On the left is Moe Buck, strike committee representative. T-A photo Police required to allow truck loading at strike-bound plant Made unofficially but the idea of waiting for a year without the cost of living clause was rejected by the strike committee representatives Ken Glavin, Moe Buck, Glen Stewardson and Paul Mason. In a prepared release from the, company head office in . Toronto, Dunline claimed that the offer of 60 cents per hour "including benefits" was' equivalent to a 17 percent in- crease, The benefits, according to the release, cost the company 80 cents per hour per employee, "In other words, the per- centage increase offered by the company is equal to, if not better, over a one year period, than the majority of nationallsettlementsin Canada." said the release, The release concluded that the company has been trying to become profitable in the past few years and unless this is achieved this year, the future of Dunline is "in jeopardy". Several orders have been cancelled or deferred indefinitely and if a settlement was made at this time on the company's terms, "the substantial reduction in orders will mean that the present number of employees will not be required for some considerable time," the release stated. Foundation — Continued frem front page Walker Woods could have done many other things , with their money, but their dollars kept intact one small area that only milleniums of undisturbed nature could replace—if ever," he said. Noting conservation slogans such as "yours to enjoy, not to destroy", he explained that words alone would not suffice and required some financial backing as well. "The areas your Foundation and Authority are trying to save today are our last chance to keep some of our natural values as they were instead of disap- pearing before our eyes," he went on, noting that once these are gone, they are beyond recall. "We justmust save some of these values while there is time and while we are here to do it, " the audience was advised. He likened the Foundation to the planting of a tree, having its trials and troubles, "but as of tonight it has been planted, and this planting will symbolize, as truly as any tree, growth. Too, its projects, like shade, will spread to all corners of this watershed." Elgin Thompson, Authority chairman and head of the new Foundation as well, said the officers of the new organization _would be working hard to make people aware of the benefits that could accrue from their donations. He explained that donations made were tax deductible. Huron MPP Jack Riddell also spoke briefly at the banquet, suggesting, that municipalities should start -to enforce their tree cutting bylaws. He termed a "real crime" the fact that some people cleared valuable timber to make way for 10 acres of white beans. "It may be better to have walnuts," he said, pointing out that beans werenow priced at $12 while a walnut tree had recently sold for $15,000. Executive members of the Foundation include: Elgin Thompson, Tuckersmith, chairman; Ted Pooley, Exeter vice-chairman; Fred Heaman, McGillivray, second vice- chairman. Directors are John Stephens, Blanshard; Freeman Hodgins, Parkhill; William Amos, Parkhill; Ivan Hearn, Lucan; Jack Tinney, Hay; Roy Westcott, Usborne. Need fire chief for town duties At the suggestion of Reeve Derry Boyle, the Exeter and area fire board will be asked to reduce the amount of time spent by Fire Chief Gary Middleton on his duties. At the present time, Middleton has two days in which to un- dertake his duties as fire chief and works the other three days with the town's works depart- ment. Boyle noted that the works department required more assistance and suggested that Middleton be available for four days and only one as fire chief. The general contractor is expected to move into Exeter this week to commence work on the completion of the local sanitary sewer system. Work has already commenced on the enlargement of the lagoon facility. Works superintendent Glenn Kells said he expected to be provided with a tentative work schedule and suggested this be placed in the newspaper so residents would have some idea of when they could expect work to begin in their area. Recalling the problem en- countered at the time of the construction of the Andrew St. sewer two years ago, Mayor Bruce Shaw said council should follow through on a suggestion made at that time that all residents be notified of the steps they would be required to take at the time of construction and to hook into the sewer, "A lot of people didn't know what they had to do and had a great deal of difficulty," he recalled.As an example, he said many residents didn't realize they had to get in touch with a plumber to have their hookup planned. It was agreed that the public works committee and Kells would draft a letter that would be published in the newspaper as well as delivered to each home when interviews are being conducted as to where residents wished their sewer lateral placed, A potentially violent labour confrontation was averted on Thursday morning when the Ontario Provincial Police moved onto the property of Dunline Limited at Huron Park. The situation arose when picketers, on strike at the Dunline plant since May refused to allow pipes and fittings belonging to Rio Algom Mines of Elliott Lake to be loaded on a transport truck. The pipe and fittings had been sent to Dunline for shot blasting and rubber lining but since the strike started on May 1, the work was not being completed.Rio Algom then cancelled the con- tract and sent the truck to take the material to another con- T-A photo That information will probably be available next week. In another matter pertaining to public works, Kells reported that the contract for reconstructioniof Andrew St. and Sanders St. had been tendered and would be opened on June 9. While the work is all included in one contract, Kells explained that it had been presented in two parts so one could be