pasties militant OTTAWA (CP) — The devoted and unassuming rural postmaster, who as the sole federal representative in many communities provided services beyond the call of duty to neighbors, is becoming more militant.This is the message the leaders of the 8 000-member Canadian Postmasters' Association hope to bring home to the federal treasury board as they begin negotiations this week for a new-working contract.The old one expires Sept.30.For the first time since collective MONTREAL (CP) — About 100 stranded travellers camped Thursday outside the local offices of International Europa.a travel service, protesting a charter-flight snarl that has stranded more than 500 persons here and more in Europe The local protesters were among 257 members of the Association of European Families scheduled to leave Wednesday night for Geneva and 251 members of the Canada Club Yverdon who had expected to go to Zurich Thursday They claim they made their bookings through the travel service, or its associates, who were to arrange two charter flights through Balair.a Swiss based company Otto Gersback.managing director of the airline, said Thursday in an interview that he went to the travel service offices Tuesday night and seized tickets for the charter flights 24 hours before the first of them was to leave.He said that, although the airline had dealt with the travel service in the past without problems, no payment was bargaining was introduced into the public service in 1967.the union has opted for the conciliation-strike route instead of voluntary binding arbitration Under federal law.public service unions can choose either arbitration or conciliation and the right to strike in their attempts to reach contractors The change of heart among rural and small town postmasters was brought home earlier this year when 85 per cent of the membership voted for the conciliation route Union President D A Blackie says the members were tired of received for the latest two charter flights.A spokesman for the travel service, however, blamed the incident on Balair.which he said had been offered payment He refused to say if full payment had been offered He also said the passengers had paid an organization or organizations in Europe, and not Interservice Europa.for tickets.In Paris Thursday, about 150 Canadian tourists, many almost penniless, were in their second day of a sit-in at the travel service's offices there They were demanding flights home The Canadian ti*5-sport commission announced Thursday it is attempting to arrange return flights for charter air passengers stranded in Europe because of a dispute between the Swiss charter airline Balair and a Montreal based charter agency A spokesman for the commission said that efforts are being made to restore the original charter arrangements or find other return transportation seeing the wages of other postal workers draw awav from their own pav levels NEVER ON STRIKE.The 28.000 members of the Council of Postal Unions, who are at present also bargaining with the government, have twice used the strike — in 1968 and 1970 — as a weapon to force government to accept wages and working conditions more favorable to their members But the Canadian Postmasters' Association, which is more than 60 years older than the council, has never gone on strike.Although they do not like the idea of a strike, the leadership, taking their cue from demands from previously docile members, plan to follow a harder line in this round of negotiations The association members — more than half of whom are women work in 6.000 post offices across Canada in communities ranging in population from 100 to 5.000.and some unincorporated areas About 4 000 of the offices have one employee only.Wages paid depend upon length of service, volume of mail handled, and on community size Postmasters classified in 12 groups work without assistants and are paid between $1.000 to $5.000.while those in six ‘grades” — who work in larger offices with assistants receive between $6.200 and $9,093.after three years service.While those in the groups should not provide more than 40 hours service a week according to the collective agreement — and when feasible the tour of duty should be performed within 10 hours — the realities of rural living often make work within a set schedule impractical CAPTIVE TO TIME In many areas of Canada, such as the Peace River district in Alberta where Mr Blackie is from people drive 40 to 50 miles to pick up mail Then the postmaster has to open the office no mater what the time The government doesn t realize the captive time a postmaster has to put in.one union official said Travellers protest snarl BIRTHS & DEATHS 8 CLASSIFIED 6 COMICS 2-7 EDITORIAL 4 FINANCIAL 8 SPORTS 10 TV 7

Mr Beach explained, and I guess you might say I followed in her footsteps I graduated from Macdonald College in Montreal and took over the Agriculture Office in Lennoxville as county agriculturalist, in 1932.but it wasn t until 1944 when I built my home here that I had flowers M AKE THE MOST The Beachs do not hav** a huge amount of land around their home on Lome Street in Lennoxville but they make the most of what they’ve got In tront of the house a rock garden — a cascade of color — covers the bank by the door Behind the house is a vegetable garden and another large flower garden, with flowers of every color.Mr Beach admits that location is an important factor in successful gardening Nevertheless good soil is not just a matter of chance “Any soil will grow flowers if you make it.Mr Beach said We made all our soil You have to put humus in it.and proper fertilizer I use a fertilizer with a high nitrogen content ‘Tve also learned over the years that the time of planting is extremely important Some flowers, such as pansies have to be started the year ahead To illustrate his point, wooden boxes with tiny sprouts were lined up in the rock garden outside These were next year's plants which.Mr Beach .explained, would be transplanted to the soil before fall and weather the winter outside.In order for the flowers to be in perfect bloom by fair time next summer they need a head start I have to plant now in order to meet the classes at the exposition Mr Beach said I take the fair prize list and try to plant some of every class We have practically every type of flower growing in our garden SHAPE COLOR NI MBER You can tell a prize flower by the shape the color and the number of petals Mr Beach added leaning forward to the vase of roses on the table before him The flowers pink white red and yellow had just been cut and filled the room with their fragrance He took a particularly beautiful rose in his hand and squeezed it gently A lot depends on the firmness of a rose he continued Some roses collapse when you squeeze them A prize rose with enough petals is verv firm When you enter a flower in a competition vou try to cut it as soon before the judging time as possible he continued The morning and the evening are the best times to pick flowers because those are the times they contain the most moisture Then you keep it in water in a cool place until it s time to take it to the fair Over the vears Mr Beach has read a great deal about gardening Marling back in his Macdonald College days He considers the knowledge he gained through study to be as important as practical experience When 1 was at Macdonald 1 tvH'k a wonderful course in horticulture with professor Walker 1 guess vou might say SHERBROOKE EXPO WINNER Norman Beach of Lennoxville, looks over his rock garden His flowers placed well in the Floriculture show last week at the lair Record Photo F W est lev » Olson addresses Border farmers SHERBROOKE (WM) Five-year-old Stephen Foisy of 158 Lajoie Street in Sherbrooke, was severely burnt yesterday when his clothes caught fire after he and two other friends had been playing with a box of matches.The fire department and ambulance were called and the little boy was taken to the Hotel Dieu Hospital where he was treated for third degree burns on his hands, legs and body His mother said yesterday she did not know how long he would have to stay in hospital.Stephen and two friends were playing behind a golf club and somehow got hold of a box of matches The two other children were unhurt By IVY HATCH STANSTEAD - The Hon Horace.Bud Olson, minister of agriculture, and Hon Jean Luc Pepin, minister of industry, trade and commerce, both of the Federal Government were speakers at an assembly of farmers and businessmen from the Boundary vicinity on Wednesday evening at the Sacred Heart school auditorium in Stanstead Mr Olson spoke in English and this was translated and repeated in French by Mr Pepin Mr Olson said this is his third official visit to the Er s ern Townships and that the federal and provincial governments are aware of the adverse conditions in farming in sections of Quebec and Ontario due to the inclement weather He pointed out that dairy industry and marketing across Canada is better now than it has been for the past 20 or more years He said a program is planned to assist those farmers hit by the weather The program will not restore the farmers loss but no one will go out of business because of lack of feed and credit.He outlined the type, manner and instruction in co-operation with the governments of Quebec and Ontario to be able to give assistance to the farmers.He said this is not the first time in Canadian history such adveurity has occurred and we firmly believe it is the responsibility of the federal government to help regions having trouble MELBA APPLES Buy your apples directly from the grower.‘You can Pick the Apples Yourself if you wish’’ ¦rituoov % V' *
