of Stratford. Howard Shantz of
Stratford was named as alter-
nate. Three priests will be ap-
ipointed to the committee by the
Duron -Perth Deanery;
Previously the committee was
much larger but was considered
too unwieldy to arrange meetings
„ and the committee members at
their July 4 meeting asked that it
be made a six -member commit-
tee.
Francis Hicknell, in reporting
the July 4 meeting of the Trustee -
Clergy reported on two other
areas that were .. discussed. He
said that it was agreed that each
pastor had prime responsibility
for assessing the Christian R.wit-
ness of the staff members in his
local• school.
Mr. Bicknell said concern was
expressed regarding the Grade 7
and 6 New Canadian • Catechism
` program. He said the committee
agreed that further study and de-
finite recommendations would
have to be made and that more
depth and substance were re-
quired to further an understand-
ing of Christian Catholicism.
A Motion requesting the ap-
pointment of a priest serving as a
resource person at board meet-
ings on matters pertaining to the
Catholic faith was defeated:. This
was discussed in committee of
the whole. It was felt that the
Trustee -Clergy Liaison Commit-
tee was available for advice and
guidance.

Stanley Plant
After two months of working
while onion and . company
negotiators tried to agree on a
new contract, 125 employees of
Stanley Door Systems Ltd.
walked off their jobs. The
walkout started early Monday
morning, shortly after the
workers reported as usual. for
their jobs.
Bargainers for Local 879 of the
International Brotherhood .of
Teamsters, which represents the
125, technical workers, and.
company negotiators have ef-
fectively put a news blackout on
the continuing negotiations. In
fact, the company's head office in
Toronto has refused . any in-
formation and denies any
knowledge of a strike.
However, there have been
rumors that the union is demand-
ing an increase of $1.50 an
hour above the present $3.40 paid
at the top end of wage scale at the
door factory. The company is
rumored to have offered a $1
increase. Because of the blackout
and tirade of no cornmentse from
negotiators . it is hard to verify
such rumors. Strikers have
however, intimated that they
don't expect an early settlement`
For the time being the technical
workers are in good spirits.
On Monday morning about 30
strikers milled around' the en-
trances to the factory and at least
one truck driver was asked not to
enter the compnay's , premises.
The driver complied with the
strikers' demands. So far the
strike has been peaceful and no
disruptions have occurred.
