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. 4 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. • CAVEN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Minister: Rev. Wilfred D. Jarvis, B.A., B.D.

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.

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 wins awards Kenneth Anderson, son of the Reverend George and Mrs. Anderson, won five awards at the spring convocation of Huron College, Saturday. Mr. Anderson who graduated from Windsor University with his Bachelor of Arts last year, has completed his first year theology at Huron College, The prizes he won were: The Hallet Scholarship, the Dr. Waller Memorial Prize, the Charles Henry Waller Memorial Prize, Bishop Appleyard's Prize and the Reverend Canon S. H. Brownlee Holy Scripture Reading Prize. 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?

The tender of Coldstream Concrete Limited, RR 2, Ilderton in the amount of $8,873.10 was accepted to supply tile for all the drains that were approved. Five of the six other tenders were exactly the same at a slightly higher figure. Ontario Culvert & Metal Products of Waterloo will supply various culverts and pipes for use this summer for $1,002.35, the lowest of four bids received. William Feltz of Lieury was hired to supervise the township dump located on Concession 14. Starting Monday, May 10 both township dumps will be under supervision and the gates will be open only on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Approval was given to McDonald Sanitation Services to operate their own sanitary land fill site. The Crediton area firm will supervise operation of the township dump located on Con- cession 4.
