The youngsters were just part of a fashion show staged last week by the Clinton Kinettes. (James Fitzgerald photo) stuck in the middle The honeymoon is over. Now it's cooking mixed vegetables, fighting for blankets, ironing dress shirts, interior decorating with a prized beer can collection - and finding out what marriage is all about. I try to be tough, sarcastic and liberated about the whole thing, but to tell you the truth, it'sjust great to have a roommate, and so far, marriage is a great institution for the McPhee-Haist Corporation. Where to store Gary's Sport Illustrated magazines, and the wedding day are still, the main topics of con- versation around the new Clinton household. The magazine talk is brief and to -the -point in the new bride's mind, "To the basement they go!" she always answers. But the wedding, now that was a very special day that will always hold a very special place in our hearts. With dearest friends, family and neighbors we celebrated in grand style, with a tearful but beautiful ceremony, a joyful ride around %The Square in a horse- drawn surrey, an elegant dinner and fabulous evening of dancing. Gary and I were Prince and Princess for the day. With the groom in his dashing grey tuxedo and the bride gowned in layers of chiffon and lace, handsome ushers , and beautiful - brunette bridesmaids, we all looked very elegant, and thoroughly enjoyed the limelight and applause. Valuable friendships have always been the most important part of our lives. We're a mushy pair,, but good friends really make life worth living, and we were simply thrilled to have all our favorite people gathered together to celebrate one of the most important moments in our lives. There were no shattered nerves, shaking knees or upset stomachs on October 3rd. We only - felt complete happiness and joy, from the moment the organ pipes sounded out the majestic processional, through the life- long vows we made to each other, to the romantic last dance of the evening. So many people made our wedding day a very beautiful one. The en- couragement and love from our parents was overwhelming. The support and dedication of a sensitive man and wonderful minister made our marriage ceremony a beautiful and unique one. Many, many old and dear friends, family and good neighbors all helped to make our joy more complete. It was, without a doubt, the best day of our lives. Feelings and memories of October, 3, 1981 are bigger than words can ever express, but the generosity, the love, the peace and the calm of that very special day will never be forgotten. {] tot ENE SHOP THE TRIANGLE DISCOUNT IN YOUR TOWN FOR PRICES THAT WON'T SCARE YOU TO DEATH.

Under the • terms of the new agreement, 605 unionized employees will receive a six per cent general increase in both years of the contract and a cost of living allowance remainsin effect. The con- tract, which affects 95 salaried and 510 hourly em- ployees, also • contained provisions for improved benefits and contract language. 1. The two-year contract will boost the average wage for hourly employees to $12.05 per hour in the first Year of the agreement. The grader manufacturing company has a total work force of 767 employees in Goderich. The office staff has been without a contract since June of this year while the contract for hourly em- ployees expired in August. The union and company failed to come to terms in initial bargaining sessions as the union refused to accept the original company offer which lain Bain, Corporate Vice -President Employee Relations, said offered no general in- creases bit contained "a richer COLA (Cost of Living Allowance) formula." The union had applied for conciliation to the Ministry of Labor and Trevor Stephenson was sub- sequently appointed to mediate the contract dispute. Following one session with Stephenson, the company made a contract offer that was ratified by the union membership Friday. Union President, Gord Hulley, said that ap- proximately 373 employees voted on the contract offer and 85 per cent were in favor of accepting the two-year deal. "The vote proves they were satisfied," he said. Bain was also satisfied with the result of the union vote claiming the contract was one the company could live with. "I am pleased. It took a while to get there," he said. "With the COLA clause the contract recognizes infla- tion and it is also a, contract that will protect the future of the business." The cost of living clause offers employees a one cent per hour raise for every one-third of a point in- crease, in the Consumer Price Lidex. The elayt; not kick in however, until the CFI has 40m" per cent from July's figure. There is no ceilingq nthe cost of living allowance clause. Other benefits ;include increas in the paid life insurance plan, the pension plan 15 increased by $15 per month per year of service and the dental plan will reflect the current schedule of rates at no cost to the employee. The hfe insurance is paid by the company, but for the first time, employees can purchase the same amount of insurance at group rates. The company has also introduced long-term disability insurance that augments piiesentcornpanypolicy. The new plan will kick in after one yearand offers an employee 50 per cent of his or her salary •until age 65 or until the employee is working again, Bain said that benefit is uncommon in industry. While the conciliation process was not instrumental in the contract, it marked the first time in recent history that the wilon had applied to the Ministry of Labor. County council unveils long range road plans A 1981 long range plan submitted by the road committee was approved by Huron County Council at its September session. In a report submitted to the road com- mittee by the county engineer R.A. Demp- sey it states the development of a long range plan is definitely a necessity. "As the time required to purchase pro- perty, relocate hydro and telephone lines increases, as well as complete surveying, drafting and obtaining the necessary ap- provals from the different government agencies we must start our plans for our construction projects two or more years in advance of the work commencing," said Mr. Dempsey's report. Under road construction, the long range plans , include: County Road 171/2 miles west of Winthrop to the Perth Boundary, County Road 3, Brucefield to Egmondville, County Road 30, Highway 87 to Road 7, County Road 12 in Brussels, County Road 16 in Brussels, County Road 22 Highway 86 to Road 20, County Road 22 from Road 20 to Auburn, County Road 31 from Highway 8 • to Benmiller, County Road 14 from Road 17 to Road 25, County Road 17 from Road 15 to Road 12, County Road 7 from Highway 4 to Road 12, and County Road 18 from Holmesville to Highway 21. In the long range plan under resurfac- ing, it includes: County, Road 20 from Highway 4 for two kilometres, County Road 32 from Road 12 to the Perth Boun- dary, County Road 13 from Clinton to Highway 21, County Road 30, from Highway 87 to Mayne Corner, County Road 29 from Road 12 to Wroxeter, County Road 31 from Road 13 to Highway 8, County Road 12 from Egmondville south, County Road 37 from Highway 21 to Airport, Coun- ty Road 8 from Summerhill to Auburn, County Road 31 from Hillsgreen to Varna, County Road 28 from Road 34 to Gorrie, County Road 3 from Brucefield to Bayfield, County Road 1 from Highway 8 to Benmiller and County Road 19 from Road 6 to Ethel. Three bridges are included in the long range plan and are, Forester's Bridge on County Road 31, Ball's Bridge ° on a township road in Colborne and Hullett, and a bridge on a township road in Hullett and McKillop. "We recommend to the road committee and to county council that they adopt this long range plan as a priority list for the projects to be reconstructed," said Mr. Dempsey's report. In other business, council did not ap- prove a grant as requested by Alexandra Marine and General Hospital, Goderich for a proposed expansion of the intensive care unit. The grant was not approved because it is against county policy to give a grant if there is no provincial funding.
