The main issue in the dispute is wages, be said, with the teachers seeking a 12-per-cent increase and the board offering 3.4 per cent. Negotiations broke down Nov. 5 and teachers !notified the provincial body of the Ontario gnglish Catholic Teachers' Association it would like it to take over negotiations. The provincial body attempted to arrange a meeting with the Perth-Huron school board, but the board said it wanted to meet 'with local representatives, Mr, Birmingham said. The provincial body, which now holds the 145 resignations, says it will "pink list" the board asking teachers not to accept job offers after the other teachers have 'resigned, Mr. Birmingham said that under the 1972-73 agreement, 52 percent of the teachers earned between $5,600 and 7,600. "How does the board expect teachers to survive on a 3.4 per- cent increase taking into con- sideration the rising cost of living?" Joseph Tokar, acting Superintendent of Education, reported that John Vintar, Superintendent of Education for the board, has been elected to the board of governors of the Ontario Association of Education Administrative Officials at the general meeting in Hamilton last week. Mr, Vintar is on a leave-of- absence without pay at the present time to pursue a doc- torate in educational ad- ministration in Toronto. Mr, Tokar said the O.A.E.A.O. represents more than 400 senior administrators in the province of ,Ontario and is a professional '.body which provides professional development programs in ad- ministration, works with the Ontario School Trustees' Council in areas of mutual interest, prepares position papers, and participates in discussions with the ministry of education.

Gary Robert Leger was fined $60 or six days in jail, while Joan Marie Leger was fined $30 or three days. They pleaded guilty to causing a disturbance in Exeter on November 4 when they became embroiled in an altercation at 2:00 a.m. Police testified the two had been drinking and used obscene language in the incident. Another Huron Park resident, Joan Elizabeth Moffatt, pleaded guilty to a charge of common assault. The court learned the assault was committed on a juvenile, as the accused poured soft drink on the victim's hair and "belted her". Judge Hays noted the accused appeared defiant and said this disturbed him. He ordered a pre-sentence report before handing down his sentence on December 11. A Parry Sound man, Larry Antoine, pleaded guilty to causing wilful damage to a glass door at the Centralia College of Agricultural Technology on November 22. He told the court he was "plastered" at the time and Judge Hays suggested the ac- cused pay for the damage and return for sentence on December 7. MRS.

However, Gary Birmingham, Stratford, communications ,of- ficer for the Huron-Perth Unit of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association, stated that the teachers are not going to meet with the board's committee at the local level as the negotiations have been handed over to the provincial level following the breakdown of negotiations on November 14.

"I don't know why they have to pick on the hospitals but I guess they have to do it somewhere," she added resignedly. Lucan Lions celebrating
