Trustee Hugh Baird,chair- man of the hoard's negotia- tion committee, said wage increases in the second year of the contract would be bas- ed on the federal consumer price index. "That is an arrangement which we believe we can live with." he said, adding that wage increases were usually hinged to the cost -of -living index. Baird added that the first Year of the agreement was designed to move Middlesex County secondary school teachers up from their place at the bottom of provincial wage tables. "There has been an effort to move their salary levels up to a more competitive level." he said. "The Middlesex board salary levels are now far more equal with boards of com- petitive size." The existing contract ex- pires in August. In the new agreement, a first-year beginning salary, moves to a new high of $16,- 360. A Level 3 teacher with 11 years' experience will receive $33.555.

Suggest mirror ball for roller skaters Roller skating at the South Huron rec centre is popular with area young people, but Deputy -Reeve Alvin Epp suggested this week it may be even more so with the ad- dition of a mirror -ball. A mirror -ball, which reflects' lights and skaters, was one of the items includ- ed on the board of management's capital budget request to council earlier this year. Several council members noted at that time it should not be considered a high priority and Monday night board member Bill Mickle reported that receipts were up for roller skating "without a mirror ball." He said revenue had already reached 71.3 percent of the budget prediction in only half the skating season. Epp said that in view of the success of the program, the mirror -ball should be considered. Councillor Gaylan Josephson asked if Epp was suggesting that council should give another $1,500 to the rec centre for the ball. "That's exactly what I'm suggesting," Epp replied. Josephson noted that coun- cil approved $10,000 for capital expenditures and it was to be spent as the board wished and they could buy a mirror -ball if they see fit. "Let's hope they do," Epp remarked. Council met last week with the board to review the new policy manual, outlining the hoard responsibility to councils. Mayor Bruce Shaw said it was a long, but beneficial meeting, and the final draft of the new policy should be available for council at their next regular meeting. Councillor Jay Campbell said he felt good about the meeting, terming it one of the highlights of his time on council. Living letters is Centralia topic Ily MRS. FRED BOWDEN At the service in the United Church Sunday mor- ning Rev. Crowe dealt with the topic "Living letters from Christ not printed in ink but by the Spirit of God through deeds in action and conversation".

ROBERT LAING Sunday's rain failed to dampen the enthusiasm of the large crowd that gathered for an afternoon and evening of old-tyme music and dancing on the lawns at Jim and Laurena Young's home. Ivan Norris was master of ceremonies throughout the day. A helicopter• was in this area last week. spraying wheat for army worms on the Scott brothers' farms. The worms are lite brown or dark green striped cater- pillers which grow up to about one and one-half in- ches in length and usually feed in the evenings. Sometimes Ontario Hydro gives exceptional service and this happened following the electrical storm that went through the Cromarty area at noon Sunday. Upon discovering that the neighbours across the road still had hydro, Bob Laing did some investigating and found that the breaker switch at the road was burn- ed off and lying on the ground. Having instructed his wife to call the ClintonHydro Of- fice. he went back out and when she came off the telephone. was flagging down a hydro truck at the gate. How's that for instant action. The two-man crew had several breaker switches to replace. and a hydro truck was again in the area near midnight Sunday repairing the ones missed on the earlier trip.
