Associations of Ontario. The Federa- tion represents the 31.iI0O cvomen leachers In the untarin element u-\ public schools. Attending from this area were Sharron Barnes of Loran school. Jean Stevenson and Eva Brophey of Biddu1ph-I.ucan school. Provincial President Edna Parker noted that only 26 of the province's 8u public school boards have equal op- portunity programmes in spite 01 twelve years ot urging from the Ministry of Education. The result is that only len per cent of elementary public school principals are women. although two-thirds ot the teachers are women. 'There has been only a very slight improvement in the number- of women principals in recent years In a debate 00 the extension ol separate school funding. delegates ex- pressed concern that elementary public schools as well as secondary schools may lose students, with a resulting loss of staff and possible closing of small schools. They also asked for provisions for ‘voinen teachers to he retained in the public schools 11 utuen tend to have lower seniority than men and may therefore Hall blasts Scott for booze opinions Ontario Attorney -General lan Scott has been charged with "lame duck reasoning'in his contention that the sale of beer and wine at grocery and convenience stores could actually lead to a decrease in the number ol impaired drivers. That contention was hotly opposed by Councillor Morley Hall at Mon- day's session of Exeter, council. Hall said that when alcohol becomes more accessible, there will be more consumed, and he said that would lead to more drinking drivers on the highways. The local councillor explained that - when people drink, that's their own business, but "when they drink and drive, that's my business" Exeter has circulated a resolution calling on the government to withdraw plans to sell beer and wine in convenience and grocery stores, contending that it will lead to an in- crease in drinking and driving, as well as the risk of more violence as those outlets would be the target of thieves to a greater extent than that even are at present. Scott said last week in a 'I'V ap- pearance that having liquor in neighborhood outlets would mace the problem of drinking and driving as people could walk to the stores to get their liquor supplies. 1 WIN TITLE - The Exeter Zonebusters won the "A" division of the Sportsfest basketball with three straight wins.
