Some of the 40 did not follow through on plans for adoption, Others have adopted children with different kinds of problems -- problems not quite so grave as Mark's, but serious enough to affect these children's lives. The special family group is seven -- four sisters and their three brothers. The children are Canadian Indians, ranging in age from two to nine. They were adopted by a couple who 'already had five children, three of them adopted. The parents and their natural children are white. The three children adopted are Indian. These people had already ap- plied to their Children's Aid Society for the adoption of one more child, preferably of Indian background, when they saw the family of seven. They quickly changed their ideas. It seems they had always wanted to have children! This is the second family of seven to be adopted through Today's Child. The first, also four girls and three boys, was adopted in Canada's Centennial Year, 1967. The only other seven ever to appear here will be remembered because they attracted admirers and would-be parents from all across Canada. They are seven young sisters, hoping to be adop- ted as a family so they can grow up together. That all-girl family has not been adopted yet, but undoub- tedly will be. It takes longer when there are so many possibilities to be considered. The next largest family was five -- four sisters and their brother. They were adopted by two different families as a trio and a pair. The families are neighbors and close friends so the children will grow up together even though they have different parents and different names. Two families of four found their adoption homes through Today's Child as did two threesomes. At least two more trios will be in their permanent homes before school starts. Ti ,, pairs were adopted by parents who saw them here. Of course the majority of children are adopted one at a time. The singles this year have been mostly older children -- a glance at the list shows ages of four, seven, nine, twelve and even fourteen. Today's Child has had almost no babies but there have been a few -- three months, five months, nine mon- ths, sixteen months. Every one has been adopted. BY TOM TREMFIX Question: We are very proud of the new barbecue we bought in the spring. How- ever, our repeated use and en- joyment of it this summer has burned off most of the paint, and now we have an eyesore. Is there an easily applied paint I can use that will im- prove the appearance, protect it from rust and not burn off when we put the unit back in use next summer? Answer: There is a new line of Tremco Heat Resistant Enamels that are packaged in convenient aerosol cans for easy application. The enamel has been especially formu- lated for use on any metal surface that is subject to tem- peratures of up to 650°F, but not to direct flame. It would be ideal for the hood and the exterior of your barbecue. In fact, any surface that is not heated to more than 650°F. This does not include the grille itself. It can also be used to protect and beautify the heat-subject metal surfaces of camping equipment or home heating radiators that discolor when conventional coatings are used. To get the best heat resist- ance and durability, the col- ours available are limited to flat black, orange, metallic aluminum, and metallic gold. However, this selection should enable you to satisfy your aesthetic needs. SPRAY ON CLEAN SURFACE To get a lasting finish, you should prepare the metal by removing any rust down to bare metal with a wire brush and make sure the surface is free of oil, grease, dirt and wax. When the surface is clean and dry, spray the heat resistant enamel directly on the metal without a primer. It will dry to touch in 3 to 5 minutes. For information onvthe use or application of Tremco Heat Resistant Enamel, write to Tom Tremfix, The Tremco Manufacturing Company (Canada) Ltd., 220 Wicksteed Avenue, Toronto 17, Ontario. oo WEEKEND SPECIALS September 20, 21, 22,23 9--Clinton News-Record, Thursday, September 21, 1972 Care with oven bags What about it? Does today's child get results The Oven. Bag furthered its reputation as the 'hottest' item to hit the Supermarket when it hit the consumer's oven. Although reports of bags ex- ploding and fires occurring were relatively few, they were enough to cause concern to industries involved, government depart- ments, news media and con- sumers, Explosions are caused by a phenomenon known as 'bum- Water from the roasting meat, instead of boiling away normally, becomes trapped un- der a heavy layer of grease. As it passes its boiling point, • the water vaporizes, but with such pent-up force that it -explodes the bag, releasing grease onto heating elements. Oven wraps and bags are no more hazardous than conven- tional roasting methods when used with care. Most package instructions have been recently revised and should be followed to the letter by the consumer. You will probably note that the oven should always be preheated, especially if the top element is engaged for preheat setting. Bags should never be ex- posed to the high heats emitted by broiler elements. They may be in excess of the bag's melting point. To protect against the bumping action and ensure nor- mal boiling of juices, the bag's atcketj SALES & SERVICE i"We Service 'What We Sell" 267 VICTORIA ST. HWY. No. 4.

