Council Agreements signed with SHH nurses The September 30, 1982 ex- piry date of their old contract brought the nurses at South Huron Hospital within On- tario's two-year inflation restraint program when negotiating a new agreement. The nurses accepted a nine percent increase for 1983. and a further five percent in- crease for 1983, and a further five percent next year in a new contract that runs until September 1984. The nospital is currently negotiating a new contract with its service staff which takes in RNAs. dietary and cleaning staff, ward aides and utility men. The old contract expires March 31, and the new one for a twelve=month period will he governed by the provincial five percent restraint guideline. Hospital administrator Roger Sheeler said only non- financial matters such as vacation scheduling and management issues were open to negotiation, citing as one example changes in the present practice of splitting all vacations. . Sheeler said the health ministry's proposed 7.8 per- cent increase in hospital budgets would still leave South Huron in a critical .state. "We are running bight right now, and don't have sufficient base at present", Sheeler said, explaining that a renovation project two years ago temporarily shut down some hospital beds. The hospital did not. spend all its budget that year. This unfor- tunate timing nullified what should have been 'a substan tial and necessary increase it the budget base. South Huron llospital will submit its budget by May 1, and then the bargaining with the ministry of health can begin. Sheeler expects to an- nounce a contract settlement with the service workers by the end of March.

Prices for agricultural chemicals such as pesticides and fertilizers as well as energy, equipment and near- ly all other inputsrequiredfor today's modern farming have reached record levels. Therefore, it is imperative to get the best possible return from each and every invest- ment you make to produce a crop. Most Canadian farmers realize this and try to get the best product for each dollar they invest. One of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to achieve• this goal is to Wirt with pedigreed seed that is, guaranteed to be true to variety, free from weed seeds and has good germination. In addition to these qualities, Pedigreed seed is controlled by regulations to ensure seed which is mechanically pure aswell as true\to type.

Council voted for the cen- tre's operating budget of 1181,342, up 14,300 over last year. They discussed and worried over the budget for over two hours with recrea- tion director, Diane Durnin. The projected budget deficit is $16,000 down from the 427,000 deficit covered by the township last year, but the figure does not include the undetermined 'cost of a new heating system to be install- ed this spring for the swimm- ing pool area: Deputy Reeve William Brown and Councillor Robert Broadfoot expressed serious reservations about the deficit. Mr. Brown said he approved with reluctance. Both men voted on condition the budget be brought back to council in the fall for review to check on the size of the deficit at that time. A few of the rates at the centre were increased such as pool admissions for students and seniors from 75 cents to $1.00 and other adults, from 43.00 to $3.50 and the admis- sion for children will remain at 50 cents.
