The first call was to the farm of Ted Van der Velde on Highway 86, about two miles west of Lucknow. A rubbish fire, fanned by strong winds, ignited Ted's older house which sits immediately to the south of his newly constructed home. The fire was quickly brought under control. The firemen were just nicely back to Lucknow when a second call took them to a trailer fire on the . farm of Jack Hayes on the ''Kenny MacKenzie sideroad" in Ashfield. The trailer home, the property of Richard Brown, was completely destroyed. Firemen, in trying to use the smoke ejector to allow removal of appliances and furni- ture, lost the smoke ejector in the blaze. Pen Pals Meet After 20 Years DUNGANNON NEWS Visitors recently with Mr. and Mrs. Jack Errington were Mrs. Mary Rempel and her daughters, Mrs. Marie Boffey and Mrs. Margaret Anderson from Olds, Alberta and vicinity. Evelyn and Mrs. Rempel have corresponded .as pen pals for the past twenty years but this was the first time they met face to face. The salaries of Bruce County Board of Education trustees will rise or fall with the cost of living. The board decided last week to give themselves a 5.2 percent increase retroactive to January 1 and to undertake annual reviews of their pay in relation to the consumer price index. This year's increase reflects the jump in the indeX in 1976. Vice-chairman Lloyd Ackert of Holyrood, who headed a special three-member committee to look into trustees' pay, said the policy will allow trustees to .keep abreast of inflation rather .than voting large increases every few years. The increase means trustees will get $263 a month, compared to the $250 the\ 'ye been paid since 19 75. Mr. Ackert stressed that regula- tions allow trustees to get up to CONTINUED ON PAGE 21 $400 a month. He said after the raise Bruce trustees are still paid less than counterparts on many area boards. The increase and new policy were opposed by Jacqueline Clem- ents, trustee for Tiverton and Bruce and Kincardine townships. She said trustees should be paid just enough to compensate for income they may lose while working for the board. Pay should be based on the time the trustees spend working for the board, she said. "1 don't think $3,000 a year is bad pay for what we do.— she said. Mrs. Clements was the only one to vote against ,the increase. Ackert said the recommendation to peg pay to the cost of living was based on two considerations. First, what a fair salary for the trustees problem. The association felt that since the restaurant would be a take-out establishment, wrappers would litter the area. Reeve Mike Snobelen told Mr. Martin that council had no control over the matter. Mr. Martin also asked council, on behalf of the association, when tennis courts, which had been promised by the council, would be put in the park at Point Clark and when a dog catcher would be hired for the township. Reeve Snobelen promised Mr. Martin that the tennis court question would be brought up 'at the recreation board meeting this week. Reeve Snobelen said he would also check out 'the possibility of,a Wintario grant for that project. "As to the dog problem, I would like to arrange a meeting with Kincardine council and see if something 'can be worked out between the two municipalities," Reeve Snobelen said. Died In Hospital Mrs. Otto Luedemann, a resid- ent at Pinecrest Manor; Lucknow for some time,. passed away at Wingham and District Hospital on Saturday, April 9. She was 61. The funeral service was held on Sunday, April 10 at Kingdom Hall. Wingham with interment in South Kinloss Mausoleum.. Glen Walden Sells Dairy Farm To Tavistock Couple Mr. and Mrs. Glen Walden and family of Lucknow recently moved to the Glennhaven Apartments in Lucknow after selling their dairy farm at the southern outskirts of Lucknow. NeW owners of the farm are Mr. and Mrs. Carl Bale of R. R. 2 Tavistock. They have a son Bradley of Kindergarten age. Glen Walden has operated the dairy farm for the past 26'/2 years. Included in the sale was the home farm, the centre 100 and the former Milvert Reid farm, a total of 316 acres. Glen retained 50 acres on highway 86, just west of Lucknow, the former Bob, Reid place. The new owners will continue in dairy farming, having acquired the Walden dairy herd and milk quotas. would be in light of inflation. and second, whether the board shou!d be paid on a formula. Mr. Ackert said $250 .18aN reasonable in . 19'5. but since trustees arc 6pending just as much time on board business and their costs have risen, a change was needed. The committee also felt other levels of government let their reasonable salary increases lag When they ,do 'vote themselves raises they often get adyerse.pubIR reaction, he said. Another committee member. Albert Smith of lohermory , felt by keeping salaries tied to the cost of living the hoard could attract good members. • Mrs, Clements said people should not be running for the board because of the pay, Doug Martin, president of the Point Clark Beach Association, presented a petition with about 50 signatures to Huron ToWnship council Monday of last week. The petition, signed by householders in the ,area, protested the proposed takeout restaurant just east of the lighthouse in Point Clark. Accompanying the petition was a copy of a letter the association had sent to the Bruce County Planning Board and the Bruce County Health Unit, stating that there would not be -ebb-ugh -paircirifraTilifies on the narrow road. • "Cars often have to stop to let the oncoming traffic through. Imagine what that road would be like with cars parked on either side," Mr. Martin said. The letter also stated that there was already a take-out food restaurant, temporarily closed until the May 24 weekend. Another concern expressed by the associa- tion in the letter was the garbage Seek Tender Approval For New Grader West Wawanosh Township Council met for its regular April session on Tuesday, April 5th at 8.00 p.m. in the Township Office. All members were in attendance and Reeve Lyons presided. Mr. and Mrs. John Siecker attended and presented a petition signed by twenty-two resident's of St. Helens, nineteen of whom were in favour of paying a share of the sentinel light at the main corner of the village to keep it operating.

The minutes of the regular March meeting were read and adopted on motion of Councillors Foran and Hickey. Don Richardson, a resident of Dungannon, attended the meeting and discussed with council mem- ber's the village streets and problems connected with them.
