George Cowell, president of the board of directors of Crossroads Human Gro wth Community during Sunday press conference. Crossroads-ARF agreement could help drug program Work conditions are not mentioned in RC board offer By BILL TWADDLE A Windsor Separate School Board contract proposal to teachers lias carefully avoided any reference to negotiation of working conditions as part of the 1971-1972 salary package. The proposal, presented to the teachers Friday, deals only with tb2 wording the proposed contract. It contains no money offer. Tfce first negotiation meeting will be Wednesday at 7 p.m.

in the Separate School Board administration office. Teacher demands presented to the board a week and a half ago ask, among other things, a $500 increase in the minimum salary in each category on the salary scale, and that some conditions of work become negotiable items. The beard, in line with Ontario School Trustees' Council policy that working conditions are not negotiable, is apparently rejecting the possibility of including conditions of work in the contract. The board proposal makes no mention of a long-service bonus asked for by the teachers, but does make provision for a cost-of-living bonus something the teachers do not have. Cost-of-living bonus would apply only to second class and Category 1 teachers, and only on condition that the salary scale at those two levels remain unchanged next year.

The board would continue to pay two-thirds of fringe benefits unless changes in legislation allowed the board to pay more. The proposal limits the board's share to 75 per cent if legislation changes. Teachers asked the board to pay 100 per cent of fringe benefits to bring in line with separate school caretakers and maintenance men who received full payment of benefits in their latest ccrrgct. Sections in the board proposal dealing with salaries, annual increments paid for experience, and responsibility allowances for head teachers, vice-principals, and consultants are left blank. The board proposal does not define positions with the board, thusignoring the teachers' attempt to do away with head teachers, and to make the three principals responsible for more than one school supervisory principal.

Supervisory principals would, because of their increased responsibility, be paid more than principals of one school. The teacher demands also attempt to make head teachers the teachers in charge of a school which has a supervisory principal vice-print ipals, giving them higher pay than the allowance for head teacl Conditions of work being asked by the teachers are: maximum class size of 20 students; full-time administration duties for principals; no more than half-time teaching duties for vice-principals; no lunch-room or schcol-yard supervision duties for teachers, and dismissal of classes if a teacher is absent and no substitute is available. The last condition is an attempt to force the board to ensure that enough substitute teachers are available. Under present conditions, other classroom teachers are expected to take care of the students left without a teacher if a substitute is not available. In reply, the board proposal says a fully qualified nurse will undertake supervision of teacher absenteeism due to illness in an attempt to avoid abuse of the 20 sick days a year allowed teachers.

WUC meets Tuesday to hammer out budget The Windsor Utilities Commission will meet at 4 p.m. Tuesday to thrash out its 1971 budget in both the hydro and water divisions. Chairman Archie Green said today he is hopeful budgets for both divisions will be completed at Tuesday's session. Mr. Green said that last year it was necessary to issue debentures to cover expenses in the hydro division, but he expects this will not be necessary this year.

He said the big thing will be to find enough money to cover an approximate seven per cent increase in the cost of power from Ontario Hydro. Mr. Green said the budget for the water division allows for new growth. However, he warned that at the end of this year the commission may have to take a "hard look" at Windsor's water rates. March 15 to be date of city budget airing Windsor's 1971 budget will be presented at the March 15 meeting of City Council, Mayor Frank Wansbrough said today.

The budgii estimates are now under review by City Manager Johr. Steel and Finance Commissioner E. A. Agnew. Council is expected to hold at least three special meetings before setting the 1971 mill rzte for property tax purposes.

Mayor Wansbrough said the first special session of council will likely be March 20. By the time the budget reaches council, the estimates, originally compiled by department heads will have been trimmed substantially by the city manager and finance commissioner. "Unless there are specifics in the budget that council can involve itself with, the estimates do not leave much to the imagination," Mayor Wansbrough said. The departmental estimates for 1971 were completed about 10 days ago. Riverside students ivin The funeral of Hewitt Pinfold, president of Howitt Battery and Electric Service Co.

