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hat, out of date dress, rather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

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

Ministry of Education and the

community to the best of
their ability.
