Page C4 THE COBOURG STAR, FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1974 Eldorado talks stalled Conciliation meetings between Eldorado Nuclear Limited and the negotiating committee for about 200 members of the United Steelworkers of America have resulted in no contract settlement. The present contract between the company and the union employees terminates on September 30. The next move in the negotiations will be determined by the federal minister of labor who is presently receiving reports from conciliation officers who conducted bargaining meetings in July and August. A joint press release from local 13173 of the United Steelworkers of America and Eldorado Nuclear Limited was issued Wednesday. It began, "Negotiations between local 13173 United Steelworkers of America and Eldorado Nuclear Limited involving some 200 employees at Eldorado's Port Hope refinery are still in the concilliation stage". Collective bargaining on the contract began on June 5 and the four meetings that were held failed to bring about a settlement and the parties agreed on June 13 to request the Minister of Labor of Canada to provide conciliation services. Under the chairmanship of the conciliation officers appointed by the minister, joint and separate meetings with the company and the union were held on July 16 and August 26. The meetings did not result in a settlement and the officers are currently in the process of reporting to the minister of labor in accordance with the provisions of the Canada Labor Code.

Every day we perform certain functions in exactly the same manner without giving any thought as to how we do them. Some habits, good or bad, become fixed. For instance, when you put on a coat, which arm goes into the sleeve first? It's always the same one. If you want to really recognize a habit, try switching arms the next time you put on a coat. First, you will have a struggle to get into the coat and second, it won't fell like your coat for the first minute or so. When dressing, do you put on both socks and then both shoes, or one sock and shoe on the same foot before doing the other? Left or right foot first? Many of our driving habits are pretty well fixed, too. Fortunately, some of them are good. However, we may have some bad habits that are potential killers! Check this list compiled by the Ontario Safety League, before you start out on the Labor Day holiday weekend: 1. Failure to yield to other vehicles, or pedestrians. 2. Speeding or "driving too fast for conditions." (Hurrying too fast in order to make up for lost time because sufficient time was not allowed for the trip.) 3. Following the vehicle ahead too closely (tailgating). 4. Neglect to fasten safety belts because the trip is a short one. 5. Forget to use knowledge gained in defensive driving course (drive defensively). 6. Failure to respect the rights of cyclists - motor or otherwise. 7. Entering or leaving a parked vehicle on the street side. 8. Pulling away from a curb without first checking traffic. 9. Having one - or another one - "for the road". 10. Not using proper signals. (A big cause of accidents.) 11. Driving too slowly and staying in the passing lane. 12. Passing without checking for other vehicles coming from the rear . 13. Backing a vehicle without first making certain the area is clear. 14. DriVing with one hand while resting the other on the car top; or using it while driving to punish the kids in the back seat. 15. Handling books, papers, road map, articles of clothing, etc. while driving, thus taking your eyes and attention off the road. 16. Crossing railroad tracks without making sure the way is clear. 17. While driving, carry on an "eye-to-eye" conversation with the passenger either next to you or in the back seat. 18. Lighting cigars, cigarettes, and pipes while driving. 19. Driving while physically or emotionally ill, or while taking strong medication. 20. Driving while your mind is on other things. Just a bad habit can creep up on us in such a manner that we are hooked without being aware of it. Spotting and curing just one bad driving habit may eliminate a bad accident, serious injury, or even save a life! Thirty-nine people never returned from their Civic Holiday weekend in Ontario. The Ontario Safety League would like to see you all home safely following Labor Day. Meanwhile, back at Cooper Tool...

Early on Friday morning, Tom Ward, aged 74 years, was out stoking the oats in a field owned by Howard White. Mr. Ward, combine out here this early in the morning," he explained. "It's too wet. All the dew on the oats makes it too wet to operate those big machines." While Mr. White pulled the old thresher pride. "My bundles usually stay put unless there's a really strong wind. And I'm not rough with the oats, either." Why is the old thresher still used? "You need a big machine to thresh a big plained to us, it's hard to find farm labor to follow along behind a thresher stoking the crop. After the crop is piled, a wagon comes along and it is loaded to take the grain into the farm.
