Two days later we received a note from the Phantom. Mrs. Skillender said that we would put the ribbon for Best Door and the Phantoms letter in our news book. Our class never put a letter from the Phantom in it before so we thought that we would. I thought the note from the Phantom was from the Student Council because they said that they liked our door, and they're the ones that judge the doors. Janelle Gallen Creatures Everyone- made a creature. it was so much fun. The teacher made a grey mansion with many windows. We pasted our creatures behind the windows or on the doors and roof. We made shingles. Some of the creatures i liked 'best were the one with eight eyes and one with long snakey hair. I liked mine too! Lisa Eagleson The Writing Contest it started on Tuesday.

DEMONSTRATION Laurie Reynolds (left) and Koren Roesch demonstt .,'e J iFripe for egg-onomical eggs during Open House at CCAT Kippen UCW plan potluck Some fare better than others November 13, 1985 Page 15A Remuneration varies A poll ordered by4the previous pro- vincial government and released recenllyby the Liberals revealed that a majority of people believe we get the best value for our tax dollars at the municipal level. Provincial and federal representatives often seem remote and unapproachable, but the local reeve or councillor may be en- countered at church, at the super- market or the feed mill, or sharing the bleachers at a ball game. John Kennedy's oft -quoted admoni- tion "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" is an admirable con- cept, but municipal politicians deserve some remuneration for the hours spent on the phone, in commit- tee meetings and regular sessions of council while tending to the needs of their community. Area towns and townships have teen contacted to ascertain the duties carried out by local politicians, and the remuneration they received, in 1984. However comparing figures is often like comparing peaches and lemons. Population, number of meetings requiring attendance, miles of road or municipal drains, respon- sibility for police departments or community centres, and many other factors, must be considered to obtain a true picture of what is demanded of those who elect to serve their municipalities, and how well or poorly they are rewarded in monetary terms for their efforts. The 1,800 residents of McGillivray Township are getting a bargain. In 1984 the reeve received a $250 honorarium, plus '$60 for each of twice -monthly council meetings, and the same for any other special coun- cil, board or committee meeting. The reeve often combines two or three short sessions, and submits a bill for only one. Councillors receive no honorarium, but art paid $50 for each meeting per- taining to township business. Members of council also have registration and accommodation paid when attending conventions and con- ferences, and they receive another $25 per day for meals.
