Authorized as Second-Class Mail, Post Office Department," Ottawa New Liskeard High School Teachers in Wage Disputes The New Liskard High School Board is faced with the problem of hiring nine new teachers be- fore the opening of school in the Fall. Dr. Russell Fleming, chairman of the New Liskeard Board of Education, is confident that the replacements will be made with- out too much difficulty. The teachers have been batt- ling against unsatisfactory wage conditions for the past three years. In January the teachers submitted a salary schedule to the Board asking for a minimum rate of $3,300, a maximum of $5,600, an annual increase of 200 for two years and $300 until the maximum had _ been reached. Early in February the Board made a counter offer with a $3,200 minimum, without current teachers receiving this raise, a maximum of $5,200 and an annual increment of $200, if merited. A short time later, after the teachers had told the Board that they had reconsidered the matter' and asked for a $3,200 minimum, a $6,000 maximum and_ yearly raises the same as in the first application. Explaining the offer, the tea- chers represented truer picture of the staff's worth than did their demands, said that the tax rate was ashigh as the rate- payers could stand. Dr. Fleming said that two have already been hire for next year and "apiplications for the posi- tion have been received in spite ef the fact that the Federation blacklisted us." also During the negotiations and salary discussion the New Lis- keard Board was divided in opin- ion regarding the demands of the teachers. Dr. S. P. Smith made a motion, seconded by Wilf Brotherhood, granting ~ the re- quested increases, was defeated. The sponsors of the motion said they had investigated the de- mands and compared to the New Liskeard schedule with that of other towns and found that this town was at the bottom of the per cent of municipalities which did not meet Federation demands. "We could have avoided all of these resignations if we had mov- ed quicker towards an agreement and I don't know where we are going to get suitable replace- ments," said Dr. Smith. Only time can provide the an- swer to this question, Try Haileyburian Want Ads Aircraft will again play a pro- minent part in the distribution of fish for the Ontario Depart- ment of Lands and Forests in their distribution program, and as many lakes as possible will be stocked by dropping the fish from the air. This modern method of transportation speeds up the distribution to a great extent. Last year 54,000 gpeck- led trout were planted in one day. This number is quite an improvement over the average of 3,000 per day when a truck was used. The. aircraft also eliminates a great dea] of the back breaking work of earrying fish in jack cans from the road to the lake to be stocked.

Many small devices serve behind the scene. Consider the fuse. Tiny and inexpensive, yet it is a precision built safeguard, installed to prevent damage which might result from overloading circuits.
