Steelworkers' representative Keith Ross said today that the issue concerning Thomas Smith, the maintenance employ- ee whose dismissal for refusing to work Sundays sparked a one- day wildcat strike last week, will not be on the agenda. The grievances which will be under consideration concern nine welders fired in January because they also refused to work the new schedule drawn up by the company. "Their cases are not identi- cal to Mr, Smith's," said Mr. Ross.

But George Burt, Canadian director of the United Auto Workers Union, says A. G. Stap- leton, GM's personnel director in Oshawa, definitely did make an admission the government was not very pleased. Mr. Burt said in an inter- view from Windsor today that the GM official also indicated during the meeting that GM would be faced with a penalty in the form of a back-dated border duty tax if GM does not reach) a $21,000,000 commitment it) has under the pact.

The school principals. have interviewed about 500 people during the annual search now in progress in Toronto. George Roberts, superintend- ant of secondary schools, said today there were more \prom- ising young people than in pre:| vious years, but they were still beginners. There seemed to be plenty of history teachers but English and maths teachers were in short supply, he said. It was impossible to say how many the board had secured, continued Mr. Roberts, explain- ing that some of those in whom they were interested were still "shopping around"'. There are two more week- ends of interviews, which go on through Easter week. LOYAL FOR AGES There is evidence that pre- historic man bred dogs as pets more than 7,000 years ago.

MUST SHAPE - UP OR SHIP - OUT Minimum Standards Bylaw Will Improve Housing Some dwellings will have to shape-up or ship-out when a bylaw is approved for Oshawa. The "teeth" in the bylaw, which is still being prepared, will provide for the demolition or boarding-up of sub-standard housing to prevent occupancy. However, owners will be given time to improve the quality of the housing before demolition is ordered. Dr. J. E. Watt, city super- visor of environmental sanita- tion, says that if he had the power he would order demoli- tion of several homes in the city. What restrictions the new by- law will impose haven't been decided yet nor how many dwellings it will affect. The 2 number could be geat or small depending on the severity of the regulations. One detached two - storey dwelling, consisting of two flats -- three rooms upstairs and five rooms down -- renting for $155 a month has been de- scribed by H. G. Chesebrough, city director of social services, as border - line sub-standard housing. He says the dwelling is in need of extensive repairs; ten- ants have complained about un- safe stairway conditions and lack of heat. Another house described by Mr. Chesebrough consists of five rooms and rents for $32 month- ly. He says the dwelling is an example of war-time emer- ¢ ' gency housing which has de- terioriated because of lack of constant repair. REPAIRS Repairs, it seems, would ex- ceed the worth of the house in this case, says Mr. Chese- brough. However, he points out that there are several war- time housing units in the city, tenant-owned and their condi- tion has improved over the years because of pride of ownership. Cottage - type dwellings in Cedar Valley are other exam- ples. of housing which might come under the. scope of the minimum standards bylaw. , Mr. Chesebrough says these houses were built years ago by Jewish merchants in To- ronto to provide a recreation development where older Jew- ish people could spend time away from city life. The development never ma- terialized, although some of the cottages were used while others were boarded up. There is no water or sanitary sewer system in this area and outside facilities in most cases have to' be used. The cottages are not well insulated and heat is supplied by space heaters. Mrs. Chesebrough says the general area appears in a run- down condition and seems a prime target for future de- velopment. Private owners are not the only ones at fault for maintain- washed children and others are ing sub-standard housing. Osh- awa owns many and locates welfare cases in them. Mr. Chesebrough says needy families are placed in these houses because there is just no place for them to go. He said when the minimum standards bylaw is in effect landlords may be inclined to fix their buildings rather than tear them down and more subsidized houses will have to be built and rented to aéCommodate welfare cases. Probably the most _ pro- nounced affect of poor 'housing is the filth and general untidi- ness the occupants live in. Dirty sinks, walls and floors, surplus garbage, soiled clothing, un- not uncommon in these dwell- ings. NO PRIDE Mr. Chesebrough says that it seems that people who live in this 'type of housing have no pride of, tenancy and are very poor housekeepers. He says when these people are located in better accommo- Wations quite often a housekeep- er has to be sent to educate them on how to keep a house. However, the welfare admin- istrator is quick to point out that this condition does not exist in all the homes of wel- fare cases. Many of them are "excellent" homemakers, says Mr. Chesebrough. vy - - » Clothesline 4 MINIMUM HEAT PROVIDED The spokesman said he could|222, UAW. Strung Behind }
