But Prime Min- ister Mulroney and his cab- inet ministers will actually see their salaries fall slightly as a result of the federal government's restraint pro gram. The salary decrease for Mulroney and his 39-member cabinet — outlined in Finance Minister Michael Wilson's 4 Nov. 8 economic statement — will, however, be partially offset by an increase in their basic pay package. When all adjustments are likely will be about three per cent. As a result, the 1985 pay package for all 282 MPs, including cabinet ministers, will jump to about $54,400 and the expense allowances from $18,100 to $24,100. Senators, who receive the same basic pay package as MPs but a smaller expense allowance, will earn about $63,200 next year. There now are 102 senators. Opposition Leader John Turner and Commons Speak- er John Bosley will receive the basic MP salary~ of $72,500 next year plus an extra $41,600 for their special made, will collect a total of about $123,800 next year, down from the $130,800 he made in 1984. Cabinet ministers will make about $108,800 instead of $110,900 while ordinary e MPs will get $72,500, up from the $70,400 they were paid this year and about 75 per cent more than what they earned after the 1980 elec- tion. Wilson announced a 15-per. cent reduction in the pri minister's special allowance when he brought down a for a total of $114,100. New Democrat Leader Ed Broadbent will get about $97,600. In past years, the Oppo- sition leader and the Com. mons Speaker earned the same as cabinet ministers but their salaries will be greater than those of cabinet minis- ters this year because of the cabinet salary cuts. Neither Turner nor Bosley was ssked to take the same ffte ofer-cent pay cut. Turner said the reductions didn’t de serve widespread support because they are largely cos metic. wide range of Prog Conservative cuts to trim the burgeoning federal deficit. The prime minister’s spec ial allowance was $60,300 in 1984 and a cabinet minister's allowance was $40,400. The cut applies to their special cabinet allowances only. They will receive — as all MPs do — an _ inflation adjusted increase in their basic 1984 pay package of about $52,800 along with tax free expense allowances, which range from $17,600 for most MPs to $23,400 for those in the most remote ridings. The \annual cost-of-living imerease\ in the basic pay, authorized by legislation in 1981, is pegged at one per- centage point below inflation.

The Ministry's walk limits, on which the Transportation grants are based on are: Grade 1 - 3 — 4.0 km (2.5 miles) Grade 4 - 12 — 4.8 km (3.0 miles) The Board has recently met and discussed the below listed general recommendations: 1. “That the School District establish the following walk limits Grade 1 -3—2.0km Grade 4-12 —3.0km 2. “That students living within this District's walk limits be only transported if a bus is going by and if there is adequate room on the bus” , The Board would of course reserve the right to make exceptions to the above where visibility, traffic and speed limits warrant it Because of vandalism on buses (slashed seats in particular) this past School Year, students could issued with Bus passes which will mean complete their review of salaries and benefits for par liamentarians.

PHARMASAVE “in'the Heart of Downtown Cas: OPEN THIS SUNDAY, CARL'S DRUG CLOSED. 365-7813 Canada wins gold in hockey HELSINKI (CP) — Two of the “role” players head coach Terry Simpson had-counted on in the tournament combined Tuesday to help Canada to a gold medal at the world junior hockey championships. Canada rallied twice to tie Czechoslovakia 2-2 in the final game of the round-robin tournament as both teams finished with five wins and two ties. Canada won the gold medal, however, on the basis of a superior goals for-and-against average with the silver going to Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union taking the bronze following a 6-5 win over host Finland in the tournament's last game. The Soviets and Finns finished with 10 points each but the nod for third went to the Russians on the basis of five victories to four for the Finns. In other games Tuesday, Sweden gained fifth place overall by defeating the United States 7-3 and West Germany and Poland played to a 33 tie. Finland, which tied Canada 4-4 on Monday, had to defeat the Soviets by eight goals to take the gold away from Canada. The Canada-Czechoslovak game was played The Russians lost their | bid for a gold Monday had beaten 3-1 by Czech the second straight loss a 5-0 setback to Gennde. Wendel Clark, playing his first shift at left wing after starting the game on defence, took a lead pass from Brian Bradley for the tying goal with 6:17 remaining in the me. = The Canadians then forechecked the opposition over the final six minutes to clinch top spot. The other Canadian goal, in the second period, was scored by Jim Sandlak of London Knights — his first goal of the tournament during which he had been used sparingly on a fourth line with Clark, of Saskatoon Blades, and Bob Bassen of Medicine Hat Tigers. Clark was used mainly on defence Tuesday because of injuries to other Canadian defencemen. Michal Pivonka — voted the first team all-star centre —and Ladislav Lubina scored for the Czechoslovaks who twice held brief leads. “It was a bit of a hunch,” Simpson. said of his personnel juggling act. “But you get a bit lucky with something like that. “It was nice to see Clark get the goal. He played two periods on defence but we felt he wasn't reading plays correctly coming out of their zone and we didn’t feel we could risk it. “We felt if we didn’t get behind in the game we could put him up front and he might get a goal. That's exactly what happened.” Czechoslovak coach Frantesek Laspes said the Canadians were deserving victors. “It was a good game and I was happy that our team didn’t lose a game in this tournament, Canada played well (but) we just couldn't beat them.” It was the same combination of eeraesan tS penalty killing, solid of Craig of the forwards and defencemen that arya cee the gold medal for Canada. Canada’s only other gold medal in the eight-year history of the tournament was in 1982 at Rochester, Minn. ‘The Canadian penalty killers were unbeatable, four of their short-handed situations coming in the second period. The Canadian team allowed only one goal to be scored against them in 20 power-play opportunities for the opposition through three crucial games against the Czechoslovaks, Finns and the Soviet Union.

