Salaries last year in the same categories were; Category 1, $7,100 to $11, 400; Category 2, $7, 400 to $12, 000; category 3, $8, 300 to $13, 700; and Category 4, $8, 800 to $14, 700. In any category, the teacher begins his teaching career at year zero with the qualifications necessary to that category. With each year of experience the salary is adjusted until maximum is reached, usually in about 10 years in the lower categories, more in the higher categories. After a teacher reaches max- imum, the only way an increase can be earned is to improve qualifications and move into a higher category. The offer included the follow- ing increases : for department heads such as the head of the English department in a school, a $1, 650 increment (raises) over the wage in their category; for their assistants, an, $800 increment; for commercial dir- ecto s, a $1, 950 increment; for assi4ants to the commercial directors, a $950 increment; and for subject chairman, a $1, 000 incretnent. Pri cipals of the five county high schools were to receive a $500 iperease as they had request- ed, bringing their salary range to $20, 250 to $21, 250 depending upon individual experience and Used Tractors & Implements ':Priced to MOVE __✓ FASB � USED TRACTORS Ferguson 20-85 $ 550 Massey Ferguson 35 $1795 Cockshutt 30 $ 350 A1115 Chalmers DB4D $ 850 Ford 5000 $3595 Ford 6000 $2825 USED EQUIPMENT Ford 612 Forage Harvester . $695 Case Forage Blower w/60' pipe $ 99 Cockshutt Bean Puller $ 50 Ford Flail Mower $550 MF Baler No. 3 $725 Case Combine $750 Henderson Loader $150 BETTER FARMING STARTS AT Exeter Ford Equipment Sales Ltd.

Had this salary schedule been approved by the teachers, it would have represented a total dollar increase, budget -wise, of $152, 400. Of this amount, Huron County ratepayers would have paid about 40 percent through local property taxes. Salary chairman John Broadfoot notes that no meetings are sch- eduled for the immediate future with the teachers' negotiators. Will the secondary schools in Huron County be open in Sept- ember? "I hope they will be" stated Broadfoot. "This depends ent- irely upon the teaching staff in this county and upon Mr. (Warr- en) Brown of OSSTF. Because the Federation has taken over it is no longer a local situation. What about parity for Huron's teachers with the teachers in the surrounding rural counties? "There is no such thing as parity, " says Broadfoot. "It is only an 1 illusion the teachers are using in negotiating. " What about a recent statement by Warren Brown of OSSTF that the Huron Board is not interested in the academic aspects of ed- ucation here? "The Huron County Board of Education has approved the equiv- alent of one teacher's time per year to keep the board informed concerning educational matters in this county, " said Broadfoot. "That decision was reached at the June meeting which was attended by so many teachers." He said five afternoon meeting? are set for this fall to discuss various educational problems. Broadfoot also stated that the new special education program for both elementary and second- ary schools throughout the county as well as the conversational French program to begin this fall in the elementary schools should be regard: d as evidence that the board of education in Huron is vitally concerned with academic matters.

While we do not have air conditioning in the Home, we do have circulat- ing fans, and most people com- ing in from outdoors feel this keeps the building comfortable on a hot day. In this humid weather, activities around the Home are cut to a minimum. Beginning last week for the next couple of months, we have a summer volunteer program for Secondary School Students which is set up and financed by the Department of Social and Family Services. These students made application through their respective schools, and were interviewed by the supervisors of the Department. Those who were accepted attended a seminar be- fore beginning their duties, and will attend another one in inid stream, and at the termination of this program will be interview- ed again to assess its value. They are not expected to take the place of any regular staff memb- er, but act as helpers to write letters for the residents, help them to and from the dining - room, take the residents in wheel chairs out for fresh air, and many other little things which help to make them happy. The two students approved by the Department of Social and Family Services and sent to the Home were Miss Lois Widrick, R. R. 2, Zurich, and Bruce Adkins, of Exeter. We welcome two new residents to the Home, Mrs, Bertha Jinks, Hensall, and Mrs. Evelyn Doyle, of London. Sincere sympathy is extended to the family of the late Mrs. Gertrude Datars, who passed awa) in South Huron Hospital. On July 27, we are planning an evening of Irish films and music. Mrs. Orval Storey, Sea - forth, and her dance students will be providing entertainment. Further details will be announced in our columns in the weeks to come. The Sunday evening chapel service was conducted by Mr. Cyril Gingerich, Zurich Men- nonite Church. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Oesch and family provided special music. Later on during the evening, the residents enjoyed a sing song around the piano in the dining - room accompanied by Mrs. Beat- rice Hess and Miss Meda Surerus.