Ltd. and a prominent figure in area sports, will be held Tuesday. The body will be at the Anderson Funeral Home, 895 Ouellette. until 9 a.m. Tuesday, then to the Church of Ascension where funeral services will be held at 2 p.m.

with Rev. Canon Ronald Mathewman officiating. Burial will be in Green Lawn Memorial Cemetery. Mr. Pinfold, who died Saturday, was born Feb.

28, 1911, in Windsor. Educated in Windsor, Mr. Pinfold joined the firm in 1928. In 1950 he purchased the company from his uncle, Richard L. Howitt, and became its president, a position he held until his death.

Mr. Pinfold, an executive of the Canadian Automotive Electric Association was active in the Garage Operators' Association of Essex County. He was aiso active in the Lions Club of Windsor and the Cherry Hill Hunt Club. Mr. Pinfold was a member of the Church of the Ascension, a charter member of the Windsor Curling Club, and a member of Beach Grove Golf and Country Club.

He was instrumental in the formation of the Windsor Bulldogs of the old Ontario Senior A Hockey League. Mr. Pinfold is. survived by his wife, Grace, a son, Tom, and a daughter, Helen Sue. Four sisters survive him.

They are: Mrs. Helen Burns, of St. Petersburg, Florida; Mrs. Jean Furlong, of Dunn-ville, Mrs. Virginia Haggarty, of Brantford, Ont; and Mrs.

Lois Konrad, also of Brantford, Ont. Two grandchildren, Kirsten and Kyran, also survive. The family has requested that donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetic Association or the Lions Club of Windsor, in lieu of flowers. idea emerges A food study committee wag formed, and the idea of a Windsor food co-op emerged "following a meeting of Pollution Probe Windsor and District, in which experts warned of dangers in food additives and contaminants. More than 80 people attend-ded the Sunday night meeting in Assumption Lounge at the University of Windsor.

After hearing a four-man panel discussion, chaired by John Byrne, a department of lands and forests biologist, Pollution Probe members responded to a suggestion by Helen Raby, a new member, that a food study group be formed. The group will assemble available information and build up a body of knowledge on additives and contaminants so a basis for action can be established. The food co-op would try to obtain the most unadulterated food available for members and encourage merchants to stock such foods. James Komlande, a Ph.D. in the nutrition unit at the Department of Health Development, School of Public Health, University of Michigan, warned that any attempt to ban all food additives would "get nowhere" as too much mdney is involved.

"You can't deal in generalities find out which additives are the most harmful and then deal with the most critical areas first," he suggested. Dr. Komlande said new additives undergo costly testing before going on the market. "Some things which are taken for granted have a potential health hazard," said Dr. Komlande.

He referred to extensively used bi-sulphides. Dr. Komlande said he's concerned about additives which have long been listed as safe and which can't be arbitrarily banned. "We're blindly using a lot of these compounds," warned Dr. Komlande.

He said money is needed to permit "immediate evaluation" of items on the market a long time. James Jubenville, director, Registered Seed Growers of Ontario, and past national director of the Seed Growers Association of Canada, called for an independent fact-finding body to let people know, in layman's term "where we're heading." Mr. Jubenville said he's "terribly concerned and frightened" about the "noxious overloads" being placed in foods. To emphasize his stand he read a lengthy list of pesticides which can be found in apple pie. Mr.

Jubenville warned that many important items are removed from foods and replaced with additives which are, "not at all good for us." "The nature of interaction of various' substances remains the greatest mystery-" said Mr. Jubenville. He called for the labelling of all products sold. Mr. Jubenville agreed much greater use of "nature's policemen" birds and other organic controls must be made by farmers in the future, with chemical restricted to emergency situations.

"We've got a hang-up on appearance," said Mr. Jubenville. He referred to pesticides and additives used in food products. He told the group some housewives in England are now seeking out worm-ridden apples. They reason that if the worm can live the concentration of insecticide can't be too bad.

Crossroads Human Growth Community and the Addiction Research Foundation have reached agreement on a formula of change which should mean ARF approval for grants to the drug rehabilitation program. The announcement was made Sunday at a press conference following a Saturday meeting between ARF and Crossroads officials to resolve their differences. Friday the ARF released a critical report on the Crossroads operation, recommending provincial and federal grants be withheld until the drug rehabilitation program is revamped and made more professional. a y's announcement, made jointly by Judge Ian Johnston, chairman of the ARF's St. Clair Region board of directors, and Dr.

