As ho rounded a corner near
City hall he came upon a five-
foot alligator relaxing on the
sidewalk, window shopping at
Tip Top TV.
Sgt. Rowe, knowing full
well that the creature was not
there for the purpose of pur-
chasing a television set and al-
so realizing that the citizens of
our fair city might think they
were dreaming if they stepped
out in the morning and were
confronted with this sight, de-

to move said alligator.
"So with the able assistance
of Officer Alton Boutwell and
Jerry Miller the animal was
dispatched to the nearest lake:'
Bullock didn't say whether
the alligator resisted. No
charges were lodged against it,

Teachers Attend
Fall Conference
Four teachers from the Wing -
ham Public School attended the
fall conference of the Federa-
tion of Women Teachers Asso-
ciations of Ontario in Listowel
on Saturday. They were Mrs.
Dorothy Thornton, Mrs. Jean
Wilson, Mrs. Margaret Moffat
and Mrs. Shirley Kaufman,
Delegates were present from
Bruce, Grey, Huron, Perth,
Middlesex, Oxford, Lambton,
Kent, Essex and Elgin. Total
attendance was 230,
Chief speaker for the con-
ference was Miss Pearl Mowry
of Port Arthur, president of the
FWTAO, who told the dele-
gates that they are obligated to
provide a first-class job of
classroom teaching.
"The federation is mostcon-
cerned about the quality of ser-
vice we give. Proof of this lies
in the fact that the federation
spends more money, staff time
and energy on the professional
activities of our organization
than any other phase," she said.
The speaker stated that the
federation is deeply and active-
ly interested in teacher educa-
tion and the need to continual-
ly raise the standards of educa-
tion required for entrance into
the teaching profession.
Miss Mowry told the teacher
they not only have an obliga-
tion to abide by the ideals of
the federation as set out in the
code of ethics, but they must
also accept the goals of the
federation as their own.
The speaker described tea-
chers as the backbone of the
nation. "The whole basis of
education rests with you, the
individual teacher," she said.
The morning session, held
in the auditorium of the Listo-
wel District Secondary School,
was in charge of Miss Mary
Graham of Dresden, executive
director of the federation. A
panel discussion on superannua-
tion was chaired by Mrs. Alma
Proud of Owen Sound.
