Mrs. George Procter, organist and Mrs. Howard Morton, pianist, supplied lovely prelude numbers as well as accompaniment for Warden Road employees speaks to Queen get wage increase Tom Cunningham of Hullett Township, the warden of Huron County, had an experience he never will' forget last Thursday at • Amherstview when he spoke to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and. her ' husband, Prince Phillip. Huron County was well .represented at Amherstview last week as . another resident, Doris Bushell of Wingham, presented her prize-winning bicentennial quilt to the Queen. Mr. Cunningham, who was on band ' for the -quilt presentation, was surprised when the Queen spoke to him briefly as she was makirl` her way to the quilt. Her Majesty asked Mr. Cunningham where he was from and what he did. The warden replied that he lived near Lake Huron and said he is a farmer. He .also ad- mitted to being a local politician. "I won't hold that against you," quipped the Queen. Mr. Cunningham iso spoke briefly with P, .im Phillip before the royal couple moved on, leaving the warden with a memory he always will cherish. The whole experience left Mr. Cunningham "that high" off the ground, he said. His only regret was that he did not present the Queen with a county pin. He had pins in his pocket, he said, but in the excitement forgot j all about them. Morris Township road employees John Smith and Jim Casemore have been given a new wage package which will translate to a 5.7 per cent increase in pay and benefits.

In other business at ,the meeting, a snowplow con- tract for the township's eighth and ninth concessions was awarded to George Radford Ltd. of Blyth for a grader at $38.50 per hour. Council had no objections to a severance application from Bodmin Ltd. on the south half of Lot 11, Con. 5. The application proposes severing a 1.04 -acre parcel with a house and a barn foundation. The reason stated for the severance is to be rid of .a surplus,dwelling. The next meeting of Morris council is scheduled for Nov: 5 at 7 p.m. at the township shed.
