Ontario. Sue Stickley, community relations relations officer at the Darlington site, said yesterday that there were approximately approximately 1,700 employees still on the job. Approximately 1,000 Darlington employees have now been laid off due to a disruption in the work schedule caused by the four-week- old electricians' strike. On Monday, the members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Electrical Workers were joined by the United Association of P'umbers and Pipefitters who were also in a legal position to strike. The main issue in the electricians' electricians' strike is Hydro's proposed reduction reduction or elimination of room- and-board and travel allowances.

HYDRO STRIKE - It's difficult for outsiders to understand understand the logic behind the current strike at Darlington Darlington Generating Station. Certainly the workers want better working conditions or pay, or both, but what happens if they manage to stop all work at the plant? Opponents have been trying to do that since long before it was started. And it would be a bit weird if those working there managed to accomplish what others outside have been unable to achieve. Maybe the strikers will join the nuclear-free rally coming up in Oshawa.

Witnesses were Wilma Power and Fran Keatley. We have another one listed in Sportalk from Pebblestone Pebblestone Golf Club, so it's been a good week. IT'S A FIRST - Congratulations to Town Treasurer Kathryn Campbell who, we understand, became the mother of a baby girl, on June 3, 1984 in Peterborough Peterborough Civic Hospital, the newborn weighing in at 6 lbs. 14 ozs. We would probably be correct in stating that this is the first time in history any treasurer or maybe even any top official of the town has given birth and been granted 17 weeks maternity maternity leave. Let's see, there was Alick Lyle and before before him came his father John Lyle. One of these days it could even happen to a mayor, not this one, or a councillor. Times are certainly changing. ISMiH EQUAL TIME - Remember the photo last week showing Bob Cameron in his trailer serving coffee and cookies to Manager John Eaton of the Bank of Commerce because they had been so good to him. The story didn't end there. Mrs. Bob Cameron dropped dropped in at the Statesman on Monday, just a touch annoyed because she wasn't mentioned although she said that she really did all the work and Bob just sat there slurping coffee and taking all the credit.
