In other business, the Police Jury granted a non-exclusive cable television franchise to a Minden firm. Tommy Lary of Larco Cable TV Inc. said he wanted to expand his Webster Parish system into rural areas of Bienville Parish.

Lary refused to specifically identify areas of the parish he plans to serve. The Police Jury approved the agreement after tacking on a 3 percent franchise fee. Lastly, the Police Jury OK'd the replacement of $400 to $1,000 worth of posted signs missing from parish bridges.

Approval of the pay hike is contingent upon adoption of the budget proposal. The Police Jury is scheduled to vote on the budget proposal following a public hearing at its Dec. 14 meeting. Jurors also amended the budget proposal to include $2,000 each to By MELANIE MARKLEY The Times What do area students want to be when they grow up? This week, schools throughout the area are giving students a glimpse of what it's really like in the working world. At Central Elementary School, for example, Shreveport policeman Sonny Grubbs on Friday will give students some straight-shooting information about a career in law enforcement.

And earlier this week, Central students thinking about working at a restaurant were given some real food for thought by McDonald's Manager Frank Cruz. Central Principal Gloria Harrison said it's a good idea having people from differents walks of life talk to the students. "They want to know, 'How did you come to be she said. "Some of the answers were that you have to learn to read and write and do math, and you have to have a positive attitude. I just think it helps the youngsters' self-concept." Among other school activities in the area: Students at North Caddo High School are scheduled to hear from an array of professionals about careers in business, mathematics, science, social studies, music and the armed services.

At Waller Elementary School on Friday, students will dress up in costumes depicting their career interests. They'll also hear from a registered nurse, an Air Force pilot and a geologist. Aside from studying careers, Fair Park High School students are learning how to complete resumes and fill out job applications. Werner Park fifth-graders were scheduled to pair with a school employee for half a day and assume their responsibilities. At Woodlawn High School, university representatives have been talking to seniors since Oct.

17 about planning for their future. As to careers, Woodlawn students are getting tips from an architect, a postman, a physical therapist and other professionals. Poster contests, essays, video presentations, assemblies, career surveys, fairs, field trips and seminars have been scheduled all through the week. Holocaust horror recounted Lincoln says no to private garbage firm By MELANIE STONE The Times RUSTON Lincoln police jurors have said no to hiring a private firm for garbage collection. The Police Jury agreed Tuesday night to continue its present methods of collection as the dumpster system, on the recommendation of its Public Works Committee.

The committee had concluded that the parish should not contract out its responsibility to serve parish residents through garbage collection. "We are back to square one," Juror Jack Beard said. Contracting out the service was one of several options the parish has had under study. Although it has been ruled out, some of the other options including establishing a transfer pickup system remain possibilities, said C. Reagan Sutton, jury secretary-treasurer.

Sutton said saving money is a major reason that governing bodies' decide to contract out public services. That, however, means a loss of public jobs, he said. Committee members also expressed concern that privatization would lower the quaity of service. "The quality of service is important to me, as well as keeping the dollars and jobs in Lincoln Parish," Juror Willie B. Hughes said.

Jurors have asked the state to order closure of the parish landfill within 18 months. The Police Jury's interim permit to operate the landfill requires that it upgrade the facility. In order for the parish to pursue other options for the disposal of solid waste, the state said the Police Jury must ask to be relieved of its demand to upgrade the landfill. Also, the state said the parish must seek an order to close the facility within 18 months. tudy group recommends minimum salary schedule Continued from Page 15A to relieve themselves.

"I thought this was the worst that could happen," she said. "I was wrong." Arriving at Auschwitz, she remembers the sadistic guards who beat people out of the trains. She remembers seeing the skeleton-like people in striped suits for the first time. They were the prisoners, and she joined them. She remembers being made to undress by male guards who shaved her hair, covered her with disinfectant powder and forced her into ice-cold showers.

Only later did she learn that she was one of the lucky ones. She remembers "the death march" in 1945, when the Germans, in advance of the approaching Allies, forced thousands of prisoners on a 14-day trek without food or water. Mrs. Van Thyn was one of the few survivors. Two weeks after liberation, Mrs.

Van Thyn said she managed to find refuge with American soldiers, who treated the survivors with kindness. The 24-year-old woman who weighed just 65 pounds was taken to a hospital. Eleven years later, Mrs. Van Thyn emigrated with her second husband to the United States. He too was a survivor of the Holocaust.

"I know this country has: its faults," Mrs. Van Thyn told the students. "But believe me, this is the best country in the world." on teacher and administrator pay. Most districts spend considerably more than the minimum, the report concludes, because of a combination of the law and unforeseen outside factors. The study said cuts in state aid to public schools were "the chief villains" in pushing up salary percentages.

"Budgets were made up and salaries calculated on one sum of money and had to be paid out of a smaller amount. The teachers' salaries could not be cut proportionally, hence their percentage of the actual budget had to grow," the study explained. Larry Gerschner, superintendent of the DeValls Bluff School District, disagreed with Schoppmeyer's assessment of the 70 percent rule. "Our salaries are so low the monster is: Are you going to have higher teachers' salaries, or are you going to be 12th from the bottom?" he said. prepared about a month ago at the request of several of the council's 141-member districts.

The report was distributed late last week. While the report does not specifically refer to Gov. Bill Clinton's proposed legislative package, Schoppmeyer said he was "greatly in favor of the governor's policy." Clinton's program includes minimum salaries for starting and experienced teachers. Schoppmeyer said he was most concerned with salaries for experienced teachers, since the state average for beginning teachers, $16,015, exceeds the national average. Some districts, however, start teachers far below the state average.

"The raises ought to be at the higher end (of the salary schedule)," he said. "What we need in this state is to make teaching a career." In addition to the 70 percent rule, Act 34 of 1983 also requires that 56 percent of all new money be spend LITTLE ROCK (AP) A new report advocates that a minimum salary schedule replace a state law requiring school districts to use at least 70 percent of net income for professional salaries. The law has become "a monster threatening all other maintenance and operation costs," the Arkansas School Study Council says in a five-page report. But though the council prefers a minimum salary schedule instead of the 70 percent rule, the report's author acknowledges that too high a minimum would bankrupt many school districts. "I wouldn't go for a statewide schedule, but a minimum starting salary," Martin Schoppmeyer, the council's executive director, said Tuesday.

Based in Fayetteville, the council is a private corporation that researches topics suggested by its members. Schoppmeyer's report was JUaLU, J.
