County 'Council Sets Up Schedule Of Pay Rates. for Huron Employees A jumbled situation of many Wednesday, when Huron County years' standing was tidied up Council 'approved a modified sal- ary schedule that will apply uni- formly to all departments of the county government. The county salary schedule, which establishes a known 'base for salary arrange- ments and puts an end to the hit - and -mss methods that have been used to set salaries, is the work of a coananittee headed by Reeve Ar- thur Gibson, Howick Township. The new salary schedule came. before the 1960 county council, as a report from the'1959 finance committee, of which Reeve Gib- son was chairman. Other memb- ers of the committee were Harvey McMichael deputy -reeve of How ick; George Hutchinson, 1959 reeve of Grey; Ralph Jewell, reeve of Colborne; Edward Gill, deputy- reeve of Stephen. The committee held a number of lengthy sessions in 1959, to study the salary -scale situation as it stood after many years of Apiece -meal adjustments. The results of their studies were organized at the end of the year, and the uniform county salary, scale proposals were brought be- fore the 1960 council., at the cur- rent January session. With the intention of cutting down the problem of annual dis- cussions 'or wrangles over salary increases, the new Huron County schedule sets out a rate of an- nual nnual increase for most salaried positions. For ' clerk -stenograph- ers, the minimum is $2,000, and the annual increase $100, to a maximum of $2,800. For bookkeep- per-stenographers, the minimum is $2,800 and •the annual increase $100 to a maximum of $3,600. For turnkeys in the county jail, the minimum is $2,600, the annual in- crease $100, and the maximum $3,400.

M. Aldis, director of the Huron County Health Unit, in his sessional report, Thursday, to Huron County council. Polio did invade Duron in 1959, he noted, and younger adults, in the age range from 20 to 45, seem- ed to be the people in greatest danger from the minor epidemic that spread across Ontario last year. The outbreak of polio, he noted, began in the Montreal area, and spread westward, with three cases occurring in Huron, on the western edge of the area that was affected. About 5,000 received polio shots in the HCHU clinics conducted in 1959, said Dr. Aldis, but there may be as many more in the young - adult classification who still do not have the protection of the vaccine. The rabies scare died down in Huron during 1959, Dr. Aldis said, although at the end of the year there was a flurry of concern a- bout bout barn cats, with several re- ports in the county of farmers be- 0 OBITUARY Samuel. Swayze A native of Zurich, Samuel J. Swayze, died suddenly at his home in Regina, Saskatchewan, from a heart attack, as he prepared to go to church on Sunday morning. He was 75 years old. Born in Zurich, he attended public school in Blake. When 16 years old he went to the village of Dashwood and he served his ap- prenticeship in the tinsmith and plumbing business at Hensall. Mr. Swayze went west in the spring of 1910 to Vonda and mov- ed the next year to Regina. He and E. P. Paulin formed a plumb- ing and heating engineers partner- ship, Paulin and Swayze. The business later 'became Mr. Swayze's own. At his death he was president of Sam Swayze and Son, Ltd., plumbers, steamfitters and sheet metal workers, with premises at 1744 Broad Street. His son, Allan, who survives, is vice- president. He possessed an excellent bass voice and since going to Regina in 1911 had lent his talents to a var- iety of community musical activit- ies. Friends remember that he used to lead The Leader -Post sing -songs on Sunday in Waseana park and at the exhibition grandstand. Hi, also was called upon to lead grout:, singing and to act as soloist for meetings of the Chamber of Commerce and various service clubs. He ,appeared frequently as a singer at conventions in the city. He had been a member of Knox - Metropolitan United Church choir for 46 years and during one period was bass soloist with the choir. Mr. Swayze studied voice under F. G. Killrnaster, former head of the Regina College Conservatory of Music, and Dan A. Cameron. He was often a. participant in Saskatchewan music festivals. Mr. Swayze had numerous club connections, and held memberships in the Kiwanis Club, the NWMP Masonic Lodge, the IOOF Lodge and Canadian Order of Foresters.

One of the major effarts of 1960 in Huron, said Dr. Aldis, will be a mass chest X-ray campaign, to reinforce precautions against tuberculosis. The Junior Farmer organization in the county, he said, is taking on a big share of the work of organizing the X-ray survey. Elgin McKinley, Zurich, who is in charge of Christmas Seal work in Huron, has already started to explain plans to the Junior Farmer clubs. The fear that existed in January a year ago, that nursing homes might be overcrowded by patients who could not be kept in hospitals under the new hospital insurance plan, have not been realized, Dr, Aldis noted, The number of cases in nursing homes in Huron in Jan- uary, anuary, 1960, he said, is about the same as a year ago. "It would appear," he said, "that the Hospital Services Com- mission has eased its regulations, even if they don't admit they have." Have You Renewed Your Subscription?
