Kempling's theme "The Lord is risen indeed". The Devotional was losed witb prayer. President Ella Bowman called on James Avery wbo very capably played "The Entertainer" on the Piano. In her introduction of our guest speaker, Dr. C. Vipond, Barbara Howe gave a brief resume of is background. Dr. Vipond bas practiced in Oshawa since 1948, spent two years in Malaya and made three trips to Africa in varions posts of service. He is present- ly the Medical Director of Rehabilitation Medicine at Oshawa General Hospital. Dr. Vipond began bis talk by explaining the purpose of the Rehabilitation Centre in the hospital, which is to restore to function tbose patients need- ing tberapy. This could be after surgery, accidents, strokes, heart attacks and others with chronie back pain or paraplegie patients. We then enjoyed Dr. Vipond's slides of Africa, the area in and around Nairobi especîally. We gained a picture of the countryside, the buildings, both old and new and met some of the people including co-workers of Dr. Vipond. We saw living conditions, medîcal problems and how members of CUSO help in tbis area. Dr. Vipond gave us a very real'picture of these people with littie stories and bis excellent photographie skills. Norma Kempling offered our appreciation to Dr. Vipond and presented a cheque to be used in bis work. The evening ended with questions and a social period with our visitors. t was a pleasure to welcome former members froni Bow- manville including Mr. and Mrs. H. Ashton, Mrs. J. Siemon, Mrs. H. Milîson and Miss Elva Orchard. The custodian strike at Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education schools is entering its seventh week. NatuÏally the custodians are feeling the pincb financially, and unfor- tunateiy the students are caught in the middle with final exams just a short time away. Tomn between honouring picket lines and custodians who keep their schools dlean, and on the other side the school board and principals asking tbem to do voiuntary cleanup, must be quite confus- ing to them, and only because the schooi board refuses to grant the custodians a fair and reasonable settiement. As of April 2th, 1979, Mr. A. M. Thompson, Chairmanî- of the school board, bas offered and we quote, "a 37c per hour increase .. . and a furtber loc per hour increase effective May 29, 1979 witb ail benefits remaining uncbanged"~. Sure- iy Mr. Thompson must realize contracts are negotiated in good faith to improve wages and benefits, not leaving them uncbanged. Sick leave bene- fits and vacation entitiements, negotiated in a previous contract, were also being attacked by tbe board. With the cost of living spiralling as it is now, how can the scbool board degrade tbe custodians with sucb a cold and calions offer? The custo- dian is an important member of our scbool systeni giving our children a dlean healtby scbool environment, which every parent and taxpayer bas tbe right to expect. Just recently the Durham custodians settled their con- tract witbout a strike. They are now almost $2.00 per heur ahead of our custodians and much furtber advanced wlth ..h.r...... fringe benefits. Our custo- dians do not expect the same wages andbenefits. However tbey live in the same locale, pay the going price for food, fuel, taxes, etc., and need more than the 47e per hour witb benefits uncbanged as Mr. Tbompson, the scbooi board chairman, bas offered them. We urge the trustees and scbool board to bargain in good faitb with the union, realizing the custodians deserve a reasonabie and honourable settiement. Witb this last scbooi board offer it appears they are stalling for time, possibly long enough to empty the schools f or summer and leave the custodians on- the picket uines until Septemb- er or even longer, a possible yet nasty situation. Students bave been asked to volunteer for sweeping, etc., according hi Courtice School management, and the students tbemselves, with the condition that if they did, they could have after-school activities. If they did not, scab labor wlll be brought i and after-school activities dropped. This act, i fact, designates the students as scab labour when they volunteer to do custodian work. This is definitely not why our students attend school and we are shocked to hear this is so. The custodian is a very important gear i the school machie. If scab labour had net been employed to clear the still dirty schoois, tbey would certainly be ciosed now by the Board of Health (if tbey were conscientous; and tbe students would be the losers. As a taxpayer, ponder the followig:- Mr. Thom is retir- ing soon. Consider what salary that h and those next to schools for our students. hlm, wiil draw when retre, we are not asklg the sehool and what salary the custoian board to give ini to every union has been offered b y the board demland. for an active 40-hour week. We ask them to stop their Put yourself on the picket line delaymng tacts, get to the knowing scab labour is being bargaîing table and produce hired hi take the bread and a fair and just settiement wîth butter from you and your our custodians. As taxpayers, family., that is what we are paying We want our custodians them to do. back to work and clean Concerned Parents.
