The industrial relations specialist, who is co-author of the $1 million report by the federal Task Force on Labor Relations, also accused the Ontario Liberal Party and the New Democrats of failing to even recog- nize that a problem exists in the in- dustry, let alone offer any possible solution. Both opposition parties have been highly critical of the sug- gested legislation and have joined the unions in presenting a united front against the government.

Members of construction un- ions across the province have been pressuring the government to amend Bill 167 or face a massive anti-government vote in the next provincial election. _.. .q-. Mr. Crispo contends that construc- tion unions have become so powerful and conditions in the industry so chaotic that smaller companies no longer attempt to hold the line on wages. Contract negotiations are a form of collusion by which labor and management agree to pass on wage increases in the form of higher building costs to a helpless public. Mr. Crispo said the results of bar- gaining in the industry are intoler- able. The costs are incalculable, he said. “It is contributing to a rise in construction costs that precludes During recent election campaigns (including the October 5 regional election) several m e m b e r s of Vaughan Township Council pledged themselves to see that a wand system is set up for future use in township elections. We believe that they should intro- duce a bylaw to that effect at the earliest possible moment, so that their intent will not be forgotten and so that there will be plenty of time to do the necessary research and set up a fair and equitable division of population among the wards.

It has been estimated that recent one-year settlements in Ontario com- munities brought wage increases ranging from 29.6% to 40.9%. In his brief Mr. Crispo referred to rec- ent settlements that gave 250 crane operators across the province wages of $8.00 an hour and plumbers more than $7.00 an hour and said he fears these wages will set the pattern in 1971 when about 80% of the con- struction Workers enter bargaining. Mr. Crispo maintained the prov- ince should compel multi-trade, area- tvide bargaining in the construction Industry in the hopes of getting as many people as possible into the act at once. The government of Premier John Robarts is to be congratulated in its attempts to bring some semblance of stability into the construction indus- try. Even these timid attempts at reform have been met by mass rallies and the threat of political pressure by the organized might of the trade union movement. The unions with their active political support of the New Democratic Socialists (the rec- ent Ontario New Democratic Leader- ship Convention was a good barom- eter of this support) are lost to the Conservatives in any case. The Ro- barts Government therefore should think twice before it buckles under to pressure from the unions. society’s meeting of so many vital unmet needs such as public housing and pollution abatement. “It is setting impossible wage pre- cedents and unduly upsetting long- established wage and salary relation- ships. And in the process of all this, it is aggravating what are already difficult enough bargaining relation- ships in all sorts of other industries.” The Nixon Liberals ‘have made' their usual negative response to this issue â€" they have simply followed the lead of Stephen Lewis and the New Democrats. It is becoming in- creasingly obuious that in the next provincial election the people of Ontario are going to have a clear choice between the .Robarts Tories and the Lewis-led Socialists. council table. But as long as all council members are elected over the whole municipality, the danger is always alarmingly present that one area may dominate council. A con- certed effort on behalf of a small section of a municipality and “plunkers” (ballots on which only one name is Xed, instead of five) can make this happen in any election. For Vaughan As preparations for regional gov- ernment roll into high gear in Rich- mond Hill, it is becoming quite evi- dent that the three members of the 1971-72 council from the extended areas of the new town will make a great contribution.

Recent research indicates we may be able to solve both these garbage and sewage problems by combining their treatment in a single plant. Two Ohio scien- tists have announce US. federal financing of a pilot project based upon studies which indi- cate that a combined system can improve recycling possibilities of materials, eliminate air pollu- tion, and produce a much more acceptable liquid effluent at a cost well below current costs of handling these wastes separate- ly. It is not enough for the pro- vincial government to merely state to what extent pollution of our environment is permitted, we sorely need to ensure that substantial research funds are available from government and corporate sources for a crash, comprehensive approach in fin- ding improved answers to the frightening ecological crisis of our times. Perhaps in that way we shall stop creating even more serious problem each time we find an apparent solution to ‘some aspects of the pollution of iour enviroment.

