According to Marie Clubine, chief negotiator for the 267 secretaries, her group asked for a 6.8 per cent increase excluding increments, at the first meeting with the board. The 1,270 elementary teachers are at present negotiating their contracts, with the question of increments being the main issue. The teachers want them excluded from the wage percentage increase, while the board would like to see them out. The Anti-Inflation Board has decided they can be handled ei_the1j way. T'he secretaries are also basihg their dispute 9n the incremengissues. However, the board offered only six per cent, including increments, she said. In moving the date of the present contract forward, the secretarial group said that, if the board reached an agreement with either of the teacher groups prior to Nov. 30, and excluded increments, then negotiations would be reâ€"opened, with the understanding that increments would also be excluded for CUPE members. Salaries for York secretaries range from $136 to $160 a week. However, if the board and the teachers agree to have the increments left in, then Local 1734 of CUPE will follow suit. According to a release from the board, it has agreed to adjust individual salaries by the amount of any in- crement up to May 31 of this year, “as soon as practical”; If negotiations between the teachers and the board are not concluded by Nov. 30, the union has stated it could “pursue its rights under the Labor Relations Act.” summer, Isolda Clark of the Richmond Hill Parks and Recreation Department said.

PivniEKUof Thomhill said in an interview his cause for heading to the States is the Canadian Government. “They are artificially keeping our wages low; our wages do not go up as inflation goes up,” said Dr. Pivnick. Much frustration is being felt in the medical industry, he said, and he thinks there will be many more doctors following the trend of setting up practices in the States. p Boadway agrees the profession hasn’t seen the end of the exodus. 7"“It‘s going to ‘accelerate, not decelerate,” he said. 7 _ Pivnick agreed there is more money in the States, "but even more importantly, there is less government interference”. 7‘Here the government even prints out the lab slips which we are supposed to use," he said. On Lake Wilcox A resolution to limit the speed of motor boats to six miles per hour on Lake Wilcox has been termed “ridiculous'r’ by several lake residents. Richmond Hill Council recently passed the motion which requires Ministry of Natural Resources and Department of Transport approval. 7 {her resolution ekcepté' aircraft opergtiqg.__ on Lake Wilcox residents generally felt the six-mile speed limit is too slow, and such a limit eliminates any water skiing on the lake. Many felt a 25-mile-per-hour limit would be more reasonable. The Ministry of Natural Resources agreed with the town that an area of water, known as Sunset Beach, be off limits to boats. That resolution has been passed on to the Department of Transport for approval. People living away from the shores of Lake Wilcox find that the beach issue is their only concern, but they suggest the available on a monthly rental basis, she said. Included in the addition will be a limited number of bachelor-type suites available on a monthly rental basis, she said. inlncluded in the rental cost is a 2+hour answering service, free local calling, free parking and daily maid service. “We believe there is a need for this Boat speed limit too slow, residents say By MILLIE STEWART Architect’s concept of the proposed addition to the Black Hawk Motor Inn on Yonge Street, Richmond Hill. shows the four floors added to the existing three-storey structure.

Mr. Barrow said although only a few poeple attended Monday's meeting, several more had been in touch by telephone offering to assist. The committee has scheduled Monday, September 19, as the date for its next meeting. From then to parade date, the committee expects to meet every week. The $40,000 to $50,000 a year salary is reasonable considering the training a doctor has to go through, he said, and he believes doctors are worth more than a plumber or air-controller. “In 1970â€"71, doctors voluntarily restricted their wage like nice guys, but later when inflation rose 12 per cent, our wages increased by only six per cent," he said. “To make the same amount of money, we must work harder and see more people." It is not difficult to get a working license in some States, and in some areas, there is a demand for medical doctors. Canadian business is fine, but the government interference is going to be too frustrating by a lot of doctors, he said. Meanwhile, at York County Hospital in Newmarket, Al Roeder, hospital administrator. said he has found discontent among several doctors across the country. He said doctors appear to be leaving for economical and sociological reasons. The attitude of the press and government seems to be to “malign the doctors“ he said.

Richmond Hill council asked the province to move the line farther north because of the spectacle four towers of hydro lines would make at the southern entrance to the Hill. The official comment of the ministry of treasury, economics and govern- mental affairs is that “the government has accepted the general location and is now proceeding to determine the detailed location east of Woodbridge. The urgency of determining the detailed location is very great because of the necessity of connecting the power type of accommodation in Richmond Hill,“ she said.
