reese -- "Cty. Board Of Education And Smoking In Schools #® The Ontario County Board of Education appointed a committee Monday night to, study methods of carrying] out the board's 'policy on student smoking in schools, The issue came before the board Dec. 8. At that time 'sthe board decided to "go on record as not allowing smok- ing in the schools by students', Director of Education G.L. Roberts said then the .policy would be impossible -to en- ¥orce in the areas of night school and school dances. Trustees received a report Monday night from Mr. Rob- erts stating the policy has not been enforced in the schools, and, as stated, would lead to '"'severe staff frustration") %ind the "flouting of. the, prohibition" by the students. Trustee H.C. Wilson said when hé first read the report 'three things came to mind. - "T'was aware this was a delicate matter because of the press Boverage it received. "I thought the diréctor ~hadn't accepted the board's decision. And I thought the motion was too authoritarian. We 'need participation and leadership to be successful. "Because this is a habit like drugs you can't just say stop it because we say so," said Trustee Wilson. Trustee P.J. Brady said 6.M. Workers 2-Day Lay-Off In. January About 10,000 hourly rated workers at GM will _4 be laid off two days this month as the company cont- ---inues--to--decrease --inventor- ies in the face of slow sales. A company spokesman said today both 'eight-hour shifts will be dropped on Jan, 16 -and 30. With similar * lay-offs at the Ste. Therese plant, the 32 hours of shut- down will reduce product- ion by 4,000 vehicles. Sched- uled production for the two weeks involved was prévious- ly about 20,000 units. Local 222, UAW represent- Tatives have been notified of the planned shutdowns, the spokesman said. About 1,000 men at the Oshawa plants will continue to work both days, mainly in tool and die work, parts Wand export shipping. Most of those affected will qualify for an automatic short week benefit in the contract which gives them 80 per cent of their normal pay for the lost hours of work. The company said the "production cutbacks are to adjust inventory in the face of a weak market.

This report suggests a grand weakness in face of any problem. I realize this is not the director's intent." Mr. Roberts said ~~ "'the report doesn't suggest a lack of backbone on my part. The easiest thing 'would have been to attempt to enforée this policy and watch it fail, and then let you handle it. Chairman S.E. Lovell said the policy is still on the books. "It has not been rescinded. The trustees must give this committee a clear idea of what it is to do." Trustee Wilson said it should find acceptable ways to implement the policy "and then report back to us'. Trustee Mrs. Sheila Vierin said the same motion to set up a committee for further study was defeated when the problem was discussed Dec. 8. The motion had been intro- duced by vice-chairman, D. W. Quick and seconded by Trustee Vierin. Trustee F.R. Britten who served a notice of motion Dec. 8, said that he would propose smoking be banned in the board room. as a good ex- ample to the students, said he would withdraw his motion "if it was the wish of the board".

Check The Label On Your Paper Real Estate The new York-Oshawa-Ont- ario health unit could be in existence by early February, Fred Pearse, business admin- istrator for the York-Oshawa District Health Unit said to Oshawa Times last week. A merger would see the bylaw which established the York-Oshawa District Health Unit in June 1968 be amend- ed to include Ontario County. York County Council meets dan. 13 to vote on the merger and if the green light is given will sit down with the city and Ontario County to work out the phasing. City council and Ontario County Council have approved the merger in principle. ". York County approves the new health unit there would be an attempt to make the merger retroactive to Jan. 1 in order Ontario County can benefit from the 76 per cent provincial government subsidies, said Mr. Pearse.

Cornish 16 rinks competed in the fifth annual Senior Bonspiel in Port Perry Curling Rink, Saturday. : A writer on an Oshawa rink gave a great deal of praise to R.H. Cornish and gave him credit for an idea he dreamed up five years ago. Below is what he says about Mr. Cornish in Oshawa Times: Five years ago he dreamed up the idea of a curling bon- spiel "for us old guys" and it was.to be a Senior bonspiel. A full year before the Ontario Curling Association did some- thing about providing compet- ition for the oldtime enth- usiasts, he had that idea and the following year he started. * Last Saturday in Port Perry Roy Cornish convened, con- ducted, operated and ran nual Seniors Bonspiel and the Port Perry Curling Club and of the 16 rinks who had been there the year before -- 15 of them were on hand again this year -- not a bad record for "popularity" is it? Four old gentlemen from Barrie - and.really, the only sure thing is that a couple of them were old, won the Bon- spiel. Stan Bruton's rink won the second prize, Art Stubbins of Oshawa won third prize. It's a great day in Port Perry and a lot of other clubs should 'smarten up" and have a Seniors' Bonspiel -- you have to make your shots, - there are no young energetic sweepers on hand to help the short rock.
