Workers on Strike
At Hensall Plant ,
At hleneall there was iso. sign
at 'a, break in the strike at Gen-
erni Comet Works its more ,than
30 workers stayed `.off thole jobs
following the collapse of contract
negotiation last `1'hursdaY. . The
company elaims 43 of the payroll
of 75 still working;' the union
elajms only 15 are working,
-Pickets et the plaut gates have
started electing a strike head-
quarters, Thomas Harkness, busi-
ness agent for local 3054, United
Brotherhood of Carpenters acrd
Joiners, said the union 'is flatlet'
sating a lengthy strike.
The plant is continuing the
production of mobile homes, how-
ever, said, Ernest Chlpchase, plant
superintendent,,
Local 3054 was. certified as ,bar-,
gaining agent for all production.
workers last May and on, June 9
opened negotiations for its first
.contract..
The union is asking .for a 16X;
cents per hour increaee as recon
mended by a conciliation board
and • a 254 -hour reduction in the
work week to 45 hours. I•t asks
that 61/, cents of the iucrease be
applied to the 45 -hour week until,
April 1 and a further 10 cents at
that time.
Present basic wage is $1.21 an
hour,
William 0 Smith, general man-
ager of the plant, was not avail-
able for comment.
Mr, Harkness said the company
argued it could build trailere in
its Marlette, Mich., works and
ship them to Canada more;cheap-
ly than to abide by the union 'de-
mands. But, he claimed, trailers
imported from the U.S. are sub-
ject to 20 per cent excise tax.
Mr, Harkness said the U.S.
plant's basic wage is $1.60 an hour
with au inorease to 31.90 in. 30
days. No such increase applies to
the Hensall plant, he said,
"These nien are the lowest paid
workers in this industry," he said
of the Hensall workers.
The union claims supplies
shipped to the plant by truck are
not going through the gates, the
picket line being honored by the
Teamsters Union. Mr. •Ohipchase
claimed supplies are continuing
to enter the .plant.

FIRESIDE FARM FORtTM
On Feb. 29•th 20 adults of the
Fireside Farm Forum met at the
home of Mr, and Mrs. Geo. Flog-
gart. The topic was very inter-
esting one, being education, is it
a job or an organization?
The rural co-op and Federation
of Agriculture do much to edu-
cate thhe people by sending out
weekly and monthly bulletins and
papers. The farmers union also
have their own paper. The radio
and TV are given financial aid by
the farm forum and cream produ-
cers. The Rural Co=O.perator is..a
paper sent free be the United Co -
Ops of Ontario, The Market -Place
is a monthly bulletin sent by the
Ontario Hog Producers Associa-
tion.
The Ontario Department of Ag-
riculture assists by bursaries and
scholarships for young people.
The 4-H Clubs assist at Junior
Farmers and Junior Institutes,
seed fairs, workshops, craft com-
petition, farm leadership course
in Guelph. Safe driving contests,
essays on •CaOps—these are some
of the facilities for education. We
believe the Co -Ops are now spend-
ing as much as they can afford
for education.
TV programa, radio, leadership
courses and vocational training
are among the most effective ways
for help for farm people.
Airs. Robert Jamieson offered
her home far nett week.
Winners at euchre were: most
games—Mrs. Robert Riley, Oliver
Anderson; lone hands—Mrs. Don
Buchanan, Jim Jamieson; cons.,

TEAMING TO TOWN
ON A COLD WINTER'S DAY
There was 0110 morning in the
winter when even the rigors of
extreme cold didn't faze you in
any way. It was the .morning of
the wonderful day when yon were
allowed to go along with :your dad
and ':team" something •to town.
I•t night be logs for the sawmill,
Or wheat to the elevator, or fresh-
ly -butchered sides of pork for re-
gular customers, who bought in
the dead of winter when nature
provided natural refrigeration,
You were awake 6n the pre-
dawn -blackness listening intently
for the first sound of your father.
When he groaned and the bed
springs wheezed in . sympathy as
he swung his bare feet out search-
ing for the wisp of rag rug that
protected bare .feet from an icy
floor, you snatched your clothes
and started dressing in the comp-
arative security of the warm bed-
clothes.
The kindling would be snapping
in the stove as you same down
and the stovepipes would be just
starting to .ping as they expanded
with the heat. There would be a
small sifting of snow .under the
kitchen doer and your breath
clouded as you Helped trim break

there was the reservoir on the
stove to be tilled, and the ;pan of
mink which had gone into frosty
whiskers on top would be tpiaced

melt.
This was a morning of exoite-
ment and you didn't want to eat
but you were gently prodded into
It and reminded that .it was o,
long trip to .town and back. This
was father's joke, "Better eat up
because you won't get anything
until we get back."
After ,the final .chores there was
the :matter of preparing for the
trip. It was dead 'winter, and as

have a cap with lugs turned down

Then you were off in the 'half

that of a :frosty winter landscape
;with light just starting to peep
up from over the eastern rim of
the valley? The spruces are like

slopes, The team at first jogs

snow-covered road by the town-

runners pretesting on the frosty
track, the sloughing .sound e'f the
horses' •flanke and ,the jing-a-jong-

There isn't much talk, because
when you talk Jack Frost knifes
at your lungs. Somehow, in all his
bulkiness, your father manages to
light his :pipe and the scent of to-
