I have been a volunteer mem-= ber for over two years, and my wife, three, supplying our own car and selves for Radio Com- munications at parades, Folk Festivals, training schemes, map co-ordinate readings, ete. without receiving any remun- eration.

Truck is present, and the lower in- come bracket vounteers can continue buget on a shoe string. I spent five years overseas in the army during war-time and my opinion is E.M.0O. should be supported to the fullest- possi- ble extent for peace time use by Ont, County. I understand that Simcoe County and others are receiving less criticism and a great' deal more co-operation from their council members than we are here in Ont.ario County, as well as a workable budget. : If Volunteers were to receive some remuneration for expens- es involved, instead of criticism from Council Members they could afford to make them- selves known to council in em-~ ergencies such as the French- man's Bay episode. While other county E.M.O. members are "on the air" train: ing one night a week with their council members support, Ont ario County EM.0. fulfills their role as a "Farce". What is the reason? Lack of admin- istration support, or poor fore- sight on the part of County Council. ; Larry Huston, Prince Albert EDITOR'S NOTE -- So that the Star readers will know what Mr. Huston is writing about, the above mentioned article is printed on the same page.

F. Wotton Tuesday: Council voted 25 to 11 to re- fuse the co-ordinator a $400.00 pay increase this year with a review of salary on Jan. 1 of | next year. He now receives $8,136 per annum, Pickering Township Reeve Cliff Laycox said his labor re- lations committee disagreed with the pay increase and said he refused to become a rubber stamp for the City of Oshawa which has already approved the increase. No Information Reeve Laycox said he had never received any information regarding the duties of , the EMO co-ordinator 'even though he requested them several months ago. Scugog Township Reeve V. Aldred, who brought the report before a committee of the whole council said that the co-ordina- tor's salary raise was due two or three years ago. Several council members com- plained "of no liason between the EMO co-ordinator and their municipalities and suggested the co-ordinator went "around "| and around in circles", Pickering Village Reeve Ross Murison said the EMO was created for wartime measures and was doing a lot of work that Council members did not know anything about. Reeve Laycox said that when the EMO was called during a serious flood of the Rouge Ri- ver two years ago he was ad- vised to contact the Red Cross for aid. No Trucks _ Reeve Laycox reminded coun- |; cil that there was no sight of the EMO - truck when a baby hurricane struck Frenchman's Bay three months ago. Ajax Deputy Reeve John Hall admitted that EMO did "a lousy administration job", but sug- gested that Council tell the co- ordinator what it expected from him. Mr. Hall suggested that since County had to have EMO, Council should try to do the best possible job with. What it had. "It's not clean pool to turn down the co-ordinator's salary year after year", said Mr. Hall: "If we're going to fight this let's turn down the EMO bud- get at the first of the year and fight Queen's Park." Newly appointed Whitby De- puty Reeve Bob Attersley asked why council had requested Reeve Murison to attend an EMO conference recently if it was obviously: not interested in what EMO had to offer. When the motion to adopt the report asking for the salary increases was put to council it was overwhelmingly defeated. A motion to refer the matter back to the committee was also lost.
