Total bill for
Zurich council
only $9,600
ZURICH - Village council has joined those munici-
palities which are continuing the practice of making
public the personal remuneration and reimbursement
for expenses for its council members.
Zurich council released to the public a statement of
remuneration at their last meeting. Total costs of per
diem remuneration, special meetings and conventions,
and mileage expenses added up to $9,600.25.
A February bylaw, retroactive to January 1, 1992, set
new rates for Zurich council remuneration at $82 for
the reeve and $70 for councillors for each regular and
special council meeting attended. For committee and
board meetings, council members receive half the per
diem rate if the meeting is under two and a half hours
in length.
The reimbursement for mileage for council members
on municipal business is 250 per kilometre.

Queensway News
HENSALL - To help recognize
the Hensall Horticultural Society's
10th anniversary, Bill Gibson of
the Horticultural Society gave a
very informative presentation
about the Horticultural Society and
also "Care of your indoor Plants"
last Monday afternoon at Queens-
way Nursing Home. Several inter-
ested residents attended and two
were.lncky winners of door prizes
donated by Gibson. Mildred
Gingerich won a lovely pot of daf-
fodils and Lloyd McDougall won a
Profit share when profitable _
Dear Editor:
I'm writing this letter as a rebut-
tal to the article that was put in the
local papers by Mr. Imanse. (presi-
dent of General Coach in Hensall).
I'm a worker at the General
Coach plant and am sick and tired
of Mr. Imanse complaining about
how we make such big wages.
I never saw a thing about how
much money Mr. Imanse takes
home in a year.
There was never anything in
writing about how much money
the profit-sharing and incentive
clauses would amount to. Mr.
Imanse's idea of incentive is
"blowing the whistle" on fellow
workers. Well "1 don't think so".
Magic Moon
EXETER - Patrons will be
pleased to know that rehearsals are
well .underway for South Huron
Distract High School's production
of "Magic Moon".
Director Glenda Burrell is excit-
ed about this year's production for a
variety of reasons. In the first place,
"Magic Moon" is a humoroto play
written by South Huron'svery own
librarian, Charles Mountford.
Unbenounced to many, ' Mount-
ford has been writing plays for the
past several years. Two of his plays
have been workshopped in Strat-
ford by the Epiphany Theatre and
one of them was later produced by
the Lab Theatre . in -Montgomery,
Alabama.
"Magic Moon" is a perfect choice
for a school production because it
is a high energy show with lots of
humour, dancing and music.
"I like this.kind of school produc-
tion," says Burrell, "because it uti-
lizes the talents of the entire student
body. It has something for every-
one."
"Magic Moon" will be performed
in the small gym at8P.m.onMay
20-23. Tick is will go on sale at the
end of April and will once again be
sold at Greeting Card World and at
the main office of the high school.
"Homey don't
play that game". 01
Mr. Imanse
should have
thought about profit
sharing with the
employees four
years ago, when there was a profit
He shared it with the office staff
and foremen. No, instead he locked
us out for eleven weeks (at Christ-
mas time) because we asked for a
raise that amounted to the cost of
living.
No, we can't compete with our
friends in the U.S.A. We can't buy
chicken for 390 a Ib. or gasoline for
$125 gallon. Next Mr. Imanse will
want us to compete with Mexico -
$2.50 an hour wages.
If we, the workers, who helped
make the profits back in the 80's
are such a bad deal at $11.81 an
hour, then go move to "good ole
USA" Mr. Imanse.
Signed
Ken Duchamie
P.S. Why is it when the farmers
have a couple of bad years, they
have to absorb the losses but com-
panies and corporations have just
one bad year and it's "let's make
the employees take the blow".
Look what the oil companies and
G.M. did.
And the public thinks John Gotti
exploits people!
