OHS tag day September 30 in the Hill Ontario Humane Society received per- mission last Tuesday to tag for donations in Rich- mond Hill September 30 from 9 am. until 4 pm. John Tattersall from the York County Board of the Humane Society was questioned by council members about the relationship between Ryan Animal Control Service and OHS. Council did not wish to let the society canvass for funds if it performed the same functions as Mr. Ryan, who does not solicit for funds. Mr. Tattersall advised council the main purpose of the society is to control cruelty to animals. He explained that in some municipalities OHS raises funds by acting as an animal control service or “dog catcher". such as Mr. Ryan, but not in Richmond Hill. “We have no intention to displace Mr. Ryan," said Mr. Tattersall. Curtain Club seeks talent The money donated will be used to keep in- vestigators in the field and help to pay to keep the shelters open throughout Ontario. Anyone interested in participating in Rich- mond Hill Curtain Club‘s new production “Breath of Spring” should go to the theatre on Newkirk and Elgin Mills Roads Sunday. August 20 at 2 pm. for a script reading. The play has a cast of seven middle age or “mature" persons. Director of the play will be Gerry Crack. A portable classroom at Don Head Secondary School was the subject of some unanswerable questions in the dying minutes of last Tuesday night's town council meeting. Knowing that all per- manent structures in the town require a building permit, councillors Marylo Graham and Lou Wainwright asked the mayor if the Board of Education is subject to site plan agreements and bylaws of protables. He didn‘t know off hand. Mr. Wainwright also objected to the building‘s presence because it is so close to Major Mackenzie Drive and doesn't fit in with the style of struc- tures (York Central Hospital. new Fire Department and York Regional Police station) already there. “Mabkenzie is kind of a prestige street and what Aurora would like to welcome ELDA HARDMAN D.C. who has opened her practise the E.

"We haven't received any direction on . the matter from the clerk's office but when we do, a building inspector will go out and check the site to make sure it conforms to building bylaws and the site plan." Works Commissioner Bernie Toporowski said the building department will have to determine whether the structure is a permanent one or not.

Mr. Turko and the other secondary level master teachers were per- manently re-assigned to the classroom by the board last year. “I think a basic in- justice has been per- petrated in this case," said Alf Stong, Liberal MLA for York Centre. “Bill 100 (the legislation that brought teachers back to work after a strike in 1974, and doesn't allow teachers to ar- bitrate unless they’re backed by their federation) has always been a problem since it was passed.” Back in 1972, Richmond Hill had a Queen of the Fair at the CNE when Debbie Carter was successful.

Though teachers don't get back to the classroom until next month. master teachers have been busy sending letters to the Minister of Education and provincial education critics to seek support and possible redress for an arbitration hearing they lost last May. An independent hearing between the York County Board and moderns teacher Joe Turko (whose case was used as a test) declared the teachers had no status and thus could not arbitrate. The grievance developed when the teachers felt they were removed from positions of responsibility without just cause, contrary to the Collective Agreement. Article 8:02 of the agreement also states master teachers are to having teaching duties in the classroom and con- sulting duties for professional development purposes. _ Mrl Slong said the Ontario Labor Relations Act, which also excludes teachers from individual collective bargaining processes, is unfair and should be reviewed. The problem with such major changes in provincial legislation, is that they would have to be applicable and beneficial to all teachers in Ontario, not just York County master teachers. “Even if we have to come up with a private member’s bill when we reconvene, it's possible we can infroduce legislation thatlwill not (”SHOP 10' SAVE AT HfiWfiffi For ALL Occasions 884-1812 Phone 889-1812 Rice's Flowers Jun luunuung Districts ALL MMORCREDIT CARDS HONORED RICHMOND HEIGHTS CENTRE ALLEBCOURT HAZA - BAYVIEW it MABKHAM Wired An'ywhere '\ APPLE JUICE AVAILABli ONLY AT ALLENCOURT @ Bayview 8 Maddam Rd., Richmond Hill WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT QUANTITIES. { PAPER TOWELS RED ROSE ORANGE PEKOE TEA BAGS IGA LACHINE CAKE MIXES PEAS DUNCAN HINES ROSE OR BICK'S ASSORTED RELISH Surrounding We Deliver to Toronto SPECIALS EFFECTIVE TIL SATURDAY.

The resolution listed the advantages of refillable bottles including the net increase in jobs, the conservation of energy and materials and the fact that solid waste and litter would be reduced. Councillors all agreed with these advantages but Councillor Lou Wainwright mentioned his one concern was if all soft drinks were sold in refillable containers only, there would be a possible increase in cost. A motion was passed to support the municipality of Waterloo. 559 19¢) 499 699 'two replies that indicate an interest in his position. “Right now, the board is in a very good position and it’s unfortunate the teachers aren't getting any support,“ he said. Mr. Stong is unsure that board members should haVe any input into any proposed legislation changes for the vital issues raised by the ar- bitration hearing. He feels in this case. their interests are separate from the teachers. The chairman_ of the York Board has not yet answered his letter.
