Clinton News-Record, 1977-05-19, Page 22t'Aut. 2A--CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1977 Retiringteachers honored The Huron Association of Federation of Women Teachers of Ontario honored three retiring teachers: Mrs. Eluned McNair of Grey Central School; Mrs. Margaret Tyreman, Brussels and Mrs. Amy McCrostie, Colborne Central at their annual meeting May 3. Business was conducted by the president, Mrs. Mary Huother, Brussels, who in- troduced head table guests including:,. D.J. Cgtchrane, Director of Education for Huron County; Mrs. Marian Zinn, Vice-chairman of Huron County Board of Education; Mrs. Lillian Thompson, Wiarton, Director of Region 1, F.W.T.A.O. Mrs. Jeanne Frolick, Provincial President of F.W.T.A.O., and Dr. Florence Henderson, Executive Secretary of F.W.T.A.O. The highlight of the meeting was a discussion on the pros and cons of Amalgamation of the provincial men's and women's teacher association, which will be voted on in June. Mrs. Frolick in speaking against Amalgamation stressed the value of cooperation between rather than amalgamation of O.P.S. and F.W.T.A.O. Doug Pearson, an O.P.S. panel member, felt amalgamation would end duplication of services and offices at all levels of Federation. He felt an amalgamated group could "speak with one voice to the people, to the boards and to the governtient." Dr. Florence Henderson firmly stated that,"for the time being F.W.T.AO. should remain the, autonomous organization which it has been since 1918." She stressed the value of F.W.T.A.O. to women, as a professional organization which will "allow you to become highly competent as possible in pursuing your role as an educator.' She pointed_ out te vast differences in the career patterns of men and women and advised that "when our career patterns become more alike, then there may be a time for amalgamation." She urged that F.W.T.A.O. members not give up "the one organization which allows you entry, allows you to stay and develop as a teacher." F.W.T.A.O. as a protective organization is needed to "support women in pursuit of a cared in cooperation with other affiliates of O.T.F." John Mann as a, proponent of amalgamation proposed that inequalities felt by F.W.T.A.O. members were "due to forces outside the profession." He questioned, "if the public sees us divided inside; the profession, will this attitude change?" Other panel members replying were Rick Whiteley and Dave Medd from O.P.S. and Carol Simons for F.W.T.A.O.
