This And That

Certainly glad to report that Avery (Hirt) Wampler was able to return home Wednesday from the Putnam County Hospital where she underwent major surgery. Avery, as a great many of you know, is the daughter of Jake and Thelma Hirt and is a registered nurse. 000 Also, I was informed Thursday morning that Audrid Fleenor observed a birthday Wednesday. Sorry I didn't know about it sooner, but anyway, here’s a belated Happy Birthday greeting, Audrid. . 000 1 have also learned that SPY Howard E. Kendall will be returning home on furlough from Germany today. His brother gave me this information. 000 Noticed Bob McCormick

It looked good from where 1 was too, Bob. 000 I read that soccer fans in some parts of England are dyeing their hair to match the colors of their favorite teams.

I certainly hope you have many, many more, Grace Marie. 000 DID YOU KNOW: The dog in dogwood really is short for “dagger.” In the old days Europeans found they could fashion tough dogwood timber into a good pointed knife called a dag.

Council Changes Salary Schedule For Welfare Dept.

Obituaries

Keith Roberts

Attorney Rexell Boyd appeared before the Putnam County Council Wednesday morning on behalf of the County Welfare Department to explain the importance of necessary changes needed in salary schedule of the Welfare Department. The attorney pointed out that Putnam County’s Department of Public Welfare was in a position to lose state reimbursement offered county departments which follow specific salary schedules. Boyd informed the board that county welfare departments could receive partial reimbursement of welfare department salaries, provided the salary schedule used is, “...fixed by the county board of welfare and within the ranges set by the State Department of Public Welfare.” Councilman Norman Knights then read a letter from the administrator of Public Welfare which listed salaries approved by the county board and those approved by the county council. The list showed that in all cases the amount paid was below the amount budgeted and approved by the county welfare board. The council then approved a motion to pay welfare salaries as approved by the welfare board, beginning with June 1, 1973. These salaries range up to $30 more per month than the councilapproved salaries and are near the minimum set by the State Department of Public Welfare in order to qualify for the reimbursement. The council also allowed additional appropriation transfers in four requests brought before the body at the Wednesday morning special session. A total of $2,500 was requested by the Putnam County Board of Commissioners for welfare transfer tuition. Also allowed was a request from the county assessor’s office for the transfer of $300 from account No. 300 (supplies) to account No. 100 (personal services). The office of the county recorder requested a transfer of $350 from the 300 account to account No. 100. and a request for $25,504 from the cumulative bridge fund was allowed for the final payment on the twin bridge project over Mill Creek. Putnam County Auditor John Carson reported to the council that of the $225,000 remaining in the cumulative bridge fund, $222,000 is invested in bonds throughout the county. Also on the agenda of the Wednesday meeting was the preliminary stages of the county budgeting. Budget ses-

sions are set lor September 4,5 and 6. Carson distributed to the council a listing of budgets for selected county officials from the seven other counties in Class VII, to which Putnam County belongs. The council began a comparative discussion of the information to familiarize themselves with budgeting problems. County Commissioner Harry Moore was on hand to discuss aspects which that group had taken into consideration in its budget plan-

ning. He pointed out that among changes from the 1973 budget are a 10 per cent cost of living increase across the board for courthouse employees, and an eight per cent increase for county highway employees. Moore further stated that the commissioners had taken into consideration the following: —the increase in the federal minimum wage. —precautions that no budgets were completely out of

line. He stated, “In order to improve our county government we believe that elected officials should be paid at least as much as a welfare case worker or a beginning school teacher.”

—the proposal of making the position of county sanitation director a full-time job. Before adjourning the meeting the council appointed Archie Chadd as a representative to the State Tax Adjustment Board.
