The county's executive committee brought in a recommendation at council's Nov. 28 meeting to set the department headsrsalaries for the next three years. County councillors argued against both the high percentage increases and the fact they would be imposing these salary in- creases on the incoming council. There was some question whether the council ould ap- protte these salaries because it Involves money to be paid;.by.another +council. Usual - these require. Ontario Municipal Board appproval. However,,. Warden Paul Stele,' after stepping do uri from` the warden's chair to enable him to participate.m debate, said a legal opinion had been sought He said -the legal opinion stated it is okay for county council to provide these salary increases. '"We don't have that lame duck period as do local councils," said county ad- minittrator Bill Hanly. The warden said the salary figures reach- ed will cover the next three years. In negotiations, the executive committee tried to adjust salaries to the average salaries of the departing* heads' peersin surrounding counties: The warden added thatthe depart- ment, parison heaadsrs ttlsalaeyearriess, have fallen in com Paste warden Tom Cunningham said he recognized the problem, having been on the negotiating committee last year. These committees are made up by the warden, county administrator and the various com- mittee chairmen. However, he doesn't think this council should be imposing "increases on the new council. "I don't want incoming reeves to say we made a stupid mistake," said Hallen Reeve Cunningham who will be returning to Coun- cil. He did say, however, that some of the in- creases are merited. Not everyone agreed. Thlls is not fair to ratepayers - farmers," said Hay Deputy Reeve Tony Bedard asking from where the money for the increases would come. Turnberry Reeve Brian McBurney said he has nothing against noting they are "good people". "I don't think the time is right for these in- creases... people in the county can't afford it," said Reeve McBurney. GARB & GEAR'S CHRISTMAS FOR GREAT FIT! TOP QUALITY! TOTAL SELECTION!

Travel Show raises $1,600 For the past four years, Harbour Light Travel's Night in the Tropics: Travel Show Nnd Dance has taken the chill out of cold ovember evenings and given patrons a tantalizing glimpse of life in the sun. But while brochures lured potential holidayers with pictures of languid scenes by the beachside, the show, more important- ly, has also raised significant amounts for the Goderich and District Association for the Mentally Retarded. Last week, Harbour Light Travel owner Judy Crawford presented the association with the proceeds of the fourth annual show, raising the total given to the group to $1,600. And while the show has been successful in generating funds for the association, restrictions may. have forced the agency to sever its ties. "The first show was in 1982 and we put it on for advertising purposes and it did generate some business the first few years," Crawford said. "We really had to think about putting it on this year. It's a big job for an office of five people. It was the first show of its kind in Goderich and it was more of a social event, unique.It's a good fund raiser but we will have to pass it on to a group or association willing to do the work." The association would not have benefitted from the show without the generosity of merchants who donated prizes each year. This year's. final door prize, a suede coat donated by the travel agency, was won by Clare Rodgers. While Crawford may not put on the show herself, she is quite willing to lend her help and expertise to any group consenting to take on the project. As for her involvement with the project over the last four years, Crawford is pleased that the association was able to benefit. "It's a worthwhile cause and we were pro - 'T ud to do it." �HO 1 SALES & SERVICE of fit an:: a 'who a lot more.r.for a lot less' 4 THE SQUARE, GODERICH ph: 524-2822 County apposes farm moratorium By Stephanie Levesque Huron County council doesn't agree with the county federation of agriculture impos- ing a moratorium on farm foreclosures but will ask for "immediate action" from the federal minister of agriculture. At its Nov. 28 special meeting, county council agreed to send a letter to John Wise, the federal agriculture minister. The Huron County federation of agriculture passed a resolution at its annual meeting in October stating it would impose a moratorium of its own on farm foreclosures. County council doesn't suggest what kind of immediate action be taken to solve the problems in the agriculture industry today. Copies of the letter will be sent to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, Premier David Peterson, provincial agriculture minister Jack Riddell, MP Murray Cardiff and MPP Murray Elston.
