Arguments of Nelsbn District 2 years , I Teachers' Association in its. salary dispute with the Board of Trustees of Nelson District School Board No. 7 went before an arbitration board ta Nelsqn Tuesday. '• The sitting continues Wednesday Whe^iheSchobl Board's case will be presented. The Arbitration Board's decision will affect about 80 teachers In the District, and School Beard estimates for 1949.- If Is the first time that arblratlon hat been retorted to In the history ot negotiations between the teachers and School Board. The teachers are asking for a raise of $58,412 Over the present payroll of $188,090, or an increase of 29,85 per Cent or $700 per teacher per annum. The, School Board has offered an aggregate amount bf $23,700, or an increase of $300 per annum per teacher: The over-all adjustment of the teachers' salaries is asked primarily to compensate for the decrease In dollar values since January, 1947. Chairman at the Arbitration Board is Alton R. Dahlstrom,*Trail lawyer, and his arbiters are Jordan Guy, Vancouver lawyer, and David Chapman of Kelowna. ; : , , -' , T. B. rt Ellis of Vancouver is representing the Board ot Trustees of Nelson School District No. 7, and Stanley.Evans ot Vancouver, tbe Nelson District Teachers' Association. ■,- : . Others listening in included N. S. Macleod, Secretary-Treasurer to the School Board, several Trustees including Chairman Dr. C. E. Bradshaw, and F. -. Parsons of the teachers' body. It was the purpose of the teachers to arbitrate the present salary schedule, but Mr. Bills stated thai toe School Board was not prepared to arbitrate the schedule, but rather salaries, for, 1949, "notwithstanding that toe teachers are bound by the present contract which became ef- feotlveln January, 1847, and have no right to arbitrate,this year." ". ' As there must be agreement between teachers and school board before there can be arbitration ori a salary schedule, correspondence was gone Into by toe arbitration board and evidence.given. Majority decision of the arbitration board wat that It did not have "Jurisdiction to- arbitrate salary schedule because there'wat no written agreement between the teachers, and School Board on the fixing by , p*rbitr«tlon of salary schedule. ■ Mr. Guy dissented on the opinion that the effect of correspondence between the two factions Was based-) ori negotiations then In progress which failed, that the letters, as explained by resolutions, constituted an agreement to subriiit to arbitration a salary schedule.

The same is proposed for secondary school principals, only $300 is asked as an administrative allowance. Adjustments are also asked for vice-principals and principals of schools with less than five rooms. As pertinent facts in answering the question of what constituted a fair salary for a teacher, the brief stressed the following: , Tbe general-public agrees that the teachers' salaries are low; toe law of supply arid demand has been applied to toe number ot teachers available and to current salary trends, and toe results are teacher shortages. and. .lowered qualifications; the problem applied locally shows toe grave danger of the Nelson District losing to more favored districts; the teacher believes that his services merit a fair standard ot living; programs of improving teacher, training are hampered by existing salaries', dollar values are pertinent, and general wage levels have direct bearing on what con stituto feir salaries for teachers. INDEX NOT COMPLETE MEASURE :.'..- .Teachers salaries have increased, but are paid with inflationary 1949 dollars, it was' emphasized. "To measure toe extent of this inflationary quality in our 1949 dollars, we turn to toe Dominion Bureau, of Statistics cost-of-living index as our yardstick,' , ' - "This Association is riot requesting a cost-of-living bonus. We hold the .view, that such adjustment may. only compensate for the' higher prices which we pay for those articles selected for statistical purposes." A cost-of-living bonus did not maintain the consumer's salary level ori toe former bosis, the brief contended, in view of such extras as added transportation costs, taxes and so ph. "The rise in the cost-of-living index is reflected and often magnified to every use to Which the dollars of 1949 are put. In hbw many instances, today can we purchase with $1.89 what $1 would have bought 10 years ago?" As well as a cost-bf-Hying bonus, an over-all percentage inerbose bsd been studied and found unacceptable as other possible ways of bringing the 19,47 schedule up tb date, toe brief added. The minimum Scale ot the British Columbia Teachers' Federation was listed as one source of structure for the scale proposed.- .

