Only the salary of recently appointed recreation director Jim McKinlay has been ap- proved. He will receive $10,500 per annum, plus a car allowance of $15 per month, Arena manager Alvin Willert indicated he was not satisfied with his proposed stipend and asked to have a meeting with the finance committee to review it once again, The committee had recom- mended that Willert receive $9,000 plus a car allowance of $300. Last year he received $8,400 and a car allowance of $100. When he arrived at the meeting after the salary discussions, RAP chairman Gord Baynham said the committee felt the proposed salary was a "realistic figure" in view of the fact Willert would now have reduced responsibilities. However, Willert suggested the figure was "reasonably low" for the area, pointing out the arena manager in St. Marys received $11,100. Secretary-treasurer Elizabeth Varley won't know her salary until the end of June, at which time RAP will review her duties and draw up a proposal. The budget carried a tentative figure of $1,800 for her stipend. She presently receives $600. When the figure is agreed upon, it will be retroactive to January 1.

As chairman of the finance committee of RAP, Shaw presented the budget Monday night, but before he did so, Exeter Reeve Derry Boyle ap- peared at the meeting ,to make some comments on the figures. Boyle questioned if RAP members were in fact allowing themselves enough money for salaries. He said he was a little doubtful about the estimate contained in the budget and said he would "hate to see you have to come back to council for more money later on". When Boyle left the meeting, John Stephens asked how the Reeve had managed to get a copy of the budget even before it was given to members of RAP. Shaw explained that Boyle had visited his home earlier in the evening when he was putting the pages of the budget together and Shaw had given him a copy of the figures to look at. "It was my mistake," Shaw admitted. Chairman Gord Baynham suggested that Shaw get in touch with Boyle and retrieve the copy of the budget. separate schools in Huron and Perth counties. The board agreed that the opportunity be given those grade seven students, who are in a combined grade seven and eight class, to take the course also. Joseph Tokar, Assistant Superintendent of Education, outlined to the board members the course content which had MP requests name change Huron MP Robert McKinley has launched a private member's. bill in the House of Commons to change the name of his riding to Huron-Middlesex. The bill is entered under the Electoral Boundaries Re- adjustment Act and will in the normal course of events get parliamentary approval. without debate. The village of Ailsa Craig and the townships of Biddulph and McGillivray in the County of Middlesex were added to the Huron riding in the last redistribution, The riding in- cludes all of Huron except the village of Lucknow. Mr. McKinley said the new name would be a better description of the riding, but he had withheld action to change it anticipating another redistribution on the basis of the 1971 census. The boundaries commission did recommend addition to the riding of part of Perth county but this has been set aside for reconsideration of the whole problem of representation in the Commons. It appears an election is likely before redistribution is agreed upon. Mr. McKinley says there now is no reason for delay in the name change. been determined by a committee of trustees, clergy, teachers and parents. He stated it was "a broad program" and that the clergy had been involved in selecting the material to be used. He explained that there had been concern because there was no such program for the grade eight student and this was the area where parents were in general agreement for it. Mr, Tokar outlined the course which will deal with the physical changes that take place in young people,fatherhood, motherhood, , personality, emotions, dating, posture, grooming, fashion; alcohol, smoking and drugs and the meaning and qualities of love. Mr. Tokar said the course will be outlined to the principals and grade eight teachers from each school and the clergy, and they would form a team in their own schools to explain the program at a meeting of parents. The parents would be able to approve the course for their children or opt nut.
