Hydro customers
may pay More
Hydro customers in the town of Goderich may have
to pay 5.8 per cent more for power in 1983 Ontario
Hydro approves a rate proposal prep by the
Public Utilities Commission Wednesday.
The Goderich PUC found It necessary to raise rates
after Ontario Hydro announced it would increase Its
charge for supplying power to the municiRal service
by 8.2 per cent in the next year.
If Ontario Hydro approves the increased municipal
rates, It would raise the average residential con-
sumer's monthly rate to $35.75 from $33.75, based on
an average of 750 KWH. Approval is expected within
a few weeks.
The commission has approved an operating budget
of $3,601,235 for 1983, which includes an estimated
$3,210,235 for the cost of buying power from Ontario
Hydro. The commission also approved a capital
budget off $115,600 for 1983.
The PUC's capital budget has ranged from $142,000
to $161,000 but the 1983 budget is considerably Bower
because no major projects are anticipated.
Obscene phone
caller caught
A 14 -year-old male juvenile from Goderich has
been charged under the Juvenile Deliquents Act with
making obscene phone calls.
The calls were made over a period of two weeks to
the same young woman in Goderich. Police were able
to trace the calls and then make the arrest, Chief Pat
King says his department has been successful in past
years tracing such calls also. He would urge anyone
receiving obscene phone calls, to contact police
immediately.
Approves leave plan
The Huron -Perth Separate. School Board approved
a teacher funded leave plan at its Oct. 25 meeting.
The plan is to be implemented Jan. 1, 1983 and a
teacher has to have worked for the board for five
years before they may qualify to enter the plan.
Many school boards across the province have such
a plan. For the Huron -Perth teachers, it means once
they apply and board approval is given, 20 percent of
their annual salary is kept in a specific fund for four
years. In the fifth year; which is the year they have
off from teaching, they receive 80 percent of their
salary.
The Huron -Perth Unit of the Ontario English
Catholic Teachers' Association had requested the
plan.
The board approved the plan by an 11 to 1
unrecorded vote.
Trustee Ray Van Vliet said there is no cost to the
board for the plan.
Drea urged...
• from page 1
Tim Frawley, chief steward of Local 122 of the
Ontario Public Service Workers Union, debated
several points in the ministry's five-year plan and
suggested that the staff's perceptions of the
ministry's concerns are clouded by the human
aspects of the impact of the plan.
"We find, thetas direct. service providers to our
residents, we . cannot separate their needs as in-
dividuals from the larger economics of the plan. For
this we do not apologize," he said. "Honorable in-
tentions do not i automatically produce honorable
results. We have an obligation to provide the best
available service to our residents."
Frawley, on behalf of the union, suggested the
ministry could test the plan by closing one facility
and evaluating the effectiveness of the plan.
While the hundreds in attendance at the meeting
left with no assurances the centre would be saved,
they left with the firm resolve to fight Drea on the
closure.

Bill
must pass
says OFA
The Canagrex bill must be
passed in this session o
Parliament, Ralph Barrie
president of the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture
(OFA) said from his farm u
Perth this week.
"Our agricultural industry
desperately needs a corpora
tion like Canagrex. It woul(
be criminal to delay putting
it in place because of Pett!
politicking," Barrie said.
The Canagrex bill pro
poses to set up a crown cor
poration to expedite and pro
mote exports of Canadiai
agricultural and food pro
ducts. Passage of the bill ha
been delayed at the commit
tee stage. Several member
of the House of Common:
Agricultural Committee ar+
concerned about what the;
call Canagrex's extensive
powers.
Barrie stressed that .thi...
powers which would b
granted to Canagrex an

groups,.. which :norma11;---
wouldn't be able to crack ex
port markets.
"Canagrex is absolute);
essential if we are to fill th'
gaping void between ou
potential to produce and
manufacture agriculture
products for export, and ou
present performance," Bat
rie said.
OFA's position is that th
Canagrex bill must be pase
ed this session so the wor
required to set it up ca
begin immediately.