Benefits paid to Sun Life policyholders during the year exceeded $105,000,000. At the 78th Annual Meeting, Arthur B. Wood, President, described life insurance at essentially an institution of the average citizen, built up by toe small savings of millions of people; an organization un- versally accepted because it serves a public need. The highest form of social security," he declared, "can never be a Government Sponsored scheme. U must conform to the will of the people and be tailored to meet their varying needs. Life insurance conforms to the rcquir- ments of average citizen* familiar with their own problems and able to determine for < themselves the steps, necessary to meet them. Furthermore, it is bought in an open and highly competitive market - "On toe North' American continent, over 80,000,000 people have: voluntarily obtained life insurance, have .voluntarily planned lt according to their heeds, and have voluntarily selected the. Institution they desire to carry out their plans.

Mr. Wodd taid that the new Insurances written by the Sun Life for 'the. year amounted to $374,652,- 000.

It doesn't make* sense on the basis of pur. history, which was made by people of all ireligions^all colors, from all over the world. Most important of all, intolerance and discrimination are a- fearful wasje of energy, manpower arid achievement, especially at this^cruclal time,. ,-.• During ^hls Canadian Brotherhood . Week, there is,one point which should be made clear. In our own interest and for our children's sake, let's avoid careless generalizations about human beings. Let's judge every.person we.meet by his actions alone, and treat Win accordingly.-That, in essence, is what brotherhood means. It's Canadianism. And it pays big dividends. ■ Lobkiiv^ Backwards : 10YIAR8 AGO '"':' Prom The Dally News oi" Feb. 9, 1939 Young Tories'defeated Buddies 38-28 in a game'of the Ladies' Basketball League at the Memorial Hall in Trail.

By ROBERT QUILLEN Gray (reek Group GRAY CR__K,;.B.C„ Feb. 8 - A social evening in Gray Creek Hall, sponsored by the Porcupine Club drew a full local attendance. The feature of the evening was la talk on Credit Unions given by C. C. Feenie of Gray Creek. Mrs.. Lymbery, President of the Club, introduced the speaker. Mr. Feenie began by tracing the origin of the Credit Unions: now working in Canada and the United States...The first Credit. Union was. started by tha mayor of a German Industrie! town in 1858. He saw that the town workers were, in the hands at the moneylenders and' thought up a system which Induced them to save in small amounts and borrow from the central fund in times ot sickness and emergency. This was eminently successful and Alphorise Despardins seeing its workings studied ihe scheme and brought it to Quebec. With suitable local changes, it proved most workable in the Quebec rural communities, but ''the ideal place tb start such a Union is in a factory where' there is a regular paycheck," said Mr. Feenie, "and where the Credit Union members are.welt known to the directors especially to the thre 'Credit, directors who pass on loans." " . . ' He then described the start of such a Union. Each member bought a five-dollar share, either outright or by payments as low aS twenty- five cents a time. The case of a man putting in for a loan of perhaps, seventy dollars for fertilizer, was immediately passed on by the three Credit Directors in consultation and the money was made available at once, unless he was held to be a poor risk. '•';'■ Mr. Feenie dwelt on the low percentage of loss through unpaid debts—it amounted to less than one per., cent; taking the average. It seemed, Mr. Feenie observed, that a shareholder took pride in supporting hs union. GOOD CONTRAST .The speaker contrasted this way of doing business with instances of instalment buying and buying goods on credit. He instanced the case cf a man whp wished to buy a stpve locally. The price was $55 cash or $70 on long credit. The man went to the Credit Union for a loan and paid cash for his stove. The interest on the loan cost him 6 per cent and. he retired it in. monthly payments with a portion of the interest. Thus he bought the stbve-fpr under sixty dellars. Mr...Feenie went on to speak of installment buying. The big mail-order houses did it, he thought, at around 10 per cent but he did hot see how. they could make money at that if one figured extra book-keeping-, costs .of re-pbssess- ing and other factors. 'Here was a sphere for Credit Unions,', geared to saving and loaning, sums of small amount that were too' costly In book-keeping to be attractive to bank business. RESPONSIBILITY He emphasized the' importance bf good Directors. The Credit Directors should be business-like yet humane; they Should, know, the characters and circumstances of their members. The Supervisory Directors had ah onerous job;,They Were responsible for the conduct and solvency of the Unibn tp the Registrar, of Credit Unions in the report, had to be sent in to the Province. Every two months, a full Registrar by the treasurer, and once a. year, the Supervisory Dlreetprs .had to check up, all the pass-books against the Treasurer's accounts.. The Treasurer;was the only paid officer of the Union, Mr. Feenie added. The office could be combined with' that of Secretary or not as seemed advisable. The other Directors served without pay, Mr, .Eeehie else described how in the States—and. soon to be in Canada—the Credit Unions -were jpined in a national organization known as C.U.N.A. which was of great benefit. The profit of the Unions came from continual borrowing and repayment. In the country, loans were needed ln Spring and then business, was, slack. In the, towns money. was borrowed in Autumn and Winter. By passing available funds from one Credit Union ln the National League to another in want of it/, money was never idle but circulated continually anjong small borrowers at. Interest they could afford to pay, He hoped a Canadian League of Credit' Unions would soon come in Being. In Quebec and the Maritlmes, the movement was strong. Fifty members, he thought, was the essential number for the ' start of such a Union. Then followed:* discussion period to which many live questions were put At the conclusion ot the talk, Mrs. Anderson, Secretary of the Porcupines thanked Mr'. Feenie warmly :for his lecture and spoke of Its-great interest andof its easy, clear .exposition of the subject,', Supper was then served by Group A- headed by Mrs, Feenie, and a socialhour was then' enjoyed.

