Average weekly hours work- ed were 43.6 and average hourly earnings were $2.65. A resolution asking the On- tario Separate School Trustees' Association to outlaw the prac- tice of "pink listing" by the On- tario English Catholic Teach- ers' Association, was approved last night by the Oshawa Sep- arate School Board. Introduced by Trustee Dr. George Sciuk, the resolution condemns the 'pink listing" practice as "unfair". It states that "Elected trust- ees will rarely gamble with the trusted to their care.

Nurses training, ranging from elementary nursing rules to advanced psychiatric nursing, was outlined by members of the hospital's nursing staff. A Heath - Robinson contrap- tion -- a circoelectric bed--was puzzled over by visitors to the display, The bed is suspended between two circular metal sup- ports and can describe a full eircle. The electrically operated de- vice enables any patient to lie vertically or horizontically -- facing the ceiling or floor. It is used constantly at the OGH-- mainly by patients who cannot move from side to side without great pain. Another display outlined the! cause and treatment of dia- betes.

He said the floodlighting will cost an esti- mated $2,000. Budget OK'd thing to put before the Oshawa by the OECTA." Dr. years ago when negotiations with the teachers broke down and: the federation was called in, the federation threatened to; either comply with its salary demands or be pink listed. "Pink listing" is a procedure followed by the OECTA against a board that has not come to a salary agreement with its ne- gotiating committee. If a board is 'pink listed", every teacher in the province is ordered to refrain from sign- ing a contract with the board involved 'under the penalty of loss of their teaching certificate and all teachers under con- tract to the board are ordered to resign under the same pen- alty." "T think this is a dreadful inable practice of pink listing Sciuk said that- three Separate School Board," said Trustee Mrs, Winona Clarke. "It is taking away: the right of the teachers to negotiate. I want ino part of it." Also speaking against the re- solwtion, Trustee Terence O'Con- nor said "it can't be done". "You're suggesting something that is morally wrong --_tak- ing away the teachers' right to strike. "I'm convinced we're blessed with the' teachers we have and I think this is taking a slap at them, especially since negotia- tions have already been com- pleted."' Trustee Michael Rudka said the teachers' right to bargain was not being taken away by the resolution, "'but I can't see where a teacher who sees fit to work for a board that has been pink listed should have his li- cence taken away." Senior School System Approved By By a close 5-4 vote, Oshawa Separate School board decided last night to institute a senior school system effective Sept. 1. First item on the manage- ment committee report was a recommendation to institute a senior school at St, Joseph's school to provide accommoda- tion for all grade 7 and 8 pupils controlled by - the boundaries governing St. Christopher's, St. Gregory's and St. Joseph's ele- mentary school. Speaking against the recom- mendation, Trustee Jack Law- rence said the board was get- ting ahead of itself. "We've just got our boundary problems solved and now we're going to go all over the city again,"' he said. 59 Board Sister Agnes Teresa said the push behind senior schools is "academic." . She said she checked all the grade 8 classes and found that most of them already have stu- dents coming from outside the boundaries, "so- distance would be no great problem." Trustee Mrs. Winona Clarke said it is "a wonderful progres- sive step for the Separate School Board." In favor of the recommenda- tion were Trustees Dr. George Sciuk, Ivan Wallace, Terence O'Connor, Ernest Marks and Mrs. Clarke. Against were trus- tees Jack Lawrence, Frank Baron, Anthony Meringer and Michael Rudka. 'Good To Get Stuff Out Of System' Tredwell has donated to Cross blood clinics -- five times The Farewell avenue resident has given almost 150 bottles of blood in 22 years. Way back in 1945 he was presented with a plaque honoring his 20th dona- tion by the Earl of Athlone, Can- presentation was made the than two years, gone on records here and in the Maritimes. "It does you good to get the old stuff out of the system," he says, "just as you clean out a car engine. Besides, I have never felt any ill effects." Mr. Tredwell, owner of a King street east snack bar, started to give blood in his home town of Halifax during the war years. "I served in a coastal defence during the war and thought that giving my blood would be an- other way to help the war effort."' Mr. Tredwell and his wife Lila, another champion blood donor, came to Oshawa from Red 20th Nova Scotia seven years ago. "Lila hasn't done quite as well as me," Mr. Tredwell said, 'she has given about' 57 bottles of blood since 1946. "That's pretty good woman," he stated. Both the Tredwells used to give blood frequently but have slowed down a little now. "I went to the blood clinic about every six weeks," Mr. Tredwell said, "now I stay about the two- three months mark." The donation made by Mr. Tredwell since the days in Hali- fax have gained a wall full of plaques from the Red Cross. "Blood means a lot to people for a who are sick," he said, "and Tf find it easy to give it. As long as the supply builds up I am willing to carry on." His 144th contribution to Can- ada's health will be made today at the monthly blood donor clin- ic held in the city. The clinic . will be held, as usual, at St. Gregory's auditorium, on Sim- coe street north. ' Robert Stroud, clinic chair- man, said that the hours of at- tendance have been set at from 1,30 to 4.30 p.m. and from 6 to 9 p.m. "The Red Cross is proud of donors like Mr. Tredwell -- but we still need more record breakers."
