as in Cannon or Kojak. Still with me? We now have "curmud", signifying a mean guy who is cool under the toes, has wrinkles, or is a loser. Sometimes all three. Now we come to the suffix, "geon", which is of more obscure vintage. It is of Hungarian antecedent, and it seems to have meant, originally, some- thing we might call colloquially "a dummy that makes a lot of silly and unnecessary noise without getting anywhere," which is rather a contradiction in terms, come to thing of it. There are many perversions of the original, of course- We find the suffix in such words as "Injun",4 "engine" and john". But the original meaning is in there somewhere. An Injun, for example, is one of the original "In" people, who' rides' " around in ever-diminishing- circles, emit- ting war-whoops, until he is shot off his horse. Think of your car. The engine makes a lot of silly and unnecessary noise, at least mine does, and gets nowhere. Occasion- ally, the car gets somewhere, but the engine remains exactly where it started, in the car. And, of course, there is the 'colloquial word "john," meaning a toilet.

In other council business the executive committee recommend- ed to council that a new health and Social Services Co-ordinating Committee be formed. The committee is to study and look into matters pertaining to health social services and related service within the County. It was recommended that the committee consist of the Warden, chairman of the Board of Health, Chairman of the Social Services Committee, President of the Huron County Childrens Aid Society, the Medical Officer of Health, the Childrens Aid Society local director, the Social Services Administrator and theCounty Clerk. The formation of the committee was recommended by the Child- rens Aid Society to keep closer touch on social services in the county. Goderich Township Reeve Gerry Ginn claimed that the formation of such a committee was a step in the right direction but it was five years late in coming. Huron County Council support- ed a recommendation of . the Development Committee that the Warden or the Development officer, R.S. Cummings, attend a Ministry of Transportation and Communication hearing to sup- port an application of Huron Trails Incorporated for an Airline Limousine Service. Huron Trails have made an application to the Ontario High- way 'Transport Board for a licence to operate an airline limousine service from Goderich, Clinton, and Seaforth to Toronto Interna- tional Airport and from the airport to other points in Huron County. The service calls for a single fare rate around $30 and half-fare rates for additional passengers. Council endorsed the recom- mendation to send delegates to the July 2 hearing in Toronto to indicate support of the service. The rates for the service will be fixed by the Ministry of Trans- portation and Commilnicatir Goderich Reeve Stan Profit argued that council should not send delegates to the heating. "We should not send repres- entatives so a company can get it licence. It's promoting a business They ate in conipetitiOn with other companies and should do it on their own." he said. In a final ,it of busioess the property Committee has been granted authorization to proceed with a County Ensign tot test S (Continued from Page 1) over 5000 the reeve has a second vote and over 7500 the reeve and deputy reeve have a second vote. The third alternative provides for a reeve only. For up to 2000 electors the reeve would have two votes, three votes for up to 3000 electors and four votes if there are over 3000 electors. The Restructuring committee will sit in on a session of Essex County Council on July 9 to examine their system that has done away with committees. The forty-one member council deals with all matters in council and statutory committees meet during the sessions. If council were to adopt either of the optional sections, Section A would provide a representation of 29 members with 30 votes while section B calls for a representation 'of 26 members with 56 votes. Council currently has 45 members with 56 votes. Court Council clopeTor haekhonse, if toilet offends you. This item, of hardware indulges to a great deal of unnecessary noise, whether receiv- ing or transmitting, and is usually going nowhere, except on trains, buses or airplanes? when it Is so active It has to put up a "busy" sign most of the time. On ships, of course, with their innate sense of superiority, the "john" is called a "head". This came about when one of the head men in the British Navy, Admiral Sir Dudley Pound, affectionately known to his jolly tars as-'Dud,"once went looking for the "john" and discovered a lot of CommonSeamen, and a• very common lot they were, lined , up Wth one of the symptoms of scurvy kno as "dire rear." In the interests of clarity his has nothing to do with the term "rear ad iral". Understandably, Sir Dud -to a high rage, the only type allowed to ' senior officers, and uttered a good deal of silly and unnecessary noise, or "geon", when he had to wait his turn for the "john". As naval tradition has it, this led to the wedding of "dud" and "geon", meaning a john that isn't working, or wsenior officer with a red face, or a towering rage, whichever you choose. That's one of the beauties of the English language. You can take your pick, And you know what you can do with it. If you have followed me carefully through this brief but enlightening explor- ation into semantics, I am sure you have come to the conclusion, as I have, that I am not a curmudgeon at all. I am not a mean guy. I haven't hit a little kid since mine grew up. I am not cool under the toes. My feet heat something terrible in this weather. I am not a loser. How can you know 'you're a loser when you don't know what it is to be a winner? I do not go around making silly and unnecessary noises, except when it is absolutely necessary. And finally, I feel that I am definitely getting somewhere. Older? I'd like to end with a little poem, dedicated to those• keen students of the vagaries of our vocabulary who' have followed me down this pit-fallen trail.

The school boards have been asked to handle all the school participation and all other entries, which are to be 6"x12", must be submitted to the Development officer before November 1, 1975. Mixes totalling $200 will be awarded but the contest rules stipulate that the winning entry will not necessarily be used as the County ensign. The final decision will be made by County Council following the judging of the Property CoMmittee. Lose one - win one, that is the way the Winthrop Bantams have handled their last two games. Winthrop lost 32 to 12 to Belgrave on Monday, June 23rd, Then downed Moncri ef 20 to' 18 on Friday, June 27th. The game against Belgrave got off with a "BANG". Garry Boyd homered in the 1st inning, but after that it was Belgraves game. Gerry Berringer was charged with the loss. However John Blanch- ard tried his best to save the game while pitching in relief. Like in the game against Belgrave the gameagainst Mon- crieef also got off with a "BANG" ' After 1 inning, Moncri ef lead '4 to 0. By the end of the 2nd inning it was 8 to 3 for Moncri ef. The score stayed the same for the 3rd, however in the .4th inning there were 21 runs scored, eight of them went to Moncri ef, the other 13 went to Winthrop. That tied the score at 16 to 16. In the 5th Winthrop scored 2 big runs to take an 18 to 16 lead. In the 6th and 7th inning Winthrop held on to their 2 run lead and won 20 to 18. Gerry Berringer pitched the full seven innings and was credited with the win. After S games Jeff McKay leads Winthrop with 3 homeruns, Gerry Berringer has 2 homers, canny McClure and Garry Boyd have 1 home run ,a piece. In the pitching -section these are the pitching statistics: Gerry Berringer: won 2, lost 1, saved 1 , 4 appearances made John Blanchard: won 1, lost 0, saved 1, 3 appearances made Danny McClure: won 0, lost 1, Skeet shoot scores Scores from the Vanastra Trap Shoot held on June 18 were: John Anderson, Kippen 23 Lloyd Benner, Hensall 22 Jim Sheardown, Goderich 22 Murray East, Clinton 20 Mery Batkin, Clinton 20 Harold Smith, Seaforth 18 Stu Broadfoot, Brucefield 15 Jim CAldwell, Brucefield 15 Ashley Gilbert, Goderich 15 Scores from the Vanastra Skeet Shoot held on June 21.
