May Change Schools Gerald Lami, a father of five, who has fought a school bus transportation problem for five years, said today 'it doesn't pay to be a Catholic if you consider the transportation problems." Mr. Lami said he will re- move his children from St. Joseph's school and enrol them in Coronation public school if the school board doesn't find a solution. A GM_ night-shift worker, Mr. Lami's truck has_ not transported about 15 children to the school for the past two days because he was stopped by an inspector of the depart- ment of transport who "pointed out the law' to him. A spokesman of the depart- ment said today the truck does not have the required alternat- ing signals or school bus sign. He also said the driver does not have a public vehicle licence. "The inspector did not tell him he couldn't drive the bus is not complying with the high- way traffic act and the public vehicle act," said the depart- ment spokesman, CAR CROWDED "Driving all the children to school in one car is more dangerous as far as I'm con- cerned,"' said Mr. Lami. "It's too crowded even with two trips and you have to consider insurance." One of the six par- ents has assumed the job of transporting the children to school, Mr. Lami said he applied two years ago for a_ public vehicle. licence but all the paper work '"'discouraged" him and he gave up. "The separate school board gave me a flat no when I ask- ed for a letter stating that they were aware that I was driving the children to school,' said Mr. Lami. "I needed it to get the permit. Mr. Lami said a city bus company drove the 15 children to school for two weeks and but he reminded him that he then "refused to do it because Further Talks Scheduled In Dispute At City Plant Talks between union and management in the Oshawa En- gineering dispute remain at a stalemate, a labor department spokesman said today.

Fumes Fill Wing Of Whitby School WHITBY (Staff) -- About 35 students at the Anderson Street High School in Whitby headed for home this morning when toxic paint fumes filled the south wing of the school.

"We want our kids to have a Catholic education so I made sure I worked a night shift to drive them," said Mr. Lami. "I sleep between the two drives." $10 PROFIT He said he clears a $10 a week profit for driving about 10 miles a day, five days a week. "It's hopeless for the parents to drive them because they all work days," said Mr. Lami. "We want the board to buy or provide a bus for the children." He says the parents of the St. Joseph school children will meet Sunday in an attempt to solve the problem. The board will consider the problem at an executive meeting tonight, he said. "Private bus lines are not in- terested in servicing us and we're five miles from the city limits," said Mr. Lami. The manager of Burley Bus Lines said today a bus cannot be run for about 15 people without financial loss. "The buses in the area are already full and we can't put an extra one on for that num- ber of people," he said. "It's not my fault they go to a sepa- rate school, why don't they go to the public one."

PLANT FACILITIES NOT OFFERED POLITICIANS BACK PROPOSAL M Painters Pushing For On-The-Job Training Scheme By JOHN LeBLANC JR. of The Times Staff Three automotive painters have just had their easel upset after dabbling for more than four months at a plan to coun- ter-act possible layoffs in the city. But, several politicians and other officials have appraised as a masterpiece the on-the-job training idea of the trade union trio. However, GM _ has_ turned down in-plant education pro- posed by the special three-man paintshop committee that has also mustered support from more than 100 GM workers. Not all are from the painting division, but at least 85 are, and the balance work in affili- ated plant departments. AUTOMATION The committee was formed in the face of a coming auto- mated paint process at GM which Robert Spencer, group chairman and a 12-year union committeeman, says could re- sult in a layoff of probably up| to 100 workers, or more. | Mr. Spencer says GM is gear- ing up for the new acrylic lac- quer system to replace the enamel spray painting method, entirely by 1969, and that the study group has been looking over the chance of using new company equipment to upgrade workers who want to be "part of the change either inside or outside GM".

All feel that GM should co- operate by providing use of the new acrylic lacquer facilities to workers in connection with a labor department industrial training course called program 4, It involves training before layoff. NO LAYOFF But A. G. Stapleton, GM per- sonnel director, said in a letter to Mr. Spencer Feb. 24 that "it is not possible to offe rthe use of our plant for training pur- poses"', The letter says it is GM's "prediction and hope' that manpower requirements in the plant will not necessitate em- ployees now at work applying their skills for other employers. Mr. Spencer says the commit- tee has already studied the chance of getting the men up- graded in painting skills by using the facilities at the School of Allied Trades in Toronto, but the number of men looking for retraining at GM is "'too great"'.

