"I understand that the land
mentioned in subsection D,
ri"amely, Ihdiatrihland, has -quite a
history in whichlieth the Town and
the Authority are involved. In
light of this, I shall, not.dwell -on
development possibilities there,
but say only that if Private
,.Enterprise does not fulfill. its
, role, the Conservation Authority
Might be able to do so.
"Due to present boundary
restrictions,. theseare the only

This question of ' Authority
enlargement to. encompass •the
entire Town has arisen before I
realize, but the benefits which
might be realized in connection
with this particular project could
make such a move quite
worthwhile.

According to reports coming
out of a Godel•ich Labor Council
meeting last week production may•
be, resuming at the Goderich
branch plant of the Sheaffer Pen
Company despite a strike by
members of Local 2135 of the
• International Union of Machinists
and Aerospace Workers that has
been in progress. since .,late
November.
It, was reported to the meeting
that non: union workers had begun
rossin: eicket • lines. Sheaffer
Pen 'Company, manager : x
Gardiner was contacted on
Wednesday morning by the Signal
Star news desk and asked to
comment on the reports -but flatly
refused to confirm or deny
anything regarding non-union
.workers at'the plant. "I am very
busy just now," Mr. Gardiner
noted, "And I would,not like to say
anything about such reports."
All but two of 'the workers
employed at the plant walked .Off
their jobs when local 2135 voted in,
favour of strike action and have
been out of work for the past two
months. Immediately after, that
move by the union management at
theplant announced its intentions
to continue.operatipn and said that
it wouldte accepting applications
for employment. Eew reports of
non-union workers reporting for
work or crossing the picket lines
were heard until last week.
An advertisement appeared in
last week's edition of the Clinton
News Record noting that
"Applications for light assembly ,
work were being accepted at the
office of the personnel manager at
Sheaffer Pen Co." Reliable
°sources report that few workers
turned up seeking employrnent
and even fewer acceptedjobs but
officials at the plant refused to
con irm' ttie" erts-as
well,
The strike is now more than 60
days old and no 'further attempt
was made this week to advertise
for Workers on the .part of, the
companyin either the Signal Star •
or the Clinton News Record.
• No • further • developments
toward a settlement between the
union and the company ' were
reported by press time
Wednesday and labor obserVers
feel the strike may soon be over
as far as the Sheaffe-r • Pen -
Company is . concerned, They
report unconfirmed rumors that ..
officials from Sheaffer head'
office in• Fort Madison Iowa., are
expiscted in Goderich late . this
week.
