Separate School Board Bill 100 creates. regarding trust Bill 100, the Act presently be- fore the . provincial parliamen known as The Teachers Collec tive Negotiations Act, 1975, wa the subject of a long discussion a the board meeting of the Huron Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board last Wee in Seaforth. Concerned about two points i the Bill, which is expected to given third reading and become law by the end of June, the board members agreed to send letters to the Minister of Education and the Ontario Separate School Trustees Association expressing this concern on section 9 of Part Two in the negotiations section which calls for "negotiations shall be carried out in respect of any term or condition of employ- ment put forward by either party." (The Ontario Separate School Trustees' Association in a ibulletin to all Separate School Board asks "Any term—does this mean that the right of a separate school board to appoint and re- move teachers, as it deems ex- pedient, especially in view of its denominational purposes, is sub- ject to negotiation and limi- tation?") t t k • n be • The other concern to be ex- pressed was of section 72 of Part Nine that decisions and rulings of the commission, fact finders, arbitrators, boards of arbitra- tion, selectors or the Ontario La- bour Relations Board may not be questioned nor reviewed in any court. (The Ontario Separate School Trustees' Association in the bulletin asks "With every kind of judicial review excluded, is it intended to eliminate in this way any appeal by a separate school board against infringe- ments on constitutional rights?") Board Chairman David Teahen ut Stratford, 'Trustee Howard Shantz, Stratford, personnel committee chairman and Joseph Tokar, Stratford, superintendent of education, attended a meeting in Toronto June 14 where Bill 100 will be the topic of discussion. School principal Clem Steffler of Kingsbridge, who attended the board session along with Sister Viola Feeney of Our Lady of Mount Carmel School, Hash - wood, and Mrs. Esther Rau of Precious Blood School, Exeter, thanked the trustees, particular= ly the four members of the salary negotiating team,'for the way the negotiations were conducted this year. , Mr. Steffler, Who was chair- man of the teachers' negotiating team and past chairman of the Huron -Perth Unit of the Ontario • English Catholic Teachers Association, said the settlement (30.1 per cent increase) was fair and just and "our faith in our trustees was returned and recon- firmed". • Mr. Steffler said, "We, the teachers and trustees, are part- ners in education. We are work- ing together towards one good, that is to develop in the pupils that are entrusted to our care, an understanding and appreciation of' the Christian ideals held dear by our church and Country.

Long-term members awarded service pins Veteran status should be grant- ed to at least half of the members of the Wingham and District Hos- pital Board for service- truly above and beyond the call of duty. Eleven persons, eight of whom are still serving on the board, were awarded service pins for their long years in office at a regular meeting of the board last Wednesday. Twenty-year pins were pre- sented to Chairman DeWitt Mil- ler, Secretary John Strong and board member J. V. Fischer. Barry Wenger, former chairman of the board although no longer a board member, was awarded a 15 -year pin. Board members Robert Gibson and Wallace Conn both .received 10 -year pins, while five-year pins were awarded to M. J. Craig, Howard Walker, Dr. J. C. McKim, former board member Jack Goodall and .form- er chairman Robert Ritter. In regular business, the board heard reports from the various committees. A statistical report for May presented by executive director Norman Hayes indicated that hospital admissions to date for 1975 are the same as those for the comparable, time period in 1974 but discharges have de- creased. Total hospital days have also decreased from 13,432 in 1974 to 12,674 at present. The active hospital summary for May is 7.8. The decrease in patient days , spent in the hospital was also re- flected.in the financialreport in- dicating the hospital was under - budget in overall expenses. Ad- justment for patient days would bring the underbudget figure to about $2,000. The Medical Advisory Com- mittee reported that the proposal to microfilm nurses records dis- cussed at a previous meeting has been tabled pending further in- formation and discussion. Dr. J. C. McKim also informed board members that three medical stu- dents have arrived at the hospital for the summer to work in the various departments. . Board members also discussed the possibility of commissioning • a portrait of former chairman Robert Ritter to be presented at the hospital. The costs involved and the possibility of cortnnia- stoning portraits for all the 'fes- er chairmen of the board were also debated.
