attend:-
- As usual for_this.cvent, guests -in-
cluded Huron County Board of edu-.
cation personnel from the 270 -
member HWTA, Board administra-
tive staff, trustees, retired teachers,
representatives from the Ontario
Public School Teachers' Associa-
tion and the 'media. -
Helen Penfold, FWTAO provin-
cial president, wasthe kFynote
speaker. She reviewed the gains
4nade by women teachers over the
past 70 years their organization has
been in existence, and assessed what
the future holds.
Penfold answered her own ques-
tion "Should our organization con-
tinue to exist in its .present form
with a definite "Yes". She gave a
number of reasons bolstering hcr ar-
gument that women shotilt1 retain -
their strong professional associa-.
tion.
The women's organization can ad-
dress special issues like paid mater-
nity leave, class time and prepara-
tion time during collective
bargaining.. Another reason is .the
fact only .one out of 38 women
teachers holds.a "power position" in
the public school system while one
in four men' has been promoted.
On' average, women's pensions are.:
lower than men's.
Penfold also.advised• against one
big union which would include •
teachers, aides, psychologists, bus
drivers and custodians.
A( present the 112,000 Ontario:
teachers, over half of the entire Ca-
-nadian.total, speak with one voice
to governnient and the ministry of •
education through the Ontario•
Teachers Federation. Affiliated
- groups address particular needs. In
the rest of Canada, 12 teacher organ-
izations address unique and regional
nerds:
"We have the best oral! possible •
worlds",Venfold said. "When every --
other organization is looking at the
benefits of decentralizing, jt would •
be ridiculous for tis to centralize.
Penfold also touched on other per- .
tinent topics such as multicultural
programs, pay equity and sexual ste-
reotypng in class material as mat-
ters of current concern. •
The four 4's theme
of Institute convention
ST. THOMAS - The 4 R's - Re-
think, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle was

vention of the London Arca .Wom-

Speaking at the Thursday evening

Director of Recycling Council of
Ontario, stated that nature is resil-
ient but we must make changes. In
20 years, there may he no more ma -
plc syrup. Fish and plant life are al-
ready dying. Rain forests, once two-
thirds of the world's land mass, arc
fast disappearing. Children who live
in cities are getting blackened lungs
by the age of 4 or 5. Ambient tox-
ins in food and water arc increasing.
North Americans arc producing
three times the amount of garbage
as folks in Europe. November 14th
this, year marks the beginning of
Recycling Week.
