Local writer Jim Rutledge has been hard at work collecting information on the war dead of Huron County - a search that has now spanned not only provinces, but continents. An open call for information lastyear resulted in more than 800 letters, messages and phone calls to Rutledge, enabling him to gather information from people who knew the 196 veterans who left Huron County for the Second World War, never to. return. This time, he is asking for the public's help in collecting information on remaining veterans, including those from Korea and Afghanistan. The information being sought can be broken down as follows: -full name, rank, service number, regiment, ship or squadron, hometown, where the person enlisted, where and when they trained, when and where they were overseas, when did the person return to Canada as well as information about their experiences. Recently, Rutledge received a letter from a man in England who somehow learned of his book and wanted information on a man he knew from a Second World War air base in England. Upon researching the base,"Rutledge was able to add another four names to the list of those he is honouring in his book. "How did he hear about what I was doing all the way in England?" asked a surprised Rutledge. The. answer to that question may have to wait a month or two, as he mailed off his response just this week. Over the course of his writing, Rutledge has come across a few obstacles. Cost is a huge factor, as is a need for accuracy and cross "referencing his information. Currently he is planning a trip to Ottawa to visit the National Archive. Anyone with stories is asked to please send them to: Jim Rutledge 129 St. George's Crescent Goderich, Ontario N7A 2M1 or by e-mail to oldfuzzywuzzy@yahoo.ca or jimrutledge47@msn.com County council sets $26 an hour for housing department County council approved a $26 an hour set wage for contract staff working for the housing department, though a few councillors thought the figure was too low. Coun. Bernie MacLellan (Huron East) suggested a $40 -an -hour rate might be more in line with the times. Warden Rob Morley (South Huron) argued by keeping the rate lower, the county will have some say in the standard of work on site. Council approved the $26/hour figure. By Cheryl Heath
