I am quite interested in birds and a member of the OnMrio Naturalists. I find lately that it isn't so easy to distinguish the different species, I guess my eyes aye failing me. I have couple of bird feeders up but find I am feeding mostly English Sparrows. It's the event of the winter wheel a cardinal visits them. I am interested in stones too, I have an article here saying that dean:ends may be found in this part of the country. Last fall I had a piece of sedimentary rock brought in feom the farm, it has quartz and other coloured stories in it, but, alaS4, no diamonds. My brother Bert has a saw and polishing machine and turns out some nice things. He and his wife had a lovely trip around the eoUthern pert of North America this Fall, maybe I>h type out the interesting parts for you. Mary (Teylor) Somerville and I had a lovely trip the first two weeks of October down to Williamsburg. We spent three days in Washington, it is a very interesting city, I am a clipper, If there is anything in the way of typing or looking up articles I could do for you let me know. The first thing I look for in the Clinton paper is what happened fifty (100) years ago and next Lucy's column. Beet wishes, Maple Howes. * * * The following excerpts are from A. A. Livermore's letter to his sister, describing a trip which he and his wife took in October 1967: Well, here we are back from our trip around the Southern part of the North American continent. We enjoyed it very much, it was certainly a wonderful trip, quite easy not having to pack up every day for a different hotel at night. We were glad to seeNa.ssaubutonedae would have been enough. I wouldn't want to stay there two or three weeks. The trip through the Panama was one of the highlights and was very ti eetty. Forty-six miles through the Gatum lake, through islands densely covered with tropical flowers and 'foliage. The weather wasn't too hot that day and they served us a buffet lunch up on the teei deck so we shouldn't miss any of the view. Ampulea is a wonderful place to see. A place of wonderful homes and hotels, as well as it's noteworthy beaches. From Acapulca it is a two days sail to Los Angeles. The night before we arrived there we got a radiogram from Helen to say that she and Jim would meet us at the dock in the morning, which they did. They drove us out in the Country and up through the mountains. They showed us Dad's place, then to a Mexican restaurant for a Mexican lunch. After driving some more they took us to Helen's place for coffee, then back to the boat. We had passes to take them on board and showed them all over the boat. In the ship's dining room we had afternoon tea and cake, so you see we had a very full day. Next day we were at San Francisco for thirty hours. The first eleieeee-leeloetsseeeleeille-61 day we took in two tours of the City, the next day we went shopping and had a ride on the famous cable cars, that was almost too Much for us, we find we are not so young as we used to be. On arrival at Vancouver the weather was not of the best, in fact, it rained most of the time we were there. We had a very lovely hotel there, quite new. The taxi driver said it was one of the best in Vancouver. Ruth called up her relatives and they came and got us and we joined another family in an enjoyable dinner. We got home on the Wednesday evening and are enjoying our cosy little home again. Now I am wondering if you are back from your trip and if you had as wonderful a time as we did. I have forgotten the date you would be back. These days so many people meet tragedy on the highways on their holidays, it is just too terrible to think about.

Stone, wife of the Past President of St. John Ambulance, Ontario Coun- cil, has donated a trophy to be competed for by the women of the Nursing Divisions of the St. John Ambulance Brigade in Ontario.

Dave Brazeau and Howard James were among representa• tives of Ontario's 28,000 sec- ondary school teachers seeking new levels of both professional responsibility and influence in the field of education. They heard proposals which would: Provide better pay for bet- ter individual teachers; Give the Federation even greater influence over secon- dary school curriculum- and standards. Permit teachers to run for office on their own local school boards (now prohibited by Pro- vincial statute). Establish a program of "in. ternship" for teachers with the federation itself having a say in final certification. Observers did not see major salary problems ahead for 1968 but the chairman of the OSSTF salary committee, James Rue. sell, of Hamilton, did point out that it would be necessary to seek general increases of from 8 to610 .percentp.,even to pro. vide economic equality for teachers and to maintain a flow of qualified recruits. During salary debate a motion calling for the right to strike by teachers was withdrawn and other motions seeking a. procese of conciliation, mediation and arbitration were referred to a special committee. At pre. sent teachers are limited to resignation on certain dates when negotiations fail. The retiring gener; I secre. tary of the federation, I, M. Robb - attending his 22nd An. nual Assembly- moved the delee gates to a standingovation when he told them the federation must take new attitudes and set new professional standards. The long established idea of across-.the-board increases, regardless of a teacher's par. ticular abilities, was, he, said, obsolete. He suggested the fed. eration adopt "a policy favor. ing an earned but not neces. sarily uniform,' increment, as opposed to the present automae tic and uniform increment." In other words, better pay for good teachers - and, as he added later, no toleration of poor teachers.

They said they Clinton Teachers Attend Convention replace the traditional system of projecting the College of Education graduate right into the educational system. Teacher trainees would pare ticipate in a total school pro. gram of at least 20 weeks, and a department license to teach would be issued after a satisfactory year. A brief on the matter will be presented to the Minister of Education in 1968. Robert M. Smith, Burlington, was elected president, succeed- ing C. 3', McCaffrey of Ottawa; R. Ward McAdam, North York, was elected first vice-pr es ident; G. P. Wilkinson, Dresden, sec- ond vice-president; and Mrs. Jean Aceti, Sudbury, 'third vice- presidene. Arthur C.

OSSTF, he said, had "played an enormously important role in all Grade 13 changes an. nounced this year." Mr. McCaffra.y also said that teachers should have ree presentation on their own local school boards. They would be elected on a separate ballot, but would have no voice in teacher salary decisions. Led by teaching training authorities from British Col. umbia, Alberta, Nova Scotia and Ontario, the assembly de- bated an "internship" method of teacher training. This would
