heni. ffhe new pact
gfementary school
teachers, employed by the
Huron County .pard of
Education, voted on- Monday
to accept the terms of a new
agreement hammered out.
last week. The Board voted to
approve the agreement at 'a
special meeting on November
2.
Meeting at the Clinton
Public School the teachers
voted by a 201 to eight margin
in favor of the proposal which.
was drawn up after lengthy
negotiations with the Board of
Education.
Contract details are not to
be released until the
teachers' representatives
have met with the board. It is
expected that a joint
statement will be made at
that time.
According to a Govemmert
Fact Finder's report released ,
in early November the
teachers had earlier turned
down an offer of an average
eight per cent increase plus a
1.7 per cent cost of living
bonus. The teachers were
also unhappy over allowances
for principals of schools for
the trainable retarded and
other vice principtails as- well
as some fringe ber #fits.
The teachers and Board
representatives had been
negotiating since spring but
adjourned negotiations over
the summer. ,

Young Bluevale swine breeder
\again has top indexed boar
Young Donald Henry, RR 1,
Bluevale, again had the
'highest indexing boar in the
group of 104 boars which
completed test at the -Ontario
Swine Test Station, New.
Hamburg. This high indexing
Yorkshire boar had a . per-
formance index of 147 which
combined low backfat
thickness of .53 inches, fast
average daily gain on test of
2.24 pounds per day and
excellent feed conversion of
only 2.34 pounds feed per
pound gain.
Following the Henry boar
were three other Yorkshires
from the herds of Royfledley,
Canfield, 1Vlurray Bancroft,
Newton arid -Arnold Cook,
Belgrave with indices of 140,
139 and 136.
Top Landrace with an index
0f 145 was from the herd of
John Boehm, - St. Jacobs;
while the• top indexing
Hampshire was from the herd
of Andy Schertzer, Tecum-
seh.
Top Duroc with an index of
125 was from the herd of
Warren & Richard Stein,
Woodstock.
Thirty-six of the top boars
in the 'November group in-
cluding the top indexing ones
mentioned above will be sold
at the Test Station on
November 25th at 1:30 p.m.
As all boars at the Test
Station -are "fed and handled
under uniform conditions,
buyers can be sure that
superior performance is due
to true genetic superiority for
low backfat, fast gains and
good feed conversion which

Bluewater Cable TV, which
serves Clinton, Goderich,
ffolmessviile and Vanastra,
is providing .the best Service
possible, given the kind of`TV-
signals they ,.have to work
with.
That is the assessment of
the .Canadian Department of
Transport who . carry out
periodic checks on the system
to see it ` it is providing
adequate service.
David Ronaldson of the -
Landon district office of the
federal department told the
News -Record last week that
the Cable companies can only
pass on a signal as good as
what is received at the an-
tenna. They cannot improve
it if it is bad, whatever the
reasons..
Mr. Ronaldson says the
Department, which is a
watchdog over 23,000 radio
stations in the London
district, including 14,000 CB
radios classifies TV signals
into three categories, ac-
cording to the distance they
are from the emitting source,
or TV statin.
In the ,best category, called
the "A" contour, Bluewater
has only one station, Channel
8 'in ,. • "Acon
stations are 30 miles or 1e4 ;
from the Cable TV antenna,
In the second best category.
or "b" contour, are other
stations from 30 to 60 miles
away, and include Channel

The rest of the ,stations on
Bluewater's- dial, namely
Windsor, 9; - .Hamilton, 11;
Detroit, 2; Detroit, 4; Detroit
7; and Bayity 5; are in what
the Transport department
calls the "marginal"
receiving area.
Mr. Ronaldson said the
reception,. from the marginal
stations can vary from good
to almost nil, depending on a
number of factors, including
weather conditions.
Even the reception from
the "B" contour stations can
vary because ofipoorweather
conditions.
The department of tran-
sport does a periodic random
check of Bluewater's signal
by going into different homes
and monitoring the cable.
"We found that the picture
distribution on cable is a
faithful reproduction of that
received at the head end (or
antenna site)," Mr.
Ronaldson said.
He also said if people have
a complaint to make about
the cable system, then they
should phone Bluewater first,
as the company stand to lose
the most if their cultorriers
aren't happy.
Mr. Ronaldson said th,a
sometimes an amplifier along
the system will malfunction,
and that Bluewater would
want to know about it right
away.
Mr. Ronaldson also added
that it takes three tim , .a
much signal strength - to
produce color as black and
white, so that is why color
may vary in the more distant
stations. .
