He said he expects the gate receipts to be down some $100 to $200. It was pointed out that over the week-end there were some twenty-four fairs in operation and this had some effect on the local fair in the matter of the horse show and especially with the heavy horse division where exhibits were down over last year. It was also pointed ot that many exhibi- tors had sold their heavy horses in this area. Although beef cattle were also down in numbers this was not the case in the Holstein division wbicb annually bas always presented a good showng at the local fair. The poultry and rabbit shows were again a highlight of the fair and kept apace with former years. There was also an improve- ment in the inside exhibits especially in commercial dis- plays and the needlecraft sec- tion where many fine exhibits were on display., Attendance at trie nàrness races on Friday evening was very good and competi- tion in the races was excellent. There was some disappoint- ment over the fact that wagering privileges were not available. Entertainment dur- ing the races was provided by Earle Brown and his group from Oshawa. Satruday featured the horse show as well as the other features of the fair including the midway and the numerous displays both inside and outside. Itis reported that the dance on Saturday evening was a success with a net profit of $200. The circus variety night had to be cancelled due to the fact that the éompany were unable to mustered enough of their acts for the event. The whole area of the new Northumberland County (Northumberland minus South Monaghan plus Port Hope and Hope Township) may, be designated as a planning area by the province. At the first meeting of the political task force last Thurs- day, a request was moved to ask the Minister of Treasury, Economics and Inter-govern- mental Affairs to give favour- able consideration to design- ating the area as a planning area. Donald Irvine, parliament- ary assistant to the minister, explained that by making the new Northumberland a plann- ing area, the thinking of the whole area can be co-ordinat- ed. "We can then have parts of Secondary the whole thinking about how the whole area will develop," Mr. Irvine stated. He explained that an official plan will be prepared for the development of the area as a county. After the offical plan is agreed upon, then restricted area zoning bylaws will be prepared, Mr. Irvine stated. However, he assured the mayors and reeves present that individual municipal zon- ing bylaws would be taken into consideration in the overall plan and zoning bylaws. "We are not out to change the thinking of each muni- cipality, only to co-ordinate the thinking of all the muni- cipalities in the directioh of how they want the new county to develop." Previous requests that Mur- ray and Brighton Townships be moved from the Quinte planning area into the new Northumberland planning area will be considered, Mr. Irvine stated. He added that the town of Trenton would remain in Hastings county, but that some considerafion would be given to the inclusion of Trenton in the new county, when it is re-organised Janu- ary 1, 1975. Now inoperative, the Dia- mond Triangle committee which was to study Port Hope, Cobourg, Hope and Hamilton, called for the designation of. this area as a planning area as early as 1969. The horizons have been expanded, but the designation of the area as a co-ordinated planning area is what the Diamond Triangle committee had been striving for years to attain. teachers file for conciliation Northumberland and Dur- ham secondary schools, which have once escaped the threat of "work to rule" by the teachers may yet be hit by a withdrawal of services. James Breckenridge, s.ecre- tary of the negotiating team for the teachers, today said he would not rule out a withdraw- al of extra-curricular.services as teachers try to get a new salary schedule from the board of education.' Scbool opened this week with a threat to work to rule, which means that teachers withdraw their voluntary ser- vices after school hours, 'but as part of a province wide move by secondary school teachers who are protesting school spending ceilings im- posed by Education Minister Thomas Wells. That threat was not carried out in the United Counties however, and today it appears to be in effect only in the boroughs of Etobicoke, North York and Scarborough. In a move to get a contract settlement, Northumberland and Durham teachers have asked the services of a conciliation officer, the ne- gotiating team reported today Thev reported that in il meetings, held between Feb- ruary and June this year, the board has offered an average increase of $750 plus an unspecified increase in mile- age. But, say the- teachers, $400 of that increase comes in the annual increment pattern worked out in last year's contract. They claim that the $750 thus represents a real in- crease of only $350. Borrowing a phrase from UAW's Leonard Woodcock, "this is a mockery," said Mr. Breckenridge. The teachers have asked for a 13 percent increase, which includes the increment work- ed out in last year's schedule. Such a hike, they maintain is necessary for themto catch up to the salaries being paid by neighbouring boards of education. This increase, say the tea- chers amounts to an average of $1,500 based on an 18 to 1 pupil-teacher ration, a ration, the teachers claim, which has been arrived at by the board phasing out 20 teachers. Now, teachers claim, class- rooms are overcrowded, teaching conditions are deter- iorating and teaching morale is quickly declining. Because of the ration, they claim many teachers are now facing more than 200 students a day. Teachers have asked the board to shave the ratio to 17.5 to 1 and have offered to subsidize the additional teachers 1b>yvscaling (down their, demands for- anincease to an average of $1,250, says Mr. Breckenridge. But there are other areas of dispute besides salaries. The board has refused to negotiate all non-monetary items, claiming that they belong in the sphere of management. The teachers want to negot- iate such items as conditions of work, which includes class size. They are also asking for a non-discrimination clause and for neutral third party arbit- ration in disputes, both claus- es contained in the board's Canadian Union of Public Employees agreement with its caretaking staff. Because of these gaps in negotiations, Mr. Wells is being asked to name a conciliation officer and teach- ers are considering working to rule to enforce an agreement.
