More than 300 leaders of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation returned home Friday after a four-day Annual Assembly that focussed almost exclusively upon negative effects of provincial ceilings upon education spending. Before concluding the 52nd Annual. Assembly, delegates passed, —resniUtinns empowering their , provincial executive to use sanctions that could include rotating walk-outs to oppose the ceilings. Mrs. Jerry (Jean) Aceti, a Sudbury teacher, was elected 19'71-72 president, defeating Philip Downie, a Welland vice-principal. She and other members of the new executive will take office in June. Despite an extension of the four-day meeting, delegates never did complete their agenda. A major reason was that provincial politicians, municipal trustees, parents and community leaders were invited to a Thursday evening discussion of the provincial ceilings. Tim Reid, Liberal Party education critic, told the meeting as opening speaker that he will ask for an immediate session of the Legislature's standing committee on education and university affairs to review the government's decision to impose a uniform ceiling upon ail boards. Other speakers included members of the NDP caucus, Metro Toronto school trustees and teachers from around the province. Earlier in the Assembly, President G. P. (Geoff) Wilkinson warned that the ceilings will mean a "mindless butchery" of programs next fail.

KIICI4EN Dui` NI01- Wit101)Se'' -r`Ht BY ANDRE /WISING One of the most overused phrases parents like to throw at their children is, "When I was young ... "Isn't it ironic," a young man of 13 would gloat, "how mom and dad talk about their tough life and their struggle during the war and depression. But look at all the problems", he continues, "they've left our mod generation!" Then the educated, enlightened, young man smirks with an air of superiority. "They say, the world is in the biggest danger of pollution, nuclear holo . eh . . , hono . . eh, wars, and materialism." "Who are "they"?" I asked. "Well!", he responded with carefree bravado, "'they', are the enlightened few, the most educated students this planet has ever produced. These are the people who want change!" "What do they want changed?" I asked. "Well, for one thing," this specimen of the new breed replied, "something that bothers me im . , . ah . immen er . . a lot is the constant harping of parents on that phrase, "when I was young!" "But," I responded righteously, "Parents want to teach their youngsters by example of their lifetime". "Oh yeah," shouted the young hero, "then how cum they try to tell me, when I was young I went to bed at 8:00 o'clock every school night? Just tell me." "My dear young man," I says, "You need your sleep to keep pace with the hectic, exciting life. Your brain must keep abreast of all of today's exciting materialistic and technilogical discoveries by having ample time to assimilate all computed data," BY MARK NICHOLSON Grade 7 It all began on a morning bright, The clouds rolled in, but caused no fright, We had no idea of the storm ahead, That would-cause 'in our.lives, of snow-dread. It was the worst we had in many a year, That blizzard in '71. "Well, I say it's a direct result of the colonialistie attitudes of today brought on by an imperialistic and capitalistic society." My frustrated brain started to whirl because of the obvious generation gap. After all this Young man is my brother and I am five years older than he. But I pressed on, "You realize that the hour of your bedtime is not important as compared to the real knowledge you could learn from your dads' experiences." "You too?" he exclaimed in awe, "Has your mind been affected by our corrupt society? You're only 18," he cried, "you haven't been gripped by the self-destructive nature of our life, have you?" His eyes penetrated into the righteous glaze of my eyes. "Oh no," he moaned contemptably, "A conservative square. What," he screamed hysterically for the world to hear, "is to become of him?" I was amazed. Either he or I was off my rocker. I felt rejected. One of the nincompoops in this world of super-human kids. But I overheard a conversation at the dinner table, that restored my confidence in myself. A six year old brother was complaining 60 cents wasn't enough to go to the Winter Carnival. "Hah, just like a kid," snorted our hero. "Money, isn't worth water to you is it?" The pitch in his voice got higher. "Money isn't worth anything to you, because its handed to you, right? Why don't you work for money then you would know th value." Then he screamed like a siren "When I was young . I" It caused in our hearts th terrible fear Of stopping, there'd be none. But children's hearts weren' sad, There'd be no school today, They could stay home wit mom and dad, Or go outside to play. To me it was stupendous, From school to be free, But now over it why fuss? For it is just a memory. The Blizzard
