Continued from Page 1 Dr. Brady asked her if he had slept well and she said he had. Dr. Brady asked if he had taken any medication which might make him drowsy and said he had only taken one Dristan tablet for a congestive condition. Juror Allan Haugh of RR 1, Brucefield, asked if the car had a radio and if it was on and she said it had a radio but would not be on. The last witness was Constable Ray Primeau of the Seaforth Detachment of O.P.P. who investigated the accident. He said the car was on' the west travelled portion of the sideroad, 101 feet west of the west 'edge of the road and 14 feet from the south track, He said damage to the car Was to the right side and it was extensively damaged. Mr. Primeau said there was nothing remarkable about the intersection, the markings were visible and the snowbanks would not hide them. He said there was very slight ground drifting if any. When Mr. Cochrane asked him if the sun would cause any trouble Mr. Primeau replied the sun did not cause any trouble for him, and that he was wearing sunglasses. He said it was the first accident he has attended at thiS crossing. Dr. Brady stated he did not Continued from Page 1 the communication room to talk freely about anything. Attendance would be taken in the morning, said Miss Waldron, but the students would not be forced to attend claws at all if they did not care to. Teachers, however, would be required to be at school. Some of them will be conducting seminars on various subjects not necessarily those they would normally teach. John Levis, chairman of the board, wondered if the students had any estimate of the number of students who would attend the lectures or how many "would think of it as a three-day holiday." Miss Waldron told the chairman the committee had made every effort to capture the interests of every student. "If they are not interested in anything offered at Education `70," said Miss Waldron, "then I (Continued from_. page. 1) ........ Elliott, is much closer to the popular provincial figures than. is the teachers requeSt. In 11490 ,instances we. are .*100 off," "The teachera said that new teachers were .hired on at aalarlea higher than those .already on staff with Equal and experience," said "No doubt this is true but the. board top unauccessfpily to eliminate this last year, The bind came because of the fact that as well as teachers who were receiving less for experience, there Were those who were receiving more. Those receiving more were asked to forgo any increase last year while the others caught up. This was turned down by the teachers:" 'If the board's first offer was accepted without the recalculation of expenses it means that every teacher across the board except those in their first two years of teaching in Huron County would receive a instantaneously and death would have been caused.from the gross damage to the skull which was crushed, the ruptured heart and lungs and the numerous fractures to ribs and limbs. In summing up Dr. Brady said train was on normal run, a few minutes late, visibility poor because of flying snow, large chunks flying up to tops of telegraph wires and the train bell was ringing. Mr. Stiver, because of injury, was not at crossing at usual time. Dr. Brady said the questions to be answered in verdict were: When? Where?' How? and By what means did he come to his death? The jury was out from 2:55 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. for a total of fifty minutes. Their verdict: Charles Edward Stiver, deceased person, came to his death at 11:20 o'clock in forenoon on February 23, 1970 at sideroad 15 and 16 Tuckersmith Township. Death was caused by multiple injuries to his body as result of the collision of ,his car and the train. The jury recommended that trains be equipped with revolving flashing light and more prominent whistle in rural areas. Jurors were: John MacKay, RR 4, Seaforth, foreman; Lorne Carter, RR 2, Seaforth; Bruce Coleman, RR 4, Seaforth; Harry Arts, RR 4, Seaforth; Allan Haugh, RR 1, Brucefield. would say they have some pretty peculiar interests. I have faith in my fellow students." Miss Waldron also pointed out that the committee was comprised of a cross-section of the student. body, with representatives from every department. Cochrane asked the students who would finance the venture. He learned that the students' council had voted $900 to the event and the students felt this would meet expenses for the entire three days. Dan Murphy, Goderich, said, "I am amazed at what you (the students) have done." "The students . should be commended," noted John D. Cochrane, Some speakers scheduled for Education '70 are Dr. E. G.