Stev‘ Wright is an enterprising young man from 0a}; Ridges who has recently made taxidermy his caree , (not your every day career decision, you’ll admit). As a man who appreciates the beauty of nature, he enjoys saving some of the grandeur she has created . . . the magnificent rack of a stag, the quiet grace of a pheasant and even the minute miracle called the humming bird. It is apparent from his mounts that he understands the animals he works with. Steve doesn’t contort the faces or bodies into aggressive or unnatural poses, but ar- ranges them as naturally as possible. The gentility of one display singularly impressed me. It was a pair of Woodcocks, one at the base of a grotesquely shaped piece of wood and its mate very beautifully, at the lowest point of its wing movement, returning to her. The display was very natural and showed to me the understanding and tenderness of the man. Somehow, taxidermy has always repelled me, just a little. The killing of any animal simply for the sake of a handsome trophy is unspeakable. My mind sees a thoughtless idiot swooping down in a plane shooting wolves with a high powered weapon and calling it sport. Naturally then, I wondered about this man, Steve Wright who is in the business of creating trophies for these people. But he too, has a distaste for butchers of this type and has turned away clients if he thought they fell into this category. Inihe Sp 011i ghft come mere curiosities A comparative study of York County’s open plan ele- mentary schools by Mr. Burnham is essentially an introduction to the studY. furnishing a solid base for more intensive studies now underway at both elementary and secondary school levels. Some of the projects are largely local, like “Planning Newmarket’s Educational Future” by Newmarket Tea- cher Ron Pegg, although its findings may be applied to other growing communities in the county. Aimed at the educator are studies by Dr. Sar Khan of OISE in “The Curriculum and Development of Mental Abilities” and Mr. BaCSal- masi's analysis of “The Place of Curriculum Com- mittees in the York County School System”. (Photo by Stuart’s Studio) By BONNIE SHEPPARD In The Tradition of RA iFavor Marxist Line Women's Lib Class Warâ€"Speaker She spoke contemptuously of the Jean Drapeau victory in Montreal’s r e c e n t municipal elections and charge that not just women, but the majority of people in Quebec are oppressed. Mrs. Marks told the audience she is 27, that she came from Florida with ‘her draft-doger husband three years ago, but is now separated and works at the University of Toronto Library. She described a day care cen- ter operating on the university campus staffed largely by volun- teers and serving women of the university community. It was her work at the centre, she said, that brought her to Women’s Lib. There are too few day care centres, and government regulaâ€" tions regarding qualified super- vision are so rigid that most working women cannot afford the centres now available. By MARGARET LADE Contrary to public opinion, the Women’s Liber- ation Movement does not look upon women as the only opposed sector of society, as man as the enemy, declared representatives of Metro Women’s Lib at a meeting of York County Women’s University Club at Kingcraft on October 26. The leader of the panel of three, Alma Marks, explained that society is geared for the comfortable, there are too many “losers” in the system, that she see Women’s Lib not as a conflict between sexes, but as a cenflict between classes. Her group, said Mrs. Marks, is Marxist oriented, representative of the Women’s Working Collective and the Quebec Collective for the liberatiOn of all women. They realize, however, that there are other oppressed groups. that the major conflict is not between sexes but between classes. Experimental studies in- volving student include an OISE project, “Ten years in a Box” covering the years from 1929 to 1939 and an ex- perimental social studies course for grade 6 on the history and geography of Eurasia as described by Principal Gordon Maunder of William Armstrong School in the Town of Markham. “These 17 “points” are a representative selection of the more than three dozen projects reported to the re- search office between April 1969 and September 1970,” explains Mr Bumham. ‘ “These 17 differ mainly in that research or develop- ment had been concluded or reached a major milestone. Other projects not so far along promise, judging by their interim reports. to sus- tain the good beginning rec- orded in “Growth Points 70". If a woman wants to work.‘ charged Mrs. Marks, she usually “ends up depending on another woman doing the menial task of looking after the children." Questioned by members of the audience, she seemed unaware of the courses available for child care workers and early child- hood education supervisors. Nor was she familiar with the type of financial assist- ance available from various levels of government and day care facilities in York County. There was a murmur of proâ€" test from the audience when ers. Marks said children are better off with volunteers in a day care centre than with their ‘parents. Referring to the speaker’s earlier comments about Mar- xism. a member of the audience asked if she would like to see a Russian-type of child supervi- sion program, a society where women are expected to work away from home. “if I have to work I am not liberated,” declared the ques- tioner. Another commented, “I am a married woman, and I enjoy be- ing in my kitchen.” A third agreed, “If you are going to liberate women, you have to free them to do what they want to do. to spend all their time in the kitchen if they want to.” The university women agreed that in some areas day care centres are essential for women who are fprced to work. One in every ten families, declared Mrs. Marks, is headed by a woman. Society as a whole does not recognize this, she charged. It is harder for a woman to find a job, and most jobs for women pay much less than jobs for men. The economy, she said, is based on the assumption that a woman lives through a man, “We want an equal chance for equal work . . . but the cards stacked against us.” Another speaker, Karen Shaw,‘ 22, told the meeting that in her‘ high school days it depressed her that she could not compete in dress and dates because she could not afford the things that daughters of doctors and law- yers had. When she she said. she about dress. Dressed in slacks and baggy sweater with a bandana hiding her hair, she said she owed $1.200 in student loans.
