S 'oi increases Fir South Huron High School Teachers Are Set Up for Next Terris Salary increases at SHDHS will be confined to the annual incre- ment of $300 for 1961-62, follow- ing the trend set by most boards throughout the province. No change has been made in the minimum levels of the salary schedule, which in the past has giv- en the staff increases of up to $700 in one year. However, the maximum levels have been raised, allowing some members to receive the $300 incre- ment to which they would not have been entitled under last year's ceil- ings. The increases in maxima are: Group 1, from $7,500 to $7,600; Group 2, from $8,000 to $8,400; Group 3, from $8,400 to $8,900; Group 4, $8,800 to $9,200. Starting salaries remain at $4,400, $4,800, $5,200 and $5,500. Department Heads For the first time, extra pay- ments will be paid to heads of de- partments who will he officially recognized during the next term, even though some have been acting in the 'capacity in recent years. Under the current recommen- dation, which may change before the beginning of the new term, four acting heads will receive $150 for their incresed duties. The arrange- ment has been established for one year only. The four heads will be Mrs. . M, Farrow, English; M. C. Sanders, history; Andrew Dixon, science; Cecil Wilson, French, Principal H. L. Sturgis will re- ceive his annual increment of $500. Total cost of increases for the 1961-62 school year will be about $9,000, not including the salary of an additional teacher. However, only two-fifths of this increase will reflect in the 1961 school budget. One Exta Teacher The principal estimated he would need one extra teacher for the coming term, to teach social science, French and music in grade 9. This will bring the staff to 27 and allow the principal to spend al- most all his tune on administration, which the inspector has recom- mended for several years. Proposed adjustments in class- rooms next year include the estab- lishment of a typing room in the present sewing room. New book- keeping desks will be provided in the former typing room which will become the permanent home for the special commercial course.

Previously the council had made plans for the erection of a new building on the Blind Line, east of Zurich, beside their truck and tele- phone sher. When they began in- vestigating the cost of a new build- ing, they came up with the fact that it would be much cheaper to buy a building and remodel it.

Last Wednesday night in Hensall the locals came out on top with a 4-3 victory in the first game of the series. On Friday night. In the Ayr Arena. the boys lost a toughie, when they went down to defeat Ire a 5-4 score after having a 3-0 lead at one stage of the game. Playing back in Ayr on Monday night, the locals were again edged out 4-3 by the plucky Pattsville crew. PLATTSVILLE 5 ZURICH 4 Zurich went two goals up in the first period, when Paul Weiclo and Larry Bedard each countered once. In the second period, Earl Wagner shot the locals into a 3-0 lead, when he scored on a beautiful passing play from Larry Bedard. A couple of cheap penalties call- ed against Zurich were disastrous late in the second period, when Plattsville scored three goals in a little over four minutes. In the third period, Plattsville scored first to go one un, but Zur- ich came right back with the Pntral- izer, scored by Wayne Willert. Then at the four minute mark. R. Becker scored the goal far Platts- ville which gave them the victory. During the remainder of the per- iod. the Zurich crew did everything but carry the puck into the Platts- ville net, but were not able to score the goal they needed. A total of 11 penalties were han- ded out in the game, with Zurich receiving six of them. PLATTSVILLE 4 ZURICH 3 Playing back in Ayr for the third game of the series on Monday night, the locals were behind throughout the entire game. Plattsville scored twice in the first period, once in the second. and added one more in the third to earn their victory, f ntari als With only a minute left in the out the series drew the praise of game, coach Don O'Brien pulled many local fans.

Seven penalties were handed out, with Zurich getting four of the to- tal. SERIES COMMENTS Reason for playing the third game of the series in Ayr was the fact that a coin was flipped for location of the add -game, and Plattsville won the flip. The second goal for Plattsville in the final game should never have been counted, as the puck did not cross the red line in the goal mouth. A number of local fans were standing beside the goal jud- ge, testified that the puck did not go in the net, as did the goal judge himself. The fact that the referees did not as much as consult the goal judge drew the ire of Zurich fans. On the whole, the refereeing in the series left much to be desired, es- pecially when there is so much at stake. The team and a number of fans went to the game on Monday night on a chartered bus. The storm which was threatening on Monday afternoon gave the officials of the Club the idea that it would be much safer all travelling together on a bus, than driving in individual cars. HERO 05 THE SERIES The individual star of the series as far as this newspaper is concern- ed was defence stalwart Larry Be- dard, who was a standout in every game. Time after time Larry broke up threatening rushes on the part of the Plattsville team, and on quite a :few occasions he spearhead- ed the attack on the opposition goal. His cool manner in hand- ling any tough situation through - League to get under way future. 0 Plan Church School United Church elders and stew- ards in Huron presbytery will at- tend schools next week to c -lis a broader understanding of their responsibilities.
