WALDEN & BROADFOOT TEXACO DEALERS Phone 527-1224 Y. Board Lets Tender For 12 New Busses There may be some "financial repercussions" from the resignation of Dr. G.P.A. Evans, Huron County Medical Officer of Health, warned Everett Mcllwain, chairman of the Health committee when he reported to Huron County Council last Friday. "Nobody knows what we will have to pay to get a new man," said Mcllwain. "Our experience, you know, has been that we usually pay more to get a replacement." Dr. Evans is leaving the Huron post at the end of February to take up his new position as I4i',11-1 with the cities of Kitchener and Waterloo and the County of Waterloo. The Huron MOH was paid a salary of $23,000 last year and will receive a $1,000 per annum hike in salary as the result of the new salary schedule approved Friday by county council. Anson McKinley, deputy-reeve of Stanley Township, wondered if the health committee intended to negotiate on the basis of the $24,000 per annum salary for the MOH. Mcllwain told him they would have to leave this particular part of the budget op:,' until applications begin to cAln.

"'Then you have to decide, are we going to have a MOH or aren't we?" Other salaries for 1971 for non-union personnel in the Health Unit were agreed upon: a six percent increase each for Miss Sandra Malabar, supervisor of nursing to $9,800 per annum and for William Empey, Chief Sanitary Inspector to $9,100. "Union negotiations for Health Unit personnel are now underway for contract year 1971," said Mcliwain. "Council will be advised in due course of the results of the negotiations." BRIEFS mrs.

Nicklom of O. V. Kleinfeldt and Associates Limited, County Consultants, was unable to complete the document in time. However, the plan is expected to be presented early in the new year — hopefully January — and council adopted a schedule to make certain that all municipalities are fully informed about its contents. The initial meeting of the planning board is set for Tuesday, January 26 at which time the proposed official plan will be presented to them. At the next meeting of the Planning board, Tuesday, February 11, the proposed official plan will be discussed fully by board members. The document would then be presented by the planning board to county council during the February session as a matter of information. The proposed official plan will be sent to each local council following the February session. The local councils would then be requested to have any written comments concerning the proposed official plan in to the secretary by March 19. Council agreed that each municipal council would have the right to request that a member of the J .• planning board attend their meeting and answer questions about the proposed official plan. The planning board will meet March 24 to discuss comments from the local municipalities. The planning board will arrange public meetings to discuss the proposed official plan early in April and would meet again in the latter part of April to review all comments regarding it. The planning board would then redraft the proposed official plan for presentation to county council. The chairman of the planning board, Anson McKinley, told council councillors that to date, eight applications have been received for the position of planning director for Huron County. He said applicants are from as far away as Victoria BC, Halifax NS and the USA. Hugh Flynn, a definite candidate for the wardenship in 1971, expressed his desire that the new planning director to be engaged eventually be county council, would be a native of Huron County or at least, someone familiar with rural municipalities. The chairman pointed out that these men are used to "being re-educated" to geographical locations but concurred with Flynn that a man with a knowledge of things rural would be a definite asset in Huron. McKinley predicted that the Huron County planning staff would likely grow in the future to a staff of three people. He estimated that initially, the planning director would be paid approximately $10,000 ' per annum. "The people in Toronto are watching this with a great deal of interest," said McKinley. "This is a pretty important document. In fact, I think the official plan is one of the most important documents in the coming year. It will set out what we think should take place by way of development in the county. There was no growth for the last 50 years but this could change." In other business, county council granted pay adjustments for John Berry, clerk-treasurer $500 to a salary of $15,500; to Bill Hanly, deputy clerk-treasurer, $500 to $11,000; and construction safety inspector, Everett Smith, $342 to $6,042. Council also heard that $100 scholarships had been granted to the following university students: Miss Janet Roorda, Clinton, and John Trewartha, RR 3 Clinton, both at the University of Waterloo; Miss Mary Baechler, RR 2 Zurich, Francis Foran, RR 2 Auburn and James Wheeler, RR 1 Ethel, all at the University of Guelph; and Raymond Hogan, RR 7 Lucknow at Ridgetown College of Agricultural Technology. Members (Conttnued from Page 1) sigeed by parents be handled by the director of education per- sonally with no one else involved and ' therefore, no one else know- ing who made the complaint and the nature of it; stressed the need for board members.to think in terms of a, county board of education and to get over their little red schoolitis; warned members not to have so many policies that they become "rub- ber stamps"; asked members to treat each new policy as "an area of deep concern until it is passed"; suggested that trans- portation routes be studied thor- oughly in an endeavor to cut down duplication of runs and to increase efficiency. In closing, the retiring chair- man told the board members that judging by election results, the board must have "satisfied the electorate". He stated that not one member had been defeated during an election and members who were not returning had reached a decision to decline nomination. It was Vice-chairman Rob- ert Elliott who moved a vote of thanks to the three men, who, Elliott remarked, represented over 40 years of experience. "You leave hard shoes to fill," Elliott told them. Elliott also stated that true to form, Chairman John Lavis had left the board at least six months of work and consequently only a year and a half to make their own plays. Smiles . . .

Members of the Huron County Board of Education learned Wednesday evening in Clinton at the final meeting of the year that tenders for the purchase of 12 school buses were received from four school bus suppliers for three buses to go to Turnberry and nine to Howick. The lowest tender was made by Wayne Bus Sales of Ontario for $106,525 less $6,000 trade-in, making a difference of $100,525 and was accepted by the board. Delivery is to be made prior to December 31 and will include nine Ford and three GM chassis all with Wayne bodies. Other tender prices ranged from the low Wayne bid to $106,234. The report and recommendations on the cafeteria study was presented to the board and approved. The report showed that a meeting had been held with all the cafeteria operators in the county high schools and discussion had centred around reducing or even eliminating Board financial assistance. Cafeteria operators agreed that a "tuck shop" at any cafeteria increased the financial return. As well, an "express line" was shown to have merit. Cost of meals and staff wages were the biggest problems, the, a cafeteria operators said. Only two of the operators felt they would be willing to operate their school cafeterias • without subsidization from the board. The other operators noted that the only way it could be done successfully was to raise cents. Following of meals to at least 55 Following the meeting, the '4 committee set forth the following suggested recommendations: Raise the cost of a hot plate to 40 cents at GDCI; have bulk milk and use milk dispensers at GDCI; incorporate an express • line at GDCI; cafeteria and not the GDCI Student Council to dispense ice cream; cafeterias to be self-supporting at CHSS and SHDHS; cease operation of Moffat Catering Ltd. at Central Huron Secondary School as soon as possible and engage a local supervisor to run operation _without Board subsidy. These suggestions will be put into effect January 1, 1971 and will run until the end of the school term at which time the financial statement of each cafeteria's operation will be reviewed. It was also agreed that a request by the principal of F. E. Madill Secondary School for a new dishwasher in the cafeteria there be deferred until the new board meets' in the new year. • • —THE HURON EXPOSITOR, SEAFORTH, ONT., DEC. 24, nap See 'Financial Repercussions' Huron Considers Method Of Reviewing Official Plan • •i„,"t,.416 • • • To the People of McKillop Twp.
