Homemade Towboat Launched PV Board, Teachers Work On Pact By JOHN CARSTARPHEN Tlie Pleasant Valley Board of Education and the Pleasant Vallev Education Association (PVEA) Wednesday night worked their way through six points of a 16-point proposal presented by the teachers for the 1968-69 school year. The PVEA is asking an eight-day reduction in the school calendar, from 200 to 192 contract days, re-arrangement of "in service" days and that the school year begin Aug.

26, and end June 4. Thomas Doering, PVEA spokesman, said the change at the end of the year is so "teachers can get back to summer school." He said that there have been conflicts between starting dates of university summer classes for teachers wishing to up-grade their education, and the last day of school year. Ray Kimble, a board member picked to negotiate with the PVEA, insisted on a inonth-by-month, change-by-change explanation of the proposed school calendar. The explalnations took more than one hour of the three-hour session. Almost 1V hours were taken up in discussion of the number of hours spent by teachers in assignments other than teaching, such as class or club sponsorship, drama, speech, and others.

Although (he subject was thoroughly covered during last week meeting, apparently no one on the board's committee thought to write down the number of hours involved. This is the first year that there have been formal negotiations between the Pleasant Valley board and teachers. A negotiation policy was agreed upon only last year. With only four more scheduled meetings before deadline for teacher contra to be signed and returned to the board for the 1968-69 school year, only 12 of the 16 points have been mentioned. During the remainder of the Wednesday meeting, the PVEA explained what it meant by balanced workloads.

Other points discussed included: Compensation (o be paid school nurses. Contract specification of classes to be taught by high school and junior high school teachers rather than general area, and the specific grade level to be taught by elementary school teachers. Removal of age limits on The Buena Vista Bridge, east of Dixon, Iowa, long a thorn in the side of Scott County supervisors, presented more problems Wednesday.

But Capt.

Loren A. Williams and his crew eased a new 311-ton tow named "The Wren" from the barge into the river Wednesday afternoon. Placed Gently Williams and his eight-man crew, including three of his sons, began the tow building project about three months ago in a roofed-in old cargo barge at Davenport's Lindsav Park Boat Chili. The barge, containing the by Hi foot wide tow, was pushed to the Quad-City Marine Co. landing by the Jay-hawk, piloted by Williams The giant crane at the Marine landing, after considerable preparation, gingerly lifted the bright blue and brown tow and placed it gently in the water.

Chester Hale, Rock Island, a leader in the Rock Island County Interracial Council, said he believes Negroes have not tried the "democratic processes" and should use violence "only as a last resort for the oppressed." Relations Forum Hale and Knapp spoke at a human relations forum sponsored by the Speakers Bureau on Human Relations and the Davenport Catholic Interracial Council (CIC). Knapp said violence can be credited for improvements in the ghettos of Los Angeles and Newark, lie said the rioting helped call attention to the problems of the ghetto. Hale agreed that the violence calied attention to the problems of the ghetto but said that is all riots accomplish. "Thev solved no problems." he added. 'Vote and Dollar' Hale said the Negro can use the "vote and the dollar" to pressure the power structure into eradicating the ills of the ghetto.

He said the Negro needs "new leadership which will give the people something constructive to work on." Asked what must be accomplished in Davenport to discourage violence, Knapp replied, "Everything." His list included adoption of a fair housing ordinance, upgrading of employment available to the Negro, elimination of "de facto" school segregation, enforcement of housing codes, elimination of absentee landlords from the ghetto, reduction in ghetto rents and improvement sanitation service.

Blake arrived Tuesday at the invitation of the Calvinist Church. I hi 'A pense to Scott County, said Everett Howard, board chairman, Wednesday. The old bridge was the subject of many long discussions before the board of supervisors for the last two years as residents of the Dixon-Buena Vista area fought for its life.

The bridge was judged outdated in 1964 and was replaced by a new span near Donahue, built by Scott County in cooperation with Clinton County and the Iowa Highway Commission (IHC). The span was declared unsafe for traffic in 1966 and closed while plans were made for its removal. Residents of the area once serviced by the bridge now are forced to nearly double their journey to Davenport by using the new span near Donahue. Dixon Telephone Co. officials said the old bridge knocked out telephone service in Dixon when it plunged inlo the deep water.

The telephone company reported delays in repairing the line due to the 14-mile roundabout trip to reach the far side of the Wapsi River. It was not determined how many customers were affected by the downed lines.

The proposal had been suggested by North Scott teachers to alleviate the Jong school day for elementary students who arrive at school at 8 a.m. and leave at 4:20 p.m. Supt. Melvin Hieler estimated that the increased cost of running seperate bus routes, would range "from $22,700 to $27,270 more per year. It was estimated the in- 1 i icase wuuia range irom zju to 280 miles per day.

Scott Pay Plan Called Too Costly The Scott County Board of Supervisors agreed Wednesday that salary proposals in a county wage survey are too expensive. The survey was prepared by J.

L. Jacobs a Chicago consulting firm. The board discussed an alternative pay plan, which would bring salaries for county employes up to the maximum recommended by the Jacobs' survey during the next three years. Supervisors ordered preparation of a new county employe list showing job classifications as established by the survey. After the job lists are prepared, the supervisors will decide whether county departmental budgets approved for this year include funds for increases, or a portion of the increases recommended by the survey.
