Snowplow Rescue Story Was Highly Inaccurate A news report that Bruce County snowplow had rescued two injured , motorists and brought them to Lucknow in the storm last week, was very inaccurate. The story received a wide play on radio and in-the daily press, but the incident was not the sensational one it was played up to be. Donald Forster, R. 3 Ripley and George Hoy, R. 2 Clinton, were in a two vehicle collision in a blinding snowstorm late Tuesday afternoon of last week when visibility was cut to zero. The accident occurred on Bruce County Road 1, just south of Kinlough. While visibility was very poor at the time, the yoad was open, and an ambulance from Wingham Hospit- al made its way to the accident scene. The ambulance brought one of the men to the medical centre in Lucknow and the second man came in a Bruce County Highways pickup truck. The men were then removed to Wingham 'Hospital, treated and released. The county snowplow removed the damaged vehicles from the roadway to allow traffic to continue using the Bruce County road. but this is the only part the snowplow played in the accident. Bruce Trustees Ratify New Contract Bruce County Board of Educa- tion have ratified a 1977 contract giving its caretakers, cafeteria and maintenance workers an 8.5 per cent wage increase. The 85 workers, members of the Canadian Union of Public Employ- ees, Local 1330, had ratified the agreement on December 19. The 1976 agreement was signed in October. Board business superintendent Roland Swanson said the only changes in the new contract are wage rates and scheduling of pay days. The bulk of the employees, 77 custodians, will earn between $4.50 and $5.07 an hour, reaching the maximum after two year's exper- ience. 'Last year they were making between $4.16 and $4.69. Almost all other workers are cafeteria personnel. Cafeteria managers are given $4.09 an hour in the new contract compared to $3.78 last year. Other staff wages go from $3.43 to $3.71. The contract calls for pay days every other Friday instead of once a month., Mr. Swanson said "The increase is within the anti-inflation board guidelines to the best of our knowledge. Of course, this contract will be sent to the MB for ,approval as routine." • • • • • • Set Salaries At Village Inaugural Town employees, the Reeve and Couhcil will all receive a 10% increase in their salaries and honorariums in 1977 as decided by Lucknow Village Council at their inaugural meeting, subject to anti inflation board approval.
