Must Avoid Teacher Strikes Says OS-STF Head Farquharson Something had gone ter- ribly wrong to force the sys- tem to remain closed for the longest period in On- tario’s history, and it was possible it might close again before the end of the month. Caretakers in the schools have set April 22 as a strike deadline. "This must not happen," Mr. Farquharson said. Were there no funds to increase wages to workers? If the answer were no, then the board's books must be opened for scrutiny. SHARON: East Gwillim- bury Township Council last week authorized its engineer to purchase 146 street name signs and 75 posts from Fawcett Metal Products at a cost of $3,000. the first phase of a street sign pro- gram in the township.

Hall Acting Director of Education er himself at Thornhill Secâ€" ondary School. said that the teachers were back to obey the law and he hoped they would remain back. There must be more “soul searching" between th e board and teachers to decide in which direction they were heading. “All decisions must be based on a humane approach with an understanding that this system is not a machine, not a mechanism, not an ad- ministrative unit, not a device to aid administration. but is people working with people." he said. They must all put aside their biases and proceed to build the best system in On- tario, he said. The speaker listed a few suggestions towards _m_a§(.ing a better system: establish- ment of a teacher-trustee re- lations committee, with powâ€" er to recomend to the board when decisions should be made; remove "frills" from the administrative area, not the classrooms, if finances must be cut; evaluate the need of groups such as or- ganizational development; study the closure of four area offices and place all administrative needs within the proposed. new adminis~ trative building. He also criticized what he said was board policy not to allow teachers time off to get married, which was the kind of unworkable rule that should go. However, Trustee Doreen Quirk of Markham. later challenged him on this. Mrs. Quirk said she knew of no board ‘policy covering that, but the OSSTF handbook that she had. said it was “unethical” for teachers to ask for time off to get mar- ried. Those things should be done during legitimate holidays, such as Christmas or Easter. Trustee Ross Jolliffe of Vaughan told the speaker he had had several calls from parents complaining t h at teachers were spending much of their classroom time ex- plaining the position of the OSSTF during the recent holidays, such as Christmas or Easter. Did the OSSTF now en- courage its members to take time off to get married? Mr. Farquharson said he would have to look into the matter. Trustee Ross Jolliffe of Vaughan told the speaker he had had several calls from parents complaining t h at teachers were spending much of their classroom time ex- plaining the position of the OSSTF during the recent strike, and "continuing to draw up a division." Teachers have been asked to discuss the significance of these articles with their classes and come up with a class entry. The winning class would have a list of their names, teachers, princ- ipals and name of the school included in the cornerstone for posterity. Deadline for entries is April 15. The winners will be taken on a tour of the hospital and be treated at the Richmond Hill Odeon Theatre. The list of winners will also be displayed in the lobby of the theatre. What was District 11 of the OSSTF doing about that? Mr. Farquharson said he would like to be supplied with evidence on the mat- ter and he would follow it up. The federation didn't encourage that kind of pol- itical activity. He also presented a reso- lution to the board, passed by District 11 of the OSSTF at a meeting, March 5, which Obituary Director Lors Carlson Dies At Cedar Glen Clergy and friends from all around Metro and beyond attended the funeral service Monday in Richmond Hill United Church for Lors Wil- son Carlson, 63, of 318 Pali- ser Crescent South, Rich- mond Hill. Rev. Carlson, executive di- rector of the United Church‘s conference centre, nature school. camping and picnic facility at Cedar Glen near Bolton. died suddenly of a heart attack while attending a meeting of the Corporation for Cedar Glen at Cedar Glen on April 4. Born in Bristol, Quebec, January 3, 1911. son of A105 and Margaret Carlson, Rev. Carlson was a farmer, a con- struction worker and a miner at Noranda Mines while working his way through Queen's University in King- ston. His first posting with the United Church was as field secretary for Christian Edu- cation in the Montreal and Ottawa Conference. He later ministered to Olivet United Church in Hamilton, George Street United in Peterboro and Kingston Road United in East Toronto. Always a keen outdoors- man. interested in nature and camping. Rev. Carlson's responsibilities as field sec- retary and as pastor included supervision of church camps all over Ontario, and in his eulogy Rev. Dr. Robert Smith of Richmond Hill United recalled that Mr. Carlson had been camp lea- der when he attended Ryerâ€" son Beach Camp on Lake Erie as a camper. After recovering from a massive heart attack Rev. Carlson succeeded Rev. Al- bion Wright of Richmond Hill as executive director of Cedar Glen in the fall of 1968 and moved to Richmond Hill. Rev. Wright and Rev. John Hunter of Aurora Uni- ted Church assisted Rev. was in direct contrast to one passed by the same group. March 28, and which the board later in the meeting commended the OSSTF for approving. INSTRUCTIONAL DAYS Mr. Farquharson’s March 5 resolution, which was can- celled out by the subsequent resolution of March 28, call- ed for the non-instructional (professional development) days to be made the respon- sibility of the individual staffs, to be used in one of three ways: professional ac- tivity days as defined in the regulations, term - ending days, additional instructional days. The March 28 resolution, which was approved at the District 11 council meeting, called for the secondary teachers to forgo the prev- iously assigned professional development days for the remainder of the present school year and use them as instructional days. The board also commend- ed the group for another resolution passed at the same meeting, which called for it to join the school board staff “in a commit- ment to build the positive relationships within the York County Board of Education essential for an effective ed- ucational system for stud- ents and a satisfying work School Contest For YCH Stone environment." When the corner stone is laid for the new Langstaff Wing of York Central Hos- pital May 12 it will contain the literary contributions of a number of elementary school children from the southern area in York.

