W. Gossard Company to stop picketing at their Port Perry plant was handed down and was published in the Osgoode Hall official adver- tisement in the Globe and It Has Come To Our Notice That A Statement In The Oshawa Times Of Friday 17/11/67 And Attributed To Us Reads UNION PLANS TO CLOSE PLANT We Emphatically Deny Hav- ing Made Such A Statement. Or Will We. JW.K. Mail of Wednesday 15th of November. The Company had asked that all picketing be stopped or limited to but one picket. The result. THE GOSSARD REQUEST FOR AN INJUNCTION TO STOP PICKETING WAS DE- NED, NO RESTRICTION WAS PLACED ON THE NUMBER OF PICKETS. Friends once again an off- icial of the Gossard Company has caused a statement to be published in the "Oshawa Times", that is so far remov- ed from the truth that one wonders why an old estab- lished Company like Goss- ards, would seek to mislead the Public in such a manner. The statement referred to appeared in the "Oshawa Times" issue of Wednesday the 15th of November 1967. It reads, NEWS HIGHLIGHTS INJUNCTION GRANTED TO PORT PERRY FIRM PORT PERRY (Staff) -- The Supreme Court of Ontar- io, yesterday supported an application for an injunction by H. W. Gossard Company, Port Perry, to restrict pick- eting of their textile factory. John McCormack, company secretary-treasurer, said the. injunction has not yet been posted and about five men are picketing the plant today. He said the injunction did not limit the number of people from picketing but re: quired that the picketing must be peaceful. The in- junction named 14 people who would not be allowed to picket the plant. "The only reason we can offer for the Company mak- ing such a statement knowing full well it was not true, knowing full well that a true statement would be published was to once again seek to cloud the issue, after all it is very likely that having read the Company's state: ment some members of the public would believe it to be true; then on reading the true statement the public would not know what to be- lieve. It is not an entirely new approach. Tell an out- standish story about a neigh- bour no matter how ridiéu- AN it has been proven to be un- true, the damage has been done, and an innocent per- son's reputation has suffered. The Company has based its arguments for abolishing the picket line in Port Perry on stories of misdeeds by the picketers throwing coffee and tomatoes. Yet the learned Judge in his wisdom decreed that the picketing should continue and that he would place no numerical restrict- ions on these picketers." We regret that once again we should have cause to write in this vein, we had written to the Editor of the Port Perry Star, in answer to his Editorial of agreeing that the time had come when a real effort by both parties in this labour dispute be made to settle the strike for the good of all concerned, the Company, the Town, and especially the workers. We once again reiterate that statement that the Un- ion_as always is ready to ne- gotiate a fair and honest settlement. Furthermore, we are willing to accept the Ed- itor of this newspaper or anyone he should name to either mediate or arbitrate to this end. With the seasons first snowfall, together with the erection of coloured lights along Queen Street, Port Perry has already taken on that unmistakeable look of the Christmas season. That wonderful time of Christmas that is like no other time of year will soon be with us again. Christmas as is spec- ial for many reasons apart from its very special relig- ious significance, apart from the coloured lights, the fancy packages tied up with ribb- ons. The Christmas tree, the holly, and the mistletoe. It is that one time of the year when - friends and families will travel countless miles to be together because it is Christmas. It is a holiday season that is celebrated by more people of more faiths than any other. It is a holi- day that belongs to almost all the peoples of the world. With it comes warmth and understanding, forgiveness, compassion, love, gladness and hope. | CAL these things unas a 5 AN : Oe WW XX I are associated with the wond- erful time that is Christmas. Christmas this year to many in this old township will be a little different this year. Things have changed. The workers of the "Goss: ard Plant" have been on strike since the 11th of Oct- ober 1967. They went on strike not because they want- ed to, not because their Un- ion wanted to, the Union had a record of not striking for a long time, 35 years in fact. They went on strike because the Company would. not give them a Union Contract which would improve their wages and conditions. We will not repeat 'at this time what has been said already of the cir- cumstances or the, happen: ings in this dispute" We feel the citizens of this commun- ity are well acquainted with all that has transpired. Many citizens have demonstrated their sympathy towards the strikers and their cause al- ready. We appreciate their good wishes and thank them. We thank the Editor of this Newspaper too for hon- est reporting. We feel that the next move is up to the Company. Respectfully yours, J. W. Kitts, Director of Organizing, ILL.G.W.U.

A motion was passed that Council go into Court of Ap- peal, to hear appeals against the Tax Roll, some five claims on hand.

They say old soldiers nev- er die -- they just fade away. Well Roy Scott didn't show much sign of fading away on Friday evening when he gave a splendid account of his Vimy trip to a crowd who almost filled the church base- ment. Other program includ- ed a song, 'Canada our Land' by the public schoolers; "In| Flanders Fields" spoken as a duet by Diane Barr and Joyce Bruce, a couple of readings by Mrs. Barr and Mrs. Crosier, a couple of con- tests for the adults and some relays for the youngsters. Then chairman Morley Bruce called a mystified Roy and Gladys Scott to the front where they were presented with a pair of lamps for their new home and a person- al gift for each." Their sur- prise was so complete that it was amusing and Roy i still trying to figure. it al out. The ladies of Unit 2 served a light lunch and so finished an enjoyable even- ing. An 1.O.O.F. rally attracted Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Wana- week-end. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Moon and small daughter from Toronto were at home with Mr. and Mrs. A. Moon on Saturday.

Mr. Harry Kiezebrink of Port Perry, whose application for a Building Permit is ap- proved, but withheld because an access Fee_of $60.00 has not been paid, was present asking when an access cul vert could be installed and objecting to paying in ad- vance for same. The Roads Superintendent stated that it would be installed this fall. The subject New Post Of- fice for Blackstock came up and while said subject is considered by some as confi- dential, almost every one who can read the papers knows that one is planned for Blackstock. A Resolu- tion asking the powers that be to consider the size and location of said planned con struction before settling on something inadequate for long term planning was worded and reworded to pro- vide the proper & desired in- tent.
