Lucy Pessee 911 to her reaelere a letter from Mrs. 0, Nelsen
Howes Which Was delighted to find enclosed with her Christmas
card:
Dear Lucy and Carl - I've hew,' going to write to you all
summer but time seems tet flyr I was sorry you had to be in
the hospital and intended sending you a get, well card but it is
so easy to Put off thine life that, I hope you are well again!
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.

Two Clinton secondary school
teachers were among 450 dele-
gates to the Annual Assembly
of the Ontario Secondary
School Teachers' Federation
held at Toronto.
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.
Charles McCaffrey, of Ottawa
ending his one-year term as
president, told the delegates

Who thinks up new wrinkles for getting
rid of old ones, in slacks and sheets
Nothing is perfect.
This fact has helped Dominion
Textile become a leader in the
Canadian textile industry.
Because it means there
must be ways to improve
almost every fabric.
Dominion Textile is constantly
searching for these ways.
And finding quite a few
of them. Slacks that keep the
press in and the creases out.
Sheets you never have to iron.
New and better techniques,
new and better ways of doing
things, new and better fabrics.
From Tex-Made,
the fabric people.

He Was referring to the Depart-
ment of Education's decision to
drop Grade 13 examinations and
permit principals to set their
own standards for advancement.
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

school boards. They would be
elected on a separate ballot,
but would have no voice in
teacher salary decisions.
Led by teaching training
