The Wingham Advance-Times, 1972-10-05, Page 3An adjudicativetribunai to set; tie teacher -school board salary disputes, is recommended in a report released by Education Minister Thomas Wells, last week The recommendation was made by a Ministry of Education *made committee set up in November of 1970 to study the question of teacher -school board salary negotiations. The committee recommended that both teachers and school boards have the right to refer the matter to the tribunal should ne- *gotiations become deadlocked. The tribunal's findings would be binding on both parties. It proposed that the tribunal be composed of a chairman, ole or more vice chairmen and a num- er of part-time members who would be appointed by the Gov- ernment on the advice of the Min- istry. The tribunal's _ members would sit as boards of one to re - *view cases referred to it. The committee strongly recommended that all areas in dispute, exclusive of salary and is Yother teals 'of .compensation, such as professional duties and educational policy, be settled by a consultative process. This would begin at the school staff level, move through an area ad- visory committee and finally to'a school board advisory committee composed of teachers, trustees and ratepayers. The school board advisory committee is now per- mitted under the Schools Ad- ministration Act but the commit- ter recommended that they be made mandatory and that their role be strengthened. The Committee, known as the Committee of Inquiry Into Nego- tiation Procedures Concerning Elementary and Secondary Schools of Ontario, also recom- mended the establishment of a Pfofessional Research Bureau which would supply information and data to school boards and teachers involved in salary nego- tiations. The Bureau would also provide the same information to the tribunal, should the dispute fail to be resolved. The Committee recommended t mg t it s that the Bureau should be under the direction of a joint committee on research composed of five teachers selected by the Ontario School Trustees Council. The operation of the tribunal and the Research Bureau would be financed by the Ministry of Education. The committee took as its basic concept that conflict in teacher - school board relationships should be and can be virtually eliminat- ed. The committee noted that the history ,of relationships between teachers and school -boards in On- tario has been. characterized by "truly remarkable rapport". The committee stated that this is the ground on which further develop- ment must be built. The committee stated that if the joint negotiation process is tO be effective, the provincial gov- ernment must accept the fact that Ontario's teachers should be compensated at both the same salary and benefit level as that paid for occupations of equal skill in the wealth producing sector of the economy... The committee also ;econF mended that in order to broad communication within the eduea* tional community the 1Vlinistel' hold an annual conference with representatives from all areas t)f the educational community. The committee agreed with the Ma- jority of submissions from teach- ers and trustees that salary negro. tiations should be conducted at the board level. However, the members reje ted the strike as. a method of wttlement and also stated that work to rule tactics by teachers were not only unprbfes- sional but possibly illegal. Mr. Wells said that although, the report is under active study by the Ministry, no position has been taken with respect to it. He. said policy will only be devised. after consideration of opinions from all interested groups, teach- ers, school trustees, school ad- ministrators and the public. He asked that all interest :.`d groups make their submissions?, o him by October 30. In November' he will meet with representatives of the Ontario Teachers' Federa- tion and the Ontario School teles' Council, the two groups most concerned with the report's ,recommendations. Mf. Wells said that he hoped to be able to announce policy before :the end of .:the year. "The whole purpose of this Re- p9rt, and the kind of involvement am seeking, is to try to prevent.- , the kind of struggles which no - 'body wins and which invariably injure the children and young people in our schools. Among reasonable people involved in education, there must be a method of reaching agreement which avoids 'non-negotiable' is- sues, harsh rejections, impos- sible demands and unacceptable reactions." "In Ontario we have a mud* better chance of achieving this than practically anywhere else. in this province we have. enjoyed more harmonious relationships ty.een teachers, school boards and the Ministry of Education than virtually any other province in Canada or state in the U.S. We have seen teacher strikes and Are You A BARGAIN HUNTER ?

In various provinces of Canada, we have seen everything from militant demonstrations to pro- longed work -stoppages to blatant political involvement. But in On- tario things have not deteriorated in this way." "What we have to do now and what 1 hope will be a common ob- jective among all parties, is to consciously' work to maintain and improve our enviable situation," Mr. Wells said. Judge R. W, Reville chaired the three-man committee. The other members were Mr. Lloyd Hems- worth, former vice president in- dustrial relations, Kimberly- Clark Ltd., and Mr. B. S. Ony..s: chukcof Thomson Rogers, Barris- ters, Toronto. During its tenure the commit- tee received 61 briefs and held public hearings in 15 centres, at which 76 presentations were made. The committee also ..examined salary negotiation pro- cedures in other educational jurisdictions. COOKING MONSTERS WINGHAM - Meeting three was held at Mrs. Jacklin's home. Each member named a fish, flesh or fowl dish. The leaders showed three ways to serve baked beans, with . catsup, tomato soup 'and canned beans. The the fourth meeting Mary Norman demonstrated a tuna casserole. Discussion was on cast- seroles and easy top -stove main courses. For roll call each mem- ber Stated her favorite casserole recipe. FAKE PLASTIC SURGERY. Fake a plastic surgery job on, your jowls, your double chin, sunken eyes or hollow cheeks with cosmetics. Get a basic shade of glamor base (mature skins need a moisturized base almost more than any other cosmetic), then buy a shade or so lighter and a shade or so darker'in the same type base. Use the darker tone where you want to de -accent the jowls and, multiple chin; use the lighter tone where you want to plump out cheeks and bring your eyes up from the' depths. Be sure to blend the tones at the edges so • that no demarcation line shows henrAtOvginterm Snake charmers have been performing their craft throughput India for' centuries. Today, they are an organized group of professionals who perform in front of enthusiastic tourists. Indian Snake Charmers Perform for Tourists DELHI, India -The gentle- man pictured here is a real charmer -and like Linus, the famous Charlie Brown car- toon character, he too believes in the great pumpkin, He's a professional man - one of the many snake charm- ers practising his art through- out the country of India, There is now a community of these men whose work con- sists of catching cobra snakes, ' training them, and finally per- forming with them in front of enthusiastic crowds of tourists. Unlike Linus, snake charm- ers in India do not actually sit in a .pumpkin patch., But they do rely upon this yellow fruit to make their living. The mu- sical instrument used .to charm ttie cobra from its box is made from dried pumpkin skin. The cobra is indigenous to India. Tourists watching snake charmers at work outside In- Adian hotels can get a close glimpse of these intriguing rep- tiles without fear of being bit- ten, because all cobras used by snake charmers are de -fanged. The cobra has a colourful history. A festival called Naga Panchami is held each year in the north of India to honour this snake. According to Hindu mythology, the cobra is asso- ciated with fertility. The legend states that if a woman 'feeds milk to the snake at the time of the festival, chances of bear- ing children are increased. Outside of Madras; in south- ern India, a snake farm has been established as a tourist attraction. Several varieties of snakes can be observed here. Who knows - perhaps, if yo4► pay a visit to India, you could pick up a giant cobra as a pet. It would certainly be a conver- sation piece .
