Province of Ontario at aa•z
Ceremony held March 29 at

Dear Readers
(continued from page 4)
smoking areas m lounges
outside classrooms should
also be established.
f -�
On the job, there are some
definite suggestions, too.
Suggestions are to permit
smokers on the job to have
short cigarekte breaks in non
work areas designated for
smoking; to provide non-
smokers, w,ith an opportunity
to work next . to other non-
smokers, where feasible; to
rule out smoking in confined
areas, particularly where
non-smokers are required to
be present (such as
elevators); and to encourage
and support employees in
their efforts to discontinue
smoking with cessation
clinics and counselling.
In short, the new govern-
ment guidelines make
smoking socially unac-
ceptable, and opt to
segregate smokers off into
their own corners where they
can do as little harm and
cause as little discomfort to
' thers as possible. It is high
time such action was taken,
and truly refreshing to see the
Ministry of Health taking
such an interest in the well-
being of non-smokers at long
last.
It won't be easy to get
smokers to co-operate with
such guidelines - and it is
certain the retraining will not
be accomplished overnight. It
is one. of those pebgrams
which requires a mass re-
education of the population -
to teach that smoking is now
considered in bad taste in
public places.
Statistics are showing
improvement where smoking
is concerned. Smokers are in
the minority now and by
banishing those that remain
back into the smokers'
lounges and making it in-
convenient to light up, itais
conceivable smoking will
become less and less at-
tractive to folks.
Maybe soon my no -smoking
sign in my ofce will get
some respect - eh, Boss???
mile. The new contract also
provides for an increase in
the accumulated sick days
from 200 to 220, as well as two
days• special leae without
loss of pay for urgent per-
sonal reasons, subject to
approval of the director of
education.
The new salary grid ranges
from $8,825 for level one
teachers with no experience,
to $23,395 for teachers who
have achieved level seven
with twelve years experience.
The average annual salary,
including increment, will
increase from $15,731 to
$16,975 for the contract year
1977-78. This represents an
increased cost to the board of
$213,425 forthe school year.
Both of the . chief
negotiators, Vincent Young of
Goderich for the board and
Sandy McQuillan of Seaforth
for the teachers, expressed
satisfaction with the set-
tlement.
Mr. Young said, "The
teachers were realistic in
what they were looking for,
consequently the negotiations
were solved within a short
period of time. A very good
settlement for the teachers
and for the board. I feel it'
puts the Huron -Perth
Separate board in a
favourable position regarding
the benefits offered to our
teaching staff, as well as an
attractive grid for future
employees." i
Mr. McQuillan said, 'As
chief negotiator for the
teachers; I feel that the
settlement reached is very
fair and equitable under the
present economic conditions.
The negotjating team was
very pleased•with the manner
in which the pew agreement
was reached."
