The hills are vistage beauty untold; Warm shades of burgundy, red, green and gold. Leaves of all colours come scurrying by, Racing the clouds that scamper on high. The white of a church spire, meadows of brown, Hills misty purple, with clouds for a crown; God shows us beauty in so many ways, Each golden moment of bright autumn days.

A little tinge of fear creeps down the backbones of a few who can look back to 1955 when GM was out for four months. Those people know the harrowing effects of a long strike and are hoping this won't be that long. Following are a few comm- ents from those interviewed by the Star: Mrs. Colleen Maschke of Seagrave who's husband Charles works in 63 depart- ment: "It's going to make it pretty tough, $40 doesn't go far to feed a family of 11. "We just got through the summer layoff and now this. A week or two tad say yes, but after that -- " Mr. and Mrs. Maschke went through the strike in '55 but that time they had only three babies to look after. Now they have nine children from aged 1 yeats to 17. She works at Flamingo Pastries and with her income they are going tagry and man- age. Leo Taylor of 170 Lila St. { works in 61 Department.

Ist, 1970 - 43 Strike Begins To Drain Pocketbooks, "We knew that if there ed his family so far although} was a strike it would be long," his wife has had to go back to nursing to help bring in some money. I'm sitting home baby- sitting, while she works," he said. Leo is experienced at car- pentry work and plans to take part time work if the strike goes on past four weeks. He said many of his fellow workers are taking part time jobs in town on the sewer construction to help them- selves financially. Ralph Nottingham of 45) Bigelow St. says he's begin- ning to feel "the pinch" but he's no family yet so he and his wife are managing to get by. Ralph, who works in 4 department in the Truck Plant, is concerned about his fellow workers, "those guys with families to look after must be finding it rough." He said he's beginning to get bored now and would take part time work if it was offered to him. Gayle Stapley of Prince Albert says her husband Bob, who has worked at GM for 7 years, has time to do things around the house but they don't dare spend money to buy materials. Besides, she says, both he and a neighbor, who also works at GM just don't seem to have the desire (with all that uncertainty) to do any- thing. Ben Pickard of 51 Caleb St. says the strike is hurting only in one way -- "Wages". He said that those who have worked at GM for a few years learn to put money aside for the strike. Up to now the Pickards have been going along as usual except they have cut out the frills. Ben has been keeping him- self busy doing odd jobs a- round the house Anne Van Weston of Scu- gog Island says her husband Nick has kept himself busy since the strike began by working around the house and doing odd jobs elsewhere. "We saw the strike com- ing and we put some money aside for it," says Anne Bonnie Ballingall says her husband Jim worked all his holidays this summer to put away enough money in case of the strike it's the Lord Simcoe a friendly wel- come superb service fine lounges and restau rants allat sensible prices and for conve the subway at the door heart of downtown Toronto.

Bonnie says she isn't worr- ying about the strike, "be cause there's no sense in worrying." If the strike is too long she says her hus- band will probably have to quit and get some other job Ross Sweetman of Prince Albert, who is an inspector in the South Plant and owner of the Carload Foodmarket, said he's had to tighten up his belt. Since he's been out of work he's been spending time work- ing at the store. Because of this and the fact sales have dropped because people are buying less, Mr. Sweetman has had to lay off two of his workers. He's also tightened up on his personal expenses by cut- ting out, until the strike is over, taking the family out for dinner and buying that extra case of beer. $2.00 per Bushel and up Bring your o wn container LLOYD G.
