He added he did not know the inspector had come in response to a complaint and was assured by the officer it was simply a routine visit. On the question of contract negotiations, Mr. Salvona disagreed with company suggestions that the ,union had been responsible for breaking off talks. The company, not the union, called off a meeting set for March 20, he said, and since then the negotiating teams have been unable to find another day when both were free. As for the company's request that the strike deadline be extended to allow talks to continue, he said such an agreement would have taken away one of the union's only means of forcing meaningful bargain- ing. "We will meet with. the company any time they choose, providing I don't have to neglect my other duties," he said, explaining he is currently involved in negotiations with three other Look what is under one roof and all at discount, prices - here in Wingham.

"We have agreed to a number of items proposed by the company. Absolutely none of the proposals originally submitted by the union have been accepted by the company." He said the union has asked for a two-year con- tract while the company's "first and only" offer was for three years, but added neither that nor monetary items are major stumbling blocks. More vital are clauses regard!ng seniority 'rights and the statusof probationary employees, he said, and he denied the company has withdrawn its. proposals for changes -to seniority clauses. "They withdrew some portions of the proposals, but did not withdraw them completely." The union's previous contract was signed, following conciliation ef- forts, on April 24, 1981, and expired Dec. 31, 1983. Meetings with a conciliator at Stratford on Feb. 23 failed to produce results, Mr. Salvona said, and the union was in a legal strike position as of midnight March 23. at the Wingham r_goP, Public School J Editors: Jason Ducharme Kevin Smith N The March break is over and it's back to school again for all pupils.

The Wingham Advance -Times, livIar6h 28, 19114—Page 5 Build education centre at Wawanosh Valley The old barn sits on the hill which gently rolls down to a tree -lined stream which in turn runs into the mighty Maitland River. This is the more than an idyllic setting. It is a conservation site at the Wawanosh Valley Con- servation Area, south of Wingham. The site is owned by the Maitland Valley Conserva- tion Authority which is in the process of establishing an education centre on it. For now, part of the old barn has been renovated to make a classroom. The classroom is above the barn's foundation and al- though not yet finished, there is enough work done to en- able the visitor to visualize students chattering over their discoveries of nature. Unfinished cedar panels cover the walls of the class- room. A kitchen area with cupboards and a sink are in a corner next to the cloak- room. Not elaborate, the kitchen will suffice for cleaning any specimens gathered by the students. The Maitland Valley Con- servation Authority is snak- ing a commitment to provide conservation education to the students in its watershed, says MVCA's public rela- tions' co-ordinatior Marilyn Wightman. About $20,000 to $25,000 will be spent by Whitechurch Personals Mrs. Wallace Wilson of West Wawanosh visited Wednesday with Mr. and Mrs. Victor Emerson.

St. John's Lodge reminded of Masonic special projects BRUSSELS' — At the regular monthly meeting of St. John's Masonic Lodge last week, Donald Dunbar, ais`i ict chairrinan of Masonic education, spoke about the different projects that are supported by the con- tributions of Masons to the organization. Some students do not have the necessary financial backing to go on in their chosen careers, he said, even though they have the ability and desire to go on to college to receive special education. The Masonic Foundation has donated bursaries to help these young people. Thousands of dollars also have been donated to other projects as well such as: deafness research, autistic homes, hearing-impaired children, multiple sclerosis, the Canadian 4-H Council, Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, St. John Ambulance, the Cancer Society,, building a memorial hos`Atal in Nor- thern Ontario and other special projects. Another special project of Masonic Lodges is giving blood donations which save the lives of many people in emergencies. Brotherly love, relief and truth are worthwhile standards, for everyone, he said. The members were thank- ful to Mr. Dunbar for reminding them of those principles and the many worthwhile projects sup- ported by Masons. Brussels gets grant to rehabilitate its dam BRUSSELS — The federal government has earmarked $260,199 to the village of Brussels for rehabilitation of its dam. The grant will enable the village, in cooperation with the Maitland Walley Con- servation Authority, to make improvements' to the dam as well as create an estimated 24 jobs for 22 weeks.

The grant was made possible through the federal government's Job Stimulus Program which is designed to create employment op- portunities for Canadians. l MVCA on the classroom for materials and labor. Ms. Wightman says to fur- ther that committment be- yond the classroom, a com- mittee of MVCA staff along with representatives from both the Huron -Perth Separ- ate School Board and the Huron Board .of Education will be set up later this year. Both school boards have approved in principle the idea of a conservation edu- cation centre. Such approval has not yet been obtained by other school boards whose jurisdiction lies within the Maitland watershed. The public relations' co-or- dinatior says the committee will work on relating conser- vation education to the schools' curriculum. Ms. Wightman hopes a pi- lot project will be establish- ed in the fall which would en- able classes to visit the site. The Authority currently has a conservation education teacher who travels, when requested, to schools within the watershed. She is Debbie ,Perkin and one of her goals is to assist teachers in plan- ning lessons to be used at the conservation area. But what does Wawanosh Valley offer that most rural schools can't find in their backyard? Ms. Wightman says Wa- wanosh Valley has both a stream and river system within its boundaries. The stream is about 50 yards from the barn and from there, another 200 yards brings the stream into the Maitland River. Soil conservation and methods of controlling soil erosion are demonstrated at the site. Some of the general topics Ms. Wightman sees being covered in conservation edu- cation include a basic awareness of the outdoors and why conservation authorities were formed. The classroom can be used year round. Rabbit tracks can he fol- lowed in the winter months on snow shoes or cross coun- try skis. Signs of spring, such as flooding can be observed and the rest of the seasonal changes make the Wawa - nosh area an ideal spot to ob- serve nature. Mr. and Mrs. Brad Sacks of Hanover. Mrs. Olive Boss has returned to Wingham and District Hospital from Stratford General Hospital. Mr. and Mrs: Mack Stewart of Waterloo visited Monday with Mr. and Mrs. Carl McClenaghan.
