Board sets pay scale Clint Hodgins named to hall Harness racing trainer--driver Clint Hodgins, who began his career in the Clandeboye area some 40 years ago, was inducted Fame by The National Association 'of Canadian Race Tracks at a meeting in Winnipeg Friday night. The NACT, an organization of both thoroughbred and stan- dardbred tracks, also chose a number of other sulky teamsters, jockeys, horses and builders for induction. But non is more deserving of the honor than Clandeboye Clint who was elected to the U.S. Harness Racing Hall of Fame four years ago. Hodgins, a trainer and drivpr of international renown, has won almost every major harness race in North America including the famed Little Brown Jug. Hodgins, who won the Jug in 1959 with Adios Butler, rewrote harness racing records on many occasions. In the late 1940s and early 1950s Hodgins drove the famed trotting queen Proximity. Together they set three world's records in the space of three weeks. Among the other great horses he drove were Bye Bye Byrd, Prince Adios, Bettin Time, Royal Pastime, Acrasi, Katie Key, Star Drift, Mimi Hanover, Geoffrey Scott, Elaine Rodney, Bye Bye Pat and Gene Mac. Hodgins remembers driving his first horse at the age of 21 at the Exeter Fair and is still driving occasionally despite suffering a serious heart attack.

Mr. Davidson told the meeting that most mobile home developments in the county want to eventually have 400 units and that council would have trouble keeping Mr. Morgan from ex- panding to that size, once he got approval for the 70 units. If the planning board did ap- prove Mr. Morgan's application, there would have to be a public meeting and Mr. Davidson ad- vised the council not to take a position on the development before them. Mr. Morgan could develop some additional mobile home units in the area that's shown as mobile homes on the official plan, Mr. Davidson agreed, to a total of perhaps 25 to 30 units. deworp, Bob Hoffman, Bill Schade, Irvin Rader and one rep from Hay township.

Want most for dollar The Huron County Board of Education adopted a pay scale for occasional supply teachers in the county basing their decision on a report submitted by Superintendent of Education Ralph Smith. Mr. Smith told the Board that normally the two salaries are negotiated by the Federation of Teachers at the same time but this year they were separated since supply teachers are not Federation members. The incomes are divided between teachers holding degrees and those not, Group A teachers are those qualified to teach secondary school and elementary school teachers with an approved university degree and they will be paid $52 per day, a decrease daily of 80 cents. Group B teachers, unqualified secondary school teachers and elementary school teachers with no degree will be paid $45.91 dai- ly, an increase of $3.91. The salaries will be changed if the supply teacher works in the county system more than 15 con- secutive days. The 15 day period is classed as long term supply and places the teacher on the same salary grid as full time teachers. Only four teachers taught on long term supply in 1975-76. The agreement is retroactive to January 1, 1977 and will be in effect for the entire year. "Where does the Exeter Fair go from here?" This will be the main topic of discussion of the annual meeting of the Exeter Agricultural Socie- ty which will be held Friday night.

SCOTT & ALICE'S RESTAURANT Formerly Les Pines Restaurant • Specials Available All Day • The Ministry of Health in Ontario spends four billion of the taxpayers dollars per year, and according to the Minister of Health and Welfare, Frank Miller, all the ministry wants to do is get the best value for every dollar. Mr. Miller made his comments at a luncheon attended by about fifty area people in Exeter on Wednesday. "I know how hard it is to make a dollar," said Mr. Miller, "and it is our duty to get the best value we can for it." Mr, Miller said that is what the government was trying to do last year when they announced the closure of several hospitals, including the Clinton hospital. "Increasing OHIP payments would not be the answer to decreasing health expenses," explained Mr. Miller "because only 20 percent of the total cost of health care in Ontario is covered by OHIP premiums." Mr. Miller went on to say he believes the provincial govern- ment is overstaffed and in his ministry alone has cut his ad- ministration by over two thousand people, Choosing a candidate for an election is a very important and , critical procedure and Mr. Miller expressed the hope the people in this riding are getting ready for an election. into the Canadian.,,liactng.Hall. A developer who has had his proposal to enlarge a mobile home park south of Vanastra to about 70 units turned down twice by the Huron County Planning Board was told by planning directory Gary Dividson that he can resubmit his application, and at the same time file an appeal for an OMB hearing at Tucker- smith council on Tuesday night. Approval of the enlarged park requires a change in the county official plan and a zoning change because the plan directs growth 4., "TO' 'th-e* riiiith of Vanastra, Mr Davidson told developer Doug Morgan, "It's not just am- ending the plan, it's reorienting growth from the north to the south," Mr. Davidson said. He told councillors that they probably would get objections from land owners to the north of the base if the development was allowed. The official plan calls for completing 75 percent growth inside Vanastra and then moving north, the planning directory said. Mr. Morgah objected that land north of the former base is prime farm land while his land who is in the process of selling isn't, Councillor Frank Falconer, Debate over park continued in area
