STAINTON S
An energetic Scottish immi-
grant, William Lyon MacKenzie,
was the one person instrumental
in leading the fight for reform
dramatized in song and story by
Theatre Passe Muraille in their
production, "1837 — The Farm-
ers' Revolt".
MacKenzie came to Canada in'
1820 after the age of reform had
already come to Europe. Upper
Canada was ruled then by the
Family Compact, men of wealth
and position. They had little in
common with the ordinary people
- and often were suspected of being
less than honest. The poor and
ordinary were left to fight their
own battles and when they did
present a cause to the 'higher-
ups', they were very often ridi-
culed or just plain ignored.
MacKenzie saw that the Com-
pact was stifling the country's
Elementary
staff to vote
on agreement
Huron County elementary
school teachers are expected to
hold a ratification vote early next
`week on a tentative agreement
for a 1976-77 contract with the
Huron County Board of Educa-
tion. The board voted to ratify the
agreement at a special meeting
in Clinton on Monday evening.
The new contract would cover
about 360 elementary school
teachers employed by the Huron
board. Those teachers could have
gone on strike on November 13,
following the release of a provin-
cial fact -finders report Novem-
ber 3. According to that report
the main points separating the
sides were "money related" but
no details will be released on the
final agreement until it has been
ratified.
The fact -finders' report in-
dicated that the teachers were
not satisfied with the over all
financial offer made by the board
initially and were concerned with
allowances paid to prigcipals of
schools for the trainable retarded
and vice -principals at other
schools
(ether areas of concern in
eluded the extension of the num
her of days of sick leave allowed,
contributions to the staff im-
provement fund and the method
of payment of a costof-living al-
lowance.
At the time that report was re-
leased the teachers had rejected
a board offer which included an
eight per cent salary increase,
plus a 1.7 per cent cost -of -living
