they have written letters, one in Zambia and
'one in South Africa, have recently been
freed. .
Three long serving prisoners of consci-
ence, who over the years have been the
subject of hundreds of thousands of appeals
from peole all over the world, were set free
durihg August and September, 1982, and
allowed to return home.
They are Gustavo Westerkamp, a 29 year
old Argentinian imprisoned without charge

Huron holds line on salaries and honorariums
• , By Stephanie Levesque
Huron County Council 0 will receive no
honorarium increase in 1983 and has
O instructed its negotiating committee to keep,
employees' salaries at the present level.
At its October 28 session council approved
keeping committee and session pay at $67
per day and the warden's honorarium at
O $4,000 for 1983. Council also voted unanim-
ously in favor of holding employees' salaries
to current rates.
"It's no reflection on the competency of
the employees," stressed Colborne Town-
ship Reeve William Bogie.
The reeve said it is rather a result of the
current economic situation. , He acknowledg-
ed that the provincial government has given
five per cent as a 'wake increase limit.
"That five per cent is not a God-given
right, as I see it anyway," said Reeve Bogie.
He appealed to the employees to consider
that if council grants five per cent salary
increases services May have to' be cut and
O some employees may be laid off.
"How many county councillors enjoyed a
five per cent increase?" asked Reeve Bogie
noting most are farmers and not all
O commodity prices increased' five per cent.
"And we are the ones paying the taxes."
He added that he is under the impression
morale has dropped among county employ-
ees since the' executive committee decision
to hold salaries.
"What about our morale...it hurts,,! '
added Reeve Bogie in reference to county's
decision.
He mentioned the amount of $300,000. A
suggested figure of what will be saved by not
increasing salaries.
"That buys a lot of services," rioted Reeve
Bogie.
He suggested that in the road department
alone, $300,000 will pave four to six miles of
road and the Hullett-McKillop bridge, which
is currently under construction, will cost
about $200,000.
Reeve Bogie wasn't the only county,
councillor to speak in favor of the action. In
fact no councillor spoke against the motion.
Reeve Paul Steckle of Stanley Township
commended the executive committee for
coming forward with the recommendation.
He doesn't want restraint limited to non -
bargaining employees, but that zero increas-
es be across the board. He also suggested
that school board •members take the same
approach and limit increases.
"I know no one is indispensable. If an
employee decides they dori't want to work
for the county, they can seek employment
elsewhere," added Reeve Steckle taking a
hard line.
. Reeve Murray Dawson of Usborne Town-
ship added that unions bother him. He noted
in the 'United States unions are backing off
their demands.
"Here in Canada they're not smart
enough. They'll strangle themselves. Unions
