Wednesday, March 13,1974. TEN CENTS Hi—w a y theatre reopens WEA files labor suit The Willamina Éducation As sociation (30-J E.A.) by a ma jority vote on February 20,1974, has filed an unfair labor prac tice against the School R>ard of District 30-J. The suit, filed with the Public Employees Re lations Board, charges the School Board with refusing to grant monthly payroll deduct- ions as specified in the public employees collective bargain ing bill, House Bill 2263. The 30-J Education Associ ation, the official representa tive for teachers, cites the rights of teachers to monthly payroll deductions for the or ganization that is the exclusive representative. (ORS 292.055, New policeman starts duties Section 31), During a general District Teachers meeting in December, a vote was taken and a ma jority of those present voted to ask for monthly payroU de duction for Oregon Education Association dues.

New owners fo r Fillible, Yates give Bailers talk to C ham ber Richard Leber began his duties with the WiUamina Police Department March 1. Leber, 27, is an ex-Marine who served in Viet Nam.

Sheridan plant to build p re —cut homes The old McCormick miU site and buildings, which recently housed the Johnson Manufac turing Company will reopen in April to produce pre-cut homes for Japanese and domestic mar kets. The site is located at SW Third and Monroe streets, adjacent to the railroad tracks, and covers an area of 24 acres. CanCedra, a subsidiary of CanCedra Homes International, a Canadian company, has pur chased the property from Ral eigh Chin of Seattle. They hope to employ 45 persons in the Sheridan plant, and ship their products through Seattle, ac cording to company president Dennis Tkachuk. CanCedra Homes Internat ional has had Portland sales offices for the past two years. Their houses have been pro duced in plants in Vancouver, B.C., and Montreal, Quebec. The firm has signed a con tract to provide at least 420 homes to the Japanese. The pre cut homes would sell for $22,000 to $32,000 in the United States exclusive of land, and set on a lot in Japan, the price will be $55,000 to $115,000.

Fillible is eleglble to apply for the week-long program and to study in Washington D.C. in June if accepted. The one snag is money;— Fillible is saving his funds for college and can't afford to attend the Washington program without the support of civic groups. Kiwanis has pledged $100 toward the trip and, after FiUlble's presenta tion, the Chamber of Commerce ity of more to come if he is accepted. The Chamber voted to change both the time and place of its meetings. Because of the dif ficulty of many of the mem bers in getting away from work during the noon hour, it was decided that the group will meet for breakfast meetings instead. A meeting place has not yet been selected for certain. Election of officers was de layed until more members could attend. Also discussed but not finally settled were plans for the 1974 E aster egg hunt. It will be held either at the Tina Milwr Mem orial Park o r at the high school, pending approval of the city o r o r the school. Winner of the $20 drawing would have been Dick's Saw Shop.
