Morris grants 12% plus raises to employees Following an in camera session at a special meeting of Morris Township Council on September 29, council announced that it had reached a wage agreement with its three road employees. Road superintendent Lloyd Michie will receive a 12 per cent increase, raising his hourly wage from $11.15 to $12.50; senior grader operator John Smith will get an eight per cent increase, from $11.10 per hour to $12; and roads employee Bob Dickert will get a 15 per cent wage hike, from $10 to $11.50 per hour. All increases will be effective January 1, 1989. All three employees will also get 100 per cent OHIP coverage, 50 per cent paid by the township in a group benefit plan, and will take part in a two per cent Credit Union savings plan. Following the wage announce- ent, councillor Howie Morton asked that it be noted in the minutes that he wished to thank the roads employees for the excellent upkeep of township roads over the past 10 years. Mr. Michie reported that Bran don Street in Belgrave was to be paved in the first week of October, and that the new sidewalks in Walton have been started. In other business, building permits were approved as follows: to Roy Fischer for an addition to a residence at Lot 19, Concession 5; to Edythe Warwick for a garage and new entry room at Lot 18, Concession 4; and to Ed Stein and Jack Marks, both for new residen ces in Belgrave. At the same time, the annual membership in the Ontario Build ing Officials’ Association was approved for payment in the name of Chief Building Official Leo Sanders; Mr. Sanders was also authorized to attend an OBOA workshop in Hanover, with all expenses paid. It was also noted that Albert Norns, the agent ror the owner of the old Belgrave Hotel, had advised that he would attend the next meeting of Morris council, to which council has also invited a representative of the Huron Coun ty Health Unit to discuss the proposed renovation project. Council interviewed representa- tives of three audit firms, all of which had submitted proposals for the 1988 term, and later accepted the proposal of the firm Barry W. Reid and Associates of Wingham, as township auditors for prepara tion of the 1988 financial returns. Finally, council appointed Bob Grasby as the drain commissioner for the new Morris municipal drain proposed for Lots 4 and 5, Concession 5; and discussed the PRIDE program for Belgrave, requesting that a draft proposal for the program be submitted at the next meeting. The next meeting of Morris Twp. council will be held at 7 p.m. tomorrow night (Thursday). Business & Prof essional Directory Eternal life can't be bought Rev. Lorenzo Ramirez used the story of the rich young ruler as told in Mark 10: 17-30 as a basis for his sermon Sunday, Oct. 16 at Blyth United Church. He said that Christianity has been called a religion of giving - but that does not mean we automatical ly are promised eternal life. “Eternal life is not obtained by doing’’ he said. “It must be accepted’’. He stated that we must learn to fiave absolute trust in God - and often wealth can illusion us. The junior congregation was led by Barbara Howson. Rev. Ramirez in his conversation with the children to illustrate the meaning of Jesus’ statement that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God, had the children try to thread a rope through a needle. They then sang the chorus of “Nothing is imposs ible with God’’. Mary Lou Stewart was in charge of the nursery. The choir sang, “Under His Wings”. TheCongregation were remind ed of the U.C.W.

A delegation of Grand Bend - council met with members of the Huron County Executive Commit tee at its Sept. 30 meeting to explain its position for wanting to join Huron. Thursday Huron Coun ty Council approved without de bate a recommendation from the executive committee that Grand Bend be advised that Huron County will consider discussing a merger of the village into the county providing a formal request is presented to the ministry of Municipal Affairs. The delegation explained, at the Sept. 30 meeting, that a proposed restructing in Lambton county would likely result in Grand Bend being joined with Bosanquet town ship.
