QDCI teachers est Thursday night agreed to accept -for this. year at least -a new salary offer made by the board. A Joint meeting of the board members and teachers was -called hurriedy after the teachers turned down the offer which the board de- cided upon at a meeting held on Monday of lash. week. The offer which the •teachers ac- cepted Thursday means that all teachers, except the principal and vice-principal, will-' receive special salary -increases: of $200. Fourteen of the• 20- staff mem- bers will actually have their in- comes boosted by $500 come Sep- tember. The reason is that all staff members are already in re- ceipt of an annual increment (auto- matic pay increase) of $800 an- nually. iThey receive this auto- matic $300 pay boost every year It is extremely difficult for radio and TV stations to put on pro- grams td please everyone, especial= ly when those most critical are not the ones providing the money to make the telecasts possible. So stated Ross Hamilton, of CKNX; Wingham, at a meeting of the Goderich Home and School Associ- ation Tuesday evening. The guest speaker was introduced by M. H. §tephens. r' Mr. Hamilton claimed research has proven that TV does not hurt the eyes. He stated that children now spend more time at home since the advent of TV and that the reading of books by school children has increased rather than decread. Research has not come up with evidence concerning the emotional development of children exposed to TV and this aspect is perhaps the most important of all, he said. The results remain to be seen in future years, he stated. He added that such educational programs 'as "Twentieth ,Century" . would be-, com.e .more: -frequent as TV stations became more financially. secure. Mrs. Roy Bentley thanked the speaker. In the discussion period, •it was predicted that TV would be used in school classrooms in the future even as • radio is now. 'Mr. Ron-Klinck's "Melody Mix- ers" provided entertainment.'. The quartette consisted of Mrs. Tony Hartman, Kenneth Hartman, Garth Picot and Barry Prowse. A tap dancing number was presented by Alan Reid. Attendance award went to Mrs. Ron Klinck's room. until they reach the maximum salary. Thursday night's meeting of teachers and board members wound up• near- midnight. J. F. Stephens, spokesman for the teach- ers, suggested that the press be barred from the meeting, but the board members did not share his view. New minimum salaries, with 1957=5& term . figures in brackets, are as follows: non -specialists $4,000 ($3,800), specialists $4,200 ($4,000). New maximum salaries are: non -specialists $7,000 ($6,800), specialists $7,200 ($7,000). In their original request to the board this year, the- teachers re- quested new salary ranges of $4,300-$8,600 for non -specialists and $4,70049,000 for, specialists.. They also soyght minimum and maximum salaries of $11,500- $13,500 for the principal - and $9,500-$10,300 for the vice-prin- cipal. .-hieing-anew teachers,-- the -uvil`l in future -allow experi- ence allowances of up, to $1,200 for' non -specialists and up to $1,400 for specialists.

When the riding. of Huron goes to the polls on Monday fgr the Federal election, in common with the rest of Canada, ,there will be 225 more eligible voters this time than there were for the June 10th election of last year. Returning Officer=- J. K. Hunter states there are- 25,31'7 eligible voters in the riding of Huron for Monday's vote. In the • 1957 election, there were 25,092 eligible voters. This increase is niostly due to the increase in the number of eligible voters in -the town of. Goderich since the 1957 election. On Monday, there will be 3,677 eligible to vote in Goderich, where- as. there were 3,471 eligible voters in 1957..This means an increase. of 206. The advance poll is held today, Friday and Saturday at the office of the Returning Officer, J. K. Htuiter, 66 Victoria street north. There were 15 who voted at the advance . P.oiL last year but tis increased is likely to be somewhat this year due to the fact that there are many sailors in this area who have not gone to their boats for the season as yet Total vote in the last election in Heron was 21,385 which was more than 82 per cent of the eligible voters. The Conservative candidate, Elston Cardiff, received a majority of 3,453 votes.

At this time, the details of the zoning by-law will, be imparted to the citizens of -Goderich. Several years ago, a public hear ing was held whee there were so many and so determined Objection. made to various items in the pro- posed by-law that a revision of it was commenced.

This is expected in a contentious issue of this kind. Having been recently submitted) citizens will be surprised and, pos- sibly,'' alarmed by the proposals. It is for this reason that citizens should make every effort to attend the public hearing when it is held and state their views b'efore,_ not after, the zoning by-law is made law. to Ontario Department of Plan- ning and •.Developegent, the town's -zoning by-law • has been returned t� the planning board here with recommended changes.

Among the recommenda- tions made by the Ontario Depart- ment of Planning and Develop- ment is that residential building should not be allowed in industrial sections. This means that no resi deuces should be allowed in the specified industrial areas along the railway tradks and in the Goderich Harbor area. Another suggestion of the Ontario Department of Planning and Development is that there be no mixing of commercial and residential properties. In other Words there should be no residences allowed in those areas that are specified as a immericial Titteree,etey This would include the area around the Square or the shopping section of the 'to W i.
