J. Beau- champ presented the board Thursday with a report on alterations and repairs needed at St. Joseph's Separate School, on Simcoe street north. The building was constructed in 1958 with an addition in 1962. Mr. Beauchamp said that the following conditions were seen in the elementary school dur- ing several tours of inspection: Water penetrating walls where roof flashing is faulty; draughts from faulty windows; deterior- ation in foundation walls; and an unsatisfactory heating con- trol system. The senior school has loose ceiling tiles in the gymnasium and in the connecting corridor between the two buildings where the ventilation system is also faulty, Water penetra- tionand cracks in the founda- tion walls were also seen by Mr. Beauchamp. Severe erosion in the grounds and changes in grade levels which do not permit some areas to be properly drained, graded or maintained were also reported. Mr. Beauchamp's report was received and forwarded to the property committee for study. Library Union OK'd By Board TORONTO (Special) -- The Ontario Labor Relations Board has certified the Canadian Union Of Public Employees to repre-|2°*'* gent all employees of the Osh- fiwa public library board, except assistant chief librarian and per- sons above the rank of chief librarian. The Board has also certified the UAW to represent all em- lployees of Hogan Pontiac Buick Limited at Oshawa, except office staff and other designated exceptions. Nun Instruction Needed: Trustee The need for religious instruc- tion by members of religious jorders in Oshawa _ separate |schools was stressed Thursday at the meeting of the Separate School Board. Trusiee Terence said that two schools _ St. Philip's and St. Francis's, did not have nuns as teachers of religion. 'Cannot something be done about this?" he asked. "I move that we write to the teaching orders asking for more teachers for our schools," Trustee Michael Rudka said. "When our schools are beside the churches 'they have visits from the parish priest but schools away from churches, and without members of reli- |gious orders, means that. the jchild has no contact with the O'Connor |church during the school week." , Pitiful meows could be heard from the top of a hydro pole on Sun Valley Court today, The mournful sounds came from "Fluff," year- old pet kitten of 'Mr. and Mrs. Fred Illig. "Fluff" has been perched on the crossbar of the pole for the last four days-- hungry, shivering from the cold, but too scared to come down. Mr. Illig said he called the fire department, police, the dog pound SPCA and Public Utilities Commission YEAR-OLD KITTEN UP POLE ON LIQUID DIET OF SNOW unable to get anyone to help him get the kitten down. "We even tried to knock Fluff off the pole with snow- balls," he said, "but with- out success," He said the kitten was so hungry and thirsty it ate the snow that lodged on the crossbar. Stanley Mitchell, a part- time inspector with the Osh- awa branch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, was expected to rescue "'fluff"' later today with his specially-designed cat retrieving pole. The safety needs of school children in rush-hour traffic was stressed Thursday by Constable William Tane, traffic safety offi- cer with the Oshawa Police De- partment. P C Tane told a meeting of the Separate School Board that pupils from some schools are released in time to catch rush- hour traffic from General Motors Ltd., and other plants. "This is something which af- fects the public school system as well," he said, "I think that the two school boards and GM should get together in an effort to iron out the problem. "I would be happy to see the public schools adopt the sep- arate school hours,' PC Tane stated. Trustee Michael- Rudka sug- gested that a study of rush-hour traffic and school closing times could be done. "This can be done by the city traffic engineering department, and the report will be forwarded to the board," PC Tane sug- gested Catholic Board Trustees OK Extra Crossing Duty He recommended that school crossing guards spend more time on the job. "Some of the children don't go to and from school strictly according to the hours laid down, and I think that the guards should be there for a few minutes earlier in the morning and at lunchtime to see the kids across safely," he added. The board approved his recommendation that the guards ve on duty for an extra ten min- utes in the morning and at lunch hour. PC Tane also suggested that pedestrian-actuated traffic sig- nals would not be suitable for school crossings. "You will al- ways get the. child who will not wait," he said. 'I would rather see a reduced speed limit in school zones. "I can't think of anything which would be more effective in reducing accidents," PC Tane said, "They have this in Metropolitan Toronto, why not here." The Oshawa Separate School board Thursday again turned down a plea from the Oshawa Safety League that children help finance a trip to Ottawa for some safety patrollers. Jim Feltis, the league chair- mah, spoke on a decision made at a previous meeting that school safety patrollers not be allowed to sell specially mark- ed chocolate bars as a fund- raising venture, The money raised was to have helped send the top patrollers to the yearly jamboree held in Ottawa. "Your decision has really left us high and dry to a_ point where we don't know what we are going to do about the Sepa- rate School children," he said. He added that approximately $700 would have to be raised to send some 17 separate school patrollers to the three-day jam- boree, 'I don't approve of the idea myself," said Mr. Feltis. "I don't see why we _ should send just a few on a three-day trip." "That is one of the reasons $3,000,000 School Largest In City ex- , various students education groups, § as The idea for the new school was developed three years ago, while school officials have been working steadily on plans for two and a half years.

