We'll Do Huron County's first summer school opened in Clinton yesterday despite the decision by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation to "pink list" or boycott the classes, Four high school teachers were required to teach mathematics classes for the 50 or so high school students enrolled, Math is the only high school course offered this summer, Shirley Weary, local OSSTF spokesman, said Tuesday . the pink listing means no regular teachers will instruct summer school classes, Resolutions approved Stephen township council has endorsed two resolutions circulated by two Ontario municipalities. A resolution from the regional municipality of York is asking the province for more unconditional grants saying that money is now being spent un- necessarily on conditional grants for specific projects. The town of Seaforth resolution suggested that too much money was being spent when court cases are quite often remanded or adjourned causing witnesses to return sometimes several times before being heard. The same brief asked for more severe sentences in some instances. Council passed a bylaw allowing for application for a grant of $2,000 from the Ministry of the Environment for upgrading of the town- ship's waste disposal site on Concession 14. Severance applications were tetnatively approved for Frank Regier at part of Lot 9, Concession 11 and Richard Jennison at part of Lot '5, Lake Road West Concession. A zoning bylaw to cover the Green Forest subdivision being established by Philip Walden at part of Lot 1, Ausable Concession was approved. Bob Dykstra, representing Grand Coves Estates and several tenants appeared at a recent council meeting to oppose the establishment of a used car lot near their subdivision on part of Lot 2, Lake Road East Concession, The resignation of Larry Preszcator from the Credi ton fire department was accepted. Joanne McClinchey has joined the township office staff replacing Linda Oliver while she is on a leave of absence. Council is asking the Ontario Ministry of Revenue for a review of Section 86 of the Assessment Act to proceed with an adjustment of assessments based on 1975 values to go into effect for the 1980 taxation year. Boost YOUR HOME TOWN Shop at Home The pink listing followed the board's refusal to guarantee the OSSTF that three teachers laid off this year would be given the summer school jobs, "We are in a position of laying off teachers and we feel they should be given the first opportunity' to accept summer school jobs, she said. Declining enrolment forced the board to pare its staff to about 167 teachers from its current level of more than 170, However, attrition provided openings for all but three teachers. The summer school teachers will be paid $15 an hour for the six weeks of classes and Mrs. Weary said "six weeks (of work) is better than no weeks." The board has hired two substitute teachers from Huron County and two unemployed teachers from London to teach the classes, Board chairman John Elliott said that, while it would benefit the students to have regular teachers in charge of the summer school programs, he didn't think the program would suffer much. "The intention of the administration was to give the laid off teachers first crack (at the jobs) ... but Shirley's actions have just ruined it for them." Elliott said a provincial arbitrator has ruled that summer school is not the same as regular school and need not be part of the teachers' contract, as the OSSTF wants.
