Moose, "wild cow"
at Chamber event
The Chamber of Commerce
wound up activities for 1975 with
a "wild game" dinner dance held
at the Ausable centre last
Saturday.
Moose, deer, pheasant, duck,
Canada geese, squirrel, and a
special treat, " wild cow" were
featured delicacies,
The "wild cow" was actually a
section of beef. "The thing was
hard to catch, that's all that was
wild about that cow," councillor
Bob Simpson, who attended the
event, said during an in-
terlude at last Monday's
preliminary budget meeting.
Dave Nelder, chamber
treasurer, said 250 people at-
tended the event which made a
profit of $1550,
Increasing the membership
and budget while underlining the
international flavour of
productions were major
proposals at the annual meeting
of the Huror. Country Playhouse,
held last week at the Green
Forest Motel,
Artistic Director James
Murphy says HOP intends to
actively solicit corporation
support through .a new mem-
bership plan, This will aid in
financing a season expected to
cost in excess of $150,000.
Canada council and the Ontario
Arts Council, will also be ap-
proached for funds.
Under the new membership
scheme anyone can join HCP for
$10 (students $5). Any donation
over that amount is tax deduc-
tible and recorded with a receipt.
Anyote donating over a $100 is
classified a "patron".
Members vote on policy, are
listed on the playbill, receive a
magazine-like newsletter and
have access to tickets before the
general public,
"The scheme allows cor-
porations to get involved due to
tax incentives," Murphy says.
And not only the budget and
membership will increase.
HOP also plans to approach
major corporations to sponsor
plays — especially, musicals;
which traditionally require more
money to produce.
"The musicals we have in mind
warrant full stage and or-
chestra", Murphy says.
He says plays and musicals
from Canada, England, France,
and the United States are slated
for the coming season.
Other than two Canadian plays
however, nothing is definite.
Preliminary budgets come down

year's budget because the
government's "supplementary
subsidy" fund was overdrawn
when the village first applied in
1975.
Work on River Rd. will begin
after tenders are called for an
engineering study to be un-
dertaken in the new year.
Clerk Clipperton says the PW
overall budget is actually down
from last year ($41,000) if you
subtract $16,000 set aside for
drains. ($52,300-$16,000 $36,300).
But she admits that road work
will be curtailed this year
because of the impending sewer
project.
"We're just allocating funds for
maintenance of roads this year —
we did a lot of road work last
year, but with the streets about to
be torn up to install sewers
there's no point."
The clerk says council took the
asphalting account, $6,000 last
year, reduced and planted it in
the supplies account, by in-
creasing that account from $2500
to $5,000.
The PW account was prepared
by councillor Rollie Grenier arid
town foreman Garry Desjar-
dines.
Yet to be tabled are
preliminary budgets for reserved
accounts and capital works,
Scheduled for discussion at
next council meeting Monday
night, those accounts will deal
with the $15,000 road repair fund
connected to sewer installation,
money for the equipment fund,'
and funds for building a new
cemetery.
Council may also hear the
Recreation committee's
preliminary report, sent back
last meeting for more in-
formation and elimination
($3,000) of certain accounts.

Preliminary budgets presented
at council Monday call for a 23
percent increase in town em-
ployee salaries under general
administration and an increase of
27 percent in public works.
The total estimated general
administration (GA) budget,
prepared by councillor Bob
Simpson, is $44,950 —. up $8,915
from $36,035 last year.
The 23 percent salary increase
($19,200 from $15,606) includes
new sick leave and group in-
surance plans for the clerk
treasurer, secretary and town
foreman,
Councillor Simpson points out
however, the foreman's salary
($12,000), is not reflected in the
$19,200 figure. That salary is
listed under Public Works.
Regardless of the account, the
village intends to increase the
clerk's salary $1500, the
secretary's $1,000, and the
foreman's $1,000, over the next
fiscal year (Jan.-Dec. 1976).
Reeve Sharen says clerk
Clipperton's salary will be in-
creased to bring it in line with
wages earned by clerk-
treasurers in surrounding
municipalities.
"The clerks in those areas all
make over $10,000," councillor
Simpson says.
"It's a question of paying
people comparative salaries or
else losing them to surrounding
communities," Reeve Sharen
adds.
The clerk's salary will rise
from $8500 to $10,000 in three
instalments. The secretary's will
be $6500 (up from $5500) and the
foreman's $13,000 by 1977.
Under municipal budget
guidelines a council can't
allocate salary increases for
employees above 11,4 percent
without provincial approval.
Council has yet to apply for and
receive this support.
Regarding the overall increase
in general administsration,
councillor Simpson says the
$8,915 (25 percent over last year)
reflects inflation. Inflation is
currently cited at 10 to 15 percent,
In addition, council proposes to
increase the GA hydro account to
light village ball from $930 to
$1250, in anticipation of Ontario
Hydro's proposed rate increases.
While Hydro says they want to

Christmas bazaar
Playhouse guild
The Huron Country Playhouse
Women's Guild holds a Christ-
mas Bazaar December 6 at Mrs.
Mamie Brown's house, Southcott
Pines.
The Bazaar is open to the
public, There is an admission
charge of $2 at the door,
Mrs. Brown plans to have the
house well decorated for the
Christmas affair,
up rates 25 percent, council has
prepared for that by budgeting a
34 percent increase,
This in-built protection is not
listed under contingencies, but
the special hydro account.
A contingency account i s a
special account set aside to meet
unforeseencosts.lt is used instead
of adding 2 or 3 percent to
estimated costs on all accounts.
The proposed contingency
account in Grand Bend's GA this
year is $1,000.
Asked if the money budgeted
for hydro can be rechannelled
into other accounts councillor
Simpson said it can. This means
money set aside to light town hall
can be used to pay telephone bills
if the need arose.
Councillor Simpson added
however, that money deposited in
certain accounts can't be re-
channelled — he cited the $ 15,000
road repair fund to rebuild
village streets after sewer in-
stallation as an example,
The councillor also pointed, out
the GA increase called for isn't
final draft. "But we won't be far
out on calculations," he adds.
The 27 percent Public Works
(PW) increase is attributable to
hiring a town foreman, drain
installation on River and Lake
roads, and to a minor extent
inflation, according to clerk
Clipperton.
Estimated PW costs are $52,300
this year, up $11,300 from $41,000
last year.
The clerk says the foreman's
salary (12,000) isn't included in
last year's total PW budget
because he wasn't hired until
October, 1975.
She adds however, there were
two extra workers last year who
won't be re-hired, PW salaries
are budgeted $21,500 for two men
and the town foreman. "But the
major costs this year are drains.
River Rd. will cost $13,000, and
lake road $3,000," the clerk says,
Reeve Bob Sharen says River
Rd. is half paid for. He says the
Ministry of Transportation and
Communications (MTC), will pay
$6500 through subsidies included
in the 1976 budget.
The other $6500 was included in
last' year's budget and is a
carried cost, according to the
Reeve.
He says the drain work was
approved by MTC last year but
must be charged against this
