At a mass rally in Oshawa more than 200 of the strikers, who walked out yesterday morn- r cent in was in the s' of a new three- year collective agreement, ham- mered out in conciliation earlier this year, and consequently a hold-up in distribution of retro- active pay. The men, members of Local) 6571, United Steelworkers of America, won an immediate 20- cent-per-hour increase in the contract and it was to have been dated back to Feb. 28, when the old contract expired. Union officials are refusing to sign the contract -- ratified by workers May 5 -- until LASCO and the union mutually agree upon documents connected with a wage study program. "The delay has been caused by LASCO having our docu- ments (part of the new con- tract) examined by their con- sultants. These things take time," says Keith Ross, an -- union representa- ive. He says he has no idea how it will take to arrive at mutual agreement with LASCO on the co-operative wage study documents. He said LASCO is questioning several areas of legal wording. The CWS pro- gram involves job-evaluation to establish future pay scales at each LASCO job. "These documents are lengthy and technically involved and have to be gone over very close- ly," LASCO president, G. R. Heffernan, said today. He said retroactive pay cheques for the men, running into an average of $80, are made out and can be issued at a moment's notice once the documents are agreed upon.

A total of 145 pupils were in- terviewed this year. He said although eight per cent of a school population suf- fers from some kind of percep- tually handicap, all of these chil- dren do not need psychiatric help. 'Teacher instruction can guide the child through a reg- ular class," he said. Dr. Shooter said the cases he studied went from '"'very ser- ious" to 'Not serious enough to place in a special class".

"Representatives of the fed- eration encourage debt," said Dr. Sciuk. "'They said if we go into a large enough deficit the government will realize we need help." Dr. Sciuk said the board does not plan on going into a big deficit. He said the Oshawa separate school board may become a "testing ground" for adamant teachers "'going for the works."

FUTURE PLANS UNCERTAIN... .-- IF CITY GIVEN CORRIDOR Amalgamation Past, Present, Future Discussed At Meeting WHITBY (Staff) -- What hap- pens to the Whitby amalgama- tion if the Ontario Municipal Board gives the corridor to Oshawa? Mayor Desmond Newman of . Whitby said last night he did not know. "The OMB function is to pro- vide. protection to ratepayers and municipalities within its discretion and, at the presents time the town and township are within the Ontario County sys- tem while Oshawa is not,"' said Mayor Newman. Today Mayor Newman. said the two municipalities con- tributed to county assessment while Oshawa did not and that for this reason the county would back the amalgamation. He added that he could not pre- sume to guess at the decision of the OMB. Asked why the amalgamation issue will not be put to a vote of the people the mayor said the turnout of Jess than 40 town residents at the meeting last He said he had hoped 10 night was one of the reasons. continued and at the e times under a new council, negotia- nd of 1965 had reached a pec payers the town and township uliar position township. He said present resi- dential areas in the town and increases would be offset in savings of hydro cost. swered boards? Mayor Newman an- this question by stating matters to meet with Oshawa, Bowmanville, and. Darlington as many people would attend the information meeting held at the town hall, and added that the question would be put to the OMB to make an analytical appraisal of the proposed amal- gamation. Mayor Newman told the audi- ence the amalgamation ques- tion first came up in 1963 prior to Lake Ontario Steel Company coming to the township. He said the town at that time made ap- plication to consider an asso- ciation with part of the town ship. The mayor said at that time the township advised the town that annexation was. unrealistic and a committee was establish- ed to discuss the problems of the town and -township. The committee met until the end of 1963 and then broke up into sub-committees to study indi- vidual problems. THEME CHANGES During 1964 and 1965 the talks 4 tions continued and the theme changed from annexation to amalgamation. The mayor said a spirit of co-operation develop- ed and the town committee de- cided that expansion had to be with the whole township to pro- duce a more viable municipal- ity and a broader tax base. The Whitby mayor told the gathering that in 1965 profes- sional people had been selected to give a professional point of view. The report came and sug- gested that it was a responsible decision to associate the mu- nicipalities. "The town has been impress- ed by the sincerity of Whitby Township and the interests of three groups of people, urban, suburban and rural, must all be protected if amalgamation is to make sense," said the mayor. CONSULTANT FALUDI Whitby's planning consultant Dr. E. G, Faludi told the rate- in their development and that it had reached the point where it was most desirable to join the two municipalities. "The township has the avail- able land that can be develop- ed for revenue producing pur- poses, The town has practically reached a saturation point in development," said Dr. Faludi, The planning consultant add- ed that the town's services could be extended and that res- idential development meant school expansion while new in- dustrial development could sub- sidize the residential boost. He said the town had' very little land unserviced while the town- ship had immense areas of un- serviced land. Dr. Faludi proposed that no lands be developed residentially until they were serviced and that by creating a balanced in- dustrial - residential develop- ment new revenue producing land would benefit the town and township would not be affected unfavorably. SELL AMALGAMATION "All boards and commissions in the town and township have been asked to study the feas- ability of amalgamation and all have come up with joint recom- mendations, none have reject- ed amalgamation, the purpose of this meeting is to give in- formation," said 'Mayor New- man. "To sell amalgamation, you mean," shouted a member from the audience. Meeting chairman. George Lofthouse continued to the next question and asked about taxes under amalgamation. The audience was informed that a rise in taxes directly at- tributable to amalgamation based on 1965 costs would be one-half mill for the town, 2.3 mills for the rural taxpayers and 1.3 mills for urban, town- ship taxpayers. The township SCHOOL COSTS Who will pay for the cost of schools? There will be a board of education combining the pub- lic and high schools and no loss of grants will occur as a result of the amalgamation. Dr. Faludi also said the rec- reation facilities and shopping 'facilities were geared to an in- creased population. He said that at the present time only Whitby township and Pickering township had large industrial areas along Lake Ontario be- tween Oshawa and Hamilton. Dr. Faludi said he could not forecast if amalgamation would bring industry into the area and said large scale development in the township would depend on the economy of the province, the country and the world. He said that under the proposed plans no services would be pro- vided without a guarantee from industry. Who will be appointed to ¢ that members on present boards had considerable exper- ience and that appointments initially would be made from people presently serving on the boards. Asked if the amalgamation would make the new municipal- ity a city the mayor said it would be up to the OMB but present plans called for a town within Ontario County combin- ing the municipalities. Mayor Newman said the new town council would consist of two councillors from each of four wards with the deputy reeve, reeve and mayor elect- ed at large. In essence it would be an enlarged Whitby Town Council. OSHAWA TARDY Asked why Oshawa did not join in amalgamation talks Township Deputy Reeve Gor- don Hanna told the meeting that county council had asked its special committee on county h Township to discuss a regional government study. After the meeting the dele- gates were asked to discuss the matter with their respec- tive councils and report back to county council within two months. Mr. Hanna said Bowmanville had flatly refused, Darlington was never heard from again and Oshawa reported six months later, agreeing to pars ticipate in the study -- after the town and township had started the amalgamation study. Whitby Township Reeve Heber Down had the last word at the meeting: "It's your decision and it's the biggest decision I have ever faced. I favor amalgamation." The reeve also invited inter- ested ratepayers to attend an information meeting at the Brooklin Community Hall to. night at $ p.m.
