a prinitisona bok aniaaniadinbiiokife soe tide, Continued mendation on the part of the present council. Before it comes into effect, it must be ratified by the incoming council after the municipal elections. That council also has the option of turning down the recommendation completely, and voting themselves more or less than a four per cent increase. The recommendation would also increase the rate of pay of the Regional Chairman by $1,000 to $34,000 annually. During debate on the:re- commendation, which came from the Region's manage- ment committee, Scugog ®layor Lawrence Malcolm told his fellow councillors that he was opposed to it on the grounds that he believes any incoming council should make its own decisions and take the responsibility for its actions. Management committee chairman, Allan (Oshawa) told council that the four per cent was decided on for several reasons. The first is that it is considerably less than the raises given municipal employees; it is close to the increase in the assessment in the Region; and in councillor Dewar's words, "four per cent in one "year looks better than a 15 per cent hike every three or four years." One Regional councillor, Ed Woodyard (Newcastle) raised the ire of some of his "colleagues when he stated that based on the 25 council meetings and 23 committee meetings he attended, the proposed $12,980 annual sal- ary works out to a per diem Dewar" TN Ne edd SS Four per cent faise proposed rate of $250. Several councillors quick- \ly pointed out that their jobs involve much more than simply showing up for the scheduled meetings, and a couple said municipal work often keeps them busy six and seven days per week. Uxbridge councillor, Gary Harrema voted in favour of the recommendations, stat- ing that he knows young business people who would like to run for regional office but can't afford it because the job doesn't pay enough. He suggested to his collea- gues that if there are any of them who could not accept the increase in pay, they could simply refuse to have it added to their pay che- ques, something which has been done at least once by a Union wants conciliator inFlamingo negotiations A spokesman for Team- sters Local 647 says he ex- pects a provincial conciliator to be appointed by the end of this week to help in stalled contract talks between man- agement and production workers at Flamingo Pas- tries in Port Perry. The request for the con- # ciliator was made by the union June 12 following two days of negotiations that resulted in little progress towards a settlement. * Union rep Bill Overy says that once the conciliator is appointed it will likely be four weeks before the meet- ing can be arranged between management and the union. He added that if the concilia- COTTAGES - FARMS - MARINAS tion process fails to bring the two sides closer together and a no-board report is turned in by the conciliator, the wor- kers will be in a legal posi- tion to strike 16 days later. Mr. Overy would not go into specific details but he did say that wages and work- ing conditions are the main outstanding issues for the workers who have been with- out a contract since April 22. Pay scales range from $4.20 to $5.75 an hour with about 90 per cent of the workers receiving the base rate. Almost all of the workers are female.

Comco plan new addition Comco Metal and Plastics Industries is planning an 8000 square foot expansion to its manufacturing plant located on the Oshawa Road just south of Port Perry. The new addition to the north side of the plant will bring the total floor area to more than 30,000 square feet. A company spokesman said Monday that the addi- tional space is required for new manufacturing equip- ment which will provide for a more efficient operation. The foundation for the expansion is now under con- struction and the new area i$ expected to be ready for use by the end of August. Comco recently changed its name from K.R.

Some councillors wanted to know how the new rates in Durham would compare to other municipal jurisdictions and councillor Dewar said it is difficult to make accurate A comparisons because re- sponsibilities vary. He did concede, however, that the salaries of Durham council- lors "are pretty close to the top" of the municipal scale. Of the present $12,450 sal- ary, $5000 is tax free, and there are other benefits such as mileage while on Region business, re-imbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, and subsidized meals in the cafeteria. Teacher contract talks stalled Negotiators for District 17 of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation have asked for appointment of a provincial mediator to help resolve four major issues still outstanding in contract negotiations with the Durham Board of Educa- tion. District 17 negotiator John Gilman says that seven CICA ICIN0000 sessions since January have resolved most of the out- standing issues, but the ones remaining described as "economic" are still far from being settled. The one year contract covering the Board's 1,000 high school teachers in Dur- ham expires August 31 of this year. 7/5), 1000000000000 00O0O00000 WINDOW SHADES ALL SIZES 36" Width 2.95 - ¥3.95 - *4.95 WINDOW HARDWARE LARGE ASSORTMENT PRE-PASTED LARGE STOCK single roll District 17 is expected to make its position public later this month after the central bargaining committee meets with members in the 17 high schools in the Region.
