Sharpen Your Awareness School Bus Safety Schoo! bus safety is every- one's responsibility—remember that traffic in both directions must STOP when a stopped school bus flashes red lights front and rear. As a motorist, you should drive with extra caution when- ever a school bus is near. As a parent, you should remind stu- dents of the need to follow the school bus safety rules learned at school. Schoo! bus drivers are well trained and are con- scientious about their big re- sponsibility but they do need co-operation from everyone. . Section 142 of the Motor. vehicle Act places the following requirements on a driver of a vehicle that is approaching from either direction a stopped school bus if the school bus indicates by a sign or flashing red lights that it is stopped to reccive or discharge schoo! children: e The driver of the ap- proaching vehicle must stop; e The driver must remain stopped until the bus resumes motion, or until the bus driver signals it is safe to proceed. Failure to stop for a schoal bus carries a penalty of three demerit points. More serious, though, is the risk of hitting a student who is relying on the motorist to stop.

Government to Increase Rent Aid for Elderly Renters The provincial government has increased the rent maxi- mums allowable under the SAFER program to aid elderly renters, Hugh Curtis, municipal affairs and housing minister, announced earlier this month. “The amendments should se reased benefits for the majority of SAFER recipients and may permit others pre- viously ineligible to join the program,” said Curtis. SAFER, within certain maximums, pays 75 per cent of the amount by which a senior's rent exceeds 30 per cent of his or her income. Previously, only the first $175 of a senior's monthly rent could be used in calculating the amount of SAFER entitlement. “This has now been in- creased to $205, as SAFER statistics and other information available to the ministry indi- cates that 90 per cent of all single senior citizen renters pay rents below that figure,” said Curtis. The increased rent maximum for couples is $225 per month, The SAFER program was introduced in July of last year and requires that a SAFER recipient annually re-confirm his or her eligibility. “Many seniors saw their monthly SAFER benefits re- cently decrease because the program took into account their increased income over the year but could not allow for rent increases over the old maxi- mums,” Curtis added that “These revised rent maximums will see a significant increase in most SAFER recipients’ benefits.” As an example, a senior citizen renter whose income was just over $300 per month, as assured under the province's Guaranteed Available Income for Need program (G.A.1.N.), and whose rent was $200 per month, can now receive over $80 in monthly SAFER bene- fits. This is an increase of $20 per month over the benefits that could be made available to such a recipient under the old rent maximums. The increase came into effect Sept. 1, 1978, and shall appear on the September SAFER month-end cheques. Curtis said: “For those renters ag¢d 65 or better who did not previously apply for SAFER benefits but who now may qualify, 1 urge that they contact our SAFER office to obtain an application form.” Application forms are available by writing to: SAFER, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C. V8W 3E1 and from ministry offices throughout the province or from the B.C. Housing Manage- ment Commission in Vancouv- er. For Today's Woman... © Cologne Products on Sale!

Type Tel.: 365-7044 I Rec Master Plan Poll About one-fifth of the area’s households will be asked today or Friday to fill out a city questionnaire on local recreation facilities. A group of volunteers under the direction of Pat Metge, regional recreation director, Ald. Jim Gouk, city council's parks and recreation chairman and Jim Penman, Regional Recreation Commission representative, are scheduled to distribute the questionnaire to about 800 residences In Areas | and J and Castlegar as part of a survey which will be used to develop a five-year, $8,000 master plan. Consultant Ken Smith, hired to prepare the master plan, told the Castlegar News this week that based on an average of about three persons per household the survey would represent the recreation needs of about 2,400 Areas I and J and Castlegar residents. “A universal sampling would be about 12,000 people,” he said. “What we're doing is a sampling technique called a block or cluster arrangement where we select a number of households that represent the population.” Residents will be required to answer questions on their households, local recreation fa- cilities, their use of the facilities and how they see future use of facilities, he said. “Information on the com-* pletion of the questionnaires will be available at the Regional Recreation Complex office and -all they will have to do if they get stuck is to phone,” the consultant said. “But we don't anticipate any problems in completion of the questionnaire.” Smith said data from the survey will be tabulated and analysed with a computer after the questionnaires—designed “to gain the maximum amount of information with the least amount of questions”—are col- lected Tuesday. In addi to seeking the views of private households, the survey will also encourage participation of the more than 75 identifiable clubs and or- ganizations in the area, he said. “Following that, combined "BIG BRAZIER id'sal with the material already pro- duced, this will be put together to give usa park and i active, He said the master plan planning module,” he said.
