ONTARIO WEEKLY NEWSPAPERS ASSOCIATION WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1959 IS IT FAIR? FOLLOWING THE RECENT dispute between the school area board and the teachers in the area, we can't help but feel there should be a change in the policy of paying school teachers. It hardly seems fair to us that a woman school teacher should earn the same salary as a man. Before some of the lady teachers start tearing us apart for making such a statement, we want them to realize that we feel they are every bit as well qualified as are the men. This com- parison is meant for not only the local area, but for teachers all across the country. Nine times out of ten the woman teacher is a married woman, whose husband can be claimed as the breadwinner of the family. But, in the case of men teachers, they are the breadwinner in the family, and should be earning more money than a woman is. There is no doubt about the fact that it costs a woman as much, and takes as long, to become a teacher, as it does a man. But we still feel a man is entitled to a higher salary than a woman, no matter what the profession may be.

BOLTON, Returning Officer 1 ZURICH Citizens NEWS SUGAR and SPI (By W. (Bill) B. T. Smiley) This week I received a letter that made my hp curl like a corn - flake. It was notification that the Class of '49 will be holding a big, jolly, 10 -year reunion in Toronto next October. It will be complete with football game, banquet, dance, and no doubt, class "yells" and songs. Just a real swell get-together of that grand bunch of good guys and great gals that made up the best little old class that ever graduated. * 1) Before we go any further, let me make it crystal clear that I would not (a) touch with the pro- verbial ten -foot pole, or (b) be found dead at, any such gathering. The very thought of it gives me the green shudders. * In the first place, I should have graduated with the Class of '44. But a war, followed by a year in hospital, forced me to take my degree with the Class of '49. Their wide-eyed adolescences did not en- dear my classmates to me, Nor did my greying hair and austere manner endear me to them. a:* In the second place, I was al- ways a pallid imitation of a col- lege boy. Organized cheering al- ways brought me out in goose bumps of embarrassment. School "yells" made me wish desperately to be someplace else. And when classmates sang the good old col- lege song, tears of emotion prac- tically spurting from their eyes, I would stand about in a state of silent, acute unease, cold chills of distress cruising my spine. * * 4: I am not citing this reaction as being admirable or unique. It's just the way I respond. Lots of people get a wonderful feeling of togetherness when they stand, arms around each others' should- ers, bellowing puerile words to a borrowed tune. All I say is, let them stay together, as long as they include me out. * A third reason I would never ap- pear at a class reunion is that I woudn't dare. One of my real college friends, as opposed to class- mates, might hear about it, and laugh himself into a state of chron- ic hysteria. *The crowd I hung around with at college was scarcely the clean- cut type that went to school danc- es, sang school songs or cheered school cheers. They were much too busy for such wholesome antics. * *: They were too busy trying to borrow a clean shirt from each other. They were too busy gather- ing empty beer bottles, so they could raise enough money for a box of full ones. They were too busy looking for new rooms, be- cause they'd been evicted. They were too busy borrowing notes from the students who did go to lectures, Some of them were veterans, and when their cheques came in they lived high, wide and hilarious for a week. After that they went back to beans, bread and borrow- ing for the rest of the month. :' ;' 4: Today perhaps they'd be called Beatniks, and would be self-consc- WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1959 iously proud of their sordid exist- ence. But in those days self-pity and scraggly beards had not come into fashion, and my old sidekicks just enjoyed life in a thoroughly robust fashion. * Whenever one of them received a little windfall, they'd visit us. In fourth year I was married and we lived in a crumby, three- room apartment, with a small squa]ling boy. Of an evening, there would be merry voices approach- ing, a thumping on the door, and in they'd troop, anywhere from a couple to half a dozen of them. * * * One would be tottering under a carton of suds. Another would (Continued on Page Eight) Business and Professional Directory. DENTISTS AUCTIONEERS DR. H. H. COWEN DENTAL SURGEON L.D.S., D.D.S.