eliminated if council • did not have enough money to finance both. The ministry of transportation and communication has ap- proved the two projects, but advised council this week that sidewalk included on both streets was not eligible for subsidy. Total length of the sidewalk involved is 1,133 feet. tractor in Sudbury. Striking employees, mernbersof the United Auto Workers, placed their cars around the pile of pipe and for about five hours, strikers, police and the trucking crew stared at each other. Company representative Tom Patterson appeared at the trouble spot to read from a telex message that the order had been cancelled and the material was being removed. "This pipe is the property of Rio Algom," said Mr. Patterson. "You are going to have to move your cars." The cars did not move. The strikers said they would not move their cars but they would not interfere with workers loading the pipe, Instead of loading directly onto the tran- sport truck, the heavy pipe would have to be carried by hand for a distance of about 20 feet. Talk of tow trucks circulated. Huddling, the strikers agreed to move their cars voluntarily if the tow trucks arrived. "Why don't they just talk with us? asked one striker. "That's all we want is to start talking again and they refuse." Moe Buck, one of the strike committee, related how a con- cilliator from the Department of Labour had stated that "most companies are interesed in the welfare of their employees but yours isn't." The strikers while unhappy Discuss duty of committee At the recent meeting of Huron Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society held in Seaforth, mem- bers listened to a panel discussion on the duties of the planning, development and nominations committee. Sitting in on the panel was the Southwestern District chairman of that committee, Charlie Duffin of Thorndale, and John McKay, Sarnia, president of South- western, Chester Archibald, president and Mrs. Helen Davies, P.D.N. chairman of Huron unit. A film produced by Ontario Division was used to introduce the subject, and discussion followed concerning the im- portance of the committee, and the necessity of a knowledgeable Chain-I-Ian and vice-chairman to recruit vital, interested and dedicated officers for the unit. The importance of the com- mittee in relation to planning and development was also stressed. The service to patients com- mittee carries out widespread and very worthwhile work, but the education, commemoration funds and campaign personnel are equally important. Mr. Duffin stated "The roll of the Society is changing. Don't just drift, go out and get people in- terested and involved." During the business session, the committee reports pointed up just how much is being ac- complished. Ross McDaniel unit campaign chairman, com- plimented all branch chairmen and their canvassers for their united efforts, having raised to date $17,423.58. "Hopefully we will be able to reach our objective of $29,500.00 for 1975," he said. The annual dinner meeting will be held on September 29 at •the White Carnation, Holmesville with Ron Calhoun of Thamesford as guest speaker. Tickets are! already available to the public, and the president hopes for a good attendance.

DUNI:0AS Stephen R.Dundas of Crediton passed away in South Huron hospital, Exeter on Sunday May were not in an 'ugly' Mood. During the long hours of waiting, they chatted somewhat amiably with police and the truckers. Their fight, they said, was with the company. After many phone calls to Dunline's head office in Toronto and to Rio Algom, the decision was made to load the pipe, With police standing by, workers began loading the pipe with no interference from the istrikers apart from the, occasional verbal insult. The loading was com- pleted without incident by late in the day. Union wants clause After striking May 1, negotiations with the company produced an offerof 60 cents per hour increase over the current rate of $3.80. The 38 strikers voted to reject the offer stating they wanted a cost of living clause 'inserted in their contract im- mediately. During the confrontation an offer of 60 cents an hour for the first year with an additional 30 cents per hour and a cost of living clause in the second year was Renovations are progressing well Renovations at the Scout Hall, to be the Well-Come Inn, have been going on for the past few weeks, but according to Murray Neil, the group's chairman, no more work is going to be done for a little while. Mr. Neil said they are waiting for the Lions Club, owners of the building, to "clear up a few things," before any more work will be done. Work on the interior thus far has included the painting of the main room and the kitchen and strapping of the rooms, Another senior's bus trip to Niagara Falls, similar to the date, an official opening would be held then. recent one to the Home Show in Toronto and to the Senior citizen centre in Waterloo, has remained in the suggestion stages, ac- cording to recreation director Jim McKinlay. The, main thrust of the seniors now, said McKinlay is to get the Scout Hall ready for an opening. An official opening of the Well- Come Inn is tentatively planned for some time during Senior Citizen Week, which runs from June 14 to 21. While McKinlay said the Inn will probably be opened for activities before that NE:WglMEMMOMMERMSM Think about it! A class reunion is when everyone gets,together to see who is falling apart. The fact that a man died does not prove that he has lived. He who limps is still walking. No man ever got to the top of the ladder without friends and felloW workers steadying it for him. A cocktail room is a half-lit lounge full of half-lit loungers, Old termites never die. They just get board and lumber on. How much better the world would be if people would let opportunity do all the knocking. Old girdles never die. They just lose their snap. Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish REV. J.
