Editer THE WORK LOAD ISSUE Claire Hoy in the Sunday Sun calis the community college teachers "workload issue" in the recent strike "a bad joke" and if his information is correct, and we would cxpect it is, we would have to agree. The teachers have been fighting on the basis they are over- worked and as welI working in a comrnunity college educa- tional systemn where quality is being erocd. As for the workload, Hoy says, -you should be so lucky to have the heurs and the benefits enjoyed by the college teachers". As to the quality of education in the system, the major factor here lies with the teachers themselves. The workload according to a joint union-management com- mittec survey amnounts to 18.9 hours in the classroorn on a wcekly average. Teacher preparation 'and student evaluation brings the total average work week to 37.89 hours., One should be mindful here that this rnay be generous when the samne courses, with sorne variations, of course,, are taught year after year and allowing almost 20 hours a week for preparation and evaluation may be generous. The teachers work 34 weeks a year with 18 weeks away from the classroom which mnany fi with part-time jobs. This is soxnething that wouId lc easy to take. Student-teacher ratio in colieges average out at 16.3 in 1983-84 up from 14.8 in 1981-82. 0f course there will be excep- tions but the fact is the ratio is not one that should be destroy- ing the quality of education in comrnunity colleges. When Hoy points out that the average teacher will earn over some $40,000 a year it does seem the crunch as stated by the teachers is not really there. It would appear the Council of Regents and the Province of Ontario are within their right to hold out to meet the demands f or an additional 1200 community coliege teachers at an an- nual salary of over $40,000. It was the taxpayers and the students who were being held up to ransorn in this latest strike and Hoy makes one other point we could agree with-that eliminated for teachers.

James Richards is co- author of The Birds of Oshawa and Lake Scugog Area" w hich was pubiished in the mid 1970's. This book itself is a comprehen ive study of birds who fltoniy breed in the area which in- cludes Dariington Township but also those which pass through on migration. The book is an indication of the intense interest heid by Richards in birds and in the natural environment. Richards also hoids an in- tercst in photography having compiied a sizeable library of being the right to strike be bird photos. As to his dedication he has said hie wiii contin ue his struggle for the preservation of the Second Marsh for as long as it takes to assure that future generations may enjoy the attributes of this great wetland area.

Lovekin, Mayor Garnet Ri ckard and Senator Andrew Thompson have been niamed as an Advisory Council to the fund raising tearn. The history, of Memorial Hospital dates back to 1912 when J. W. Alexander, owner of the Dominion Organ and Piano Company in Bowmanvilie donated a house for hospital purposes on the condition that the community raised $5,000 to mnake it operational. On March 26th, .1913 the first hospitai in Bowmanviile becamne a reaiity under the name of BOwmanvilie Hospital. In 1951 a one-storey, 50-bed faciiity was opened in Bowmanvilie across the road from the Alexander -building at a cost of $400,000.

Rernember those stove pipes should be cleaned and burned out with paper ready for the days when "The winds are rouigh and wild". one of the main issues of the Comrnunity College strike is "work load". When I attended Central Public School in Bowmanville, 1 us- cd to see Miss Reta Caldwel (Foster) leading her class of Junior and Senior Second pupils up the stairs with well over fifty boys and girls following. This would be about the year 1917. Pontypool had over fifty pupils and eight grades at that time. The young man teacher endcd up in Whitby. So they decided some change must becrnade. They added a piece to the school to make it longer, put a petition dlown the mniddle and hired two teachers from that tirne on. This writer taught forty four pupils for four years and ail eight grades and flot one rnentioned "work load". How things have changed and for the better! The Loyalists by Selwyn Banwell (continued) The King's Forces under Gereral Burgoyne sur- rendered at Saratoga. The Committee of Patriots at Cochecton, under the leader- ship of Thornasson came out into the open and assumcd the local government. They issued proclamations and levied forced taxes; openly and secretly they harassed and pillàged ail those who bore the taint of Toryism. As the months passed our anx- ieties deepened. We had no word fromrny father, and knew not whether he was alive or dead. The attitude of our enernies became more and more threatening; we knew flot what fresh demands they might make, nor howý we might meet them. The question was decided with terrible suddenness that September night. My sister was awakened by a spear be- ing drawn across her foot. facilities at Memiorial are to start in the spring of 1985 and will bec -ornpleted early in 1988. Renovations will take place to 80 percent of the pre- sent building and the number of beds will increase from. the present 86 to 105. The new addition will be constructed on the site of the present parking lot and be linked directiy ,with the pre- sent facilities. The top floor wîill be designated for long-term care having 30 beds, double the present facilities. Day services are to be ex- panded and there will be a doubling of capacity for emergencies with a special unit for cardiac and intensive care patients. Contributions to the Foun- dation are tax-deductible and cheques may be sent to Thinking that Captain Jack was at one of his ill-timed pleasantries she called out, stîll half-asleep: "Go away, Captain Jack." She was wide awake the next minute, when a strange voice ans'iered her: '.Me no Captain Jack. Get up quick. Go to white man's house across the river.- He want you." Kate did flot hesitate. She drcssed in haste and paddled her canoe as quickly as she couid across the river to the Kane's farm. She did flot know what the message meant, but she was not anx- ious beyond orcinary. Jesse Kane had taken a less active part than his friend Robert Land in the troublcd affairs of the country. Truc, he was a Tory, but he was a man of peace -- he had stayed at home. As she crossed the Kane's threshold Kate stumbled over an obstacle. She turned the light of her lantern upon it, [ecognized what it was, and clung to the door frame for a moment's support. t was the murdered body of her childhood's friend, Alice Kane. No old soldier hardened in the wars could have been more brave and resolute than my sister, or acted more quickly. She entered the room and held the lantern high above her head. Not murder, but massacre, father, mother and children lay huddled in death upon the floor. Back across the river came Kate in frantic haste, and as she beached the canoe in our little creek mouth the same uncouth voice greeted her again: "House burn: get chldren." With a sudden movement she flashed the light of her lantcrni in the face of the messenger. "Long Time Star!" she cried. But Long Tijue Star had vanished and flot one of us ever laid eyes upon him again. He had tried to save the Kanes; he had (as the event proved) sav- ed the Lands; no doubt he thqughit it high time to save himself. Kate got the family up, and we aIl sought refuge in the nearby cornfields, flot long before a distant, discordant, outcry hearlded the approach of our enemies. So obviously were they disappointed at the absence of their proposed vic- tims that 1 was surprised and relieved when, after our home and sustenance had been destroyed, no more than the most pretunctory attempt was made at a search. I knew that it was Thomasson's work and that his crew were f'or the Most part white men painted and dressed to resem- ble Indians. Why did hie let his prey escape so easily? Later I heard the explana- tion from the lips of Captain Jack who had been a primoer at the wheelwright house al night. Long Time Star however, was free, and Cap- tain Jack had secretly dispat- ched him to warn us. The prisoner managed to escape the second day and join us in our flight.
