T -A photo Thereaders write Question teacher salaries Dear Mr. Batten: We would like to thank you • for the article on Greg Pfaff donating his "Santa" money to the Cancer Society. However, there was a grin - ting error in the paper. We reported to you Greg's dona- tion as $534.00 and pot ;354.00 as reported in the paper. This is a . considerable difference and I am sure caused great concern to Greg. Is there any way a correc- tion can be made. Thanking you Joyce Black Ed. Note - We apologize for the error and hope your letter serves as an appropriate correction. ¥ ¥ ¥ Dear Sir: On behalf of the Global Television Network, I would like to congratulate you and your staff for being awarded. "Best Editorial Page, General Excellence, Class 4" at the recent Ontario Com- munity Newspapers Associa- tion Convention. At this time, I would also like to acknowledge the great contribution the Advocate makes to Exeter and the sur- rounding area. Keep up the great work! Yours truly, • Al Dublin, Director of Information Services Dear Bill; Last week's edition of the Times -Advocate contained a letter explaining the increas- ed charges for hydro and water. There are many people, myself included who would like an explanation vVhy the high schoolteachers of Huron County have just been award- ed an increase of 10 percent for each of the next two years. How can this be justified at a time when there are 1.1 million unemployed people in Canada (20 percent of whom are white-collar workers but precious few are school teachers), many people being forced to take pay cuts and many small businessmen and farmers forced with bankruptcy? While the standard' of • education continues to decline,teachers' salaries continueto escalate. At the present rate of salary in- creases, • principals will be earning $100,000 in just seven years plus a very generous pension plan and all this for just 190 working days each year. Meanwhile, in the private sector, people with similar qualifications and respon- sibilities, will be fortunate to earn one-third this amount. You can turn off the hydro and water and thereby reduce your charges but how do you turn off education i.e. proper- ty taxes? Even as a non -user (not having children in the education system) you are still forced to pay the full shot. The most galling part of all for many people was to read in the London Free Press that the members of the Huron County school board were "pleased with the settle- ment". What right does the school board have to express an opinion which is not in- dica tive of the truefcelings of the tax -payers in this county': If the high school teachers are worth the increase they have jftst been granted then the members of the Medical Profession should be asking for an increase of 100 percent if you compare the respective work loads. Yours sincerely J.T. Wilson SOOMMER FUN - Sonya Shantz and Kerry Lynn Dietz skated in a Summer Fun duet in Sunday's Zurich and figure skating club carnival.
