Four town- ships have contributed money under the tree planting scheme and five landowners turned over 25 acres of land for reforestation. The plan was implemented at the' beginning of the year and basically involves an agreement between the. landowner, the municipality in which the land lies, the county and the Ministry of Natural Resources. The' minis- try provides the manpower and machinery to plant the trees and the costs are paid by the township and .county. Half the costs are paid by the county and half left to the respon- sibiFrty of the township. The townships can choose whether to pay their half themselves or pay a quarter of the costs, leaving the remainder for the landowner. Marvin Smith, from 'the. Wing - ham office of the Ministry of Nat- ural Resources, reported to council that 21,000 trees had been planted under the scheme and that the county share of the costs was $1,370. He broke the expenses down in detail, showing that the county portion covered half the planting costs, repairs to the planting machinery and the costs of the nursery stock. Total costs for the planting were $2,216. Smith reported that 2,000 trees were planted on a four acre parc- el in Ashfield Township,. 5,000 trees on six acres in Goderich Township, 4,000 trees on five acres in Hullett. Township arid 10,000 on 10 acres in East Wawan- osh. Two types of trees were planted according to the report, which showed that 17,000 white pine trees were used and 4,000 red. The project requires consent- ing landowners to turn over their land for reforestation under a 20 year agreement. Once the owner agrees to have the trees planted the property is protected for reforestation for two decades. The agreement prevents the own- er from harvesting the trees or from cutting them down before they are 'mature. According to Smith after the 20 years have expired the county tree cutting bylaw protects the matured trees from being har- vested. Scouts report a successful drive Only half the usual amount of papers were picked up by the Wingham Boy Scouts Saturday in their paper drive. They filled half a transpot trailer with 91/2 tons of paper but in the past have fill- ed the trailer to capacity. The drive has been termed a success, however, due to the ris- ing price of paper. The Scouts made $250 and would like to thank everyone who did put papers out for them. Thanks also • to Jerry Vandyke of Harkema Transport, Wingham for the useof the transport trail- er.

Health bf>ard employees agree to pay boosts By Jeff Seddon The Huron County Board of Health and employees of the county health unit accepted an 18 - month agreement recently that sets out wage increases for 1977 and 1978. The board reported to county council Friday that the agreement gives employees of the health unit a six per cent in- crease in salary effective July 1, 1977 and four per cent effective January 1, 1978 subject to the approval of the Anti -Inflation Board. Other terms listed in the agree- ment were an increase in the em- ployer's share of the dental plan for employees from half to two- thirds of the cost effective Janu- ary 1, 1978. Mileage rates for em- ployees using their own vehicles for health unit business was set at 21 cents per mile and employees required to work overtime will be paid time and a half or receive the equivalent time and one-half off. Public health inspectors supplied with leased• vehicles who drive the vehicles to and from the alffice are now required to reim- burse the county at the rate of 16 cents per mile. When the present lease for vehicles expires there will be no personal use of the ve- hicles permitted under the new lease. The unit employees also re- ceive pay for Heritage Day or any other day proclaimed by the federal or provincial govern- ments as paid holidays.
