and the company has agreed to

--guaranteed to September 1,
1976: -
Anson McKinley, reeve of
-,.Stanley Township, told council
• he hoped the deal with Moffat
Lake Explorations goes
through.
"We had hoped to have it
4 ^ completed ' by this fall. but
probably ,it will, be. next:, year
- now", he said. '
The -price of fuel, oil" for
:Huronview is now .33.9 cents
per gallon, an increase of,16.47
cents or a whopping, 94 percent
since October 1973.
Mr. McKinley also advised
coi.,,ncil that the Huronview'
committee lies become concern•
ned, with the number ,of,•young'
ad'ditmretardees admitted to the
home in recent months. fie said
there are• a great -many, other
young adult' retardees
throughout the county who will
no doubt require care in years
'to come, .
"Our concern is increased
since,. we' are operating at or
near capacity and our waiting
, list, of senior citizens continues
to grow", said Reeve
McKinley:
Chester Archibald, , ad-
ministrator ' at Hurpnview,
agreed the. - Home is •near

residents• presently -.`live • at
Huronview „With: five more in

ned a protective service worker
is to be located' in Huron by
April of 1975.
The Ministry feels that men-
tally retarded, adults can hest
be cared for in foster homes in
- their own communities 'rather
than being" institutionalized.
"The problem comes in
trying to find homes in the
communities to take this type
of patient and 'care for them",
said Mr. McKinley. •
"The committee can foresee
the day when this could•be a
'major. problem", • Reeve
McKinley stated. '"If.. -Huron -

Teachersw�nt contract
trike looms at Conestoga College
Teachers 'at community
college's across Ontario, in-
cluding ,the Clinton`' Center of
Conestoga College of 'Applied
Arts and Technology, are
,prepared to Make drastic
measures, even go on strike, to
back up their demands for a
contract with the .provincial ,
government,
Ivan. Mohammed, president
of the Conestoga branch of the
Civil Servants Association of
'Ontario, iCSAOI, representing'
the teachers, said .during,•inter-
-view last week that the
teachers would strike,y'h ch'is
forbidden by, 'provincial : law
governing civil servants.
H•e is a- member, of the
teachers'° eight-man,negotiating
team which began meetings
Tuesday. in ""1''oron•t•o- in
preparation • for negotiations
'with the government, .11 the
government refuses . to
negotiate, then teachers will
' prepare to strike, he said.
He outlined teacher''deniands
which ' include:
A 5 per cent . wage' increase
,,,over . two years;
Flexible costs :of living' con-
siderations;
Reasonable assurances
for
teachers of job • security,' .
Salary parady , for libraria'ns
with teachers;
Two months vacations for
councillors. ;
• The teachers have worked
without 'a contract since Sep'
t, :b 10973. '
Mr. ' Mohammed said the
.general: mood among teachers
in '''community colleges, in-.
cluding Conestoga's Waterloo -
Center where he teaches; 'is one
of hope that a •settlement will
be reached.
He stressed, howeverb that
teachers are will'ing•,,to, strike.
Jean Palston�, who relays
CSAO news from Mr. Moham-
med ,to teachers at the Clinton
Center, echoed his feelings
about the mood of the teachers.
She said instructors there
want to settle with the govern-
ment but they, are' willing .to
stop teaching.
Teacher's 'realize their
pesponsibilities to "students but
the rising cost of'living makes
the government offer • un-
sati`sfactoi, she said. • °
'The government's latest offer
was made June 18, It consisted
of a - seven per cent raise,
retroactive to September ,..1,
1913; a nine per cent increase
effective §eptember 1, 174; an
increase from $4t0 • to $500 in
the annual merit-increhient for
1974-,75; and a 1hOp_ atm
Payment ,of $275,x; ^;.
Over`,* two-year confract this
would give teachers a 19.7,4 er
cent increase in pay, according
to press release 'from the On-
tario,Council of Regents, which
govrris the affairs of come'
muriity colleges. '°
Contract talks.betwee coun,,,
cil representatives and teachers
have. had -no, long, troubled
history, Mr. Mohammed said,,
They began °in May, 1973. Af-
ter talks got nowhere, the two
parties went to a-, prov•ncial",;A
mediator. - the gnvernm:e°nt
stood firm on its offer which
teac}iers rejected.
Next they went hc.for e° an a;r-
bitration board. There r, •were
two government appointees and
one teacher on the board.
"Wet, got . rooked'," Mr:
Mohamsaid:
• Teach disagreed with
having a board weighted to the
government's side. As a result
they' picketted the arbitration
"' board hearing, demanding that
,each side appoint a member of
the board. Inturn, these mem-
bers 'would "decide on a chair-
man.
The government balked 'bu,t
teachers voted t'o avoid' ar,
bitration. The government
relented and the two'sides went
into six days and nights or
negotiations which proved.
fruitless when government
walked out atter teachers said
lump sum payments weren't
necessary if they.cauld be given
assurances` of continuing ern,
ployment. -
One issue won by teachers,
was the withholding by govern-
ment of union dues- paid by

nursing instructors. Govern-
ment said that the dues would
be given to the union onlyafter
a settlement had been reached.
Teachers took legal action
against what ` Mr, Mohammed
described as common theft.
Threatened with being taken
to court, the government g ve
the money back to the teachers'
union- with accumulated in-
terest.
Mr. Mohammed._ said that
Conestoga College has
budgeted a 34, per cent. total in-
crease for teachers with a $

119,000 surplus. This is for a 10
per cent •. raise, ' 10, percent
