Bell Aerospace lands major
shareof new $89 million
U.S. army carrier contract
GRAND BEND — Bell
Aerospace. Canada Textron
has -landed amajor share of
a new $89 million (U.S.)
multi-year contract to pro-
duce 12 more high speed am-
phibious cargo carriers,
known as the "LACV"
(lighter, air cushion vehicle -
30 ton payload) (26.8 metric
tonnes) for the U.S. army.
More than half of the
crafts' sub -assemblies and
components will be
fabricated at the facility
here, according to John B.
Tinabrell; Managing Direc-
tor of Bell Aerospace
Canada Teiitron.
Bell Aerospace., Canada,
along with . Bell Aerospace
Textron of the U.S.A., head-
quartered at Niagara Falls,
N.Y., has been involved in
the design, development and
production of air cushion
vehicles since 1958. A pro-
totype of the versatile craft,
known as the "Voyageur", is
currently being evaluated by
the ,Cana er • Coast. Guard
and has +, ren used suc-
cessfully a an ice -breaker
on the St. Lawrence River.
Both Bell Aerospace
facilities, the Canadian and
-the American, -are -currently.
working on the first 12
LACV-30s ordered by the
U.S. military, and this work
is due for completion by the
end of 1982. Work on the new
contract starts immediately
at both facilities.
Although the LACV-30 is
being used by the U.S. abny
primarily for transporting
military cargo, the versatile
craft can be used for search
and rescue operations;
coastal, harbour and inland
waterway roles, medical
evacuAtion, water and fuel
resupply; vehicle,, personnel
and troop transport, and
pollution and fire control. It
can haul a wide variety of
containerized cargo, wheel-
ed and tracked vehicles,
engineer equipment, and
other general cargo.
On its cushion of air, the
craft can cruise at 46 land
miles per hour,on water and
attain speeds up to 62 miles
per hour. It travels over
water, land, snow,.ice,
muskeg, 'mud, sandy bach,
even marshes, swamps and
low brush, through an eight -
foot plunging surf and over
four-footobstacles.._ ..
Since it rides on a cushion
of air, not on the ground or
on the water, the LACV-30
can glide over tides, reefs
and mud flats, and it is not
affected by water depth or
any underwater obstacles.
The craft can be used to br-
ing cargo ashore on at least
70 percent of the world's
beaches, compared to the 17
percent now accessible with
conventional types of craft,
and it can bring its payload
from a ship, acrothe
beach and • inland • so it
unloads dry cargo, even
without fixed port facilities.
The craft, which is nearly
80 feet (2A metres) long and
40 feet (12 metres) wide, has
been rigorously tested in
harsh environments, from
the sub -zero cold of the Arc-
tic to tropical conditions, in-
cluding sand beaches and
the ocean's salt water. It is
powered by two Pratt &
Whitney of Canada twin-pac
STET gas turbines (max-
imum rating 1800 SHP - nor-,
mal rating 1400 SHP per
unit).

County Councii committee will
take s coed look at guidelines
By Stephanie Levesque
Huron County Council's executive committee will
take a second look at the federa,igovernment's six
and five percent guidelines.
Council disposed the pros and cans of using the
guidelines in salary negotiations at a special meeting
on Sept. 8. The original recommendation from the ex-
ecutive conunibtee called for ag eg ement with a
resolution from LaainJ.aton County: The resolution re-
quested municipalities to exercise restraint in wage
negotiations for 1983.
Stanley Township Reeve Paul ,$teckle expressed
his concern that if council adopted the six and five
guidelines, in its own wage negotiations, nothing less
would be accepted. He said it is unfair for employees
receiving $10,000 a year and those. receiving $40,000
plus per year to each get a six •percent increase. In
some situations no salary increase should be handed
out, suggested Reeve Steckle.
Not only does the county have to be concerned
about wage restraint, it also has to practice restraint
of its expenses, said Goderich Reeve Don Wheeler.
He suggested council look at budget expenditures as
far as it could. Realizing such costs as energy would
-be difficult to control Reeve Wheeler reasoned costs
in other areas Would have to be cut down:
On the subject of county expenditures, Goderich
Deputy Reeve Robert Allen cautioned his colleagues,
that no matter what Huron ` levies, if the
municipalities can't raise the money from taxpayers,

Restraint would have to be performed whether or
not county wants to do so,
County administrator William Hanly warned coon-
cil that if some of the employees' unions don't accept
whatever is negotiated, the matter could be turned
over to a provincial arbitrator. In that case, if past
history is used as an example, Mr. Haply suggested
the arbitrmitor.may,e and --wage - ettlwiuents luggher
than six percent.
For non-union employees, council could impose its
wishes in wage negotiations. The end result would be
a discontented staff, noted Mr. Hanly. -
Deputy Reeve Allen reminded council that one of
the leading industries in the county had its employees
take a 10 percent salary decrease, union members in-
cluded.
Morris Township Reeve Bill Elston said there could
also be hard feelings if the individual municipalities
don't stick together and give their employees approx-
imately the same increase. Asan example, if Morris
gives its employees an eight, 10 or 12 percent in-
crease, East Wawanosh and Grey Township's
employees would want the same. •
e executive committee has heard the feelings of
member councillors and it would be a good idea to
refer the issue back to the committee," said Zurich
Reeve Fred Haberer.
"Take another look at it," suggested Reeve
Haberer.