Hergert, In the meanwhile Was Just standing by and watching, Hergert got a penalty for it When he tried to protest it a little, the referee told him to keep quiet, or he would.get a misconduct penalty. In the ensuing talk, Hergert expressed his opinion that the arbiter couldn't ref a juvenile ; game. He: got his misconduct, too. In the second game, on the face- off, Hergert slapped the' puck, and it hit Al Galipeau, and he gave him io minutes for that .-'.,"'* In the first game, Just after Hergert took his seat in the sin bin, Roy McBrlde clubbed George Barefoot over the head with hla'stick (I think I remember,something like that happening-at Nelson, a while back) and^arejoot gbt two.mlnutes, and McBrlde five.

George obliged;: #nd took them off, Hergert then addressed McBride, and told him that since he, always" seemed to want a fight on the ice, here was his chance, and that he would see to it that no one would Interfere. Apparently McBrlde quietened. J. heard also, that after the game, the referees came to the Leaf dressing room and apologized to Hergert. Tonight the Nelion Maple Leafs stand a chance to move back Into second place, by one percentage point, In their game with the Trail Smoke Eaters, who are still tasting a bitter eight game streak of losses.

ByRAY TIM80N Canadian,Press Staff Writer VANCOUVER*, Feb. 8 (CP)—Engraver Ernest Conduit spent five days in chains before he could convince a gang of novice couhterfeit- ers mat he alone could never create a plate for bogus $20 bills. - This was learned tonight from R.C.M.P. inspector R. S. Wilson in an exclusive interview with The Canadian Press. He described the counterfeiting attempt as "hair- brained;" '■'■■ .!''■ Conduit, eBnyear-old former Toronto engraVer, 'was kidnapped a month ago, imprisoned in a Dunbar District home and chained in the cellar In an attempt to soften him to make counterfeit money plates. Inspector Wilson said It takes at least $50,000 worth of Intricate equipment, three skilled tradesmen and weeks of Intensive study tb' produce bogus money. The would-be counterfeiters, he suggested, were pitifully Inexperienced.' ■ \ ' He said the R.CM.P.ls more concerned with the kidnapping of the engraver who, even tpday, still feels he is a marked man and refuses to discuss With reporters his five-" ordeal at the hands of the abductors. His statement-to police said at least four men participated, each garbed in hoods of a Klu Klux Klan variety to avoid recognition, Eorsbt least, three dpys, he said, Conduit fruitlessly pleaded to the kidnappers; "I can't make the* plate. What do you expect me to use—a penknife, screw, driver and ham- merr' . Meanwhile across Canada a concentrated hunt is still under way for two members of the gang whom the HVC.M.P. claim they have Identified, One is the ringleader, a blond youth with a supercilious air and believed to be of Eastern European extraction.' '„■-" Inspector Wilson said once the gang of novices realized they needed thousands, of dollars worth of equipment and skilled engravers, photographers and printers,' they 'aban doned their plan and fled. The R.C.M.P. chief said there was no connection between the Vancouver counterfeiters and any International counterfeit ring, He-said it would be too far-fetched to link the Conduit case with the recent discovery of counterfeit money at Oih awa, Ont ' There, investigators have,pointed the finger, of suspicion to Donald (Mickey)" McDonald, the elusive Kingston Penitentiary escapee and considered. to be Canada's public enemy No.' 1. : , • NO.TIEtUP .''■ .'■ ' : *- „ McDonald, whose younger brother Edwin has,been charged with pos- day] session of the American currertcy found under a bathtub, was last traced to Vancouver but la now believed' to be holed up in New York State. ■ Said Inspector Wilson: "Our counterfeiters were hairbrained.
