Bailey reported to council that he had received com- plaints over the sidewalk in- stallation en Marlborough St. because it was higher than the existing walk, "We laid it. according to the engineer's levels," he pointed out. At the councillor's 'recom• mendation, council agreed to erect, no parking signs at the entrance to the new apartment building erected by Harold Taylor across from the arena. They also decided to permit only parallel parking on the street on the south side to the corner of Andrew street. Although they agreed this would cut down considerably on the amount of parking avail- able, they noted that the street was too narrow for angle parking and cars had to park right up on the sidewalk to gel off the road. In other business, council: issued building permits for garages to Jacob 'Reeder, Wil- liam street; Arthur La Chance. Mill street, and Robert Mackey, Pryde Blvd. A permit was also issued to Ernest Harvey, Main street, for renovating the shop beside his residence for an, apartment.

Bill O'Brien, son of Mr, and Mrs. Leroy O'Brien, Zurich, es- caped from a basement window of the bank to give the alarm, Three bandits chained 43 bank employees - and captured two police,men in the attempt, but fled without money while an as- sistant accountant fought a gun duel with police by mistake, O'Brien, an accountant, ar- rived at the bank shortly before nine and was ordered into the basement with the other em- ployees who had. been. chained and gagged as they reported for work.

Pith. lie, probably because the author- ity is as yet too young," . The Parkhill Dam was .cited as the example. The group's re- port said; "Many elected officials and perhaps some authority mem- bers have not been convinced themselves On. the value of con- aervation, it. was pointed out that some of the elected officials are not, clear on. the act we are working under, e.g„ the drain- age act as opposed to the eon- servation authorities act. Bene- fit and. costs are confusing the issue, There was a feeling that some people apply the bePefit- cost ratio to the wrong act, and that others look to the 'imme- diate whereas conserva- tion, is a long-term project." Sell own members The group agreed that the authority should. begin by selling its own members on conserva- tion. The members fell, the author, ay was in. the unfortunate. posi- tion of having the first munici- pal hoard hearing on a. large project io connection with the apportionment of costs, refer- ring to the Parkhill darn again, "Probably when the board ar- rives at an apportionment," the report stated.

"It can be realized that the system, of necessity, was rc- quired to employ other staff and this help, much appreciated in a time of need cannot he imme- diately dismissed", eaunei noted. Council decided to take the action "since the operators have requested their jobs back and appear to now realize the seri- ousness of their action," Conflicting reports The main reason for the strike appears to he in regards to a new switchboard In the Zurich office to make space for an increased. number of circuits to several area centres and to accomodate dial equipment nec- essary for the Grand. Bend. con- version. Mrs, Clarence (Beatrice) Jef- frey, one of the .operators, said. the switchboard was- installed between the existing two main switchboards which were rein- Bated despite objections from operators. She said the operators could not reach the numbers of the new board from the other two main boards, a reach of six feet from one end to the other, Mrs. Nell (Helen) Walker, an- other operator, said they re, fused to work after they had been refused a meeting with council to discuss their disssat• isfaction with the new setup, The operators reported that they had informed. reeve Bee- t:ex on Tuesday and again on Wednesday that they were not able to operate the new switch• board, '['hey asked him to bring the rest of the council along to drop into the office and look the situation over, but they said Mr. Becker refused to do this, However, the news release is- sued by council said the opera- tors had been promised a meet- ing. on December It In discuss the installation and also a pay increase that the operators had requested. It also stated that at the time of the installation an extra ope- rator was provided when the management "realized it would he a considerable operating in- convenience."

Veteran tormentors Emer.s.on Desiardine and .Stewart, Webb were both undecided about their positions and each said he would wait until Monday night before making a decision. Both reported that the pre , nomination scene in the sum titer resort was "You hear rumors," Webb vommented. "hut there's no- thing. definite." Desjordine intimated that he expected a "hit ,of excitement" al the meeting, but didn't elab- orate. Reeve tp run Reeve Bill Sturdevant also stated he hadn't decided de- finitely whether he would seek another term, but thought he would. In McGillivray, there's a pos- sibility that two veteran coun- cilmen may retire if younger men. with ability indicate their willingness to replace them. Earl. Dixon, former reeve. said he would. stand "unless some young man comes along who is capable." Cotmeillor Earl Morley, a seven year man, expressed similar sentiments. Reeve Thomas Hall, complet- . decided that although the new installation created a definite work load they preferred to workalone with a raise in pay than to have an extra operator and two of the operators did manage the switchboard alone successfully," However, council felt that probable additions to the egidpment could necessitate ex- tra operators and said this could. be just as important to continue good. service as was a pay increase. At present the operators re- ceive 70 cents per hour for the time they work, and besides be- ing telephone operators, have to look after the fire alarm, hank burglar alarm, the water pres- sure gauge, and sometimes they have to act as baby-sitters, Await verdict The four operators had not received a copy of the statement by Wednesday, although they were told at a meeting Friday that they would receive them.
