• Rev. Donald Ma4Donald
Pride of accomplishment
11F Rev. Donald MacDonald
Messages from the Word "Lord,
when did we find you hungry
and fed yon, naked and clothed
you? He paid, when you did it
to the least of these, you did it
to me."
A well planned WALK
produces 'a sense of excitement
which is something new in most
communities. It often creates a
new feeling of pride and
community spirit, and helps to
break down barriers; and, of
course, in the money raised'
makes >a real contribution to
world development.
The Goderich OXFAM,,"Miles
for Millions" WALK on
Saturday, May 3, provides such
an 'opportunity for involvement
of people of all ages. It is easy to
think of young/people walking
and theiriders sponsoring
them, but many older people
walk and sense this pride of
accomplishment.
The proceeds of the May 3
WALK go to OXFAM OF
CANADA, which is like a World.
Charity Bank, making grants of
money to churches and
international relief agencies to
carry on and instigate programs
of development.
You will be • interested to
0 learn of most recent grants of
OXFAM to Nigeria and Biafra
which now total over $286,000.
of which, $1,500. was given to
Catholic Relief and $5,000 to
Caritas; $10,000 to the Canadian
Council of Churches (refugee
relief program); $10,000 to
International Comm.of the Red
Cross (relief supplies); $50,000
for OXFAM food ship' and
$25,000 to the Canadian Red
Cross for food for the ship;
$50,000 to help purchase super
aw constellation plane to fly in
supplies; $15,000 to supply
relief and medical team in
federal Nigeria.
,.Other_ reoenLgrants._.to then
world areas were made to the
Salvation Army, Mennonites and
Catholic teams working in Haiti;
to
,the Rotary Club of Dakao for
.a new dispensary in Viet Nam;
$67,000 to . David Eadie,
Toronto businessman to supply
welldrilling equipment and
irrigation„ pipes etc ' (under
United Church Board of World
t Mission).
This is OXFAM at work
through ,churches, service clubs
and relief agencies.
The most recent example of.
dramatic • co-operation was the
t
joint action of the Presbyterian
Church and OXFAM in the
purchase of the Super
Constellation aircraft for Biafra.
Catholic, Anglican;• United
churches made large grants and
the Jewish community have
promised assistance.
The OXFAM grants are made
w i t h.eut consideration • of
religion, race . or colour --
"NEED" is the only basis on
which grants . are made. If you
walk or sponsor a walker on May
3,-- you assist this program and
world. relief and development in
120 countries.

Representatives of Ontario's
32,000 secondary X• School
teachers celebrated the 50th
anniversary of their ,professional
organization in Hamilton last
week by, • reviewing their policy
on merit pay and taking steps to
make the public better informed
about their role in education. .
The 400 delegates and
observers at the three-day
Ontario Secondary School
Teachers' li ederation annual
assembly, meeting'. while
thousands of students enjoyed,4a
mid -winter break, heard
proposals to... _
--Study the advantages and
,disadvantages of merit pay for
individual teachers. (Although
the profession has not opposed
the idea,' it feels there is no
generally accepted method of
fairly rating teachers within a
school);
—Keep• a close watch on
efforts by Ontarioschool boards
to hire teachers in, the United
Kingdom next winter before the
same ,teaching positions 'have
been offered to Ontario
teachers;
Strengthen an information
department which will try to
keep both parents and the
general public abreast of
developments in the province's'
secondary schools;
—Co-operate' with local
school boards and the
Department of Education in
providing "survival" courses
next summer for "'t'i'nqualified
teachers needed to offset the
teacher shortage.
The annual assembly heard
during its opening session that
Education Minister William G.
Davis has been asked to discuss
alternative to the present school
year. Retng president, Robert
M. Smith, warned, however, that
any change must be carefully
studied . to make sure that
shoi`t-term economy does not
affect educational standards.
The meeting, attended by
three representatives of the
Colleges of Education, beard Dr.
Donald S. Felker, general
secretary, advocate closer

"We cannot afford to ignore
2,600 members (students at the
colleges.) We cannot ignore their
needs or their ideas. Certainly
we cannot ignore the fact that if
we involve them early in their
professional career they will
become positive contributing
members who will become
leaders in the not -too -distant
future."
The meeting also heard
resolutions expressing concern
about a swing towards larger
classes fn' some areas of the
province. The province„ has a
ratio hof 17:1 in its secondary
'school classrooms — 17. students
to one teacher. But, because this
figure includes principals, ,
vice -principals and other
non -teaching specialists, the
actual ratio is closer to 30:1..
The teacher - shortage —
Ontario expects to have 2,700
unqualified persons in its
secondary schools next fall —
prompted warnings that some
school administrators start hiring
unqualified•teachers early in: the
year from universities.
"There is, in my opinion, no
need for any board of education
or its officers to take advantage
of the one-sided date- (hiring
begins March 1) by tiptoeing
through the ranks of soon-to-be
graduated university students
." said Dr. Felker.

Because we don't have to spend
a-lot-o#-tir-neon- this every year,
Underneath the familia olkswagen you
think never changes you'll fihd' something
• quite surprising:
A Volkswagen that does.
Over The years, we've nide more than
4,500 changes to it.
Every one an improvement.
But in spite of all those changees going on
we can spend a lot more ; 'me
___dry this:
-.._ _:..
inside,,outside,the VW goes on looking pretty
much the same.from one year to the next.
Which, of course, was the whole idea.
, Because-, that means that this years
Volkswagen won't be next year's;has been.
And it also means that when youdon't
have to work on the way it looks, you chi
work that mutt harder on the way It works.
So even though the VW gets hard ° r to im-
prove every yeah, every year we try harder
to improve it,
Which puts us at a' bit of a disadvantage
compared to the other car makersi
They just have to worry about out -
`doing each other.
We have to worry about out -doing us.
