Exams are over. The ; |students of Central Collegiate In- stitute wrote their fall exams from Thursday, Ndv. 19, to Thursday, Nov. 26. After the last |one, everyone was verv glad and |relieved, and just about every- body made the most of Thursday night because they knew that perhaps the next day would not be so happy. On Friday some of the results were given back. This year I think some of the teachers got together and decided to torture us a little. Let me ex- plain. As soon as a class enters the room, it is announced that the exams are marked and are going to be handed back. Every- body is naturally quite nervous and very anxious to see their a picture in the "morgue" -- the | room where back fies of the | newspaper are stored, --Oshawa Times Photo OCVI Boys Are Curling By SANDRA PITMAN Schoolbov curling has started for another year, Tre boys curl every Tuesday and Thursday after 4.15 p.m. E.

More than 200 Civil Servants districts, many of them waving placards, were told by A. H. Bond, regional representative of the Civil Service Association of Canada, that they would have to organize, recruit members, and carry on their fight for raises right up to the next election, if necessary, at a rally in the UAW from Oshawa and surrounding has Front Is Foreseen rejected the corrected recommen-' dafion. What was more alarming, #e- cording to Mr. Bond, was Mr, Fleming's statement that even if ernment was different have implemented the commis. sion's wishes, : "The Diefenbaker government ued the 'hold-the-ling Service out as victims of the new spending policv.

Similar meetings have been held in seven other Ontario centres in the past 1% months, "BLACK TUESDAY" Oificials of the two major or- ganizations, the CSAC and the Civil Service Federation (CSF) are atiempting to make Finance Minister Fleming the political goat because of his October 13 announcement termed by them "Black Tuesday", refusing the salary increases recommended by the Civil Service Commission. An important by-product and nue which is the expressed aim of these officials, may be one central organization with one treasury representing all per. sons directly employed by the federal government, FOUR RESOLUTIONS After hearing national and local speakers make impassioned de- mands for collective bargaining, which they are mow denied by law, and a better living standard the meeting unanimously passed four resolutions, These resolutions ealled for Section 55 of Industrial Relations and Disputes Act to be deleted. This is the section which forbids collective bargaining by govern- ment employees. For the recom- mendations of the Pay Research Bureau, a newly created part of the Civil Service Commission.

Mr. Bond told the meet- ing that it was not the individual marks. But the teacher has other plans. He or she spends about 10 [minutes looking for the question {papers which are also handed back and then goes into a long lecture about what evervone did wrong on the exam. Finally, after the students are practically shaking in their seats because of worry and nervousness, (teacher hands out the papers. | This is where a few moré stu- dents die a thousand deaths.

But there are |the few that hand them back the| members who were at fault in this matter but rather it was a decision of one or two persons aud the rest were forced to agree with it. "Nothing short of a full parlia- mentary debate is needed on this question," he said. STARR DECLINES When the meeting was told that Labor Minister Michael Starr had been invited to attend the meeting to give the govern- ment's viewpoint and had de- clined several boos were heard from the floor. It was also re- ported that the local joint-action urged to bombard their local COST DISTORTED The finance minister was ae- cused by Mr. Bond of completely distorting the cost of the recome mended increases. He states that (the raises asked for would have cost $50 million whereas Mr. Fleming had made it seem $243 million. This was allegedly done by adding in armed service per- sonnel, pension payments which are actually spread out over fue ture years and revising the book. keeping. Mr. Bond concluded that the civil service employees must be allowed to bargain collectively and take the disputes to a tribunal outside of government if they are going to catch up to industry. E. T. Harshman, representing the Civil Service Federation, re. iterated Mr. Bond's accusations concerning the distortion of the cost of the salary increases and quoted a Carleton University pro- fessor as calling Mr. Fleming's lculations "plain dishonesty", SLEIGHT OF HAND He referred to the minister's statements as "sleight-of-hand" arjthmetie, ne voutinned: "We appear to be dealing with a gov. ernment that wants to substitute it's own arbitrary pronounce ments upon what will determine wages, for the experience of liter ally thousands of and worker's representatives." In discussing Mr. leming's statement about the average wage of $76.64 per week Mr. Harsh. man pointed out that this includ ed all the cabinet ministers and their top advisers whose high sal. aries pushed up the average. Both of the representatives |demanded that the Pay Research Bureau's report to the commission be made public so that the rea- sons for the government's decision may be further analysed. was happy enough to release the previous report of the bureau when it favored the governs ment's position. That the federal employee or- ganizations are being strongly courted by organized labor was emphasized by the speeches of Tom Edwards, local labor official and Arnold Goold, regional vice president of the postal émployees. LABOR OVERTURES Mr. Gould reiterated the overs tures made bv Claade Jodoin, president of the €LC and Dave Archer of the Ontario Federation of Labor regarding the warm sup- port to be found in organized labor for the civil servants.

The assessment was set at $79,090 which would mean a tax bill of approximately $6,000. Pre- vious to the acquisition the hang- ar was crown property and as such was not taxable."

Mr, Thomas was addressing a crowd of 250 CCF supporters from Edwards said he felt something like the proverbial barren ground their seed on, He thanked all who had helped in his campaign. Mr. Thomas went on in his speech to remark that it was in- teresting to see how "comfort- able" the Conservative party at Queen's Park was with the Cana- dain Brewery Association.

Council candidates are L. Bur- tral could invite a person of the opposite sex to the dance, and this resulted in a bigger crowd than usual. HARDTIME COSTUMES The records for the dance were provided by CKLB and most of the dance was "on the air." The dress for this dance was hard- time, and some of the students really went out bv wearing old vatched jeans, rolled up to the knees, gay plaid shirts and huge straw hats. Since it was Sadie Hawkins, a lot of the girls had to pay for the evening and it was amusing to see the girls opening doors for the boys and helping them on and off with their coats. The Sadie Hawkins dance has always been loads of fun and very ful ing for Saturday evening with the minister but that he had can- celled it. Several times during the meet- ing placards bearing such in- scriptions as "'Dief holds the line -- We hold the bag," "United We Stand", and "One for All--All for One" were waved followed by bursts of applause. Addressing the meeting with Mr. Bond were E. T. Harshman, regional vice - presid of the other major organization, the Civil Service Federation; Arnold Gould, regional vice-president of the Canadian Postal Employ- ees; Jack Roberts, general sec- retary of the Canadian Postal Workers; and Thomas Edwards representing the Oshawa District Labor Council. Chairman of the meeting was John Barnes, local Join-action committee chairman. CLAIMS FAITH BROKEN Mr. Bond declared that "Oct. 18 will go down in Civil Service history as the day on which the government of Canada broke faith and betrayed its trust not only in its employees but also the people of Canada." He contended that Mr. Flem. ing was obligated to accept the recommendation of the Civil Ser- and Friday's dance was no ex- ception.

The commission, he ex- plained, is the final authority for civil servants, and when their re- commendation was refused it was not the employee's organization that Mr. Fleming had affronted but rather a responsible part of his own government, RECOMMENDATION REJECTED The association representative labor's victories and urged federal employees to attend labor meet. ings and to take advantage of the facilities offered by the unions, He also expressed the desire for many rights for government employees similar to labor's in collective bargaining. "We want our rights as citizens of Canada with full collective bargaining rights and a decent living wage. The time has come to prove to the government that we are not the second class citizens any more. We need the raise, we have the facts to prove it, and with the help of labor we will win this battle." di i Tom Edwards said simply: "We want you because we have imilar types of probl » All Seats In Contest At Darlington HAMPTON (Staff) -- Every seat on _ Darlington township council will be contested in the forthcoming municipal election.