Rev. Carlson joined unob- trusively. but enthusiastical- ly. in all of Cedar Glen's ac- tivities. He was also an ardent curler in the Minis- lters' League, played golf. and was an active member of the Richmond Hill Natu- ralists. ‘ Judges for the competition are Pierre Berton of Klein- burg, Don Daynard of CFRB, H o .s p i ta 1 Administrator James Hepburn.

The 270 acres at Cedar Glen, its chalets, barns, ska- ting rinks, swimming pool, ski trails. served not only as facilities for meetings and outings for church groups, It also catered to week-long field trips from schools for miles around, for sleigh- rides, hayâ€"rides, cookouts and campouts, and attracted meetings of organizations such as the Vanier Institute For The Family for Canada Manpower and for organiza- tions from outside of Canada. In lumberjack shirt and slacks. with cheery smile and firm handshake, he was al- ways happy to welcome visi- tors to Cedar Glen. He was hospitalized last October with a second heart attack, but was back on the job in January. Interment took place at Maple United Church Ceme- tery with Rev.

York was chosen as the site of the seminar, says Mrs. Francis Redelmeier of the symphony committee, be- cause of the extraordinary response of secondary school students in York to concerts presented for students at Massey Hall in the past sea- son. Now 42, Amram of 'New York City has played with jazz bands and superb or- chestras, and in the 19505 and ‘605 wrote scores for numerous prominent films and television productions. In 1960 he was chosen as the first-ever composer-in-resi- dence with the New York Philharmonic. He has been guest conduc- tor of the Toronto Symphony On several occasions, but 'he is not tied into the symphony scene, In June of last year he was a hit at the River- boat Coffee House in Metro, playing until 2 am, th-en jam- BAIF Flood Hits Richvale Again I (Continue-d From Page 1) to clear the iron grating covering the new storm drain. But it was all in vain. They couldn't clear the de- bris from the grating enough to let the flood escape. Rain continued to pour down. Then a town backhoe was used to smash the grating for the second time in a month. Out went the water. RESIDENT GRATIFIED Resident Falconi was pleased with the town's speed in answering the call for \help this time. He was also happy the town engineer and mayor saw the situation for themselves this time. Mrs. Falconi is still wash- ing and drying her family wash at laundromats. The lfamily has been able to re- “It’s pretty hard to believe what goes on there in that little creek unless you see it flooding for yourself,” said Falconi. “The mayor was very helpful, but I don't think he can do very much. There is the same problem again further down the road in another spot. The town hasn’t accepted this work from BAIF yet. The residents haven't heard from BAIF yet about recovery of damag- es from March 4.” “BAIF promised us (the town) progress and good things. If this is what we get, I'd hate to see the se- cond stage (of the subdivi- sion) start. This time the town stopped the major part of it (the flood). But every- time they smash that grate it costs $1,000." BASEMENT FLOODED Falconi says there was six inches of water in his baseâ€" ment again. The flood was up to his basement wind- owsills but didn't come over them this time. A neighbor whose basement is about eight inches higher had his rugs, furniture and other he- olngings up on the beds and the water had just started to come in again. SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER This year’s dramatic presentation at Richmond Hill High School is Oliver Gold- smith’s classic, “She Stoops To Conquer”, as entertaining today as it was when it was written more than 200 years ago.

Am-ram sees no inconsis- tency in wearing jeans and plaid shirt one night and white tie and tails the next, according to the Toronto Star's records critic, William Littler. According to Mrs. Redel- meier Amram is interested in developing an audience for the future. “I find in the youth con- certs I conduct with the Brooklyn Philharmonic that it helps when I play guitar and sing first. After that, the kids don't seem so frightened by the idea of the orchestra." Amram told Littler. “Of course it's different in Canada. There is an aware- ness of music education here. I'll probably be doing a program with the Toronto Symphony in the schools this year."

Bayview's represen- tative is Susan Lamb, who. along with the school's Mu- sic Chairman Ray Barton. has helped to make arrange- ments at the school for the seminar. Bayview is offering all stu- dents the opportunity to at- tend the seminar.
