Council Around the town A study group from Canadian Forces Headquarters has been talking to servicemen across the country this spring about a sub- ject dear to everyone's heart— pay and allowances. The main purpose of the five- man team is to establish general principles governing the armed forces' pay and allowances struc- ture. These will then be applied to a review of the entire system, including pay and rank, progres- sive pay increments, subsistance allowance, marriage allowance and special allowances payable for risk, responsibility and en- vironment, Two weeks ago Canadian Forces Headquarters announced a pay increase for pilots only. This ranges from $300 to $3,000 per year. This pay increase was the first of several recommenda- tions actioned to try and stop the flow of service pilots to the American and Canadian airlines. Highly attractive offers are being made to Canadian military train- ed pilots and it is hoped the pay increase together with other pro- posed changes will keep the pilots in the military.

It is expected that many teach- ers and members of school boards from Exeter and area will be attending this presentation.
