This improves the average annual salary, including increment and responsibility allowances from $18,792 to $21,175 for the contract year 1979-80. This represents an increased cost to the board of $280,000 for the school year. The new salary grid ranges from $11,340 for Level One teachers with no experience to $28,945 for teachers having attained Level Seven and 12 years experience. A new benefit has been introduced in the agreement for the first time providing a long term disability income plan which reduces the number of accumulated sick days currently from 230 to 220 days in 1979-80. New clauses in, the agreement include access to personal files, right of recall and distribution of a seniority list. Negotiations, which began in late January, concluded with a tenative agreement on June 27, 1979. In other business discussed at the meeting of which almost two and a half hours was behind closed doors, the board approved hiring Debra Kimberley as a teacher at Sacred Heart school, Wingham; Cathy Foran as a part-time (50 per cent) teacher (principal's relief) at Sacred Heart; and Linda VanStraaten as a part-time teacher (50 percent), principal's relief, at Immaculate Conception school, Stratford.

Huron County Number of illiterates up BY JEFF SEDDON The Huron County public library now has books for everyone including about 1,000 county residents who can't read, On Thursday Huron county council approved the purchase of 10 books specially prepared to help illiterates learn to read. Council increased the library budget by $120 to permit the books to be bought immediately. County librarian Bill Partridge told council the number of illiterates in Huron county had risen sharply in recent years. He told council the illiterates had learned to cope in society despite their handicap and lead an interesting life. He said the people will "rip open bags in grocery stores and put their fingers in to determine if the bag contains sugar or salt." Partridge said in an inter- view that the percentage of illiterates in Huron was high compared to other municipalities in the pro- vince. He said that per- centage could be due to the rural base in Huron pointing out that many people didn't need a formal education to work farms and left school early. The librarian said according to provincial standards people with less than a Grade 3 education are termed illiterate. He said government statistics re- leased in 1976 showed that 775 of the county's 41,175 residents had less than Grade 5 education. The county population now stands at 56,000 and according to Partridge 1,000 people could be illiterate. Government statistics show that 17 percent of the people in Ontario are functionally illiterate. People with less than Grade 9 education are termed functionally illiterate. Partridge said that 29 per- cent of Huron's residents are Huron Hotel 110 Seaforth ( Goettier Hwy. Furniture U~ functionally, illiterate according to those terms. He said a program was in operation to teach people to read and that about half a dozen people had enrolled. But he added that , the program could become county wide and include more people., He said people that, can't read have learned to get along and unless one knew that a person could not read one would not be able to tell. He said one could not tellby talking to illiterates that they can't read. But he added that the people are very "eager to learn" and realize that by not being able to read they are "missing a lot in life". FURNITURE #8-- VALUES! High Quality Low Prices
