Services will be held from the cost the board approximately 31 percent including all im- provements in salaries and fringe benefits. A considerable portion of the cost resulted from the fact that the board, in keeping with other boards' settlements, reduced the number of years required to reach maximum salary from 15 years to 12 years for teachers in the top salary category. Minimum and maximum salaries are shown below with the last year's salaries shown in parentheses. Category 1, $10,500 to $18,200 ($7,700 to $14,500); category 2, $10,900 to $18,700($8,000 to$15,400); category 3, $13,900 to $21,000 ($9,000 to $17,6009; category 4, $12,500 to $22,450 ($9,500 to $18,700), Also included in theisettlement are two lump sum payments, one for $150 at the end of September and one for $140 at the end of January. Although there is no Cost of Living Allowance payment, an automatic adjustment to the salary grid will be applied for negotiation purposes at the end of the agreement, based on the increase in the national Canadian Consumer Pride Index between July 1975 and April 1976. The board also adopted a revised statement of aims and objectives. The statement, which replaces one adopted in January ,1970, lists three aims. First, under "intellectual develop- ment" the Board believes that each individual should be en- couraged to acquire, to the limits of his physical, mental and emotional capacities, the basic knowledge and skills needed to comprehend and express ideas through words, numbers and other symbols, Second, under "physical growth and development" the Board believes that each in- dividual should be encouraged to acquire through participation, interaction and study the basic knowledge and skills needed for development, of sound physical health. Finally, under "social, emotional and moral develop- ment" the board says that each individual should be encouraged to develop moral responsibility, emotional stability and social consciousness. • In the statement, each aim is followed by objectives or in- dicators of performance that tell in a general way how a student pursues that particular aim. Preparation of the revised statement of aimsl and objectives ,was the result of many meetings, ",:involving much research and discussion by a special com- mittee composed of thirty parents, students, trustees, teachers and supervisory officers of the County school system. In other business, the Board tabled a motion presented by Trustee Richard Grise that would increase the allowance from 15 to 19 cents per mile paid to trustees ONTARIO SCHOLAR Richard Mommersteeg, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Mommersteeg, RR2, Zurich was recently named a grade 13 Ontario Scholar at Cen- tral Huron Secondary School in Clinton.

EDNA (WILLIAMS) FOX Mrs. Edna (Williams) Fox, Vancouver, passed away July 1, in her 92nd year. Mrs. Fox was the wife of the late Louis Fox and youngest daughter of the late Eleazer and Helen Williams, Usborne Township.

Interment was in Vancouver C, and Board employees who use their own automobiles while travelling on board business, The matter was tabled until the end of the Ontario Government's 90-day freeze on gasoline prices, Mileage — Continued from front page and made several trips to the city. In addition to the out-of-town mileage, McKinlay receives $40 per month for in-town use of his vehicle. He reported that of the $750 received in thefirstpixlmonths on out-of-town trips, about $500 of that had gone for car repairs. "I'm certainly not making any money at it," he said. Boyle ended the debate when he said the budget in this regard had been "grossly un- derestimated", May change policy Later in the meeting, RAP had to approve some adjustments in salaries of playground, roller skating and swimming pool supervisors when it was noted some of the staff were being paid less than the minimum wage requirements, The amount of the increases was not mentioned. Looking over the list of per- sonnel, Reeve Boyle noted that the majority of the young people were from out of town and asked McKinlay to comment on this situation, The rec director said that he did not use residency as a criteria in hiring staff and that this was based solely on qualifications and interviews. "Surely a town of 3,300 can provide enough young people to supervise the pool and the playground," Boyle commented, although he quickly added that this may not be the case with the pool because of the requirements. He said he was not levelling any criticism, but was just wanting some answers. Gord Baynham suggested if out-of-town applicants were superior in ability or qualifications, they should be hired ahead of local residents. Where the applicants are of equal ability, then the preference should be given to Exeter young people. McKinlay suggested that the policy in this regard should be reviewed before next year's programs are started. Leave complaint at police office Exeter police advise local residents that if they have complaints about dogs, they should register them with the officer on duty at the office.

