L c& wmars part of study Mavis Dalton, of Seaforth, has spent twenty days in Tobermory taking part in the first controlled study in Canada of whether hyperbaric oxygen is of benefit to people who have multiple sclerosis. Almost half of the 120 volunteers have been treated with either pure oxygen under pressure (the active treatment group) or the equivalent of normal air under pressure (the control group). Since this is a double blind study, neither the volunteers nor the researchers know which people received which treatment until the code is broken later in the year. 2-8" x 10" MOUNTED COLOUR ENLARGEMENTS from -your favorite colour negative or colour slide WITH THIS COUPON i Our Regular Price $6.79 Each 2 FOR Y $6.79 u ONL Coupon must accompany order LOOK FOR QUALITY - LOOK FOR THIS SIGN Keating's Pharmacy 1 67 Maln St. Seaforth 527-1990 PRICED FOR QUICK SALE Model 200 Yamaha [1984] Call Ken or Doug ROWCLIFFE MOTORS 14 Goderlch St., Seaforth 527-1670 GRADUATES OF Seaforth District High School were honored at commencement exercises Friday night.

(Wassink photo) Sandra Hulley, ratify agreement The teachers and the Perth County Board of Education made concessions in order to ratify the 1984-85 collective agreement. The two sides announced ratification of the agreement after mediation. The chairman of the board's negotiating committee, Barbara Herman of Milverton, said "very intense," negotiations with the teachers were held on Sept. 21. A mediator attended. Ron Marion of St. Marys, hired as a negotiator by the teachers, said the day of negotiations were demanding, but not as intense for the teachers as for the board members. Mr. Marion said the teachers have been voted 90 per cent in favor of agreement presented by its negotiating team. Elementary teachers who are members of the branch affiliates of the Federation of Women Teachers' Association of Ontario and the Ontario Public School Teachers' Federa- tion first voted in favor of a 1984-85 collective agreement on June 26. 'The' board turned down that agreement on"Alig. 21. The chairman of the board's negotiating committee said the main stumbling block over the previous agreement was in the approach to salaries. Mrs. Herman said originally the teachers wanted their salaries determined by a formula based on the settlements of 60 collective agreements across the province. She said it could take until Feb. of the following year before all these agreements were reached. "In this particular year we wanted to determine our own rate," said Mrs. Herman. She said the trustees wantedto have local control over salary negotiations and not have it based on salaries from across the province. The board approved the total 1984-85 elementary teacher cost of $14 million, an increase of 7.54 per cent from last year, in a recorded 8 to 6 vote. There are 371 teachers affected by the agreement. In the salary grid there was a 4.25 per cent increase or $519,543. The amount teachers receive for their experience, (the increment cost), increased by $266,127. Together these two cost increases represent a 6.06 per cent increase. Other cost increases which bring the entire package to a 7.54 per cent are the grid restoration and a projected cost pt qualifica- tions improvement. Mrs. Herman said the grid restoration cost of $61,985 or 48 per cent, affects 47 teachers who, because of provincial legislation, could not have their salary of 35,000 or more increased last year. In effect, she said this represents a deferred cost to the board. Qualifications improvement costs are es- timated at 5130,000 or one per cent of the percentage increase. Mrs. Herman said there was a lot of debate over this issue which represents the increased cost the board pays to teachers once they have upgraded their qualifications. Mr. Marion said the teachers agreed to discontinue a special allowance for French and some special education teachers. This represents a cost saving of $7,600 to the board. The teachers also successfully negotiated an, extension of the board's subsidized maternity benefits to 17 weeks. Mr. Marion said the board pays 80 per cent and the teachers pay the remaining 20 per cent. Director of education, Paul Sherratt said most teachers take more than 17 weeks for maternity leave. The average teachers' salary for Perth elementary teachers is $32,771 compared to $31,435 last year. The maximum salary, with. 12 years experience and the most qualifica- tions, is $43,581. The maximum salary after 12 years with less qualifications is $35,913. Mrs. Herman said the two sides also agreed to the establishment of a committee that will study the uneven distribution of open time for the elementary teachers. She said this is the time where the classroom teacher's time is open because the music or French teacher is in the classroom. The trustees voting in favor of the agreement were board chairman Howard Shantz, Paul Parlee of Stratford, Twyla Reed of Ellice Township, Rod Bell of Shakespeare, Ron Richards of Stratford, Dave Crowley of Gadshill, Mrs, Herman and Barbara Osborne of St. Marys. Voting against were David Hammond of RR 7, St. Marys, Bert Johnson of Listowel, Dereck Ward of Wallace Township, Earl .Oppenhauser of Logan Township, Ted Loughrey of Mitchell and Peter Black of Blanshard Township. Trustees Gerald Foster of Elma Township and Canon Michael Griffin of Stratford could pot vote on the agreement because they have immediate family members who are Perth elementary teachers. 7R4T7, v i iE'ra ,y AEI SMALi 4 1M SEAFORTH, ONTARIO NOK 1WO TELEPHONE 527-0910 infektwood SAVE!!
