Charge Delay In Signing Of Contract Charges that the Oshawa Board of Education was delay- ing the signing of a union con- tract were made at a meeting of the Oshawa and District Labor Council Tuesday. Douglas Lindsay, representa- tive o° Local 18, National Union of Public Service Employees, said that the board has been sitting on a contract with his union for two months. Mr. Lind- say said that a conciliation of- ficer approved by the board ad settled the contract at the end of June and that no action had been taken since. "They are shoving the work- ers around," he said, "'look at all the people in this city pay- ing union dues yet we have only one labor member on the board, we vote all those Tories and Grits into office.' Mr. Lindsay said that the con- tract starting date was Jan. 1 this year. He pointed out that $100 of an agreed $200 retroac- tive pay increase had been re- ceived by the 60 employees be- fore the vacation began "The board is knocking the tar out of us,"" Mr. Lindsay told labor council, "'we are working a four hour day each Saturday which is not recognized by the contract and we will not be paid for it." "Let the- people of Oshawa know how the businessmen and lawyers on the board are treat- ing us," he continued. "Labor Council should take some action to get the Board off its 'board'." Labor council approved a mo- tion that the executive of the council investigate the situation and determine if any action can atives of the East-West Beach Parents Group following our meeting 1963, wishe: know 'Corporation of the Town of Bowmanville for children other than -thoses physically handi- capped. er has been made aware of all board to take whatever steps OSHAWA (Staff) -- The Osh- awa and District Labor Council Tuesday night leaped to the side of Bowmanville Beach parents, It pledged its full sup- port to the cause of obtaining school buses for the area and ripped the attitude and stand taken by the Bowmanville Pub- lic School Board. Keith 'Ross, secretary of the council, attacked the school board. "Any man who puts himself up for public office as a school trustee must take on responsib- ity, not only for the education of the children but also for their safety. "The Bowmanville School Board has tried to slough off this responsibility and put the whole load on the parents. They have not accepted their respon- sibility. TH#ey have been asked to help in a problem and all they. have given is lip service. Mr. Ross then blasted the au- thors of the following letter which was received by the par- ents from the board Tuesday af- ternoon. TEXT OF LETTER "The Bowmanville Public School Board, having had no of- ficial response from the repre- Thursday, Sept. 5, s each parent to that the decision of the no transpor- within the limits of the "The school attendance offic- aspects of the situation. "The Supervising Principal has been requested by the are required under the depart- ment of education regulations to see that all children return to school with a minimum of delay. "The board feels it would be wise to point out at this time that the failure to comply with the regulations regarding school attendance could result in legal action being taken and might involve the discontinuance of payment of family allowances. Any action of this nature would be as disagreeable to the Board as to you, "Tt is the earnest hope of each member of this board that any undesirable action of this nature will hot be necessary." The letter was signed by board secretary-treasurer, Stu- art R. James, on behalf of the Bowmanville Public School Board. CRY DISGRACE "That is the most disgraceful letter I have ever heard", charged Mr. Ross, 'Whoever composed it ought to hang his head in shame. I cry disgrace on anyone who would affix his sig- nature to that letter. "Pay no attention to that 'fear campaign' that they are trying to throw at you. Just let them try to cut off your family allowance, "We are not living in Rus- sia. We live in. a democratic country where the people have rights and are not to be forced into submission with.threats. "You are keeping your chil- dren out .of school, not by choice, but by necessity. Don't give in. We will go to the board for another meeting, and we will go with you to Queen's Park if you want us to." TO MEET OFFICIALS A delegation of parents, along with Harry Ashton, NDP candi- date for Durham riding, will meet with officials of the De- partment of Education at Queen's Park Thursday morn- ing at 10.00 a.m., it was dis- closed last night. It was moved that either Mr. Ross or Council President Cliff Pilkey attend with the group. It was further moved that the school board be notified that an- other meeting with it on the problem is desired. _The executive of the labor council was given power to act on any issue which might come up on the situation in the en- suing weeks. Mary Peterson, speaking for the 40 to 50 parents in the dele- gation, described their plight to the members of the council, She described the distance the children had to walk (maxi- mums of 2.1 miles from the East Beach and 2.6 miles from the West Beach) and the dan- gers..encountered on the way (CNR *railway tracks, Highway 401 and the lack of sidewalks). She told them about the situ- ation last year (the parents paid Burley Bus Lines $1 per child per week for transporta- tion to school. The busline has contended that the proposition did not pay in the spring be- cause. "children stopped using the bus'). TIMES HAVE CHANGED Malcolm Smith, former pres- ident of Local 222, UAW, ac- cused the people of Bowmanville of "'living in the dark ages"', "It was different 60 to 70 years ago," he said. "There were no buses then so people had to walk to school, In this lay and age the transportation is available and the children should have access to it. There were no superhighways back then either. The hazards weren't there. "It is a tragic state of affairs if a child has to be killed going to school before that school board down there will do any- Labor Council Backs School Bus Campaign "And as for Burley,' con- tinued Keith Ross, "we are familiar with his methods. He destroyed the labor movement's attempt to organize his com- pany." Mrs. Peterson told the council the school board gave "'lack of funds" as its reason for not assisting in the obtaining of a school bus. CAN SEEK LEVY "That is nonsense," said Tom Edwardg, first vice-president of the council, and member of the Whitby Public School Board. "School boards are supposed to allow for emergencies. If they do not have the money now they can go to the town and ask for a levy." James Lownie, an executive of Local 222, chided the parents for "dickering with the Tories and Liberals that I am sure that school board is comprised of". He was informed by Mr. Pilkey the Conservative candi- date for Durham, Alex Car- ruthers, had refused to take any action on the matter "ex- cept in conjunction with the school board", "T should think that a man running for public office would show more responsibility,' he commented. "I would suggest that Mr. Carruthers lend his support, as a private citizen, accompany our delegation to Queen's Park on Thursday," said Keith Ross: The council was told that some of the parents had to pay up to $5 per week last year to send their children on the bus. "I feel that the government should subsidize these people," said executive member Doug Lindsay. "It seems that the more children they have the smaller the chance that any of them will receive an education. "Let the government or the school board supply a bus or let them' put a school down there. "Five dollars per week is a hell of a lot of money," CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS Congratulations and best wishes to the following resi- dent of Oshawa and dis- trict who is celebrating his birthday today: ~ Master Breen Duggan, 1281 Meadowvale.

The gate-valve ties in a 12-inch feeder main on King street with a 10-inch service main on Simcoe street. which was installed in 1905, This valve makes it possible to con- trol water flow in the network ~ of pipes in case of emerge i- cy. The 10-inch, north-south main can be seen at the top of the picture. The 12-inch main is already buried. Three re- tainer glands can be seen in the picture, bolted to the valve and elbow flanges.
