Like an aged dowager tur-
ning to the aid of cosmetics to
eradicate the ravages of time
upon her face - so Clinton is
turning to the aid of the ar-
chitects and contractors to
rejuvenate the facades of her
buildings. After all, the "old
girl" nearing her 100th birth-
day has to have some sort of a
facelifting before the big party
next year. If the present
renovations along Albert Street
are any indication of a trend -
Clinton will be a credit to her
townsfolk in 1975.
Pollution Committee of the
Clinton Environmetital
provement Program held its
first meeting on September 18,
The slightly ponderous title
hasn't slowed the committee
members who are off to a fine
start, Members present were
Ken Wood, chairman, Ruth
Roy, Anne Cunningham, Rita
Ryan, Carol BowIter, Lorine
Denomme, Marg Makins,
Marion McCann, Evelyn
Galbraith, Marlene Cun-
ningham and Lori Corrie. The
prime objectives of the Anti-
Pollution Committee will be;
1, Control of litter,
2, Noise abatement policies
and enforcement.
3, Disposal of leaves.
4. Recycling of garbage.
5. Cleaning up unsightly lots,
6. Control degree of air and
water pollution,
7. Control of dust in unpaved
areas.
8. Influence nesting areas of
birds.
Some very worthwhile
suggestions arising from the
meeting were: - a weekly blitz
on litter conducted by students;
occasional blitz on weeds (i.e.
playground children in the
summer); a Litterthon for
raising money and beautifying
the town; determine respon-
sibility for sweeping sidewalks.
Teachers at community colleges across
Ontario, including the Clinton Center .of
Conestoga College of Applied Arts and
Technology, are prepared to take drastic
measures, even go on strike, to back up
their demands for a contract with the
provincial government.
Ivan Mohammed, president of the
Conestoga branch of the Civil Servants
Association of Ontario, (CSAO), represen-
ting the teachers, said during interview last
week that the teachers would strike, which
is forbidden by provincial law governing
civil servants.
He is a member of the teachers' eight-
man negotiating team which began
meetings Tuesday in Toronto in
preparation for negotiations with the
government. If the government refuses to
negotiate, then teachers will prepare to
strike, he said.
He outlined teacher demands which in-
clude:
A 25 per cent wage increase over two years;
Flexible costs of living considerations;
Reasonable assurances for teachers of job
security
Salary parady for librarians with teachers;
Two months vacations for councillors.
The teachers have worked without a con-
tract since September 1, 1973.
'.-W--Mohattirtied• said' the general mood -
among,teachers in community colleges, in- = eluding' .Coneatoga's Waterloo 'Center
E.: where he teaches, is one of hope that a set-
dement will be reached.
He stressed, however, that teachers are
willing to strike.

from Mr. Mohammed to teachers at the
Clinton Center, echoed his feelings about
the mood of the teachers.
She said instructors there want to settle
with the government but they are willing to
stop teaching.
Teachers realize their responsibilities to
students but the rising cost of living makes
the government offer unsatisfactory, she
said.
The government's latest offer was made
June 18. It consisted of a seven per cent
raise, retroactive to September 1, 1973; a
nine per cent increase effective September
1, 1974; an increase from $400 to $500 in
the annual merit increment for 1974-75;
and a lump sum payment of $275.
Over a two-year contract this would give
teachers a 19.74 per cent increase in pay,
according to press release from the Ontario
Council of Regents, which governs the af-
fairs of community colleges.
Contract talks between council represen-
tatives and teachers have had a long,
troubled history, Mr. Mohammed said.
They began in May, 1973. After talks got
nowhere, the two parties went to a provin-
cial mediator. The government stood firm
on its offer which teachers rejected.
Next they went before an arbitration
board. There were two government appoin-
- tees and one teacher on the board, ,„
"We got rb-aked," gobare.aesi said.
Teachers disagreed 'With havink a tioiird ..'r*
weighted to the government's side, As a
result they picketted the arbitratidn board
hearing, demanding that each side appoint
a member of the board. In turn, these
members would decide on a chairman,

In our issue of September 12
we carried a picture of a car
bearing the license plate
BHRRRR from Alaska. Since
then Koine of you perhaps have
seen a similar picture in the
London Free Press with the ex-
planation, For any who
haven't, we can report that the
owner of the car, Mr. Holmes,
dropped into our office last
week. Although a native of
Seaforth, he has lived in
Alaska for 42 years. Now
retired from his profession of
teaching, Mr. Holmes ex-
plained that the four R's on the
license plate stand for Reading,

Last weekend the 'Mid-
Western Ontario Queen of the
Fairs Contest was held at
Lucknow. Recent queens of
winter carnivals, fairs, etc. were
eligible to compete, with the
winner moving on to the Miss
Dominion of Canada contest.
Clinton's own Karen Tyn-
dall, our last year's Winter
Carnival Queen, was second
runner up out of 16 contestants.
The queen chosen was Miss
Kincardine - Sandra Peter.
Karen is now enrolled in her
first year of Registered Nursing
at Guelph General Hospital.

Our town is about to lose the
service of one of the Recreation
Centre's hardest working
specialists. Jim "Cracker"
Collins will be leaving shortly
to assume new duties at the
Mitchell arena. Married, with
two children, Jim is a native of
Kincardine and came to Clin- '
ton some years ago. He has
been at our Community Centre
since its second year of
operation in 1968. Good Luck
Jim and thanks for a job well
done.

A real first for Clinton came
last week when the Anti-
=
K.S. Wood D,C, of Clinton
was re-elected. to the Beard of
the Ontario Chiropractic
Association at the Annual Con-
vention of the Association, held
at the Hyatt Regency Hotel,
Toronto, Sept. 20-22, Dr. Wood,
who is a former OCA president,
will serve as a director during
the coming year,
During the three-day
meeting, chiropractors from
across Ontario heard Dr. John
Kos of Winnipeg discuss his
research on the frequency of
physical disorders caused by
lack of regular, vigorous exer-
cise, especially in children. The
OCA has presented a brief to
Ontario's minister of
education, Hon. Thomas Wells,
urging a minimum of half an
hour daily compulsory physical
education in Ontario schools.
The brief, based on Kos'
research, has also been presen-
ted to the minister of education
of Manitoba, and to The Hon.
Marc Lalonde, federal minister
of health.
Other speakers included Dr.
Joan Partridge of the Ken-
tuckians Children's Centre,
Louisville, KY,, a treatment
centre for handicapped
children,

The government balked but teachers
voted to avoid arbitration. The government
relented and the two sides went into six
days and nights of negotiations which
-proved fruitless when government walked
out after teachers said lump sum payments
weren't necessary if they could be given
assurances of continuing employment.
One issue won by teachers, was the
witholding by government of union dues
paid by nursing instructors. Government
said that the dues would be given to the
withholding by government of union dues
reached.
Teachers took legal action against what
Mr. Mohammed described as common
theft.
Threatened with being taken to court,
the government gave the money back to the
teachers' union with accumulated interest.
Mr. Mohammed said that Conestoga
College has budgeted a 34 per cent total in-
crease for teachers with a $ 119,000 sur-
plus. This is for a 10 per cent raise, 10 per-
cent retroactive pay and a 14 per cent in-
crease in fringe benefits.
Other community colleges have similar
amounts of money in their budgets, he said.
