said Mr Short who added that the is a bone of contention for workers at the plant P G Bell offered a retirement plan in their contract proposal The best indication that we got from the union is that they want a pension plan said Mr He said the companys present offer would not help workers about to retire Building up a nest egg is quite dependent on the amount of time He said someone who is now 60 years old would not benefit much from the pension plan put on the table last week by G Bell Striking IAM workers also want a vision care program and expand dental care But Mr Gri said that benefits were upgraded in the com panys last offer He said the company will not table another offer until the union responded to the current one The sent G Bell a letter rejecting the companys offer said Mr

burning and have a trailer for supplies out on the site P G Bell has been in Georgetown for 30 years without a strike The company is known for its construe tion of steel panelling at the Eatons Centre Toronto 12 years ago and for its help in constructing a covered skating rink for last years Olympic Games in Calgary Waste site closed Continued from Page The major concern of Halton Regional councillors was the short notice they received from the MOB regarding violation of the ministry statute They also said the MOE was vague in its description of the depots problems Halton Chairman Peter said he couldnt make heads nor tails of the ministry report The decision to suggest the Region close thj Milton depot all centres around the lack of courtesy of at least one officer in the Ministry of the Environment said Mr Regional councillors HaKons role in waste disposal and said they werent being ap preciated by the ministry Some who had beard of the closure for the first tune at Wednesdays general committee meeting of Regional councillors expressed anger toward the Ministry of the Environment Perhaps we could find Mr Par- Your Choice sons address and deliver the stuff hazardous waste to his house said Burlington Rob Forbes Burlington Coun Pat McLaughlin said it would be a shame if the Milton depot re mained closed The ministry order came out of the blue he said Were the pioneers in this thing as far as recycling goes and were getting penalized He added that disposing of hazardous waste is not mandated by the ministry Halton Region will discuss the necessary changes to the Milton depot at a future meeting For now the Milton hazardous waste depot will remain closed Get rid of those cars If a proposed bylaw is passed Hills farmers and lan downers will have to dispose of old trucks cars and tractors sitting on their property Town bylaw enforcement officer Bob presented a propos ed bylaw to the town general committee Monday night that would prohibit derelict vehicles from sitting on private property for extended periods Acton Councillor Al Cook said the bylaw would prohibit the desertion of a vehicle just left to sit there and roiXor 15 years But not all councillors say the bylaw proposal is a positive step said the bylaw would be a doubleedged sword It would disallow farmers from us ing scrap tractors for parts for their operable equipment Coming from a farming com munity I have trouble with your bylaw he said to Mr Its almost impossible to point out a bylaw for both a rural and an urban area Waste could be interpreted as me disposing of my farm residue I could construe the bylaw in this fashion he said But Mr Ustrzyckl assured him that was not the case He said the proposed bylaw would be more expeditious than the bylaw created in which he called dif ficult to enforce The new bylaw said Mr in his report to coun cillors would allow for fines and outofcourt settlements for of fenders Coun Marilyn said the bylaw would mean people will take more pnde in their proper ty But Coun Joe Hewitt said there should be exemptions for greenhouses and exemptions for farms if there is a bona fide farmer The bylaw proposal will go for ward to town council which will have the option of approving re jecting or amending the proposal FLETCHERS FAMILY SHOES FOR MOM TRULY A FOR DAD FAMILY FOR THE KIDS SHOE STORE QUALITY BRAND NAME SHOES AT SENSIBLE PRICES SANDALS
