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."
