At this meeting, auxiliary" member Mrs. G. Smith presented Mr. James Van Camp, hospital administra- tor, with a cheque for $1,000. This money, raised in the Womens' Auxiliary's tuck , shop, will be used to defray costs of new hospital equip- ment. After the presentation of the cheque, Mr. Van Camp addressed the group on "the role of a:small hospital."" He defined a small hospital, such as the Community "Memorial Hospital, as one having less than 100 beds as opposed to a district hospital - providing more advanced services (100 - 500beds) or a (more offering Regional hospital than 500 beds) specialist services. "Some people have said that small hospitals are uneconomic and unwise", he stated. "But these hospitals are a necessity to the more than eight million Canadians presently living in towns and - villages. Ours is one of 78 such hospitals located in the Province of Ontario." According to Mr. Van Camp, "the three objectives of any hospital are educat- ion, research and the pro- motion of health combined with the prevention of dis- ease. The quality of service offered by any hospital depends on these factors. Port Perry is fortunate in that, being close to large metropolitan centers, its hospital possesses an ade- quate number of doctors.

Small hospitals have also 'had trouble recruiting paramed- ical people, physiothera- pists, nursing aid, social - workers etc. But Port Perry is again an exception; we are amply supplied with para- medical services."

Work-to-rule A HY TU, o \_ PPRT { PERRY v Volume 107 -- PORT PERRY. ONTARIO, Wednesday, Nov722, 1972 = No. 6 Teachers, parents, students "throw" questions at Bd. Chairman Mowbray On Wednesday evening, a large group of concerned parents met with school board officials in the gymna- sium of the Port Perry High School. Local board member Gordon Goode was enscon- _ ced on the stage along with M.J. Mowbray, Chairman of Ontario County Board of Education to field Yuestions from the audience.' The mass frustration ex- periénced by parents of this village over the local teac- hers' withdrawal of services was evident from the start. Shortly after the program got under way, Mr. Goode took seriously ill and was taken to hospital. Mr. Mow- bray carried on with the - evenings' himself. proceedings - by TEACHERS CHALLENGE After his introductory re- marks, Mowbray was im- mediately assaulted by questions from some of the large number of teachers present. First off, a teacher asked him why the Ontario County Board accepted a provincial budget -ceiling, unlike some other boards in the province. The Chairman replied that he believed the 11972 ceiling for secondary schools, $1,100 per student, should not be ignored. After a good deal of technical hassle, a gentle- man (and former district school board chairman) a- rose from the audience and vehemently demanded; "Why won't the board nego- tiate with teachers? The' teachers told us this was the case last week. Why does the board refuse to talk to the teachers?'" When the waves of applause had died down, Mr. Mowbray stated; '"The teachers have refused to sit down and talk with us!" (Numerous oghs and ahhs.) The board nmiember conse- quently launched into a lengthy explosition of the trustees' stand on this mat- ter. ""The only period of time we refused to bargain with the teachers" he explained, "was when they began to withdraw their voluntary services. This sanction is too hard on the students. If we give in now and bargain, the teachers will treaten with this sanction every time they want something." The gentleman then re- plied that the teachers did withdraw their sanction and try to negotiate but were refused. Mowbray rebutted 'this argument, stating that when the two Sides' did re-open negotiations last summer, they could not reach an agreement. To break the deadlock, the teachers wanted to resort to binding arbitration but trus- tees refused. The board 'members attempted to settle things by using "Step 3", wheeby a team of negotia- tors would represent each side. The teachers insisted on the use of binding arbitration (consisting of three members; one teac- her, one board member and one neutral party) because they felt that a long grinding stalemate could be elimina- ted by the action of the 'neutral third party.

Differences settled After a lengthy meeting last night, November 20, involving Pronvincial negotiators of the Ontario County Trustees council and District 17, Ontario Secondary School Teaches Federation executive members, it was announced that the withdrawal of voluntary services program in Ontario County has been lifted. The removal of the sanction came about after two important issues had been settled with the negotiating team from the Trustees council. 1 - The representatives of the Ontario School Trustees Council have an unanimous mandate to negotiate a settlement on behalf of the Board. 2 - Teachers have assurance in writing that there is no plan to reduce Secondary School staff in the employment of the Ontario County Board of Education as at December 31, 1972, except by attrition and then only after a complete review of the efforts of such affect of attrition has been made by the supervisor and principal concerned. Speaking on behalf of the teachers group Mr. Morris Richardson, Chief negotiator for the Countys more than 800 secondary school teachers expressed hope in the continuing talks. "These recent developments lead me to feel there is still an opneriynity (for settlement and we are prepared to do everything he to regch a fair and equitable agreement." power our The first formal meeting between OSST negotiators and the Trustees Council negotiating team started yesterday, November 21st. distinction JFRCM., FRCO, RAM, Or- ganist of Westminster Ab- bey, London, England. .
