SCRAPER TO GERMANY — Harry Mathers proudly waits for a truck to haul one of his Ice King scrapers to its destination in Germany. T-A photo Some are dropped, Fleck strike charges open The first of several trials resulting from charges laid in connection with the lengthy Fleck Manufac­ turing strike opened in Exeter, Thursday, but already some of those charges have been with­ drawn. Al Seymour, a United Auto Workers union official, had been charged with ob­ struction of a roadway, in­ timidating non-strikers and with obstructing police when he was the first to appear in Thursday’s session. When the trial continued Friday, Huron Crown Attorney Gary Hunter with­ drew the charge of ob­ structing police. The Crown also withdrew charges against Robert Rene Montague, plant chairman of the UAW at Northern Telecom in London, of ob­ structing police and blocking a road. Twenty-nine others face a variety of charges arising from the Huron Park strike. Seymour, a London-based international representative of the union, was charged on March 6 by Exeter OPP Constable Bill McIntyre. The latter said he made the arrest after Seymour stood in front of an unmarked cruiser and refused to move. Seymour said he had no idea the car was a cruiser or that McIntyre, who was in plain clothes, was an officer. “I put it to you that you were looking for trouble that day because you wanted headlines,” Hunter said to Seymourin Thursday’s court session. “Sure got them,” Seymour replied. On Friday, three Fleck strikers testified that Seymour was not standing in front of the unmarked cruiser, but rather he was walking beside a busload of non-strikers going through the picket line at Huron Park when the car bumped him from behind. Testifying on behalf of Seymour were Deb Riley, Gaile Jenks and Sheila Charlton. The witnesses said they were in front of the bus in order to slow it down or stop it to talk to the non-strikers. The witnesses said they understood it was their right to attempt to talk to non- strikers to persuade them to join the strike ranks and that they could walk on the road as long as they kept moving. Riley said that she and the other women were upset when policemen began throwing them into the snow banks. She said the police said nothing to them before “throwing us around.” At that point, the witnesses testified, the women became confused. “We thought we had a perfectly legal right to walk a picket line ... we thought we had done something terribly wrong — that we’d be arrested. We thought we had a right to do it. We saw it on TV and read it in the newspapers.” She said the women didn’t know what to expect but felt the police were on management’s side. Arguments onThe case by Hunter and defehce counsel Len McLean will be heard by Judge Fred Olmstead of Walkerton on November 9. McClure to speak Dr. Robert McClure, first lay moderator of the United Church of Canada, will be the guest speaker at Sun­ day’s anniversary service at Exeter United Church.

Most personal self-improvement courses are legitimate, but... you should know what Ontario is doing to help you recognize the few that are not. Teaching people to improve them­ selves is big business these days. While such courses and techniques can have a positive influence on your social life and well-being they can also be used to cheat and exploit. Self-improvement courses involving long periods of time and large amounts of money should include a contract for you to sign. Ideally, the contract is to protect you by setting out the exact money to be paid and the services to be provided. So before signing a contract make sure your interests are protected. Beware the Dream Merchant! Your Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Commercial , Relations has published an easy- 7 to-understand information bulletin which: • describes some of the dishonest schemes; • tells you how to recognize them; • advises what your rights are under The Business Practices Act and The Consumer Protection Act; ,T rb r, X ♦ spells out details that should be included in every contract you sign; • gives advice on how to deal with payments for self-improvement and mail order offers.
