Retired teachers keep busy.

Sun

Some West Kootenay
teachers may be retired but
they are by no means retir-
ing. A luncheon mecting of
the Trail and District Retired
Teachers Association (Trail,
Rossland, Fruitvale and
Castlegar) was held recently
at the Crown Point Hotel.

Retired feachers listened

iastically to a di

by Castlegar author Vi Plot-
nikoff, discussed plans for a
library of education and
sponsored two past-presi-
dents-—-Emmelene Richards
and Verna Little—for recog-
nition at the 50th anniversary
eélebrations of the British
Columbia Retired Teachers
Association this spring in
Vancouver.

The retired teachers also

ppointed two pew reti
from their ranks to speak at
the April seminar in Castlegar
and made plans for their own
annnal general meeting to be
held in June in Rossiand.

Vi Plotnikoff is the author

of the very.popular collection
of short stories Head Cook at
Weddings and Funerals the
stories of a young Doukhobor
girl growing up in the com-
munity environment of a gen-
eration ago.

The book was published lat
last fall, has received many
encouraging reviews in the
media, and is already well
into its second printing, 11 is
also on the reading list of
both Selkirk College English
programs and a college in
Japan, and is being consid-
ered by the provincial Min-
istry of Education.

Plotnikoff read selections
from her book and she was

ived with great enth
In thanking her, Polly Corbett
said, “My only regret is that this
book wes not published when I
was a librarian in the Twin
Rivers Elementary School.”

The rapid disappearance of
early school artifacts—desks,
classroom equipment and par-
ticularly books—was one of
the main topics at the annual
meeting of the British
Columbia Retired Teachers

held last year in Vancouver
and attended by local presi-
dent Bunny Charters,

The Trail and District
Retired Teachers Associations
is initiating platts for a local
education museum and anyone
having items to donate is
asked to contact Bunny Char-
ters in Castlegar or Art Win-
stanley in Trail,

In a related area, and of
much interest to the retired

teachers, the Trail Heritage”

Society is collecting biogra~
phies of pioneers. At the
request of the president, Art
Winstanley and Frankie
Thomas have made arrange-
ments to have representatives
of the society speak at the
arrival dinner meeting to be
held in Rossland in June
Finally, at the Hi Arrow
Hotel recently, new retirees
and appointed speakers Bill
Hanlon of Trail and Judy
Campbell of Castlegar told
very receptive retirees and
prospective retirees at the
retirement seminar of their
new careers. Both speakers
and audience had a great time.

Dear Ann Landers: My
sweetheart and I have
decided to marry. “Dan”
wants to elope. I can
understand why. He knows
that his mother and sister
both despise me and that I
don’t want to invite them
to our wedding.

Dan’s mother ruined his
sister’s wedding because
she hated the groom. The
problem is that I am my
father’s only child, and I
feel it is important for him
to walk me down the aisle.

I don’t want a lonely
elopement, but neither do I
want to suffer through a ter-
ribly tense wedding. P.S. I
can’t stand his family. —
Weary in the West

Dear Weary: Have the
wedding. You'll be glad
you did. And please try to
improve your relationship
with Dan’s family. Bat-
tling with in-laws puts a
dead hand on a marriage
from the start.

Dear Ann Landers:
After all the discussion
about children at weddings,
you have not printed the
solution —' provide a nurs-
ery. Many churches already
have a nursery. Hire two or
three staff members to look
after or entertain the babies
and small children. Nobody
feels left out, and the cere-
mony is not interrupted.
That is the way it is done
here. — A Loyal Reader in
Hattiesburg, Miss.

Dear Hattie: What a
splendid idea. It certain-
ly beats listening to a
child scream over the
organ music. Thanks for
sending it on.
