Arend Dekker, Teacher representative for the staff at P.P.H.S. and other' members of the staff have agreed to parent re- quests and will be present to answer questions. El Gary McConnell, chair- man of the salary committee for the 890 teachers involved in talks with the board, work-to-rule order told Osh- awa Times the work-to-rule order went into effect be- cause of a total lack of progress in negotiations be- tween the teachers and the board and because of tbe board's refusal to agree to binding arbitration, The work-to-rule order was sanctioned by" the OSSTF at the meeting and will remain in effect indefin- itely, Mr. McConnell said. "He 'said a suggestion earlier this week by the board that the talks be taken to the provincial level of the Ontario school trustees and teachers could lead to mass resignations among teachers and school closures. Mr. McConnell said the teachérs maintain binding arbitration is the only way to settle the talks which have dragged on for several "months at the local level 'without any settlement in sight. Taste and smell for the new "baby are so closely related that it is difficult to dis- tinguish between them, St. John Ambulance tells mot- hers. Babies appear to have a sense of taste from birth and to prefer a sweet flavor. 576-7550 "A capacity crowd filled the Recreation Centre in Black- stock on' Saturday evening for the annual Cartwright High School commencement exercises, In welcoming the large crowd the principal, Mr. Gordon Paisley, com- mented that their presence bore witness to the com- munity's continued interest support of the small com- munity centred school. This commencement hon- oured the largest group of "Grade 13 graduates ever at Cartwright High School. There were twenty-one Hon- our graduates - seven of whom were Ontario Scho- lars, having attained an average of 80 percent or over. Of the graduates, nine are presently attending uni- versity, six are at Com- munity colleges, one is at Nursing school and the remainder are apprenticing or employed. In commending the achie- vements of the graduates, the principal noted that a challenge was set for stu- dents presently enrolled at the school, and that such a challenge could. be met through the co-operation of students, parents and teach- ers. In a school such as Cartwright High, the stu- dents have a strong sense of pride and school because they get involved and are able to participate in a wide variety of ' activities. Mr. Paisley expressed the hope that high standards would always be a prime objective. Eiven though there is a decline in enrollment this year, the emphasis is on quality as opposed to quantity. He pointed out that a wider variety of options was being offered 'this year and a greater (flexibility existed in the timetable, allowing students greater freedon in their choice of subjects. He referred to the night school programme; seven- ty-nine persons are regis- tered in sewing (basic and advanced), upholstery and wood refinishing, and can- ing. In addition, this year an experimental 'project is being conducted; the school library is open to the people of the community on Wed- nesday evenings each week.' In closing Mr. Paisley referred to the feelings of nostalgia which are always associated with commence- ment programmes; feelings g evoking memoreis of happy moments in school and 'moments of grief such as was experienced during the past year at the death of a stydent, Joe Frey, who was admired and respected by staff and 'students alike. ® After a few remarks by School Board representative Mr. Art Rowan, the Second- ary School Graduation Dip- lomas (Grade 12) and Hon- our Graduation Diplomas (Grade 13) were presented. ® Next followed the present- ation of prizes and awards and various scholarships and bursaries, including Ontario Scholarship awards of $150 each, Finally, pretty Susan Mc- ® Coll of Trent University gave the senior class valedictory address. After a few short selections by the Glee Club, the evening's programme was topped off by a one act student play, 'The Salvation of Crinkles McCain, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Reeve Lawrence Malcolm undecided Deputy-reeve, councillors decided As the five day nomination period beginning November 9 approaches, members of the Cartwright township council are formulating their plans. Beginning this year, each nominee for a council position must obtain ten electors' signatures on his nomination paper and file this paper sometime during the five day period beginning Thursday, November 9 and ending on Monday, Novem- ber 13 at 5 p.m. When asked, Mr. Law- rence Malcolm, Reeve, had not "yet decided whether he would run again. However, Vernon Asselstine, Deputy Reeve, has decided to reoffer for that position. He added, "We will have regional . government in this area in a couple of years. I have lately attended many meetings on regionalism and I know something about it, so I'd like to be in on it when it arrives." Don Frew, councillor, has decided to run again. Mr. Frew has four years exper- ience. Councillor Norman Mairs is again running for that position too. Mr. Mairs is not in favor of regional government. "Nobody has yet pointed out the advan- tages to me", he said. Furthermore, he believes 'it more costly than the tax- payer realizes. A regional government didn't work in St. Catherines. They ended up by throwing it out. A lot of people don't understand it's practical aspects. Just be- cause regionalism- is new doesn't necessarily mean its better. if it comes here, the first thing you know, we'll * have a high-priced engineer with a big staff move in. And we won't have to wait long for taxes to start climbing." Mr. Mairs concluded that "'if enough people don't want regional government, it won't be brought in." When contacted, council- lor Harvey Graham asser- ted; "I will probably run again. But I don't know how long this council will remain in sessiori what with regional government just around the corner. I have enjoyed my two years as a member of the council. But I am concerned about the possible implications of regional gov- ernment for this area. Here in Blackstock, we have already had experience with a regional educational setup and its very difficult to solve any problems that arise. If we want to look into any difficulty that arises at the school, the principal is the only one we can: talk to. There is no school board present with a controlling interest, We can only go-to the principal in the hope that $ he. will supplicate with the higher -powers."' Mr. Graham suspects that regional government will turn out to be as impersonal a system as regional educa- tion. Furthermore, 'Lately, nobody tells us what's going .on. We would like to find out more about regionalism, to see what is involved." The two words: 'regional government" have lately appeared and reappeared with despairing frequency through the reports of every council's doings and like they say in the song, it seems "there ain't nothin' (we) can do about it." ML Uxbridge receives plaque On Wednesday, November 8. (to-day), an historical plaque commemorating the founding of the Town of Uxbridge will be unveiled at the Public Library in that community. This plaque is one of a series being erected throughout the province by the Historical and Museums Branch, Archives of Ontario, acting on the advice of the Archaeological and Historic Sites' Board of Ontario. This ceremony is being arranged and sponsored by the Town of Uxbridge. Mrs. Thomas Lennox, Chairman of the Library Board, will act as programme chairman. Others invited to take part are: His Worship Ray New- ton, Mayor of Uxbridge; Professor Wm. S. Goulding, School of Architecture, Uni- versity of Toronto, who will represent the province's Historic Sites Board; and, Mr." Wm. H. Gould, a descendant of one of the town's founders. The plaque will be unveiled by Dr.' Matthew B. Dymond, M.P.P. (Ontario). The Rev. Arthur H. Voteray, Free Methodist Church, Uxbridge, will dedi- cate the plque. The inscription on plaque reads: The" Founding of Uxbridge The settlement of this area was stimulated by the arri- val about 1806 of approx- imately twelve Quaker fam- ilies from Pennsylvania. ® About 1808 Joseph Collins completed the first saw and grist-mill around which a community developed. The mill was bought in 1832 by Joseph Gould. A post office named Uxbridge was opened .» in 1836 with Joseph Bascom as Postmaster. In 1844 Gould, industrialist, - land owner and later first mem- ber of the Parliament of Canada for Ontario North, erected a large woolen mill. The completion in 1871 of the ™ section of the Toronto and Nipissing Railway between Scarborough and Uxbridge fostered the growth of community. Incorporated as a village with a population of 1,367 in 1872, Uxbridge be- * came a town in 1885. the * I -™--y ®t ts
