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

lie added the union has
been frustrated by the
company's failure to bargain
seriously on any of the- inion
proposals.
"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company has withdrawn its.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."

forts, on April 24, 1981, and

The March break is over
and it's back to school again
for all pupils. Everyone is
back into "school speed"
after coming from a slow,
lazy holiday. Tests are
pretty common in our school
this week, since report cards
will be going home very
shortly. Science projects are
being hastily worked on
these last few days. Like
always, the judges will pick
winners and those winners
will go on to compete. You
can come and see all these
science fair projects March
29 from 7 to 8 p.m. I'm sure
you'll be very pleased with
what you see and learn
something along the way.

St. Patrick" and "St. Patrick
Was An Irishman". Serrena
O'Neil, also did an excellent

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

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

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.

Hanover.
Mrs. Olive Boss has
returned to Wingham and

eight in attendance, met at
the manse with leaders Mrs.

The story, "The Greatness of
God's Love'; , based on
Psalm 103, was told by Mrs.
Moore. Each child made a
