$Iary increases
e Perth -Huron branch
of Victorian Order of
Nlrses held its monthly
n eting in the conference
rpm of the Perth County
health Unit building on
Thursday, November 19.
Nine members from Perth
''ounty and three from
Huron County were present.
following the general
biiness, items for discus -
site included planning for
t annual meeting to be
Id in early March with the
eme of "Year of the
.,Iderfy" kept in mind. Fred
)verholt was chosen to be
:hairman of that committee.
In the nursing service
re rt. Ms. Barry reported
th• Mrs. Sandra Sargent, an
e ployee of VON Stratford
o ice for the past six years,
his relocated in the Sudbury
a-eawith her family and has
acceptea a position with the
Sudbury Health Unit due to
the unavailability of a posi-
tio with the VON in that
ar . Christine Anderson. a
nu a from the Hamilton -
W tworth VON branch has
b n hired in Mrs. Sargent's
a ence.
dtmajor item on the agen-
this month was the dis-
cyssion of increases to the
YON's salary scale to main-
rin competitiveness with
C
that of hospital nurses. In
the past, the VON salaries
have been kept at a level as
close to parity as possible
with. hospital nurses,
although community health
nurses' salaries have never
been equal with that of
hospital nurses.
Not unlike the rest of the
country, the Perth -Huron
VON branch is finding that
with escalating costs, there
wilt undoubtedly be a need to
increase the 1982 fee per
visit in order to continue to
provide the quality of care
that the public is ac-
customed to.
The publicity and educa-
tion committee is sending
letters to invite requests to
speak to public groups and
service clubs toincrease the
awareness of the VON,
The nominating com-
mittee too has been busy
with its program to orien-
tate new board members
who will, in turn, relate the
role of the VON to the
public. The branch is active-
ly seeking prospective board
members from both coun-
ties, especially Huron, who
are willing to devote a bit of
time to the management of
the VON Meetings are held
monthly in areas of both
counties to interest and ac-
commodate new members.

The Ausable-Bayfield
Conservation Authority has
just finished distributing
complimentary copies of a
book to all schools and
libraries in its area of
jurisdiction.
The book is a novel for
children entitled Search for
the Secret Fossil and is
written by Jean Davies
Wright. The Conservation
Authority published the book
earlier this year with finan-
cial assistance from the On-
tario Petroleum Institute.
The book has been dis-
tributed to area schools and
libraries because the
Conservation Authority
hopes that the story will con-
tribute to an awareness and
appreciation of the fossil
resources of the Arkona -
Rock Glen - Thedford area.
which is also the setting for
the book.
The book's author. Jean
Davies Wright. is a
remarkable grandmother of
nine of who returned to un-
iversity in her 50's and earn-
ed first a Bachelor's degree
in geology and later a
Masters of Science degree.
Mrs. Wright. who lives in
Michigan during the winter
months. has spent her
summers since 1936 at a cot-
tage near Grand Bend.
She began collecting
fossils along the Ausable
River and became
fascinated with her hobby.
Eventually she turned her
collection of fossils over to
the University of Michigan
and became a Research
Collaborator at the Museum
of Paleontology, University
of Michigan.
In the book a young boy
Peter joins his scientist
provides
fossils
grandfather in the search for
a new previously unrecord-
ed fossil. The reader shares
in Peter's sense of discovery
as the fascinating world of
fossil hunting is revealed
through the pages of the
book.
Copies of Search for the
Secret Fossil are available
from the Ausable-Bayfield
Conservation Authority's of-
fice on Thames Road West in
Exeter. Hardcover copies
are $8.50 while softcover
copies cost $6 00.
The book would make an
excellent Christmas gift for
children in the 9-13 years age
bracket For more informa-

representing the 27,000
members in Ontario passed
a resolution requesting the
governments to help home

businesses refinance their
debts by making loans
available at a lower interest
rate.
Honourable Lorne Hender-

and Food congratulated the
women for the leadership in
their_communities and spoke
of the need for a better un-