Bicycle licences are still available for 75 cents. After the end of July, anyone riding a bike without a licence may be charged. Grand Bend clerk successfull Clerk-treasurer Louise Clip- perton was informed recently that she has successfully passed the first year of the course for Municipal Clerk Treasurers, Members of the Middlesex Municipal Association met with representatives of the provincial government in Delaware / to discuss the possibility of restructuring municipal government in the county. Previously the county has rejected recommendations that any restructuring of the county include the city of London. Monday night, despite support in their stand from London Mayor Jane Bigelow, Middlesex municipalities were. told that while they would not be forced into restructuring, if they did so without the city, the province would not have any special grants forthcoming. If the restructuring included the city, the province would allocate special funds to offset initial increased costs of the restruc- tured government. Minister withOutiPortfolio Dick Beckett, representing the province in place of Darcy McKeogh, Minister of Treasury, Economics and Intergovern- mental Affairs, told the meeting that the province supportS the county's Move to restructure and streamline its operation, Mr. Beckett denied allegations that the Middlesex teStruChiting would just be a step towards regional government. "If your restructured county serves your needs, I can't see why anyone would want to change it," said Mr. 13edkett. London Mayor Jane Bigelow spoke in favour of county restructuring without the city of London being involved. She said that the county has very little power in relation to the city of London in current dealings between the two and suggested the county should have as little as possible to do with the city of London until the county is restructured. "I think the province should give them special consideration and not leave them out in the cold," said the London mayor. Planning and most other services are now the respon- sibility of the 22 individual municipalities within the county but some joint services might be possible. Gardiner Church, director of restructuring studies for the ministry said services could be combined if the municipalities were in agreement. Presently, the county's service to its municipalities is mainly in the area of roads. Biddulph Deputy Reeve 'Fred Dobbs stated that it seemed the restructuring was being done for the benefit of Queen's Park but the county did not stand to get anything back in the way of special powers or grants. Special assistant to the treasurer Ron Farrow said the province had acted to bring about restructuring in the past but no such pressure was placed on Middlesex county. A complaint regarding lack of municipal or county control over budgets set by county school boards brought a positive A drain petition from Ed Glavin and James Glavin for a municipal drain on lot three, concession four was accepted and forwarded to C. P. Corbett of Lucan for an engineering report; response from Mr. Beckett. He said that the province was aware of this "thorny problem" but he would not elaborate what measures the province is con- sidering to rectify the problem. After considerable verbal sniping, Mr. Beckett remarked, "We're not here to sell you anything, we're here as resource persons. The government's position right now is that there will not be any regional govern- ments unless it is requested by the municipalities involved." At a meeting of Stephen Township council held Tuesday evening, council ordered that letters be sent to all summer users of water in the Stephen Water Area No. 1 north of Grand Bend reminding them that only authorized personnel are allowed to turn the water on. Grand Bend PUC, which operates the system for Stephen Township, had informed council that several users had not requested the valves opened this year. Council decided to impose penalties if the practice is con- tinued. A delegation from Kingsmere North, a subdivision north of Grand Bend in Stephen Town- ship, appeared before council seeking assistance with an erosion problem in, a gully and road water drainage on Eva Street. Council will investigate the problems before making any decision. John Miller of Crediton received permission to• start an auto wrecking yard , on'" his property on lot 10, concession eight, providing he operates within the regulations of the Ministry of the Environment, Ministry of Transportation and Communications and Stephen Township , Council instructed the drain inspector to repair the Stanlake drain in Stephen township when he receives a request .from property owners or the village of Grand Bend. A petition for water service from the Lake Huron Water Supply was received from residents of highway 83, the north boundary concession. Council accepted the petition and for- warded it to the engineering firm of B. M. Ross for a report on costs. Seven tile drain loan ap- plications were received and approved for the total amount of $43,600. Council gave its approval to a land severance application by Nathalie Hicks of the south boundary concession, No special help for county if London not in restructuring
