WRITE A LETTER TO THE EDITOR .Letts s must be signed .Should be 250 words or Tess .Can be written on any subject .Must not be slanderous or defamatory Siumm, swim Separate trus.tees' Member of the Huron,Perth Roman Catholic Separate Sc i Board voted in favor of increas- ing the honorarium paid to truss tees to $150 per month effective January 1, 1975. ' The 12 -man board rejected an arnmendment to increase the honorarium by 100 per cent to $200 by a .vote of 9 to 3 and ap- proved the 50 per cent increase by the same vote. Goderich trustee Vince Young introduced the motion to increase board salaries to 5200 informing the board that the legislation re- garding pay hikes had not changed since 1969 and was not liekly to change again in the next six to seven years. "We are working for about 52 and hour on our present honor- arium", Mr. Young said. "Most people don't realize the time a trustee puts in on the job and we are worth a couple,, of hundred dollars anyway." One board member stated that since the school board's term is only two months old and they were elected to serve at the rate that was offered at that time that perhaps the increase should not come until September of 1975. Mr. Young added that since other boards such as Huron and Strat- ford had received raises to $300 per month the Huron -Perth board was actually classifying itself as second-class executives with the small increase. The board also raised the mile- age expenses for trustees to 16 cents per mile effective January 1, 1975. Previously board mem- bers received .10 cents per mile while travelling on board busi- ness and a motion to increase that figure to 18 cents was de- feated. Now the mileage to be paid to trustees will be 16 cents per mile travelled on board business whether or not they are travelling in . their own vehicle. A vote to delete the clause that stated whether or not they are travelling in their own vehicle was tied and director John Vintar voted to leave the clause as it stood, Members argued that the clause be deleted, claiming that a trustee who did not, for example, drive to a meeting should not be paid mileage expenses. However Mr. Vintar pointed out to the board that in essence a board member was entitled to the mile- s e g pe�nse egargle of t}Qw h� O n btt the m ��ssf�' e i�tn.

Members argued personnel. the board should be responsible for the hiring of all educational per. sonnet. The discussion Was sparkedby an advertisement for a part-tle teacher for a Goderich school in which the applicant was to reply to the principal. The trustees were assured that the board bas final approval but often act on the advice of a principal, It did not mean that the board did not have control over the hiring of educa- tional personnel. In a voice reminiscent of her idol Tammy Wynette, Dianne Scott of Belgrave entertained the audience at the Lions' Talent Hunt Thursday with her vocal and guitar rendi- tions of "Ashes of Love" and "Please Release Me".
