ORONO WEEKLY TMES, THtUflDAY, JANUARY 25th, 1968 ORONO WEEKILY TIMIES (Autlironed as Second C!2-ss mail, Post Office Defpartnent, * O"bawa) Pubdished every husdyat IUïic ofýifce ofpublicatier M1ýain Street, Phonie 105, Orono, ùntcario EIsablished in 1938 by EL A- Forrester Roy C. Forrester -- Edtr and Manager Bigness With Us During the remainder of this year much wil 1e written and said concerning the amalgamatio n of school boards into a single county unit. There will be pros and cons offered with both sides offeritig degrees of valid reasoning.ý Mr. Alex Carruthers, MPP for Durham, advances mnany pros and cons over the amalgamation in lis report this week from Queen's Park. Locally the're is objection being voiced, that North- umnberland and Durham is too large a unit for the school area and would become unwieldy. Many are advancing the idea that Durham be set up as a single unit. As, largeness is with us now, w are goingÂto have te face this element of governing. The Northumberland-Durham' unit operates as a Couinty unit and we hear littie objection to this., Hlowçver we do believe that there is mi-rit in a split between Durhamn and Northumberland with Durham pos- sibly joining with Ontario County. Tt is with Ontario County that our ties are the strongest, economically and, socially. Also a recent report groups a good section of Durham with Ontario as a reg- ional area. Already Bowmaniville and Darlington are in- volved in planning w/ith a section of Ontario: County and it would seem reasoniable that sucli an area be maintained as a unit for ail phases of government.- We understand that to gain a split froma Northum- berland, sound reeoning will have to be advanced and bigness will not be one of these reasons. Frustration and Anxiety Monnts Over Contract -The picketing of the United Autoworkers Hall by membéers of the United Autoworkers in Oshawa last week was a symptom of a sorry situation having very littie to do with the freedom of the press. The token picket was organized to protest the decis- ion of the ujnion executive board to drop a particular feat- ure fromi its wveekçly union publication, the Oshaworker. The action served effectively todraw public attention to whiat is p)rinmarily a matter te bie settled, by dues-paying mnembers and their representatives through the machinery cjf their union. Those chosen to publish the Oshaworker are given the respensibility of deciding what will be printed and whiat will not. Mlore significant is the evidence the episode under- lines of frustration on the part of workers with the seem- ingly intermiinable length of negotiotions for a new con- tract. The period is always, a time of great tenseness and uncertaint'y. The men conducting the contract talks have in their handis the future of thousands and thousands of werkers. Tt is quite understandable that these workers we,,uld Je anxious for a settiement., And when agreement is not reached, their anxiety is bound to mushroom when they feel they are net being kept fully informed by those who represent them at the bargaining table. As the officiai ergan of the United Autoworkers, The O-shaworker mnust see as its prime function the necessity, of keeping the membership up to date on the intricacies cf negotiatons. This is not a question of freedom, of the. press but surely the union publications's reason for being. Wt is not a matter of one featuré but surely the overaîl purpose. Meanwhile, on a daily ba sis, the staff of The Oshawa Times check regularly with botli union and company spokesmüen ian endeavor to present' aIl information made, available on the vital issues as quickly as possible. The big task, however, is to rid the cemmunity of anxiety and uncertaintyý by the reaching of agreement on a new contract. And this is a task that can only be accom- p-lisli by the negotiators on both sides of the tahle. -The Oshawa Times LetterTo Editor January 22nd, 1968 Letter to the Editor" Following hard upen the high- ly regrettable news that Oreno -May bie deprived cf its kinder- garten, unless the "powers that be" reflect and reconsider sudh a. retrogressive action, eûmes the addîitioinal biow that public skat- inig is to cease on Monday even- îngs, due te lack cf interest.
