"There are enough qualified teachers to meet Ontario's require- ments in most subject areas for this year, and this action is one way to ensure we maintain that supply in the future," Mr. Conway said. The regulation change was made under the Teachers' Superannuation Act. Previously, pensioners could return to employment in education for only 20 days in a school year without pension penalties. After the 20 -day Inuit, their pensions were reduced by one four -hundredth for each day worked. The increased limit will allow re- tired teachers to return to the class- room for temporary and supply teaching assignments for about one semester per year. Queensway mews HENSALL - We missed you due to the holiday last week, so 1 will just give you the highlights of our past week.

Reverend Stojkovic led our wor- ship service Tuesday afternoon with his wife as pianist. International Day took place Fri- day and we featured Singapore. Adrian Harte of Exeter presented the program consisting of slides and commentary including several inter- esting observations from when his parents and he lived there. Adrian brought fascinating artifacts for resi- dents to see and touch, an ivory in- laid jewelry box, carved teak wood figures lamp, pictures, shells from his father's deep sea diving days, a sari and many samples of their coins. We ended our program with a snack of eggrolls with sauce and tea. As many of you are aware, Sun- day was grandparents' day and to cel- ebrate Coby and Irvin Amoraal and daughters entertained us with a won- derful Gospel and Folk music pro- gram, which also included a number by their two daughters Naomi and Jolande.

This is an important meeting, plan to attend. Carmel Presbyterian The writer went to church service quite some time before the service began, in fact I was alone. I took time of observe our church and thought of "the church in the valley by the wildwood". The sanctuary was beautifully ordomed with flow- ers. On the table was a lovely plant in memory of Aldeen Volland, who passed away two years ago. Her . husband and family had it placed there. A beautiful arrangement of brightly coloured gladioli adorned the side table. Carolyn Love, our organist played several selections and then Rev. Mark Gaskin entered the sanc- tuary. The congregation though not large, were quite happy to be back. It is of interest that Ruby Bell, her son -Bob and his wife Marlene, and their daughter-in-law and infant son were in attendance - three genera- tions. Rev. Mark spoke about the dec- laration of war against Germany by Canada 50 years ago. It brought . back many memories. Rev. Mark reminded us of the Torchmen who are coming to the Zurich Mennonite church on Sep- tember 24, at 7:30 p.m. Any who can attend should do so as they are a wonderful group of singers.
