In over 500 communities across Canada, Red Cross provides people with a wide variety of sickroom equip- ment free of charge, for care of the patient at home. Despite considerable debate concerning the real necessity of an increase Huron County Coun- cillors voted themselves a pay increase 41 - 10 at the monthly session of council last Friday. The raise will increase their per 'diem rate for regular meet- ings and committee sessions to $32 from $28.50. In addition to the rates will give councillors $25. for any half day meeting, a session ending before noon or beginning after 1:00 p.m. Reeve of Bayfield, Ed. Odd- leifson, led the argument against the increase terming it "an in- crease for the sake of an in- crease." He said he did not think the councillors came to the meetings for the money,Aibut for the good of the municipali- ties. We should be prepared to make sacrifices." Harold Lobb, Clinton-Reeve, sided with Mr. Oddleifson's re- marks and went so far as to say he was willing to go without pay for the work 'he did on council. The portion of the rate in- crease which brought the most criticism from the councillors was the new $25 half day rate which man y felt was excessive and should be dropped or at least reduced. Goderich Reeve DebShewfelt, in supporting the increase, said that many felt county council was a closed shop and that the•av- erage working person could not afford to run for office. "The only way to overcome this is to keep the pay scale up to date," he said. He also said that the raise was justified because of the "heavy year long demands of the job. Reeve of Grey Township, 25.

Births MacDONALD - To Mr. and Mrs. Graeme MacDonald of Brussels, in Seaforth Community Hospital on Friday, February 16th, a son, Peter Graeme, a brother for Julie. 27-61-1 FREEMAN - To Mr. and Mrs. Merle Freeman of Brussels, in Listowel Hospital on Friday, February 23rd, a daughter, Michelle Jeanette, a sister for Darlene. 27-61-1 Charles Thomas, said that ac- cording to his calculations a county councillor could earn about $8,000 but that the money made up for income lost while serving. Many of the councillors agreed that they could no longer replace themselves at home for the amount they could two years ago. Reeve John Flannery told council that inflation had to be stopped and suggested that turn- ing down the wage increase would be a good place to, start. In other matters arising from the Executive Committee report council ratified the committees recommended composition of the Tax Review Committee. Anson McKinley was replaced by Deb Shewfelt, Goderich 'Reeve, with the other committee members being Charles Thomas, chair- man, Gerry Ginn,. Cecil Des- jardine , Joseph Kerr, Frank Cook and Warden Roy Pattison, ex officio member. In their budget report the committee brought down in- creases across .the board. The budget for members of, council was increased from $41,450 in 1972 to $53,700 in 1973. It was explained that much of this increase resulted from the additional members of council. In general administration, the clerk treasurer's depart- ment, the budget increased from $93,200 last year to a projected $104,850 -in 1973. This budget includes the cost of operating the clerk treasurers department as well. as such items as legal and audit fees, insurance and liability. The committee noted in its report that increased salaries accounted for much of the budget increase. Residents (Continued from Page 1) lage. There included: , 1.
