The company, Lake Ontario Steel, notified the workers of their discharges by telegram communications sent to their homes after the men told the company they wanted to discuss the notice of the work. week change before it was imple- mented. The especial work, week in- volves an employment basis of seven days' work straight, and two days off. Keith Ross, international rep- resentative of the United Steel- workers' Union of America, said he received thé board decision today. PAY RULING He said the three-man board, headed by J. A. Hanrahan of Brampton, has ordered the com- pany to reinstate the workers without loss of seniority. Also, the men are to be paid regular wages retroactive to Feb. 5 -- allowing for money earned at work undertaken following their discharges or unemployment in- surance collected in the mean- time. The men are members of Local 6571, Steelworkers' union. The case was heard in Tor- onto March 16. Mr. Ross says the union-favored decision is signed by the Steelwork- ers' nominee, Herbert Gargave, an international representative of the union, and Mr. Hanrahan. The company nominee, indus- trial relations expert Michael O'Brien, did not sign. Mr. Ross says that in the rul- ing the board said the com- pany's disciplinary action indi- cated "lack of proper weighing of factors that were present be- fore such a drastic penalty was imposed." The board said the six em- ployees were convinced they had the right under their union con- tract to discuss the work week question because it would have been an "invasion of two days ordinarily enjoyed by them with their families, namely Saturday and Sunday." Mr. Ross describes the men as top-notch repair welders who are paid an hourly-rate of $2.96. He adds that as the ruling has been made, the controversial work week still remains a union- company issue and will result in more talks. A company spokesman said today he has not received offi- cial notice of the board ruling. Originally, there were seven welders fired Jan. 3 by the com- pany. One of the workers PER sets An 86-year-old gardener in the city like his 96-year- old employer, is not plan- ning an early retirement. Thomas Wragg, 281 Jarvis St., who celebrated his birthday last week, has been employed at the Park- wood home of Col. R. S. McLaughlin for almost 47 years and says he expects to go on- working there long after everyone else has retired. Mr. Wragg remem- bers many famous visitors at Parkwood, including the late Governor - General George Vanier and Ma- GARDENER dame Vanier and the Duke of Kent. However, Mr. Wragg says he didn't see too much of these visitors as they went through the "new garden'? and he was employed at the lower vegetable and flower gar- dens. Mr. and Mrs. Wragg, who came to Canada in 1913 and to Oshawa in 1921, have four sons (one, David, is supervisor of gardens at Parkwood), one daughter, eleven grandchildren and one great-grandchild. dropped out of the action, Mr. Ross says. | About two weeks ago some 500 company men staged a brief walkout to support another maintenance welder fired March 6 for not wanting to work Sun- days.

Education Of TORONTO (CP) --N. V. Scarfe, dean of education at the University of British Columbia, said today teachers are guilty of restricting classroom experi- menting to the children. Their own education is in need of curriculum reform, Mr. Scarfe told members of the On- tario Teachers Education Asso- ciation, a section of the Ontario Educational Association which is holding its annual meeting here "There's a new math and a new science, but where's the new teaching?" Teachers learn by thinking and doing just as children learn by thinking and doing, Mr. Scarfe said. 'But teachers' col- leges still continue to lecture-- demonstrating considerable in- eptitude in the art of conduct- ing seminar debate." Instead of stodgy, academic schools of education, apprentice teachers should be exposed to an active, creative faculty. NEED REFRESHERS Mr. Scarfe said teacher edu- cation should contain at least four years of university plus re- fresher courses every 10 years. James H. Kinkead of Goder- ich, Ont., outgoing president of the Ontario Education Associa- tion, said in an interview Sun- day night the job of improving education should be done on a national basis and should not be made into a battle between the provinces. --Oshawa Times Photo He said he would stress such Teachers Needs Reform, Says Dean | a national approach at today's opening of the association's 107th three-day annual meeting, expected to be attended by 15,- 000 members. Meetings by members of its 37 sections will be held in hun- dreds of rooms and hall across Toronto and London, Ont. The association is made up of teach- ers, professors, inspectors, members of home and school associations, officials of the ed- ucation department and school trustees CRAM FACTS Mr. Kinkhead, a school inspec- tor, said too many schools still crams facts instead of spurring children to learn for them- selves. "Do we still believe that there is a bundle of information which teachers must impart to chil- dren? Does the carting out of a few bushels of facts make the owner more of a man?" He also criticized the Ontario high school curriculum for be- ing too much oriented towards university requirements. "T can't see why our children must continue to take 'the total course in high school even if they're not going to university. We should shake the high schools up a bit," Mr. Kinkead said. His successor, Willis G. Glenn of Ottawa, said he agreed that "every high school student should have his own. individual timetable made up for his own individual needs."
