About September a year later, Mrs. White began to feel unwell. There was considerable delay before her illness was diag- nosed. Finally, she was admit- ted to Sanatorium in February with advanced lung tuberculosis. There was an immediate check for contacts, starting with her own family.

Result of the increases, a- mounting to an average $250 per person per year, excluding fringe benefits, would be to "crowd - already hard-pressed taxpayers," claimed Ald. Da- foe. On a recorded vote, he suc- ceeded in getting only two other aldermen, Norman Down and Gordon Attersley, to vote with him against the raises as the motion passed 9 to 3. Ald. Walter Lane was absent. Ald. Attersley objected to the method of arriving at the amount offered. He wanted comparison made with sal- aries paid in other cities -- or -- a standard four percent raise for everyone concerned. He cal- led the actual increase, "not large." Explained Ald. Dafoe: "I'm not against moderate increases which are in line with the schedule (Stevenson - Kellogg guide which was born of job evaluation studies) set up two |years ago. run to 22 percent?" fringe benefits, a more realistic approach, "Mothers, fathers, and widowers should protest these unreasonable grants.

"Tf they can find greener pas- tures, God speed them on their way." Ald. Bastedo replied that the OMB report was outside the matter of salary increases; he also revealed that the $950 per annum for each department head and deputy was "less than what was recommended by the finance committee." Retorted Ald. Dafoe: "Ald. Bastedo was quoted not long ago by an Oshawa Times col- umnist as being in favor of a "pay-as-you-go policy."

I was willing to go along on salary increases on ® percentage basis as long as the maximum was not pierced." Ald. Walter Branch backed up Ald, Walker, arguing that there would be no increase in fringe benefits. He termed Ald. Da- foe's remarks about 22 percent increases in fringe benefits, "most unfair."

Representatives from all wel- fare and service clubs were present and were welcomed by Mr. A. G. Hiltz, President, On- tario County Tuberculosis and Health Association. Mr. Hiltz explained that the Ontario De- partment of Health had asked his Association to spearhead this new Association. Mr. Hiltz then asked Mrs. E. A.
