From rest home
County worker suspended
A Lambton County
employee has been suspend-
ed from his job without pay
for one week as punishment
for commenting to a reporter
on the effects of budget cuts
at a rest home he has ad-
ministered for 15 years.
In a special meeting last
Friday, a committee of
Lambton County council ap-
proved the disciplinary action
against George Maybury, ad-
ministrator of North Lambton
Rest Home in Forest.

result of an article which ap-
peared in the Sept. 1 edition of
the Sarnia Observer in which
Maybury was asked about the
effects of council's decision to
reduce the home's
$2.1 -million annual budget by
$180,000.
The interview with the
Observer, Maybury describ-
ed the areas of the budget that
would be cut and when press-
ed for his view on the effects
of the reduction, said he felt
both the quantity and quality
of care at the 90 -resident
home would suffer.
In 1982, county council pass-
ed a resolution prohibiting
employees from commenting
publicly on any county policy.
Councillors who attended
the closed meeting concluded
Maybury had criticized a
county council decision, thus
ignoring the gag order.
Grand Bend Reeve Bob
Sharon said he voted in favor
of the suspension because
Maybury had gone against
county policy by talking to the
press.
But Moore Township Reeve
Marg Stacey said she voted
against the suspension. "I felt
the suspension was too
harsh," she said, although she
favors some form of
disciplinary action.
Maybury refused comment
on the suspension, which will
cost him his weekly salary of
$750.

Church
•
The - celebrant of all
weekend masses was Father
Vanzuphthen. His sermon
was based on the gospel of the
two sons laboring in their
father's vineyard. The young
man who agreed to work but
did not do so, represents the
Jews and in modern time,
ourselves. We cannot retire
from God's work; He expects
us to labor daily, each in our
own capacity.
If anyone is interested in
going to see flying fathers
play hockey, leave your name
at the church so that Father
Morrissey can order tickets
with the alter boys tickets.

Teachers
meeting
September 25, the Mid-
dlesex Women Teachers'
Association again hosted its
annual Key Teachers'
meeting at the Great West
Beef Co. in London.
Representatives from
every school in Middlesex
were welcomed to their new
positions by Phyllis Lyon, the
president of the Association.
She int-oduced her new ex-
ecutive, briefly outlined their
roles and responsibilities and
stressed the importance of the
Key Teacher in each school as
a liaison between the Federa-
tion and each staff member of
every school.
After an excellent meal, the
meeting was turned over to
Ruta Wiseman, an executive
assistant at the Federation of-
fice in Toronto. Her assign-
ment is professional relations
services.
With Ruta's guidance, the
rest of the evening was spent
in an honest self-examination
of the attitude of members
towards their Association and
the reasons for this attitude.
The positive comments ere
heart-warming and the
negative ones provided an
arena to air doubts and
misunderstandings and to set
priorities for the future so that
some of these misunderstan-
dings could be corrected.
The evening appeared to be
a very successful one as we
went away with a new deter-
mination to help make our
Association better than ever.

the problem area, Sturde-
vent was able to point out the
unacceptable connection in
the layout. The way the flow

tion Authority sent a letter to
the clerk advising the village
