The Huron Expositor, 1982-10-27, Page 5DdOOBn onc7 oP@o Clocks back on weekend MRS. JOAN CRONIN X445-2772 Each week that passes brings something new to look forward to. Hallowe'en is this weekend and all the little trick or treaters are out in full ,.dress t come a calling for all those cavity corrupters. The good old favourite treat was always an apple and what a good healthy treat for, children, but some of our society couldn't leave well enough alone; instead, they had to get their kicks out of pain and sickness inflicted on innocent children by tampering with the treats. We are very fortunate in this area not to be plagued by this kind of disaster. All of the children who stop at our door have always been polite and extremely well man- nered with the most unique and colourful costumes the eye could imagine. Some are wearing dad's old straw hat, patched plaid, shirt, overalls and rubber boots and others are wearing mom's old felt hat, out of date dress, rather dilapidated panti-hose and scuffed old high heels, Some times we even get a few visitors wearing dear old grand -dads long johns with a few pillows stuffed inside. For those in the country, going door-to-door is not quite so easy, as next door may be a mile or two away. But all in all the most enjoyment of Hallowe'en to me is the handing out of the treats and guessing who each of our callers is. To all the August and Frieda Scherbarth of Brodhagen, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Sunday. The couple were honoured by friends and relatives at a party held at St. Peters Church in Brodhagen, where they have lived as farmers since they first took their vows. (Photo by (Svela) Perth buses converting BY STEPHANIE LEVESrQUE Municipalities and school boards in Ontario are convert• ing vehicles to propane fuel as an energy conservation method. Out of 13 school buses owned by the Perth County Board of Education five use propane fuel. The hoard also has approximately 122 con- tracted buses of which about six arc propane fueled. The board's transportation Custodians get increase The Perth Count Board of Education ratified a one-year collective agreement with Local 220 of the London and District Service Workers Union sticking to salary in- creases ranging from 8.8 per cent to 9 per cent. The union represents custodians and skilled main- tenance staff in the schools. The full-time caretaking staff received a salary in- crease of 70 cents per hour with the starting salary at 58.51 per hour, up from 5/,81 per hour and the maximum rate at 58.80 per .hour• up from 58.10 per hour. The full-time skilled main• tenance staff received a 75 cent per hour increase with the starting salary at 59.10 per hour up from .58.3.5 per hour and the maximum at 59.39 per hour up from 58.64 per hour. The part-time rate in- creased 62 cents per hour from 56.91 to 51.53 per hour. officer Ed Tuokko said the difference in the price be• tw'een gasoline and propane is about 90 cents per gallon. Recently the board ap- proved two different mileage rates for its contractors, The gasoline mileage rate, de• pending on the size of the bus, ranges from 50.9 to 69.9 cents per mile. The propane mileage rate. also depending on the size of the bus. ranges from 34.4 to 52.5 cents per mile. The board also pays a basic rate for fixed and semi -fixed Costs such as the cost of the vehicle and drisers' wages. which. again depending on the size of the bus. ranges from 5494 per month td 51,242 per month. s These rates were effective Sept. 1. Mr. Tuokko said it is the first year for the propane fuel rale. He noted that if a bus which has been used in the board's jurisdiction prior to it being converted. the hoard will waive the propane fuel rate for one year. The reason for this, is that the provincial government PA day Representatives of the Ministry of Education and the Huron •Perth Separate School Board will speak to teachers at a professional activity day on Nov. 5' at 5t.