Bulau fifth in ski event GARMISCH PARTEN KIRCHEN, WEST GER MANY (CP) — While Olym pie gold medallist Jens Weis sflog was winning his first event of the current World Cup series Tuesday, Can. adian champion Horst Bulau was quietly reaffirming his position as one of the world’s premier ski jumpers Weissfig, the 20-year-old East German World Cup de fender who passed up the first two stops of the season in North America, won off the 70-metre hill here, the second stop of the Four Hills jumping tournament that un til last season served as the traditional opener to the international ski-jumping season. Jumps of 98 and 102.5 me. tres — the latter the longest jump of the day by 3.5 metres — earned Weissflog 201.1 points to 197.9 for runner-up Jari Puikkonen of Finland while Weissflog’s East Ger. man teammate, Klau Ost wald, took the bronze with 196.6 points. Puikkonen had distances of 96.5 and 98.5 metres while Bulau, the 23-year-old Ot tawa jumper who slipped in form after winning the sea son-opening 70-metre jump at Thunder Bay, Ont., last year, it was a continuance of the program that he has set for himself whereby he'll peak for the world champion. ships in Austria next month. Bulau put together conse- cutive jumps of 95.5 metres for 192.3 points and fifth place — his best performance of the 1984-85 season. It was also his best placing since a second at Cortina, Italy, nearly a year ago. “Both my jumps were the same and that's what I've been talking about all along — trying for consistency. — building slowly and just let ting it come,” Bulau said. Weissflog, who was fourth Sunday at Oberstdorf, West Germany, on the 90-metre hill behind Ernst Vettori of Austria, Olympic champion Matti Nykanen of Finland and World Cup leader An- dreas Felder, took the lead in the Four Hills competition. Bulau placed 12th in that event. Bulau climbed six places in the Four Hills competition to sixth place in the standings and stands 11th in the overall World Cup standings with 24 points. Felder continues atop the overall Cup standings despite an 11th-place finish here. On the strength of victories in all four North Amereican jumps, the 23-year-old Austrian army private has 115 to 84 for second-place Puik konen and 32 for third-place Vettori. Vettori was 10th Tuesday. The Four Hills competition — part of the World Cup schedule — continues at the 1976 Austrian Olympic ven. ues at Innsbruck Jan. 4 and Seefeld Jan. 6.

(AP) — San Fran. cisco coach Bill Walsh is in. terested in rare movies: Na- tional Football League game films in which the Chicago Bears defence looks bad. The 49ers started prac tising Tuesday for Sunday's National Conference cham pionship clash against’ the Bears. And Walsh said he wanted to study a film of Chicago's 29-13 loss to Los Angeles Rams — the only game this season in which Chicago didn’t sack a quar. terback. A Bear sack wasn't the only thing missing in the game. Chicago tackle Dan Hampton was out that day because of injury. Presum ably, Walsh will take that into account when he wat ches the film because Sun day's contest is shaping up as a battle of the trenches. Hampton had 11‘ sacks at right tackle, and there's no reason to believe he will miss Sunday's contest. “An awful lot depends on the wide receivers dealing with their defensive backs,” Walsh said. “But more im portant is the pass protection given the quarterback. “He needs to have the feeling that he’s going to be protected.” Chieago coach Mike Ditka said the best weapon against San Francisco quarterback Joe Montana is constant pressure that will “make him throw it where he doesn’t want to throw it.” The Bears had 72 ‘sacks during‘ the regular season, beating the record 67 set by the then Oakland Raiders in 1967. “Our defence dominated and confused them last year,” Ditka recalled of Chicago's 13-3 vietory over Safi Fran cisco, a game that saw Mon tana intercepted twice. The Bears will be coming off a 23-19 divisional playoff vietory over Washington, a contest in which Chicago reached Redskins’ quarter. back Joe Theismann seven times. “Basically, we'll play the same way we did Sunday,” Ditka said. “We know what we have to do to win: Get a lead and protect it.” The 49ers opened in Las Vegas on Monday as 10-point favorites with bookmakers, saying San Francisco fans were betting so much money on their team they have made them an unrealistically heavy favorites. showed improvement over their performances’ at Ober- stdorf. Ron Richards, 21, of Oshawa, Ont., 33rd on Sun day, placed 23rd in Tuesday's competition with jumps of 90 and 89 metres, Dave Brown, 19, of Thun. der Bay, Ont., recovering from a broken shoulder suf. fered at Lake Placid, N.Y., three weeks ago, was 40th on Tuesday after placing 78th in Oberstdorf on the first jump and failing to qualify for the second round of jumps. clash “I love it, I think it's great,” Ditka said. “We're 9'%-point underdogs, aren't we?” The only potential injury problem for Chicago was punter Dave Finzer, who had blood drained from his kick. ing leg. The leg was injured during the Redskins game. “He didn’t tell us until the fourth quarter, so we don't know how we will be this week,” said trainer Fred Caito. “He looks question. able, but he played the whole game, so we have to wait to see how he is in the next 24 hours.” If Finzer cannot punt, Walter Payton probably will Ditka will choose between Payton and backup quarter back Rusty Lisch. Payton did some punting at Jackson State and averaged 39 yards a kick Red Mountain Racers dominate men’s race By CasNews Staff Members of the Red 2:24.13.
