McInnis, widow of Donald McInnis, builder, of the designated Heritage Property located at 302 Cen- tre Street, apparently in 1901.

The building features a triple composite gable window, sculpture - shingled gables,,an ornately pillared, bracketed and pedimented corner verandah, an occulus window and original window pediments and siding. This house is one of the best surviving examples, of the period, of a dwelling of modest dimensions.

Eunice and Wilbert Hewitt and family Up to 27% ver three years Cou n ro The Wingham Advance Times, Dec. 11, 1985—Page9 ty council def se sala Huron County Council has deferred action on a recom mendation which would see the salaries of its depart ment heads increase by up t0 27 per, cent over the nex three years. The proposal, brought to council by its executive committee during a special meeting Nov. 28, has been passed on to the new council, which takes office this month. Most members of council were reluctant to make a decision on the issue at what was to be the final meeting of the old council, despite assurances that they had the legal authority to do so. Several also expressed mis- givings about the size of the proposed increases. ' The proposal recommends that council negotiate a three-year agreement with department heads — corresponding to the term of council — with the suggested increases averaged over that period. It also includes a four per cent cost of living allowance for 1986. The 1988 salary figures proposed for each depart- ment head are as follows (with current salary in brackets) : Medical officer of health, $70,694 ($57,512); Huronview administrator, $47,892 ($37,544); social services administrator, $40,820 ($32,578); clerk -treasurer and administrator, $61,542 ($51,974); deputy clerk - treasurer, -$53,430 ($44,460); County engineer, $57,642 ($48,074) ; planning director, $55,244 ($45,188); county librarian $40,950 ($34,866); museum director, $38,298 ($34,060). The increases were strongly supported by retiring Warden Paul Mrs. J. H. Crawford dies ' after long illness Following , a lengthy ill- ness, Mrs. J. Harley Craw- ford of 71 Alfred ,St., Wing - ham, passed away in Wing - ham on Friday, December 6. She was 78 years of age, born April 21, 1907. Mrs. Crawford was the former • Mary Bernice Brown, a daughter of the late Dr. John J. Brown and the former. Bernice Ludington. She was born in Woodstock. She graduated from the Toronto General. Hospital School of Nursing in 1930 and worked as a Registered Nurse. In 1931 she married Mr. Crawford and they came to Wingham where she assumed the responsibilities of housewife and mother in her new role. She was a member of the Wingham United Church and belonged to many community and service organizations as long Left to mourn her passing are her husband, J. Harley Crawfo'rd;'Q.C.; one son, Rev. John Crawford, and his wife Margaret of Evans- , burg, Alberta; three daugh- ters, Mrs. J.R. (Mary) Lloyd. of Thornhill, Mrs. David (Carol) Blair of London and Mrs. Peter (Sally) Wood- cock, Toronto;. and nine grandchildren. Also surviv- ing : are one sister, Mrs. James (Guinivere) Fergus- on of Welland, and one brother, Dr, Tracy Brown of Abbotsford,. B.C. Friends paid their respects at The. McBurney Funeral Home, Wingham; until Monday at 11 o'clock when complete funeral and committal service was conducted by Rev. J. Rea Grant. Mrs. Crawford's final 7 3330 WINGHAM, resting place will be oNT. Steckle, who stepped down from the chair in order to speak on the proposal. He said council should grant the pay increases in a spirit of fairness, in order to bring the department heads up to the average received by their counterparts in other counties. ' The proposal resulted from .negotiation with the department heads, he said, and council need not worry that it would be setting a precedent for its unionized employees, since their wages "have kept pretty 'well in line." He also said the executive committee had looked into the legality of an outgoing council setting wages "and we know that we can do it." However past warden Tom Cunningham was the first of many councillors to suggest this matter would be better left to the incoming council. Zurich Reeve Bob .Fisher suggested that instead of rs acti•»» increases following the lead of other counties, Huron County should be the first to "hold our own and have them stay as they are. "Hopefully we won't lose any department heads," he said, but if they are able to go elsewhere and snake more money, more power to them." Tony Bedard deputy reeve of Hay Township, also urged that any increases should be pegged to the cost of living, noting that the department heads are already being paid "a very good wage". Turnberry Reeve Brian McBurney said the(timing of the proposal is not right. "I think they (department heads) are good people — but they should be good people for the money they're getting. "If this is passed," he added, "I can see every employee in the county coming to us wanting a six to nine per cent increase." Hay Reeve Lionel Wilder was successful in his motion to table the controversial issue until the December meeting, noting it would give the , new councillors "a way of getting experienced right away". Hydro to take over foundry from PUC The Wingham Public Utilities Commission has granted a request from Mrs. Elmer Harding opens UCW meeting FORDWICH -- The Christmas meeting of the United Church Women was held recent'l'y in the church parlor, which was decorated with a beautiful Christmas tree as the focal point. Mrs. Elmer Harding opened the meeting with a Christmas poem, "Wishes for Christmas". The minutes were read by Minnie McElwain in the absence of the secretary. The ladies were reminded of the UCW meeting in Exeter on Jan. 27. It was announced that Sharon and Shelly Lockie will attend the Toc-Alpha conference as Church delegates. Mrs. Cecil Wilson read a _ letter from Don and Ina Kaffar of Brazil, who are home on furlough. Mrs. William Wilson and Mrs. Carl D'Arcey had charge of the worship. It opened with the singing of "0 Little Town of Bethlehem", followed by the reading of the Christmas story in the scripture. The meditation was about an immigrant who had Christmas with a Canadian family. This person learned the true meaning of Christmas. A reading on Christmas the whole year through was followed by a song, "Gentle Mary". A reading and the singing of "Silent Night" followed and the reading of a poem, "Christmas Gifts". The meeting closed with a pra(er. Tea and mulled cider, together with Christmas cake and cookies, were served by Mrs. George Pittendreigh and Mrs. Dave Lockie. Western Foundry in Wing - ham to have its power supplied directly by Ontario Hydro. The decision was made at last Thursday evening's regular PUC meeting, following a special, closed meeting held late last month with Foundry President R. W. LeVan and Tom McConkey of Ontario Hydro. PUC Manager Ken Saxton explained that the foundry can purchase power from Ontario Hydro at a "large - user Pate" more cheaply than buying power from the PUC. All PUC members were in favor of the move, saying it will make no difference at all to the commission's remain- ing customers. Mr. Saxton said the PUC did not make any measur- able amount off profit on the foundry account. "If it's going to help the foundry, it's going to help the community," reasoned PUC Chairman Roy Bennett. The commission gave its. approval for Ontario Hydro to assume the foundry as a direct large -user customer at the earliest possible date. 7 DAY CARIBBEAN CRUISE on board the M/S CARLA COSTA FEBRUARY 8th - 15th/86 --n For more details call: ili.,„,er_or.`".-- =NZ &MR.7 LTD. r Visit these exciting ports of call: San Juan Grenada Curacao Martinique Caracas St. Thomas trp *go 11001, i ��n�nI�1%►� 1n1�/ia1�/n1�/i.,1t ,. :tiz-/.�1�/n1%1� From 1 p g g oo double Per person Wingham Cemetery. as her health permitted DEATHS PAISLEY—Passed away on November 20 in Victoria, B.C., at Glengarry Hospital, Mrs. Bessie B.
