All sized jobs
The main reason for
Chemline Services Division of
Dunlop Canada Limited in
relocating its Toronto plant to
Centralia s Industrial Park was
the large hangars that were
available,
General manager Frank
Capstick says the width of the
front door, which opens to a full
210 feet and the minimum
ceiling clearance of 20 feet were
responsible for the move to
Centralia.
The Huron Park plant located
in Hangar 6 serves as
headquarters for the Chemline
Division's national network of
fabrication and lining shops,
including those now located in
Elliot Lake, Vancouver,
Edmonton and Saint John, New
Brunswick.
It is responsible for marketing
the company's range of rubber
and plastic linings, coatings,
cements and fabrications for
protection against corrosion,
abrasion and contamination.
Employ 31
Nothing is more characteristic
of the type of work carried out
by the Chemline Services
Division than the enormous size
range of products handled, and
their varying degrees of
complexity.
Continuous orders for small
rubber-lined parts are
interspersed with very heavy
equipment for lining, much of
the latter being so bulky or
heavy it must be moved on
special rail transport.
While talking of the large
doors to allow railway cars and
other large equipment to enter,
Capstick said, "Not much can't
get inside our hangar, but if the
job is too big, we go to the site."
In the March output of
business, jobs are being handled
for customers in Sept Iles and
Sorel in Quebec, Marmoraton
and the Lakehead in Ontario,
Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
Capstick, who began his
career with the parent Dunlop
Company in England in 1939
came to Canada in 1955. He is
captain of the volunteer fire
brigade and president of the
curling club at Huron Park.
Railway tracks have been
installed halfway through the
hangar and six small or four
large cars can be handled at one
time and another 30 can be
stored outside.
The railway cars that
basically carry acids are rubber
lined at Centralia and are
brought back at least once a year
or for checks on possible leaks.
High voltage testing
equipment is used at Chemline
to prevent leaks in their
installations.
The Huron Park plant does a
lot of work for mining
companies in Northern Ontario.
Chemline did a lining job for
Consolidated Dennison Mines,
the largest uranium producers in
North America, 12 years ago and
the equipment is still standing
up against corrosion from acid
and alkaline.
Great emphasis is placed on
safety at the Huron Park plant.
All employees actually in
production wear bump-caps and
safety shoes. The best in
protection and rescue equipment
is on hand along with a
ventilating system to be used for
entry into confined spaces.
At the moment, 31
employees are on the payroll,
most of whom were hired from
this area.

Huron County Board of
Education is spending long hours
these days -discussing salary
schedules for elementary and
secondary school teachers in the
county.
Tuesday evening, board
members met with
representatives of the secondary
school teachers and Wednesday
evening, the board was host to a
delegation of elementary school
teachers.
Although no proposed salary
schedule was announced at any
of the open sessions of the
Huron County Board of
Education meetings, an
advertisement in one of the daily
papers quoted the 1969-70
salary offer of the board as
follows:
MIN. MAX.
Category 4.. $8,500 to $13,700
Category 3.. 7,900 to 13,000
Category 2.. 7,100 to 11,400
Category 1.. 6,800 to 10,800
The advertisement stressed
the salary schedule was still
under negotiation. It is not
known what teachers in the
county have requested of the
board with regard to the new
contract.
Salary schedule at SHDHS
last year was as follows:
MIN. MAX.
Category 4.. $8,000 to $13,100
Category 3.. 7,600 to 12,400
Category 2.. 6,700 to 10,900
Category 1.. 6,400 to 10,400
Comparison of the two
schedules indicates a possible
raise for SHDHS teachers in all
categories from $400 to $600
per annum. It is not known what
salary schedules were in effect at
other high schools in the county.
It should be noted these
raises are in addition to the
annual increment received by
teachers.
Most boards in Huron County
paid an annual increment of
$300. In effect, possible raises
for SHDHS teachers in all
categories could be from $700
to $900 per annum.

The Editor,
Exeter Times-Advocate,
Exeter, Ontario.
Dear Sir,
This is in reply to John
Funston's article on page 16 of
the March 13 edition of your
paper entitled "Practice what
they preach." I read the article
over two times and I found
myself asking the following
questions:
Why did Mr. Funston wait
five months to reply to my
article? I think it is good that
the March of Dimes has hired 23
disabled employees, but I think
the majority of its employees
should be disabled.
How long have these 23
persons been with the March of
Dimes? Were they just hired in
January 1969 so they could say
to the public, "Look, we have
23 physically handicapped
people working for us?"
The part explaining the term
"disabled" really takes the
punch out of the article. It is a
watering down effect and turns
me off. When people tell me that
everyone is handicapped, it is
said because people think it will
pacify me and calm me down. It
is said because people do not
know what else to say.
It does not alter the situation.
I have the right to say that
the March of Dimes has no right
in the vocational business. I say
this because there are about 20
agencies in Ontario doing the
vocational training for the
physically handicapped and
none of them are worth a
tinker's damn. The government
is taking ,over this training
program.
Did you notice in the article
that he mentions only people
with fairly mild handicaps? Not
one word is mentioned about
victims of cerebral palsy. I call
having only one leg or one arm,
mild handicap.
When Mr. Funston and his
cohorts start working on other
problems of the disabled like
transportation, housing,
recreation and pensions for the
more severly handicapped, they
will get to the guts of the
problem by finding long lasting
'solutions and not mere band-aid
solutions, Then I will be more
than happy to work with him
because there are four problems
on which no one is taking any
action.
Why did Mr. Funston not
reply to any other points of
interest in that same letter? I
also wonder if the March of
Dimes did not do so well
financially in the Exeter area,
and this article was a publicity
stunt to raise more funds.
Mr. Funston, how many
moderately handicapped people
work at CKSL radio?
I hope to have a small
booklet published by June 1969
of all of my experiences in
Toronto with the agencies etc. if
anyone• is interested.
Thank you,
John Kellerman
Dashwood, Ont.
