HURON EXPOSITOR, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28, 1989
WHAT DID I SAY - Seaforth Manor resident Keith Herman show-
ed that more than a little dab would do, as he launched this whip-
ped cream pie at fellow resident Pat Ryan, and hit his target dead
on. Activity Director Sue Bain looked on. The event, the Manor's
first ever "Pies forAlzheimers",.augmented-thell(ianor'seundrais-
ing for Alzheimer's Disease by $80, and proved,a source of enjoy-
ment for both residents and staff, as well as members 'of -the
general public who participated. Mcllwraiih photo.

Former Exeter principal Bruce Shaw has
told the Huron County Board of Education
that he will be going to Goderich District
Collegiate Institute next year, and willbe
doing his best.
The Board opened its Monday, July 26
special meeting with a private session at-
tended by Mr. Shaw, his lawyer Kim
McLean, and the Board's lawyer Dan
Murphy.
"Bruce requested to come and speak to us
as a delegation so we allowed him to come,"
said Board Chairman John Jewitt. "Bruce
has stated he will be going to Goderich
secondary school as principal, and we are
pleased with that decision. We are looking
forward to good things in Goderich."
Mr; Jewitt clarified that Mr. Shaw had not
dropped his objection to the move from
South Huron to GDCI, but has decided he
will not fight the Move.

CN to cut its track
positions by half
Canadian National Railway employees could result in all kinds of problems along

"It's going to result in people being in-
jured, and eventually in loss of life."
He noted, as an example, that the Stria
ford force will be cut from 32 to 13, yet it
will be responsible for the supervision of
twice as much mileage of track.
CN, on the other hand, insists that
studies conducted by its engineers have
established that a reorganization and
mechanization of the track forces is
necessary, in order to provide a "substan-
tially more efficient and cost effective
maintenance of the company's trackage
while maintaining and improving upon the
current high safety standards". CN has in-
formed the Brotherhood of Maintenance of
Way Employees that such improvements
in safety, efficiency and economies will
further contribute to the company being
able to be more. competitive, and will .
hopefully attract and retain business.
"The changes contemplated by the com-
pany involve a reduction of current perma-
nent track forces, coupled with the in-
troduction of a variety of modern and state
of the art equipment such as boom trucks,
frog trucks, speed swings, crew crane
transporters, ballast regulators for snow
service, tie change -out machines and
miscellaneous small machines. The pro-
posed change will also involve the

kilone -.. s (300 miles) of unwanted CN
branch lines, after being notified that
nearly 1,500 permanent track force posi-
tions will be eliminated effective October
1, 1989. About 10 per cent of those lost jobs
will be in Southwestern Ontario, and
among those stations affected will be Clin-
ton and Mitchell.
Dave Collins, a 17 -year employee of CN
and an Assistant Foreman at Clinton, said
his job will be one of those lost, as CN gets
set to abolish 3,395 of its present perma-
nent positions, and establish 1892 new
ones. However, because he has protected
status (eight years or more of service) he
can not be laid off, only asked to relocate
elsewhere in the province.
"If I do want to keep my job, I have to
shove to Toronto," he said. "They've of-
fered us $18;000 to move to Toronto, but
what's $18,000 in Toronto."
Aside from the fact he is facing
unemployment, Mr. Collins said his wor-
ries about CN's move go much deeper. He
said he expects the cutbacks to impact
negatively on the safety of both CN's
emplod customers, as well as the
safetyof the ees n right-of-way and the quality
of track inspection.
"It's going to create a serious problem,"
he said, adding that lax track inspection