Retraining Quarters In City Called Cramped A problem of cramped condi- tions at local retraining facili- ties for laid off workers is com- ing to a head: The city's 12-member advi- sory vocational committee and board of education are expect- ed to meet early next week to study how department of edu- cation retraining quarters can be expanded. T. D. Thomas, a member of boih educational bodies, says the committee is requesting the meeting. The problem within the department of education quarters is that about 700 per- sons now are studying and that 600 await an entry chance. Students are working under a scheme called program 5 -- which involves retraining courses exclusively for laid off workers. An official in the provincial vocational training program is to be invited to the strategy session, Mr.. Thomas says. NO BUILDING He says retraining facilities are inadequate because the board of education was "not looking ahead"' early last year when it chose to rent a centre for retraining, instead of build- ing one. Now, he says the special meeting has been called to talk about expansion either by rent- al-of more facilities, or con- struction. Mr. Thomas said in an inter- view the board was thinking early 'last year that they couldn't go ahead with erect- ing a centre, though he said at the time there were funds to do it..-. : .-» TO DISCUSS EXPANSION He said the board turned down a proposal he made to build a 10,000 square-foot centre that the provincial government would supply equipment for at the outset and pay for in the long run on a rental basis. It would have cost about $85,000, or $8.50 a square foot. "But the urgency didn't seem that high and they (the board) were Satisfied there would be no great change for some time to come. "lihings looked good at the 'Motors'," Mr. Thomas said. But GM has laid off more than 2,600 workers since last summer. The board decided in favor of renovating the vuld Alger building with $25,000, signing a two - year lease. and paying $14,000 in rent a year. Mr. Thomas says when the lease is up, about a year from now, rent at the Alger build- ing would probably rise in view of the fact the Alger prop- erty has been improved. He says to build a centre now is going to cost much' more, taking construction costs and their continuous rise into account. Meanwhile, Manpower Minis- ter Jean Marchand,. has toid the House of Commons that de- tailed discussions are now in progress between the mian- power division and the depart- ment of education in Ontario over provision of increased fa- cilities. "We certainly hope this will result in increasing the train- ing capacity available at Osh- awa," he said. down the proposal," Mr. Walker says. In a press release he says the department of labor pro- posed the program to General Motors officials but GM would not co-operate and he added: "One of the other problems is the lack of information from the company in regard to the type of retraining which is needed and the departments of labor, education and manpower training are somewhat stymied by this lack of co-operation. INADEQUATE Clifford Pilkey feels GM should "carry some of the re- sponsibility of retraining work- ers'. He and T. D. Thomas, along with other people, con- tend that retraining facilities for laid off workers are inade- quate at the local re-education centre because planning _ offi- cials have been shortsighted. NDP leader Donald MacDon- ald expounded an idea in an interview last week to solve re- training restraints (before lay off) due to the lack of company co-operation. His idea? Enact a special tax on industries to cover the cost of pre-layoff on-the-job training and then give a rebate to com- panies that use the special edu- cation course. | PROGRAM 4 interested in, does tunately the company took alnot work that way. negative attitude and turned Under program 4, workers can be retrained to move from one job classification to an- other, but the company must provide space, material and equipment. The government pays the cost of instructing, but the company pays the workers the "going rate" in the work classification they are studying. Another big and helpful point under program 4 is that though a trainee is improving his skills he is doing plant work that counts as a contribution to ac- tual marketable products. Program 4 doesn't exist in Oshawa, FOOT IN DOOR "Look," says Spencer, "'it's like this. All we (the commit- tee) are trying to do is get our foot in that big GM door to get them to house program 4." And he adds: "The thing is, we've got to train our painters to be ready for the big change." He says if the approximate 85 interested painters can get retraining on the job then even if GM did lay off as a result of the. automated paint process "these guys could go out of here and land jobs in a shake', Failing to get co-operation from GM, "éven after all these men have asked for it, then we The department of scheme, the one Mr. Spe should get government co-oper- i at thic om the rood get this om the road:
