Raymond Schmidt and Harris Campbell of Blue-' vale, attended the meeting to discuss a drain which was proposed earlier for the Bluevale Centre Sideroad. They explained that not. • rts enough people agreed to sign a petition for a. drain and wondered if two culverts could be installed instead to take away spring run-off. The council decided to look into the matter. '• Morris advanced the town- ship's 125th anniversary committee $2,500 for initial operating costs, and the Blyth Centre for the Arts was granted $150. Some Christmas trees, situated at the township waste disposal site, will be up for sale beginning Dec. 6. Apparently the clearing of the trees' is necessary as the site expands.

Sept, 1, 1980, and an ad- ditional one per cent next January. This amounts to an annual increase of slightly over five per cent. The teachers, however, are seeking a pay increase of 15 per Cent in the one-year agreement. Mr. Stockton admitted the teachers have some cat- ching -up to do in relation to salaries paid by similar and. neighboring boards, but suggested it should not allhe done at once. His recon mendation is a compromise increase of 10:5 percent. That increaseis recom Mended on a split grid, the second : component of. which would give an increase of 10:5' per cent On an annual \' contract he .recommended, an increase of about 8.5 per cent, which also would apply to. principals . and vice • principals.

Clare Van teach nor more than six of eight periods per day. The teachers want that made a mandatory position instead of the current wording that requires 'a "reasonable •ef- fort". The board has argued that if such a provision were mandatory, the provision would increse the number of staff by five at a cost of $7,000 or, alternatively, eliminate some courses. Mr. Stockton said strict adherence to the provision would require hiringatlditional teachers and was an unreasonable demand. Hesaithe nature of the Huron County system is such that some infringement, of the guidelines is unavoidable. The parties have agreed to introduce a staffing formula used last year and move away from the straight pupil -teacher ratioproach. Mr. Stockton saidthe board should 'maintain some controlover the pupilteacher ratio from year to 8!!9r0'e, MRS.

The request since hasbeen reduced'. to 15 per cent excluding'"increment, or 16.8 per cent including .in-crement.