George Crowell, president of Crossroad's board of directors, said: "Major differences, including a lack of communication that existed between Crossroads and the Addication Research Foundation have been resolved as a result of a meeting with the boards of directors of both organizations." The statement said six basic recommendations made by the ARF had been accepted and would be implemented by Crossroads. Judge Johnston said implementation of the ARF. proposals will put his organization in a position to recommend government grants for Crossroads. The recommendation concerned establishment of a professional advisory committee and a clarification of Crossroads' finances; program operation at the farm and at the downtown drop-in centre; board membership, and public relations. Most of the recommendations are already being implemented by the Crossroads board of directors, the statement said.

Dr. Raymond Daly, vice-president in charge of program, is already establishing an advisory committee with representation from the fields of psychiatry, psychology, social work and rehabilitation. The committee will be responsible for reviewing and defining Crossroads goals of admission, treatment and follow-up, and reviewing all proposed programs to ensure they meet the standards of the involved professions. It will also be expected to develop programs to involve other social agencies in the community. Crossroads has been asked to submit an audited statement of income and expenditures to I)c.

31, 1970. Crossroads has a total deficit of $57,500 $18,000 for program operation, $18,000 for construction material used to provide facilities on the farm, and $21,500 borrowed as a down payment for the farm. Dr. Crowell said an interim financial statement has been completed and turned over to an accounting firm for auditing. Crossroads will be expected to give the ARF separate budgets for the communal farm program and for the downtown drop-in centre, and to separate the operating budgets from the capital expenditure budgets for each.

The budgets will become the basis for a request for gover nm grants. Dr. Crowell said he didn't expect any significant change in Crossroads' original $180,000 request. No more young people will be taken into the farm until the review and definition of the program is complete. Judge Johnston said this is one of the "key" recommendations and until there is greater control over the people becoming involved in the program there can be no favorable recommendation on grants.

The farm will be expected to have written parental consent before attempting to treat anyone under 16, and to phase out involvement with young people who have little or no contact with drugs. The ARF recommended a review of the drop-in centre program as it applies to the total Crossroads' program. It also suggested that the drop-in centre program be curtailed, "particularly in areas requiring the expenditure of funds" until the review is complete. Dr. Crowell said the drop-in program has already been "largely" curtailed and there will be no further curtailment.

The ARF agreed. It was also recommended that membership on the Crossroads board of directors be broadened to include legal representation and people from agencies being asked for financial support. This is already being worked on, the statement said. Crossroads has already complied with the ARF's final recommendation that a public relations program be established. At the press conference, Judge Johnston and Dr.

Crowell expressed optimism for the future relationship between Crossroads and the ARF. Judge Johnston said a series of meetings has been scheduled to continue cooperation between the two organizations. A recent investigation by the city's building department revealed that 27 signs between Elliott Street and Tecumseh Road on Ouellette Avenue were located on city property. The building department has recommended that 13 of these signs be removed. Council was scheduled to deal with the issue tonight but it will be deferred because two aldermen will not be present.

Aid. Elizabeth Kishkon is in Toronto to support a Windsor resolution calling for the Ontario Department of Highways to provide a 50-per-cent subsidy on street lighting installed on arterial roads. The resolution will be aired at today's opening session of the Ontario Good Roads convention. Aid. Anthony Soda will be absent tonight because, he is out of the city on vacation.

The sign issue was deferred last week when Leon Paroian, solicitor for Union Gas Company, was unable to attend the meeting. This is one of the firms which would be affected if council supports the building department's recommendation to have 13 of the signs removed. 401 crash takes life of student A University of Windsor student. James Michael Howley, 20, was killed in an aefcident on Highway 401, near Belleville, Friday. Mr.

Howley's parents are former Windsor residents, but now live in Toronto. He was a third-year honors economics student at the U. of W. and a volunteer adviser for Junior Achievement in Windsor. A spokesman for the Belleville detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police said Mr.