Bodnaryk of Oshawa before Walker Advocates Cities Benefits Cost Act Amendment Would Cost Oshawa $200,000 A Municipal Act amendment advocated in the Ontario Legis lature today by Albert V. Walk- er, if approved, could cost the City of Oshawa about $200,000 a year, Ald. Hayward Murdoch said today, Mr, Walker, Oshawa riding member, said the Act should be amended to give municipali- ties the right to opt. out of the provision in the Act which per- mits them to pay only 50 per cent of certain fringe bene- fit costs. Ald. Murdoch, - chairman of council's labor relations com- mittee, said if the amendment was approved and the Oshawa council decided to opt out and pay 100 per cent of the benefit cost, it would amount to about $200,000 a year, almost one mill. Speaking in the budget de- bate, Mr. Walker pointed out that Section 377 of the Municipal Act permits councils to pass bylaws for providing group life insurance, accident insurance, medical services and hospital care insurance for employees. their wives or husbands an children, but "no bylaw... shall authorize contributions by the municipality in excess of the total of those made by the employees." "In other words, said Mr, Walker, "under this section, no municipality is permitted to pay "more than 50 per cent of this type of fringe benefits to municipal employees, and col- lective bargaining in these areas is completely stymied from the civic employee stand- point, - 'In many of our major urban centres today the trend in in- dustry is to fully-paid insurance, medical benefits for employees and their families, through the medium of their collective bar- gaining agreements," he con- tinued, EMPLOYEES ARE DENIED "Because of this section of the Act, the municipal employ- ees are denied their lawful right of collective bargaining in this particular area, "Under this situation, munici- pal council representatives are sitting back, with tongue in cheek, telling the municipal em- ployees they would like to up ALBERT WALKER because the Act forbids it, and we, the government, are the rap," said Mr. Walker. Ald, Murdoch said the matter has been coming up with pd larity -- the civic unions as! -- the city to pick up the extra per cent cost of benefits. "We have been telling the unions that it's against the Act and that we, as a labor relations committee, have to abide by the Act," said Ald. Murdoch, 'The committee is charged with the duty of being employers in deal- ing with the unions." Mr. Walker said municipal council representatives should be made to accept their respon- sibility in this area and should "be responsible for. their own bargaining and. most rrgory 4 the Municipal Act should not permitted to be used as a bar- gaining agent." Many municipalities would not agree with this suggestion, "be- cause it places them in a some- what enviable position during their discussions with em- ployees," he went on, Civic employees 'generally have reasonably good working conditions and cordial 'relations with their municipal' em-+ ployers," said Mr, Walker, "but many of our civic employee groups feel they are being dis- their payments in the fringe benefit area, but cannot do so criminated hs cron in their col- os ig by these sec- tions." City Blood Appeal Falls Short By 12 Donations Oshawa citizens _ responded vesterday to. the urgent call of the Canadian Red Cross Society and gave 488 pints of blood. However, 11 persons were re- jected which would have brought the total just one short of the 500 objective. the Red Cross blood donor clinic in Oshawa for the last seven years, said the turnout was "excellent' and that there is now enough. blood in the bank to see them through the month, But the need will arise again Robert Stroud, chairman of he gave a pint at last night's Red Cross blood donor clinic.
