The Wingham Advance-Times, 1966-08-25, Page 1Unions Vote National Strike All Railway Services Will Be Suspended at Noon on Friday Members of the sevenmajor unions of railway workers in Canada have voted to go on strike Friday noon of this week. The strike will bring all the services of two major Canadian Railways, Canadian National and Canadian Pacific to a com- plete stop. Though major tie- ups have been threatened sev- eral times in the past few years, it is 16 years since the rail workers actually walked off their jobs, The financial implications for the nation, of course, are almost beyond computation. Should the strike last for any length of time virtually every community and industry in the country would begin to suffer serious losses. Prime Minister Pearson has called a special session of Par, Hameln which will convene out Monday morning to consider special legislation to end the strike, in the last such in- stance Parliament required that the rail workers continue to work for a one-month period, during which a settlement of the questions in dispute was reached. Chief points under dispute this time are dislocation of jobs created by automation and wage increase demands, A conciliation board has recom- mended an increase of 450 per hour, but the union demands range from 550 to $1.23, SHIPPING EMBARGO The railway companies placed an embargo on the ship , merit of livestock and perish- able goods on Monday. Only those passengers who will reach their destinations by Friday noon will he ticketed. In Wingham, as in all other rail points the C, N. and C,P,, employees will cease work at noon on Friday, thus halting passenger, express, freight and. telegraph services. If the strike were to contin- ue beyond a few days there would be serious consequences right in our own community. Both Stanley-Berry and Lloyd- Truax, local door forms, rely upon freight shipments to a considerable extent for the de- livery of raw materials to their plants, as well as the shipping of their products, particularly to Western Canada. Early this week both firms were loading cars with finished doors but their shipping depart- ments doubted that the cars would get out of Winghatn. If the strike lasts more than a few days it is likely that employ- ment in local plants will be ad- versely affected. Only Two Say No Ambulance Costs Approved By District Municipalities DIMPLES, A YEARLING PONY, owned by Dale and Donnie Thompson, of Gorrie, will remain there to provide fun for the local children. She was to have been sold but the pleas of local children prevailed. When Mr. and Mrs. "Goldie" Thompson sold their farm about two years ago they forgot that a pony they sold was in foal. They re- ceived the foal and the children raised her.

Defensive driving is basical- ly simple: it means knowing how to recognize potential dangers in traffic, then know- ing how to avoid them. The television test, a re- peat of a program originally broadcast in May, demon- strates a number of defensive driving tactics by showing the danger spot then providing the answer to avoiding it. Auto- mobiles were deliberately crashed for several of the se- quences so the perils could be vividly portrayed. The Canadian Drivers Test, sponsored by Shell Canada Ltd., was produced by the CI3C: in co-opeiation with the Canad- ian Highway Safety Council.

It will replace the one destroyed in a disastrous fire early in tients admitted to the hospital from each municipality in a year. The two municipalities which refused to participate in the plan do not represent any sizeable share of the program. It is expected that the first of the two ambulances, a com- pletely modern unit with two main-position cots and two ex- tra cots for emergency use, will be delivered in October. The second and smaller vehicle will be delivered later. They will be equipped with all the latest first aid equipment, oxygen ranks, etc., as well as rescue equipment of the type needed to remove accident victims from damaged motor vehicles. The hospital board found it necessary to go into the ambu- lance service when the private operators in this area declared their intention of withdrawing their services because of new regulations. Additional re- quirements for both equipment and personnel have made the ambulance business unprofitable for the private operators, burin this area they have agreed to continue their services until the hospital-based ambulance is ready, —Mr. and Mrs. Ray Neal of Caracas, Venezuela visited from Thursday to Saturday with Mr. and Mrs. W.
