The hikes will be retroactive to April 1 and will average $15 a month to those ployes eligible. The increases will total $18,000 annually.

Simultaneously the manrger released to the press a letter from State, County City ployes Local 1173, which said the members of the union feel "they have been given very little consideration as to wages and a working agreement." The union represents city ployes other than policemen and firemen. Retroactive Hikes Due to personnel shortage in the finance department'lhe raises will not appear on paychecks before August, Harbaugh said. Th'e ployes, however, will get the increase retroactive to April 1. To receive the hikes employes must have performed "satisfactory work" during the past fiscal year. Increases will not be received by those who already have reached the pay scale limit in their classification.

Many of those in this category are laborers. The pay hikes will boost the city payroll by about $18,000 a year. Harbaugh said that he does not know the exact number of es who will receive the hikes. Among the recipients will be 30 Galcsburg firemen and about the same number of policemen. The manager is not included in the pay boost.

His salary is established by the City Council. Harbaugh agreed today that most city workers' should be given increases above the ones provided in the pay plan, but said the city just doesn't have funds available for additional salary hikes. The manager estimated that to give the city workers such hikes as they have requested, would cost the city an additional $30,000 this year for salary increases. A meeting with officials of the city employes union has been set for Saturday, Harbaugh said. The city will present its case to the union officials at that meeting.

In addition to the city ployes "union, officials of the firemen's and policemen's unions have requested pay raises above the hike prescribed in the city pay plan. About $12,000 of the $18,000 increase will be paid out of the general corporate fund. The balance will come from street and bridge, garbage and other city funds, Harbaugh said.

The searching look at the organization boy started when John M. Butler executive of an opinion research firm, sampled opinion of parents on the Cub Pack 21 committee. He found only two of 22 members in favor of continuing the pack next year. Parents of boys who will be eligible to enroll in Cub Pack 19 also decided to toss the question around and 27 out of 31 of them decided against Cubbing. The Cub Scout program is for boys 9 and 10 years old as a prep course for the Boy Scouts.

To Mnrh Organization? Butler said he found a strong opinion that "the lives of your children are over-organized to the extent that insufficient time remains for normal and healthy spontaneous play or constructive activity." "Why just yesterday," Butler said, "my son asked me to start a baseball program for his friends. I told him to start his own and he went right ahead and got together a team. "That's the kind of training kids need." he said. Mrs. John Draney, also an opponent of the Cub program, complained "There's just too many activities for young boys.

"It's kind of like a birthday party every week," Mrs. Draney said. "I know the mothers definitely feel that way. Every week there's a cub meeting and the mothers have to bake cookies and try to keep the boys quiet for an hour so they can work on handicraft or something." She said she was in favor of boy scouting, "but the boys get so bored with two years of cub scouting that they don't want to go into the boy scouts at the age of 11." "We are on a terrible treadmill of over-organization," Mrs. Draney's husband said.

But the rebel parents have not had the last word. A number of others said they plan to keep sending their sons to cub meetings, only if one or two boys show up. "We feel it should be offered to those boys who wish to have it," one den mother said.
