Roy Higson, a Local 414 rep- resentative, said today that the union seeks higher wages, an improvement in working hours, union security and welfare bene- fits. "We have been offered a three year term contract, a slight im- provement in wages, which in some cases would amount to litthe more than three cents an hour over the term of the con-) tract, and absolutely no union security." | Negotiations between company) and union began in September!

Only one-third of a cent on each quart will go to the farm- er, according to Robert Flett. The increase is reflected in the jump from $5.16 to $5.29 to be paid to farmers for 100 Ibs. of milk. | "J don't want housewives to| think the farmer is getting that two cents when he isn't," Mr. Flett said. SKIM MILK TOO William Hart, general mana- ger of Oshawa Dairy Company} Limited, sees prices rising for skim;~-chocolate and buttermilk too. Mr. Hart explained that milk to be used in the manufacture of these items has been avail- able at $2.85 per 100 Ibs. But in an order effective Jan. 16, the Ontario Milk Market- ing Board decreed that only milk priced at the $5.29 rate is to be used in these products. In reality, points out Mr. Hart the price for the milk used in these products has risen from Hike Money Mr. Hart agreed with Mr. Flett that the two cent increase is "not all related to the price of the raw product. "We have had three increas- es in labor costs alone since the last milk price rise in 1963," said Mr. Hart. "Anl we have been advised bottle and carton prices are go- ing up." COTTAGE CHEESE UP Mr. Hart said cottage cheese may still be made with milk at the lower price. But it, too, is going to cost more-- the price is being increased from $2.85 to $3.15 per 100 Ibs. i He said he expects the in-| creases to go into effect on} or. about Feb. 1. Mr. Filett said dairy farmers in this area have been "'hard pressed for some time' be- cause of what he called the "cost-price squeeze' prevalent in this area. He cited 'high' taxes, o) erating costs and labor costs. Mr. Flett said producers are optimistic that further increas- es for them will be coming following the announcement of a federal dairy policy and -dev- $2.85 per 100 Ibs. to $5.29 per 100 ibs. i elopment of plans of the pro- vincial milk marketing board.

Corporal punishment should never be used against a men- tally distrubed child, Dr. Rich- ard Shooter, psychologist attach- ed to the Oshawa Separate School Board said this week. Speaking to a meeting of the Ontario County Association for Children With Learning Disabili- ties, Dr. Shooter stressed that symptoms of a mentally dis- turbed child should be spotted by a parent. Immediate help should -- be sought from a psychologist. Cor- poral punishment, he said, will only aggravate an already dif- ficult situation. Dr. Shooter went on to out- line three main categories of mental illness in children. HABITS CHANGE The: first he called "primary behavior disorders." This could be spotted in a child, he said, by a dramatic change in regu- lar_habits. A child, he explained, would start to change his normal pat- tern of behavior and actions. The second category is the sudden appearance of illnesses, such .as fevers or headaches, that appeared to have no physi- cal caus® This category he called "psychosomatic."

This morning's fire was spot- ted by a nightwatchman just after 7.45 By the time Oshawa Fire Department arrived, the fire had a good hold on the roof. The blaze is believed to have been started by an overheated furnace, Fire Chief Ray Hobbs said. The temporary furnace, used to heat the building for con- mental disturbance.