Howley was hitch-hiking with a friend on Highway 401 near the Highway 37 exit ramp when the accident occurred. The police spokesman said Mr. Howley died at Belleville General Hospital. Police said the accident involved the car that stopped for the pair, a five-ton van and a transport truck. Police said the car that stopped for the hitch-hikers left the scene of the accident and the investigation is continuing.

According to police Mr. Howley was only partially in the car when the crash occurred. Long arm of the law drops case The law has a long memory but it can forgive and forget, as Robert Willsie, 41, no fixed address, found out in provincial court this morning. Mr. Willsie was arrested Saturday on a warrant issued in 1954 when he failed to appear in court on a charge of leaving the scene of an accident.

Today the Crown complimented police for finding the accused, but withdrew the charge for lack of evidence. Assistant Crown Attorney John Dietrich said a 17-year-old charge was "pretty hard to prove." UAW workers locked out Hearing set into closing of bakery A hearing is to be held in Amherstburg Friday into the closing, of the Amherstburg plant of General Bakeries Ltd. next March which is expected to result in the laying off of about 80 employees. Gerry Foley, business agent for Local 880, Teamsters union, which represents the workers, said the hearing was ordered by the consultative services branch of the Department of Manpower which is concerned with plant closing and resulting layoffs. Friday's meeting, to be held at the plant at 1 p.m., will be between management, the union and Leonard Sharp, a Manpower department investigator.

General Bakeries announced its intention to close the plant effective March 12 because it had become economically not feasible to operate it, a spokesman for the company said. The area serviced from the Amherstburg bakery will be serviced from London. Huron Steel Co. has locked out 22 hourly-rated employees from its Prince Road plant in a dispute with Local 195, United Auto Workers union, over terms for a new collective agreement. The employees, 16 of whom are in the bargaining unit, arrived for work as usual Feb.

16 and found the gates locked. A sign said the plant was closed. D. D. Mclntyre, general manager of the plant, said the company had locked out the workers without notice "because we are not in agreement with the union over contract Issues over which no agreement could be reached include wages, vacations and a company demand that it should make no payment of hospital and medical insurance benefits when employees are sick.

Robert St. Pierre, president of the local, said rates in the old agreement were $2.89 an hour when it expired. Mr. St. Pierre said the company did not notify the union of its intention to lockout its employees, a move to which it has been legally entitled since Feb.

Her prize-winning catch in the Stoney Point Sportsmen's Club's annual fishing derby Saturday was a three-quarter-ounce perch. She won a "booby prize." But sons Charles, 12, and Jean-Paul, 9, were a bit luckier.

Charles' four-pound pickerel won the prize for the largest in the boys' division and Jean-Paul's one pound perch earned him the prize for the largest in his division. the derby, which weighed in at seven pounds. Prize for the largest perch one-pound-six-ounces went to Francis Robert of Stoney Point, while the "booby prize" for the smallest pickerel went to Bob Seguin of Tecumseh. His prize-winning catch weighed one and a half ounces. Despite the catch-but-don't-eat law on fish taken from Lake St.

Clair because of mercury pollution, young Charles Lanoue, when questioned, honestly admitted his plans for the fish he caught. "Eat he said. About 200 persons, many of children, took part in the derby on the slushy ice of Lake St. Clair. The derby began at 7 a.m.

and ended about 12 hours later. Thirteen prizes were awarded. The husband-wife team of Al and Bev Desjardins of St Clair Beach took first and second prizes, respectively, for the largest pickerels caught during the day. Al said he caught his eight-pound-two-ounce fish about mid-afte rnoon.

They will compete in the zone finals covering Essex, Kent, Lambton, Elgin, Huron and Middlesex Counties in Glencoe Feb. 27. Achievement president Don Blight, "but we are meeting with extremely favorable1 response and so far run into any hard-luck stories." Part of the money sought this year will go to cover a deficit of $4,000 from the 1970-71 budget, despite a successful fund drive in 1970. Three Essex County students will go to the zone speaking contest sponsored by Ontario Winners of the three categories in the county finals were: John Deneau, St. Theresa Separate School, Maiden Township in the elementary competition; Delores Junior Achievement of Windsor has raised 18 per cent of its target of $37,000 in first week of the annual fund drive.
