One of the objectors, Van Committee mails school survey About 1000 copies of a survey have been sent to Grand Bend and area residents by a committee working to see the local public school is not closed. The committee hopes to use the results of the survey to back their arguments when they present their in- formation to the school district study committee. The Lambton County board of Education formed the study committee to look Given `raise' for day's work Confusion about how much the recently hired village foreman was earning resulted in Grand Bend council giving him what reeve Robert Sharen called a $250 "raise" after one day's work. Councillor Keith Crawford moved to re -open discussion on the new foreman's salary after it was learned that council members did not agree on how the previous motion was to be read. The foreman, Jack Stanlake, was to be paid $14,500 with a $500 increase after six months work if he proved satisfactory. Councillors Crawford and Harold Green believed that it meant he would be earning $15,000 in 1981, while Sharen assumed that it meant he would be earning a total of $14,750 over the year, because the $500 increase was on a per annum basis, meaning he would only earn it during the last six months. It was fianlly decided that Stanlake would be given $15,000 per year, but he would still be on a six month probationary period.