Their concern does not seem to he as great for the taxpayers of Ontario of which Huron County is a part. This old theory that because grants are paying a portion of the cost that caution can be forgotten, is a poor one. Every taxpayer knows that Mr. MacNaughtOn has no magic money Awning to pay the grants, It is simply the other pocket of the taxpayer." "We agree the teachers. should be on a comparable level salary-wise with the rest of the province," added Elliott. "Let us realize however, that increased grants for the have-not areas such as Huron are not to be used merely to raise salaries but to bring about the equality of opportunity for the students of Huron County which was why the county system originated, I might point out that although the teachers taught last year without a signed salary agreement, they did receive by their own admission, a salary schedule which was practically dead on the provincial median." "Failure to settle last year was attributed by the teachers to a general attitude of the board and their desire to be involved in decisions affecting education in the county," concluded Elliott. "These are not the reasons the Board was aware of. A joint press release in the London Free Press last year states the reasons for disagreement as date and frequency of pay periods." "There has been far too much discussion outside of the negotiation room already this year," said Elliott. "Our suggestion is that our differences are so slight that we can't understand why they were not negotiated." Delegation,a,representing both the elementary school :teachers Mowatt, Clinton; Dave Stuart, Stratford; Sister Marie Therese and Sister Theresa Marie, Mount St. Joseph Academy, London; Richard Lightbond, Company of Young Canadians; and Hon. C. S. MacNaughton, provincial treasurer. Another delegation, a group from Exeter planning a Toc-Alpha conference for SHDHS in the latter part of May, learned that the charges made by the board for the use of the Exeter school are as low as possible and include the janitorial fees. It was pointed out that janitors are paid at the rate of $3 an hour when they are called upon to work more than their usual hours, and that groups using school facilities in the county for educational non-profit ventures are actually paying just the janitorial fees through the rent charged by the board for the facilities. "It isn't a money-making thing," observed Dan Murphy. and the secondary Aelt9Pt teachers were band :at the meeting. The following is .the content of a brief submitted for release to the preaS April • 4.Thp secondary school teachers of Huron County received A salary offer frialn the Huron .County Beard, of Education on March 16. Previous to this, the Board had received a brief from the teachers considered by mr, Elliott to be reasonable base" from which tp begin negotiation. "Mr. R. Elliott, Chairman ,of. the .hoard's .salary negotiating committee, did not indicate to us the percentage increase contained in his reply; and since the uncertain :structure of the reply negates our efforts, we have been unable to take an accurate eosting. Other boards in the province .have made offers similar to the Huron teachers' reqiiest, and although indicating a desire to retain competent staff, our Board has made an offer which is substantially lower. "The Board completely rejected the form of our brief, which included among other things, proposals for compulsory up grading of unqualified teachers and condition to insure that new teachers engaged by the Board do not enter the employ of the County at a rate higher than those teachers with identical qualifications and Obituary ' • ERVIN GEORGE ZINN Ervin George Zinn, 15•Nelson St. W., died March 24 in Alexandra Marine and General Hospital after a lengthy illness.. He was 83. He was born February 9, 1887 in Carrick Township to parents Solomon Zinn and Caroline Pfohl. He resided in Carrick Township for 36 years and then moved to Ashfield Township where he operated .11 general store from 1923 until 1942. Mr. Zinn then farmed in Ashfield until 1963 when he retired in Goderich. He was married January 1, 1923 in Exeter to Emmeline Holland who survives. He was a member of Trinity United Church in Ashfield Township, formerly Hacketts Church, where he was a Sunday school teacher for many years. Since coming to Goderich, he has been a member of Nortlu Street United Church `" Mr. Zinn is also a former member of Ashfield Township Council. Survivors include two sons, Warren of Ashfield Township and Clarke of Clinton; ten grandchildren; one sister, Mrs. Otto (Ruby) Johann, Owen Sound; and one brother, Lloyd Zinn, Goderich. The body rested at the Stiles Funeral Home until Good Friday, March 27 when the funeral service was held at Trinity United Church, Ashfield, with Rev. J. E. Hummel and Rev. R. L. Raymont officiating. Interment was in Greenhill Cemetery at Lucknow.

Offer. the Prieeipaig a percent increase, "We share Mr. mows concern for the ratepayers of Huron ,Copnty, We would like to. point, out that the cost of education in Huron County is spread over a provincial base and that an 14000041 estimate indicates that about 70.5 percent of secondary school education coats are paid by the provincial treasury. Since teachers' pay is drawn from a provincial hike, it follows that provincial averages are important factors in determining our pay. Huron teachers have in the past been close to provincial average salaries and the stability of staff in our schools has resulted in better educational opportunity, Referring to the Minister of Education's Annual Report, it is found that instructional salaries are approximately 51 percent of Board expenditures. But it is also true that this percentage is lower than it was in 1951. It is therefore no longer possible for a Board to blame increases in taxation on teachers' salaries since other expenditures are rising at a rate faster than instructional salaries," Hiring Teachers _ In his report concerning 'Saturday's session at which teachers will be interviewed, James Coulter, superintendent of education said that 25 elementary school teachers are needed to fill vacancies. He reported that 58 applications had been received "from people who have certificates". Of these, 12 are 1969 graduates from Teachers' College who were not able to get jobs last year. Mr. Coulter also said there are several applications from "people still in school". Mrs. J. W. Wallace, Goderich, remarked that there was a possibility that all the vacancies for elementary school teaching positions in the county could be Ned next year with teachers in Category 4. She asked what the board would do in this instance since it was evident that c4teggry, 4 teachers would receive couch higher sOlOPs, Mr. Elliott told her that if two applicants 1111PreSsed the interviewers to the same degree, the only difference being that one had more qualifications than the other, the one with the better qualifications would be hired., itwas also indicated by several board Members that teachers who hold more degrees are not necessarily better teachers. `'You have to useyour intuition," advised John D.
