Publicity motion
not supported
Councillors Helen Jermyn and
Bruce Shaw hinted this week that
news coverage of elected of-
ficials' salaries are not fair,
Mrs. Jermyn pointed out that
county council received publicity
on the fact they had increased
their pay scales, while Exeter
councillors had not received any
comment on the fact they had not
given themselves a raise.
To get some publicity for their
hold-the-line tactics,, the two
• Exeter councillors decided to
take the matter into their hands
and presented a motion that
council not increase their pay
scales this year.
The move, designed to give the
press a reason for 'a story, back-
fired.

The two failed to get the sup-
port of their fellow members and
ended up having to withdraw the
motion.
However, following in-
structions given at the outset of
the discussion, we have followed
the request that the disCussion be •
publicized.
The lack of support for the
motion may indicate some
members may be considering
increases.

No real methods
for speeding up
The executive committee of
Exeter council didn't present any
methods of speeding up meetings
this week, and Mayor Jack
Delbridge indicated he wasn't too
interested in having the com-
mittee undertake the matter.
Two weeks ago, council had
authorized the executive com-
mittee to come up with
suggestions for streamlining
council meetings in an effort to
shorten them.
Councillor Ken Ottewell asked
if the committee had any
recommendations.
Mayor Delbridge replied his
committee had not met and said
he wasn't interested in having
committee meetings because he
had to sit on all committees.
"You guys get paid for com-
mittee meetings, but I don't," he
added,
The Mayor said anyone coming
on councilshould be prepared to
spend from four to four and a half
hours at council meetings, hin-
ting that those who weren't
prepared to shouldn't seek
council positions.
The discussion about lengthy
meetings had been broached two
weeks ago by two of council's
senior members, Reeve Boyle
and Councillor Taylor,
Mayor Delbridge said the
executive committee would meet
on the matter if council wished.
He said the meeting would be
held "in the back corner" when
council hosts the town's ap-
pointed officials at their second
annual "thank you" dinner in the
next few weeks.

