Counter Offer Made Firemen The Firefighters Union here which seeks an Increase in wages of 12 per cent last night received 10 counter proposals from the city council's wage committee.

Firemen are also seeking certain fringe benefits which include a different scheme than employed at present for sick leave, and formation of an independent board to conduct hiring and dismissals of firemen. A union spokesman said today firemen considered such a board "very important." "We think that if three independent persons were in charge of hiring and firing It would take personalities out of It." At present, Fire Chief Earl Becker is in charge of employment. The 12 per cent Increase is sought over and above the present scale. WEATHER Forecast North Coast Region Cloudy today and Thursday.

King Edward school principal, said: "These statements are evidently made by a person who has not kept abreast of the development of youngsters and knows little about them. DOING BEST "The schools are doing their best to turn out good clUzens. In the 18 years that I have been teaching In this province, I can't recall having seen or heard of any students of mine slipping to the wrong side of the ledger," said Mr. Moore, regarding the Social Creditor's statement that "school children are becoming theives, robbers, dope addicts and prostitutes."
