KELLER Huron County's department heads have been granted salary increases for 1978 which range anywhere from 7.5' per cent to 14.4 per cent. The increases were approved at the October session of county council _without any question, county administrator Bill Hanly said this week. For the first time ever, the department heads negotiated their salary adjustments as other county employees. Negotiators for the depart- ment heads were deputy clerk -treasurer Bill Alcock; planning director Gary Davidson; and social services administrator John McKinnon. They met with a special committee chaired by Warden Doug McNeil and comprising the members of the executive committee and the chairmen of all other county committees. According to the printed report of the special committee, decision was reached to allow each department head an increase in salary. of $75 every two weeks or $1,950 per annum. "This increase represents an average increase of 3.8 per cent for this group of employees," the special committee report stated. The following salaries were approved by council: clerk treasurer administrator Bill Hanly, $27;820 representing a 7.5 per cent in- crease-; deputy eclerk-treasurer Bill Alcock, $24,310 or 8.7 per cent; development officer Spence Cummings, $17,836 or 12.2 per cent; planning director Gary Davidson, $25,012 or 8.4 per cent; social services administrator John McKinnon, $18,434 or 11.8 per cent; museum curator Ray Scotchmer, $15,470 or 14.4 per cent; county librarian Bill Partridge, $19,006 or 11.4 per cent; and Huronview administrator Chester rchibald, $21,242 or 10.1 per cent. In a telephone interview this week with Hanly, the administrator said the increases were within the Anti -Inflation -guidelines "as printed." "-Thi_§ is what the guidelines say," said Hanly. "The overall increase of the group is 3.8 per cent. No one has received more than $2,400." Hanly admitted the increases were made possible since a new medical officer of health and a new engineer had been hired, earlier in 1977 at considerably less money than had been paid to ) the former employees, Dr. Frank Mills and Jim Britnell. When he left the county's employ, Dr. Mills was being paid $37,024 per annum.' Dr. Brian Lynch, the new MOH was hired at $32,000 and when he has completed his public health course in Toronto later this year, he will be raised to $36,000 per annum. Jim Britnell, the former county engineer, was receiving $32,578 per annum when he resigned. His successor Bob Dempsey, wqs hired at $25,000 and will receive an increase of $1,500 on January 1,1978. SHARED Hanly agreed that in effect, the money saved on the salaries for the MOH and the county engineer was divided among the department heads, holding the overall increase to the county taxpayers at 3.8 per cent. The increases are, however. subiect'to scrutiny by the AIB and ,it is still - not known whether they will be allowed. By way of explanation, Hanly said that in 1975, county council had approved similar increases for the county department heads for 1976, but the increases were rolled back by the AIB because they din't meet with the criteria set down in the Rodents can spoil gardens in winter "Don't encourage rabbits and mice to use your garden as their winter home," says R.F. Gomme,. Ontario ministry of agriculture and food horticulturist. Serious damage caused by rodents each winter can be prevented by taking precautionary measures now. Mr. Gomme says one of the most important preventative U.I. claimants to work 104-14 weeks As of December 4, 1977,. Unemployment Insurance. claimants will need from 10 to 14 weeks.' insurable ,em- ployment, to be eligible for . benefits. This replaces the fixed eight-week requirement presently in force. This reminder was issued recently by Employment and Immigration Minister Bud Cullen. The exact number of weeks will vary according ' to the unemployment rate in the econon'iic region where claimants ordinarily live. This variable entrance requirement was introduced in the Employment and Immigration Reorganization Act, passed ' by Parliament August 5, 1977. -Mr. Cullen stressed the flexibility of the new system. "Because the entrance requirement varies ac- cording to regional unem- ployment rates, the new requirement will reflect the difficulties claimants have in finding and keeping work," he said. "The entrance requirement will be shortest in areas of high unemployment, and longest where jobs are most plentiful." steps is to make sure your garden is clean. Clear debris, dead leaves and plant tops from around the base of trees, and cut back long grass to make your garden a less desirable home for rodents. He also recommends cultivating the `'soil around trees and shrubs. To discourage rabbits, Mr. Gomme suggests painting trunks and branches with a repellent containing Thiram. "Set wire tree guards of 1/4 - inch mesh around tree trunks to control mice. Make sure the end of the guard is about three inches deep into the soil." For extra protection against mice, mound the end of the guard with crushed stone. Other types of protectors, including spiral plastic guards and aluminum foil, are available at local garden supply, centers. Young fruit trees, lilacs, flowering crab, mountain ash and hawthorn trees are particularly , susceptible to rodent damage. Rodents will also eat some types of shrubs. etting along together is important. Thisiswhat�ntario isdoingtoheip develop understands between people.

This, year, Hanly maintained, the increases do fit the terms of the guidelines. Hanly expressed some surprise that county council members did not question the matter fully at the October session when the special committee report was presented. It passed in about three minutes, he said. Reporters at the October seslsion of county di council were "out" when the report was presented, said Hanly. The report was not in the reporters' folders as is the general case and Hanly could offer no r ason for the omission, "I was surprised when there was nothing in the papers about the increases," said Hanly. "If the report wasn't in the folders on the press table, that's probably why the story was missed." Hanly said the report was not intentionally left out of the press folders'and -added it should have been included with all the rest. COUNCIL'S RAISE Also in the report, was a recommendation for a salary increase for council members which was '.approved. The per diem rate for committee and session pay was increased four per cent from $46 to $48 per day, and from $28.50 to $30 per half• day, effective January 1, 1978. The warden's honorarium was also increased by four per cent to $2,750 for 1978 from $2,650 in 1977. Mileage allowances were increased as well effective January 1, 1978, from 16 cents per mile to 10.5 cents per kilometer for those receiving the car allowance of $60 per month; and from 21 cents per mile to 13.5 cents per kilometer for casual mileage. County department heads were limited to one out -of -the -province conference per year. The approval of the committee or board concerned must be obtained and the trip will be permitted only if funds are available in the budget. • OUR BEAUTIFUL (;1I ,T Raintrc'c' is the most ,i,Ji./tc'c1,C'Ilr•iat/ilcls town with collections., S'c'lc'c bell/.
