Obituary JOHN P. "PAT" OLD ABOUT THIS QUESTION: "A farmer has his home, lur- nishmgs, and oersonal belongings, plus his barns, stored crops, machinery, livestock and poultry to insure. Does the Old, Murphy Old ftgency offer the Farmowner- Ranchowner Polity to cover- damage to all such property from fire, lightning, smoke, windstorm, hail or explosion?" For the Answer to Your Insurance Questions Consult OLD, MURPHY AGENCY DIAL 2-2203 cussion, it is union indicated that it might be willing to accept wage hikes as low as 25 cents an hour and 10'cents hourly health insurance benefits. Clark said that the company had suggested a lower figure and had also expressed a wish to extend the present union contract, scheduled to expire in August, to February, 1975. Jack Noblet, president of the company, stressed that aJl talks prior to the strike were informal.

"I wouldn't ever call them unofficial," he said. "The mediator simply told each side what the other might be willing to do under certain conditions. They carry no official weight whatsoever." Clark said that contract extension is not acceptable to union members at this time. He further charged that Burton L. Armstrong, major stockholder in the company, had not been in contact with the union so far during the dispute.

Armstrong, who lives in SauH, acquired the interests of two former stockholders in January, 1973. Clark described him as "the real owner of the company." According to Armstong's office in Sault, he has been out of town for almost two weeks. He is expected to return today. Nobiet said that the issue of Armstrong's non-communication was "immaterial. He owns several other companies in Canada and has more to worry about than Soo Hardwoods." Nobiet indicated that he had no idea how long the strike would continue or when negotiations would begin.

Also affected in (he strike, according to Clark, are the 20 or so employes of (he firm recently laid off due to shortage of hardwood material. The shortage was caused by the inability of the Sugar Island ferry to cross the St. Mary's River channel to Sugar Island. STOP FROZEN PIPES! I HEAT TAPES A FREE REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE!
