Provincial President Jeanne Frolick called on the delegates to take a stand in defence of the schools, claiming that schools are b1etter than ever, educating. more children than ever From up here by Shelley McPhee When I studied journalism at Ryerson, I was taught a variety of newspaper basics and tricks all of which proved to be valuable, or will prove so as I get more experienced in my trade. However, one aspect of newspaper training that was somehow inadvertently avoided or forgotten in my schooling was the care .and feeding of tropical fish. However obscure it may sound, this activity has become a requirement, not forced upon me, as part of my work at • the News -Record. My semi -haphazard involvement' with Minnie the Moucher, Gravel Gertie, Mack the Knife, and other fish who I can't tell apart, was intensified the other day when one of our Angel fish decided to kick the bucket, or the aquarium. Upon hearing that she, or he, was approaching the great fish tank in the sky, my natural reaction to keep the fish alive took over'. Each of us in the office suggested our home remedies to cure the fish. Someone said salt would work, another thought some acid would clean out its gills, someone else offered a shot of whiskey, or a clothespin clipped on to its back fin to'keep it alive. Since my expertise of fish is somewhat limited, I had no feasible suggestions and contented myself by'holding the Angel upright' by its back fin, to get it breathing and swimming. Despite all of our concern and medicinal cures,.the Angel died and was followed the next day by .another Angel fish. I guess my love for ahimars goes beyond that boundary to include fish..Although I didn't mourn the death of the Angel, I do remember when my one and only goldfish, appropriately named Goldie, died. Goldie swam about in her little bowl on my bedside table for almost a week until one morning I found her lying upside down, quite dead. After losing such a great pal, I vowed never to have another fish. Now I undertake the task of feeding the fish in the office and take a daily head count to make sure that •nobody has been eaten or have died, despite the fact that I have no idea how much , food to give them and my counting may be off since one fishlooks like another to me. However, the majority of the cold-blooded little beasts seem to•be surviving through my attempts at loving care. I suppose I can now include on my resume, "journalist with some knowledge of tropical fish." the past. Mrs. Frolick proposed a number of actions to ease the problems of unemployment among teachers, including job sharing by teachers who prefer to work half time. She said it would be cheaper in the long run tor society to provide! jobs for young teachers by having smaller classes, and '"more special education. The alternative she said, is to , pay unemployment in- surance to young teachers while.ome children now in school "may suffer all their • lives from learning disabilities which could have been helped in smaller classes or special classes. Alan Borovoy, general counsel for the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, was the annual dinner speaker. Scholarships worth a total of $39,000 were presented to women teachers, mainly 'for pest -graduate study.

CLINTON Besides this, the in- vestigating officer will ask to see your driver's license, the vehicle registration and proof of insurance. He will also ask you for a brief explanation of how the accident occurred. If at this time you are not quite sure of any details, don't try to ad lib, and if you feel groggy from a blow on the head, say so. If there is something which you think could be damaging to you, tell the officer that you do not wish to comment further until you have spoken to a lawyer. Remember, never make a blanket admission of fault, or agree with the other driver's assertion that it was All your fault. It is also wise to contact your insurance company immediately, and don't sign any document without prior knowledge of your insurance agent, a lawyer, or both. it a MOBILE SERVICE HAUGH Alignment & TIRE SUPPLY Balancin 482-9796 '482-3752 267 VICTORIA ST: CLINTON B 1 want to stub -let my apart- ment. There are still five months left on my lease and my landlord has told me that I can't sublet. What are my rights, if any? Your landlord has no legal rights as far as we know to enforce this ' self-made rule upon you, because unless your. lease says something to the contrary, you do have a right sublet to whomever you please. However we must point out that before you go ahead and sublet, you should be aware that YOU are still liable on the lease if your sub -tenant fails to pay, or any damage is done by the new tenant to the apart- ment.

I believe she made some statements while she was in shock and I've heard sbout people who are inthis con- dition who do indeed make damaging statements which they later regret. • Can you clarify just what anyone involved in an ac- cident is obliged to tell the other driver? The police? Section 140 of the Highway Traffic Act states that any driver involved in an accident, is obliged to give the name and address of the registered owner of the vehicle to any police officer, or anyone else who has either witnessed, or sustained loss in the accident.
