PAGE 15. Auburn U.C.W. plans Christmas family dinner Dec. 10 On November 27 at 2 p.m. Knox U.C.W. met atthe church. Mrs. Tom Jardin opened the worship with an Indian verse. With Marjorie McDougall at the piano, "Sweet Hour of Prayer" Alternate crop program announced A five-part, $2.5 million pro- gram to encourage the introduc- tion and expansion of alternate crops in Ontario was announced November 12 by Agriculture and Food Minister Jack Riddell. "We should be able to grow a number of new crops in Ontario given the proper research and development," he said. "There are also some crops now grown on a small scale or in specific areas that could be expanded." Continued from page 1 "Unfortunately, our neighbor- ing counties did grant increases and once again we find ourselves in a catch-up situation," Steckle said. The proposal was the result of negotiations with each of the department heads and Steckle said the committee felt council would not be setting what might be considered a precedent by union employees. "The wage and benefit package of our union employees have kept pretty well in line," Steckle said, —the union people have always done well ... their negotiating power has given them the increas- es which have allowed them to keep pace." He also told council there was no question of legality. "We've looked at it (legality) and we know that we can do it ... that is a legal opinion," Steckle said. Coun. Tom Cunningham (Hul- lett reeve), a past warden, said he had to "personally, do a lot of soul searching", when he read the recommendation and was the first of many to suggest that the matter was one for the next council, notwithstanding the legal opinion. Cunningham said he feared the "ripple effect" which might result from such a decision. "If we pass this today, we are passing that ripple effect on to the was sung followed by Marjorie McDougall reading the 23rd Psalm in Native Indian veracular. Mrs. Jardin spoke on Quebec City, originally the Indian settle- ment, Stadacona. Dowe care about our native people? Are the wrongs done through the years, being corrected? May this country with God's help make appropriate changes in their treatment. Marj- orie McDougall read "The House of Prayer," followed by prayer by Mrs. Jardin. Mrs. Ross Robinson received the collection and hymn, "0 God Our Help In Ages Past" was sung. The Communications and Liter- ature chairperson spoke about her work the past two years and of the forthcoming studyofthe Native Indians. She donated a book "Half Breed" to the U.C.W. library. Mrs. Don Haines opened the business meeting with prayer. The new slate of officers was shown and council," he said, "and that would not be fair." Coun. Bob Fisher (Zurich reeve) also expressed opposition to mak- ing an immediate decision on the issue. In addition, he suggested Huron County be the first "to hold our own and have them stay as they are ... hopefully we won't lose any department heads but if they are able to go elsewhere and make more money then more power to them." Coun. Tony Bedard (Hay deputy reeve) in addition to opposing the move to decide the issue at that meeting, said any increases should be kept to "whatever the cost of living is." The department heads, said Bedard, "are making a very good wage." The timing of such a decision was not right, according to Coun. Brian McBurney (Turnberry reeve). "I think they're good people ... but they should be good people for the money they are getting," he said. "If this is passed," McBurney added, "then I can see every employee in the county coming to us wanting a six to nine per cent increase." Coun. Lionel Wilder (Hay reeve) was successful in his motion to table the controversial issue until the December meeting and a new council. It would give the new councillors "a way of getting experienced right away." Wilder said. reports read by unit leaders, chairperson, etc. of the past two years. Names for the new units were drawn by Betty Mash and Mrs. Garry Shuttleworth. Christmas family dinner will be held on Tuesday, December 10 at 12 p.m. Unit I will clear up and wash dishes and Unit II will set up and serve. Meat will be supplied. Elliott Lapp will show his pictures of Italy. Remember that 50c can save sight in Africa. Donations are to be sent to Town and Country Homemakers and The Christian Resource Centre. Mrs. Haines thanked the mem- bers for their help during her two years as president and closed with prayer. The afternoon closed with a lunch and a social half hour.
