| The supervisory teaching staft met with Oshawa Board of Edu- cation Monday night, to present to the board thei: proposals for maximum and minimum salaries of supervisors, and assistant su- pervisors of "arts and crafts, music, physical health and safety education, and primary reading and speech correction. In presenting their proposals, the supervisorv staff noted that city classrooms had increased from 164 in 1954 to 202 at present, The first proposal was that di- rectors and supervisors should be paid $250 for each group of 25 olassrooms, and $250 for each ad- ditional group o. 25 classrooms, to a maximum of $8,000, for respon- sibility allowance, in addition to basic salary. PROPOSED SCALE The proposa! read that, using 200 classrooms as the basic figure, the responsibility allowance, {should be $2,000, adding that at |the rate of $200 per annual incre- ment, it would take ten years to Supervisory Teachers State Salary Demands their salaries should be based on |qualifications, experience and re- sponsibility, not of expediency. {VERY DIFFERENT DUTIES T. W. Cotie, spokesman for the | supervisory staff pointed out to | the board members that the duties of the staff are very different! from those of class teachers, in {that supervisors have to teach adults to teach children, He point- ed out that a great amount of diplomacy and tact is required in| this duty. | In reply to a question by A. E O'Neill, he outlined. briefly, the duties of the supervisory staff, who have the position of experts in their various fields, Mr. O'Neill said that there would almost certainly be an out- cry from class teachers, and prin- cipals, if the proposal were grant- ed in full, to which Mr. Hood added, "What about the taxpay- ers, who pay the bills?", "My great concern" Mr. O'Neill said, "is the classroom teacher who is the base and cop- ing stone of oui education system. 1 think if this were granted they would become very disgruntled," Dr. C. M. Elliott interjected: "These supervisors and directors are specialists They are worth their weight in gold I realise that the board does not have that much gold, therefore, the question is, how much can you afford to guiding the class teachers in in- structing their pupils. He said, |that the supervisor arranges his| time-table to coincide with the timetables of the various schools he visits. Stephen G. Saywell. chairman of the finance ~ommittee, presid- ing over the meeting, suggested | that the amounts asked were ex-| pay them?" Chairman Saywell said that the board has never been niggardly, in deaiing with staff, but added that any increase should be grad- ual "not this much in one slap", he said 'the people would nol stand for it". Closing the discussion, he said, reach this figure, and eight years at the rate of $300 per annual in- crement, The first proposal con- cluded by requesting that super- visors and directors 'be paid the maximum of $7,600 as the school y tremely high, and further sug-|"I do not want the supervisory gested that a system could be staff to leave this room with the worked out whereby the increase feeling that we do not appreciate could be applied gradually. ithem, but we have to take a ABOVF HIGHEST PRINCIPAL [matter like this step by step.

Dedication Is Continued The meeting at Calvary Bap- tist Church Monday night was preceded by a song service led by J. Hooper. Rev. C. M. Keen opened the meeting with prayer. The _soloist was Mrs. George Delaney singing "In Him." Many visitors from out of the city were present, Rev. R. Guthrie, pastor of Bethel Baptist: Church, Orillia, Rev. Corbett from Faith Baptist | Church in Whitby and Rev. Searle from Lindsay, were among those from out of town. Rev. L. Mitchell from Gibbon Street Baptist Church, Oshawa, was also pres- ent, Pastor Mitchell led in prayer. He was presented with a cheque, in gratitude for their hospitality to the congregation of the church while the present building was being built, It was presented by the chairman of the board of management, E.-B. Jackson. The speaker, Rev. J. R. Arm-| strong, expressed his thankful-| ness to God for the building in which the congregation now meets. He spoke from Psalm 126. He said, "When the Lord turned again the captivity of Calvary Captist Church, we were them that dream." He expressed the theft until she checked her redecoration, alterations, repairs, how the building was not put up for show but that men, women, boys and girls might come to know the Lord as their own per- sonal Saviour, God works in mysterious ways, His wonders to erform."

The proposals were left in the THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Tuesday, Februssy 18, 1987 § Operation Of Parking Meters Is Curtailed Evening Charge Period Reduced By Three Hours Parking meter payment time in the City of Oshawa will now be changed to 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., from the present 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. deadline, This change was adopt- ed by city council Monday night, In one of its most controversial debates this year, almost all alderman voiced firm opinions on the change, extending council time for almost an hour over the 11 p.m. deadines A week ago, Oshawa downtown theatre owners sent a petition to city council, asking to eliminate the inconvenience to patrons, to renew parking meter time for their cars during evening shows. Information, supplied by the traffic committee, shows 680! parking meters in Oshawa at| present, Of these, 65 are half-hour meters in the immediate vicinity of the four corners. Off-street mu- nicipal parking lots account for 209 more, with the rest of the meters divided between 207 two- hour and 199 one-hour meters. Ald. Albert V. Walker, speaking for the traffic committee, brought in a recommendation, to revert to the 9 to 6 deadline for one- and two-hour meters only. Half hour meters and municipal parking lot units were recommended to be left unchanged. MUCH CRITICISM Ald. Walker stressed, that since the new 9 am. to 9 p.m. limit went into effect early this year, several members of the traffic committee underwent undue criti- hands of the board, which will dis- cuss the matter further before preventing the supervisory staff with its decision. | Service Station Permit Causes Much Controversy city was Considerable discussion, at council Monday night, Oil Ltd., Co : ct a service station of Wentworth and Imperial Ald.