it pro-rated on a population
basis."
Reeve Gordon Hess, who chairs
the executive committee which
brought in the recommendation
for the county welfare system,
noted that many areas of taxation
are unfair and it points up the
need for tax reform.
"But it is unfair to use tax
unequities as a crutch to lean on
when making a decision on
county welfare," stated Hess. He
added that he would be pleased to
enter a motion at the session that
council set up a committee to
study tax reform in the county
with an eye to inequities between
urban and rural dwellers.
Hess said the county welfare
program for Huron had been
discussed for three years.
OK pay increase
— Continued from front page
that five past wardens had been
contacted concerning their in-
come and expenses during their
year as warden of Huron. It was
discovered that last year's
Warden, Roy Westcott, attended
295 meetings representing a total
of 190 days consumed.
Hess stated that the warden's
net gain was not nearly as much
as he could have earned on
welfare.
Only three persons, Wilmer
Cuthill, Harold Robinson and
Elgin Thompson voted against
the raise for the warden.
Approval was also given for the
meal allowance for county
delegates attending conventions
to be raised from $8 to $10 per
day. It was further stipulated
that gratuities should be an
allowable expense.
Consideration will also be given
to holding the inaugural session
of County Council on the second
Tuesday in January.
In other business, council
approved the budget as presented
by John Berry, clerk-treasurer;
and authorized a maximum of
$250 or 50 percent of the costs for
indigent funerals whichever is
the lesser amount as a refund to
the local municipality, the
balance of the funeral expense to
be the responsibility of the local
municipality less the provincial
grant received in this connection.
NDP president
to visit Komoka
Donald MacDonald, MPP for
York South, recently elected
federal president of the New
Democratic Party, and former
leader of the provincial NDP will
be visiting the area on May 6.
He will be attending a series of
news conferences during the day
at the various local newspapers
and will then be speaking at an
open meeting at Parkview Public
School in Komoka in the evening
at eight o'clock.
The subject of the speech is to
be "The Only Alternative",
With Mr. MacDonald will be
Mr Ken Bolton, MPP 'for
Middlesex South, and Pat
Chefurka, Middlesex North NDP
candidate.
"I don't think anything has had
harder work over it than this
thing has had," said Hess. "And
there is one thing I want to make
very clear. The provincial
welfare act is there whether we
approve of it or not. We cannot
change it."
Norman Porter, the director of
welfare for the Bruce County
Welfare program said that people
were well aware of their rights
these days. He said television
carries all kinds of programs
advertising welfare and people
are becoming very
knowledgeable concerning all
facets of the program in Ontario.
He said his department in
Bruce has been achieving results
in their bid to retrain and re-
employ welfare recipients.
Porter noted that sometimes
welfare recipients are moved
from one area of the county to
another where there is suitable
employment to be found.
Figures showed, said Porter,
that while welfare payments
were on the increase in the first
year, it now appears they are
dropping.
"In April this year," added
Porter, "we will be issuing less
welfare than we did last year for
April."
Porter made no comment on
Clerk-treasurer John Berry
presented the county budget to
members of Huron County
Council meeting in Goderich last
Thursday. There were few
questions from council con-
cerning it and the $3,909,050
budget was passed easily.
There were some notes from
Berry with the budget which
explained some details."
"Although the county levy will
be very similar to 1970," stated
Berry, "in some cases
municipalities will pay more
county levy, others will pay less
as a result of the fact we have to
use the equalizing factor in
determining the apportionment
of costs for each municipality.
Again it should be pointed out
that we are now using a per-
centage of costs rather than the
mill rate system."
"Another factor that does not
show up directly in the budget,"
continued Berry, "is the fact
there are rebates to the urban
minicipalities in connection with
their highway levy. In other
words, 45 percent of the highway
levy for the urban municipalities
is rebated to these municipalities
each year. For 1971 this will
amount to approximately
$122,000."
"There is also one reserve fund
which does not appear this year
in our budget," concluded Berry.
"That is the Hospital Reserve
Reeve Bill Elston's statement
that one Bruce County reeve had
told him that welfare in Bruce is
now more expensive, that people
tend to stay on welfare longer
now and that the only thing the
county welfare program has done
for him is to get people off his
back.
Although the executive com-
mittee did try to obtain in-
formation from each clerk and
treasurer regarding the ad-
ministrative costs for welfare in
the various muniipalities in
Huron, from the information
received it was almost im-
possible to give an accurate
picture.
Committee chairman Gordon
Hess said the reports showed that
welfare costs were anywhere
from $10,000 in one municipality
to nil in other municipalities.
Following the successful vote
for county welfare, Hess gained
support for his motion to appoint
a committee to make a study of
needed tax reform in Huron.
Reeve Allan Campbell asked
how the committee would be
selected but Hess informed him
that method had not been laid
down in his motion and would
depend on the decision of council.
None was forthcoming at this
session.
where we have $5,000 invested.
This is the result of a previous
planned program over the past
years whereby we allocated
funds to the Hospital Reserve
made payable to hospitals for
building programs. This fund is
being kept in abeyance at the
present time and could be
commenced again if any of the
hospitals in the County were to
launch a building program."
Ladies send gift
to missionaries
The Exeter Pentecostal W.M.C.
met at the home of Mrs. Milford
Prouty with 14 members present.
Mrs. Keith McLaren presided
over the meeting and Mrs. Bruce
Cann led in prayer.
The roll call was answered by a
scripture verse on Seed.
Mrs. McLaren read the
scripture and Mrs. Cecil Kipfer
read a letter from Mr. & Mrs.
Larry Broughton, Liberia, West
Africa. It was decided to send
them a gift.
Mrs. Cliff Blanchard read the
life story of Mr. & Mrs. Alex
Strong, missionaries in Uganda.
An interesting talk on Seed was
given by Mrs. Elmer Desjardine.
After season of prayer, Mrs. E.
Finkbeiner closed the meeting.
At Tuesday's regular meeting
Stephen township council in-
structed clerk Wilmar D. Wein to
prepare a by-law that would raise
the limit of tile drain loans to
farmers to $750,000.
According to new provincial
regulations that went into effect
at the beginning of 1971, any
municipality that has an
assessment roll in excess of four
million dollars may apply to have
their tile drain loan ceiling raised
to the new figure.
While discussing tile drain
loans, council emphasized that
the rule regarding applications is
hard and fast.
An application must be
presented and approved by the
local council and the provincial
treasury before the work may be
started.
In several instances in the past
drains have been commenced
and in some cases completed
before an application was made.
Clerk Wein reiterated that the
Local student

Please advise
Dear Sir:
Winter has gone but there are
many memories. A story worth
telling concerns one of our neigh-
bors.
Early one evening in February
he realized he had a very sick
cow in the barn. The roads were
blocked, but he called a local
veterinarian.
The vet left his home by
snowmobile and got to the cow
around ten o'clock that night. (He
saved the cow).
About three weeks ago one of
our boys suffered a severe head
injury. A doctor was called but he
refused to come to the boy.
We, the public, have been
repeatedly told not move an
accident victim with a head in-
jury. The boy was unconscious.
We had to do something.
The first point is: are animals
more important than people or
are veterinarians more dedicated
to their profession than Mr. Dr?
My main reason for writing is
to ask the Exeter doctors to
please, please, please tell us
publicly what we should do in
case of emergency.
We find it almost impossible to
contact a doctor before nine a.m.
and after five p.m. and
weekends.
At these hours in between do we
call an ambulance or take the
victim to emergency in the city
where they are taken care of?
