Lea Announces

Speed

Highways Minister Graham
Lea today announced details of
speed limit reductions for
British Columbia.

“A 55 mup.h. speed limit will
be in effect on most main high-
ways; maximum freeway speed _
will be reduced to 60 m.p.h.;
Vancouver Island and some
other areas with high traffic
and accident potential will be
posted al 50 m.p.h,,”’ Lea said.
The new limits will begin into
effect during the next six weeks.
““We have deliberately

avoided a simplistic blanket
approach ta speed limit
‘ reduction,” said Lea, * “British
Columbia is a province of great
conirasis in terrain and
population density. In setting
“the new limits my Department
“is taking into account both road
“standards and traffic valumes.””

‘Lea freely admitted that the
‘decision to reduce speed limits
had been influenced by the U.S.
experience, ‘Traffic deaths
were reduced by as much as 25
-perceni following. the in-

. troduction of the 65 m.p.h, speed
_timit.in the U.S. . That seems
like a pretly good reason for
following their example.”

He added that while a portion
of the falality reduction could
be altributed to a decrease in
travel resulting from the gas
shorlage in the U.S., there was
ample evidence thal the low
speed cul down on deaths and

‘> serious injuries,

Discussing the reasons for the
various limils chosen, Lea said
that $5 m,p.h, has been selected
for most highways because it

‘, pravides the oplimum com-

bination of safely and
-reasonable travelling time.

‘Maximum freeway speed has
been dropped to 60 m.p.h. in the
light, of statistics which show
thal al 70 m.p.h, almost all

Better Educational

Dr, R.E.M. Lee, Chairman of .

-the School District _No.88

(Skeena-Cassiar} has issued a
communique in reply to a
challenge last week issued by
the local teachers Association lo
debate the pros and cons of local
or provincial wide work con-
tract agreement. The following
is Dr, Lee's statement.

Boards .of Schoo! -Trustees
being asked why they want ta
have centralized bargaining
with their teachers.: The B.C.

Teachers’ Federalion, through .

local teachers’ associations, has
levelled accusations against
trustees that they have
_delegaled their. elected
responsibility to a central

agency outside the local
community. _
Parents, and the public

generally, who are nol familiar
with the process are, naturally,
apl-to be confused by some of
the statements made via the
news media by local teachers’
associalion representatives,

For example, a recent
meeling of the Vancouver
School Board was packed: wilh
six hundred teachers en-
deavouring, by sheer weight of
numbers, rather than by logic,
to influence the Board's
decision in favour of province-
wide bargaining. —-

An editorial in the Ocleber Sth
“Province” enlitled New Math
In School Bargaining slates the
facts of the matter very clearly

and concisely and fully reflects -

the Terrace trustees’ thinking
in this matter.

“There is no reason. fer the
Vancouver school board's
decision in favor of province-
wide bargaining to become a
(threat lo. board-teacher

choose to make it one, >

The teachers. claim that ‘by
designating its bargaining
righis to the B.C. School

Trustees Associalion the board .

has abrogated the teachers’
‘“fundamenial right — to
negotiate,” They have warned
that centralized bargaining is
“the first step in tolal cen-
\ralization of education ... and.
local boards may have started
their own destruction through
this,’

Those are high-sounding |

phrases. If the teachers
_@ramatize the situation more
“gerfously ‘Than:"-it should: ‘be

“presented this! allitude’ may

indeed become a threat lo the
relationship, The teachers fear
that under centralized
bargaining ‘their ability “to
negoliate on local issues will be
lost, It becomes a question of-
whether basie salary is a local
issue... -

Whal is the siluation now? In
effect, there is province- wide
bargaining now on salaries.
Teachers simply do not allow
salary levels to get oul of line
across the province and they
are perfectly carrect in doing
so. By-and large .the ‘school
districts follow’ pallerns set
elsewhere, because teaching |s

conditions are accounted for
in local bargaining, and that’s
as it should be loo, There may,
for instance, be juslificalion for
somewihal higher pay inremole
areas where ‘living cosis may
be higher. .

But those province-wide
patterns are being set by. local
leverage applied to the teachers
and they tend to follow the
highesL common denominator
rather than.a fair average. If
arbitraled selilements under

the. current system. varied’

widely between districts, the
teachers would soon find fault
with them. And they'd be right.
But they fear the loss of
traditional “advantages” built
into the present system.

The | teachers should
thoroughly examine those
It could, fer in-
stance, be argued that under
province-wide negotiations they
would have more clout since the
entire school system would face

back their salary claims.

The. main advantage in
province-wide bargaining is
thal it would lend some
ralionality to the whole process,
The pressures on-both sides to
sellle amicably would he
enormous, since the education
of school children throughout
the province would be al stake.
. And local conditions need not
be ignored under ‘a broad
bargaining structure. There is
no reason why local conditions
could nol be accounted for in

-local bargaining beyond the

establishment of provincial
norms. Other unions not only
accepl.such broad bargaining -

believe inequity among their,

The teachers presumably