Baird, who told the court that he had come to Oshawa in search of work, stated that he had been boarding at 154 King street west, .when the offences occurred. Henry Braund, 60, of the same address, told the court that the accused had been in his room and had taken $3 from a trunk, which was kept under a bed. He said he noticed the money missing when he looked for his razor in the morning. Baird also admitted breaking into the Mayfair Grill, on King street west and taking a quantity of cigarettes, and $3 in change from a juke box. Mrs. C.

"Anyone intimating the reason for the 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. deadline to be raising of more money, should pack his bag and go home," said Ald. Walker. 'The logical reasons that prompted the original change are still in effect today." The theatre owners' petition had brought an avalanche of words, said Ald. Walker and the committee weighed every side carefully. "As servants of the people, however," he sald, "we feel that the wishes of the public should be attended to." who painted a picture of confu- sion among Oshawa residents. Cars would be cruising around the downtown streets looking for a place on the street to park, rather than to try a parking lot, she said. FAVORS UNIFORMITY Ald.

Change In Lot Sought On Kaiser Crescent Reconsideration of the decision regarding the frontage of lots to be sold by the city on Kaiser crescent, was asked by V. J. Mc- Adam in a petition before city council Monday night. The matter was referred to the property com- mttee. According to recommendation by the Oshawa Planning Board, approved by city council last week, two lots will be sold on Kaiser crescent with a frontage of up to 180 feet, or not less than 170 feet each, with the remainder retained for the right-of-way to city-owned property in the rear. Mr. McAdam, appearing before council on his own behalf, asked for re-consideration into a pos- sible three lots with 55 feet of| frontage each. With 60 feet of frontage for the north lot suggested by Mr. Me- |Adam as alternative, he stressed |that the long frontage would put | unnecessary hardship on him, in |the way of taxes. | with the city's policy of serving | Thomas.

He claimed that, by verbal agree- ment with City Assessment Com- missioner W. E. Kerr, the lot had been offered to him at a cost of less than $40 per foot last year. Ald. John W. Dyer tried to establish conclusively, by whom Mr. McAdam had been informed of the possibility to purchase a 55 foot lot. Ald. Dyer suggested a frontage of 60 feet with a depth of 100 feet, subject to Mr. McAdam's willing- | ness to have the matter revert to the planning board for further | consideration. Mr. McAdam agreed to the| depth suggested by Ald. Dyer, as| not paramount in the assessment | and tax burden.

Walter Lane, le s a a compromise of 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. as solution to the problem. He pointed to the costly operation of lights and buffeting strips at parking lots, as well as to the need for parking space rationing as a reason for the compromise. "Those two hours should work financially," he said, 'and make the downtown parking area a working proposition." NOT HARD UP He in turn was criticized Ald. Norman Down, who sug, Xd ed that the city was not that hard up for money to rely on the few nickels taken in after 6 p.m. Ald. Lane then pointed to the example of Toronto as a sound business proposition, but was in turn challenged by Ald. Thomas, who claimed the figures to be in- correct in most instances. Ald. Dyer, in stressing his su port of the 9 am. to oe) pr form deadline, mentioned the cost to the city of changing meter plates as $1,476.50. "This is not to be sneezed at," sald Ald. Dyer, "and I am just wondering what the cost will be to put them back on again or whatever will have to be done." Ald, Dyer explained his con- tinued support of the 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. limit, and expressed doubts as to the feasibility of the three shifts in parking time, as pro- posed by the traffic committee. "We'll move from the fry an into the fire," he sald, "in oing that." ARGUE OVER MINUTES After a short hassle betweea Ald. Thomas and Ald. Dyer om the correctness of traffic adviso) gouncil minutes, which Al omas termed 'harping on i | past", the problem was up by Ald, Walker and Ald. Wal- ter Branch. Ald. Walker pointes out, that all objections had be sefully con. sidered by the namittes; that the compromise reached felt to be the best solution pos- sible at the present time. Ald. Dr. J.

Oshawa Sounds Becoming Daily More Metropolitan Just like in a large metropoli-| tan city, life in Oshawa not only grows more complicated each] day, it sounds more complicated--| in the literal sense of the word,| from the insistent 'honk, honk" of car horns to the strident calls of the odd ship whistles in the lo- cal harbor. The kind of noises playing hav- oc with city dwellers' ears--t say nothing of their nerves--are al- most limitless. Take whistles, for instance. | A whistle, the Webster diction- ary says, is "an instrument used to produce a more or less shrill note".
