Social services budget dips slighty
Huron County Council got some good
news from Social Services administrator
• J.A. McKinnon last Thursday. Mr.
McKinnon reported that his department
had estimated expenditures for 1976 at
$378,200 but only spent $341,804 when the
final accounts were balanced.
At the beginning of 1976 it was an-
nounced that the Ministry of Community
and Social Services would be allowing
Social Services expenditures to increase
by only 5.5 percent over the previous
year's expenditures, he.told council.
"Many Social Services ad-
ministrations foresaw probletns in
limiting their budgets to this increase
and felt that with the demand on their
services they would not be able to
operate within these constraints,"
McKinnon observed.
He pointed out that along with this
budget restriction the Ministry issued
changes in the legislation indicating that
unemployed persons to receive
assistance had to be willing to undertake
any full time, part time or casual em-
ployment whereas previously he had
only been willing to accept full time
work .for which he was trained or
capable of.
Dirty books out
Huron County Council joined the
County Board of Education in, support of
a . program to have each member of
Council ask his or her municipal council
to request vendors of what the resolution
termed "objectionable reading
material".to place such books out of the
reach of children.
In a letter to Council the Board of
Education expressed concern over the
"increasingly widespread distribution
of objectional reading material":
"This condition was also extended to
include employable spouses and older
dependent children. Previously an
employable spouse was not obliged to
seek employment only the head of the
family," the director explained.
Assistance to employable persons
under the age of 18 living 'away frQ,m
home was made discretionary rather
than mandatory, McKinnon told the
meeting.
"Previously a person under 18 years of
age could apply for and receive
assistance while living away from the
parental home. This change made
assistance discretionary and persons in
this category would only receive
assistance if their parents indicated that

Huron County Council learned through
a report from the Committee of
Management of Huronview last Thur-
sday that notice has been received from
the Ministry that effective February 1,
1977 the daily extended care rate co-
payments had changed.
The rate itself, the report noted,
remains at $21.00 per day but the
resident share; or co -payment, has been
increased by 20. cents to17.60 per day,
thus reducing the insured portion to.

Phillips back to Cochrane.
The move returns both men
to areas they once worked in.
Smith was a supervisory
principal when Goderich had
three elementary schools and
moved to Robertson as
principal when the super-
visory job was eliminated
with the closing of Victor
Lauriston School. He has
been a superintendent for five
years.
Phillips was vice-principal
of CRSS for four years before
moving to principal of F.E.
Madill in Wingham when
Frank Madill became
superintendent of education.
Phillips came to the board
office two years ago as
assistant to Cochrane.

move would do to the wages
of the two men. He said Smith
now earns about $39,000 and
Phillips about $33,000. Smith
would be guaranteed his
present wage for another
year before being adjusted to
an elementary school prin-
cipal's wage, about $29,000.
Phillips now makes the
same as a secondary school
principal. He said Smith
would receive whatever a
superintendent received as a
result of this year's
negotiations and in Sep-
tember of 1978 would be paid
an elementary school prin-
cipal's wage.
"The real saving isn't going
to be in wages," said
Cochrane. "It's the $60,000
the board saves by not having
to appoint two new prin-
cipals."
