During opening months, May
through Thanksgiving, 900
students will be employed in
these areas.
The 105 hostesses at Ontario
Place will wear a non-uniform
look, Because of the
indoor-outdoor aspects outfits
had to be versatile. Designer Pat
McDonagh created a four-part
costume consisting of a slim
modified midi with long side
slits that can be worn alone or
over flared slacks. For a more
sporty look she chose cuffed hot
pants teamed with a safari
jacket. All pieces are completely
interchangeable. The fabric is
easy-care polyester in a vibrant
buttercup yellow. Accents of
white vinyl are picked up in
belts, boots, shoes, shoulder
purses and raincoats, Outfits for

now wonders whether it was all
worthwhile," said Dr, Felker,
"because those same
qualifications make it unlikely
that another board in the
province will want to afford
him."
Others elected to the 1971-'72
provincial executive include
,Daryl Hodgins of Metropolitan
Toronto, vice-president; Vince
Mathewson of Owen Sound,
Treasuer; Doug Dinsmore of
Etobicoke and Jean Pitre of

The Beta Sigma Phi sorority

Marj Dobson.
The meeting began with the
usual opening ritual, roll call,
minutes and treasurers report.
Next a "Ways and Means"
project was discussed and it was
decided to hold a raffle on a
sheepskin rug, to be drawn on
May 4. Then as a "Service"
project it was decided that each
girl will bring a toy to the next
meeting, to be donated to the
children's ward at the hospital as
an Easter gift. Next there was a
discussion on a pending "Social"
evening and "Publicity"
reported purchasing a camera.
Traditionally, the second
March meeting is to include the
election of officers for the fall
season, but considering the late
start of this season, a motion
was proposed and carried to
continue with the officers
remaining as set' up temporarily
at the beginning of the chapter.
This was as follows: President,
Betty Lockhart; Vice-President
and Treasurer, Jill Roulston;
secretary, Marjorie Dobson;
Service, Sharon Carter; Ways and
Means, Linda Meade; Social,
Betty-Jo Cudmore; Publicity,
Ann Adams.
The meeting was then turned
over to Larraine Baechier, the
Goderich extention officer who
continued with the training
programme and invited the
Clinton Chapter to the
Founder's Day dinner meeting in
Goderich on April 27, and Ellen
Connelley, her assistant, who
gave instructions on presenting
cultural programmes, and also
invited the group to a "games
night", social, in Goderich on
March 30.

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.
One group of teachers from
Carleton County reported that
local grorip had already

from one teacher W110 has spent

will be phased Out.

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

discoveries by having ample time

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.