Ban taxes The Ontario Federation of Agriculture strongly urges an immediate end to inheritance taxes. "Inheritance taxes critically disrupt the transfer of the family farm from father to son. Often the tax. load will force a young farmer to forfeit his inherited farm, in order to pay his father's death taxes," protests Gordon Hill of Varna, President, Ontario Federation of Agriculture. Capital gains tax and suc- cession duties will fall on the same person at the same time. "This double tax load is especially harsh to young farmers because their assets are land, machinery, and livestock. Selling is often the only way to get enough cash. But, what is left may not be an economic farm." Recently, the Federation sub- mitted a brief to the Advisory Committee on Succession Duties, calling for immediate repeal of the Succession Duties Act. The committee will be making policy recommendations to the government. "Succession duties on farm land are not taxes on produc- tivity, but on inflation. The far- mer has no control over these pressures. They cost him money but give him no return." The ability-to-pay principle in taxation has strong Federation support. This is why succession duties and gift tax are so aggressively opposed. "The money raised by inheritance taxes on agriculture qait.Tever justify the damage to our farming community. The, Ontario government has pledged to abolish succession duties in the future. Now is the time," says Hill. An adjudicative tribunal to settle teacher-school board salary disputes is recommended in a report released by Education Minister Thomas Wells last week. The recommendation was made by a Ministry of Education appointed committee set up in November of 1970 to study the question of teacher- school board salary negotiations. The committee recommended that both teachers and school boards have the right to refer the matter to the tribunal should negotiations become deadlocked. The tribunal's fin- dings would be binding on both parties. It proposed that the tribunal be composed of a chairman, one or more vice-chairmen and a number of part-time members who would be appointed by the Government on the advice of the Ministry. The tribunal's mem- bers would sit as boards of one to review cases referred to it. The committee strongly recommended that all areas in dispute, exclusive of salary and other items of compensation, such as professional duties and educational policy, be settled by a consultative process. This would begin at the school staff level, move through an area ad- visory committee and finally to a school board advisory commit- tee composed of teachers, trustees and ratepayers. The school board advisory commit- tee is now permitted under the Schools Administration Act but the committee recommended that they be made mandatory and that their role be strengthened. The Committee, known as the Cornmittee of Inquiry Into Negotiation Procedures Concer- ning Elementary and Secondary Schools of Ontario, also recom- mended the establishment of a Professional Research Bureau which would supply information and data to school boards and teachers involved in salary negotiations. The Bureau would also provide the same infor- mation to the tribunal should the dispute fail to be resolved. The Committee recommended that the Bureau should be under the direction of a joint commit- tee on research composed of five teachers selected by the Ontario School Tiustees Council. The operation of the tribunal and the Research Bureau would be financed by the Ministry of Education. he committee took as its basic concept that conflict in teacher- school board relationships should be and can be virtually eliminated. The committee noted that the history of relationships between teachers and school boards in Ontario has been characterized by "truly remarkable rapport". The com- mittee stated that this is the ground on which further development must be built. The Committee stated that if the joint negotiation process is to be effective, the provincial government must accept the fact that Ontario's teachers should be compensated at both the same salary and benefit level as that paid for occupations of equal skill in the wealth producing sector of the economy. The committee also recom- mended that in order to broaden communication within the educational community the Minister hold an annual con- ference with representatives from all areas of the educational community. The committee agreed with the majority of submissions from teachers and trustees that salary negotiations Should be conduc- ted at the board level. However, the members rejected the strike as a method of settlement and. also stated that work to rule tactics by teachers were not only unprofessional but possibly illegal, Mr. Wells said that although the Report is under active study by the Ministry, no position has been taken with respect to it. He said policy will only be devised after consideration of opinions from all interested groups, teachers, school trustees, school administrators and the public. He asked that all interested groups make their submissions to him by October 30. In November he will meet with representatives of the Ontario Teachers' Federation and the Ontario School Trustees Coun- cil, the two groups most :concer- ned with the Report's recom- mendations. Mr. Wells said that he hoped to be able to announce policy before the end of the year. "The whole purpose of this Report, and the kind of in- volvement I am seeking, is to try to prevent the kind of struggles which nobody wins and which invariably injure the children, and young people in our schools. Among reasonable people in- volved in education, there must be a method of reaching agreement which avoids 'non- negotiable' issues, harsh rejec- tions, impossible demands and unacceptable reactions." "In Ontario, we have a much better chance of achieving this than practically anywhere else. In this Province we have en- joyed more harmonious relationships between teachers, school boards and the Ministry of Education than virtually any other Province in Canada or State in the U.S. We have seen teacher strikes and serious in- fighting all around us. In various Provinces of Canada, we have seen everything from militant demonstrations to prolonged work-stoppages to blatant political involvement. But in Ontario things have not deteriorated in this way." "What we have to do now and what I hope will be a common objective among all parties is to consciously work to maintain and improve our enviable situation," Mr. Wells said. Judge R.W. Reville chaired the three-man committee. The other members were Mr. Lloyd Hemsworth, former vice- president industrial relations, Kimberly-Clark Ltd„ and Mr. B.S. Onyschuk of Thomson Rogers, Barristers, Toronto. During its tenure the commit- tee received 61 briefs, held public hearings in 15 centres at which 76 presentations were -made. The.. committee .alSO' examined salary negotiation procedures in other educational jurisdictions. Do these children really get adopted? That's the question often asked about Today's Child and the boys and girls who are featured there. The answer is yes, they really do. Adopting a child (or children) is a private affair, just as producing your own child is, so it is not possible to give specific details about individual adop tions. But a half-yearly report will help to answer that opening question. One hundred and thirty one children who have appeared in Today's Child so far this year are now living with their adop- ting parents. Many more will be moving into their new homes as summer goes on, because school vacation is a convenient time for children to be transplanted and for prospective parents to travel to meet their new child (or perhaps children). Today's Child originates with the Ministry of Community and Social Services, as part of the Ontario government's program for the welfare of children in this province. Every adoption is special bacause every one means that a child who has been waiting for parents has to wait no longer. The child has found a place of his or her own and a mother and father with home and hearts open. But two of this year's adop- tions are unusual enough to deserve extra special mention. The first concerns one child only. The other is a family group. The one child is Mark, four years old, a handsome bright boy who was born without legs and with only stumps or arms ending above the elbow. Mark appeared three times in Today's Child. Twice in previous years, possible parents were interested in adopting him but it didn't work out. The third time led to a per- manent home for this boy. Mark is now settled with a mother and father, two big brothers and a sister. He will grow up as part of a family. Dear little Mark, while fin- ding a mother and father for himself, has helped other children with handicaps as well.
