Of this total 1,773,581 pounds was clas- sed as standard fluid and spe- cial fluid quality. The purchases represented a cost of $98,061 to the dairies. Sales of fluid milk in the zone during November totalled 634,699 quarts quarts in November, 1958 and 727, 397 quarts in October 1959. Sales of fluid cream totalled 18,186 quarts in November last year. This compared with 14,997 quarts in November 1958 and 20,794 quarts in October, 1959. The report states that sales of skim milk last November totalled 55,628 quarts. Sales in October, 1959, amounted to 55,580 quarts as compared with 47,600 quarts in November 1958. .

Under today's conditions, | bargaining usually leads to heav- fer cost than a business approach. | "While it would seem better to accept the least costly approach, this does not imply that manage- ment lacks the means to exercise some influence over this situa- tion. Management has control over the conditions of employ- ment which produces the problem - creating frustrations: management can control the channels of communications # |through which company policy and practice are conveyed. Man- agement can do more than any other agency to get at the basis for grievances and management can, by its manner of dealing with union officers, create a busi- ness-like climate." W'SH FOR SECURITY Ir. Stapleton said the em- ployee is motivated by a wish for security, the wish for recognition, the wish for new experience and the wish for affectionate re- sponse. At the same time dissat- isfaction and discontent serve to promote social and economic progress: But it is when the ef- fort to reduce or eliminate dis- satisfaction fails that frustration enters the picture and the per- Turning his attention to man.|jection of a union request is liable agement, Mr. Stapleton said: "In|to be thought of as a part of a our economy, the owners of property are responsible for ini- tiating, organizing and directing the business enterprises that pro- |vide us with goods and services. |They are induced to accept this) |responsibility by the prospect of| profit. At one time the functions of ownership and management were combined in one person. Today, however, ownership in the case of large enterprises has be- come widely diffused and the function of management has pass- ed into the hands of those who |have relatively little if any own- ership interest, but who have a responsibility - for the effective and efficient operation of the enterprises with which they are employed. These professional managers are themselves em- ployees. They are judged by, and their prospects of advancement depend upon, the profitability of the enterprises they serve. "Any threat to the profitable operation of an enterprise or any limitation of authority deemed {necessary to administer the af- fairs of the enterprise is regard- ed by management as a threat to security and as a potential plan to weaken, if not destroy, {the union, even though the rejec- {tion may be an exercise of sound business judgment. The very lan- guage which unionists employ is an expression of a conflict men- Itality. Collective bargaining is generally described as a struggle or as a battle to win. It is un usual to hear collective bargain- ing described as a business trans- action. A concession from an em- ployer is a victory, while failure to gain a point is a defeat to be offset at the next opportunity. In the same general vein, unions do not attach the same importance to the money costs involved in labor strife that management oes." MANAGEMENT'S AIMS "Management's primary objec- |jective is to operate at a profit, not to wage war on unions, Cer- tainly industrial warfare is just as wasteful as military warfare. It is also true that collective bar- gaining almost always results is adding to business costs. The problem which management has to assess, then, is not whether costs will be increased but wheth. er the costs of negotiating an barrier to professional tion."

'Woodview Park To Hold Election | The Woodview Neighborhood Association held its final meeting of the 1959 season this past week- end, in order to clear the way for their 1960 election night which will be held in the Woodview Com- munity Centre on Wednesday, Feb. 10, at 8 p.m. The entertainment committee was instructed to plan another night of cards for Wednesday, Feb. 24, at the clubhouse and if enough response is received, this will probably be a regular event |for the rest of the winter months.

Rule Husband In Control Of Auto Confusion arose during the trial over what charge that was being dealt with, Sgt. H. J. King, desk sargeant when the accused was booked, first said Carlin locked up for being drunk. Then he changed his testimony to drunk driving. The accused said the charge was never read to him. Terrence Kelly, counsel for the accused, said that Carlin had been charged with drunk driving| "but since we are in Ontario County it was changed". Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck, contended that the 'charge was read as care and control of a motor vehicle while impaired. Sgt.

The Oshawa Board of Educa- tion decided. at a meeting Mon- day night, that they would dis- cuss the question in caucus when they meet to discuss trustees' conventions. Dr, C. M. Elliott, superinten- dent of public school education, said if the board felt it a good investment it could justify heads of departments going to confer- ences. If the board were to sanction teacher going to conferences, he wondered what expenses they would be allowed or whether they would be given a per diem al- lowance, similar to that given to CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS Congratulations and best wishes to the follwing resi- dents of Oshawa and district who are celebrating birth- days today: Donna Allman. 84 Oshawa Blvd. south: Reginald Me- Intyre, 106 Elgin St. east; Cheryl Young, 741 Rowena street; Robert John Bishop, 40 Simcoe street north: John Poch, 429 Ritson road north; Mrs. Mervyn Bobier, 12 Glad- stone avenue: Ray Wilson, 921 Ritson road north: Jim McKnight, 538 Cubert street; Bud Macko, 187 King street East; Paula Blangar, 246 Louisa street: John Skelton, 62 Thomas street: Richard Stata, 98 Bruce street; Donna Pipher, Gerrard road: Ste- phen Newnham, 1342 Sharbot street; 'Mrs, Joyce Howsam, RR 3.
