One man’s opinion

Teachers today

By FRED MERRIMAN

Ho hum, diddley dum and here we go again.

The Jeachers wonted a: 27 ) per cent increase over one year. The kids tell
me that dek and that } were not allowed in the
schools before 8:: 40 Py ror and had to vacate the premises during lunch hour,
The now-common words like work to rule, job action and binding arbitration
were part of our breakfast conversation for several weeks, The tax payers, as
represented by the school board, dand led as the f! crun-
ch became reality.

Here is how | see the situation:

1 don’t think the teachers should have to supervise lunch and recess

A

room activities, unless they get paid for their time, | also agree with the
teachers on the subject of work after the “day shift’ HAS finished. | would also
question why it is necessary for teachers to involve themselves in extra-
cirricular activities with or without pay. | was never involved in any extra-
curricular activity while going to school and | don’t feel short-changed.

The teachers should | ave a sey, fy working | conditions. ' understand
that it would be of the local school
board before that is ataitlog Perha; ope ee time is appropriate for the ministry
of education to include working conditions in the bargaining process.

Now for a few negatives: The education process has been allowed to
grow into an all-encompassing system that is expected to educate, entertain
and amuse the children while away from their absent mommys and daddies.

Cookbooks and other things

By LUCY ELLEN EATON

In a_ recent issue of
STROPHES, Wuaneta Hack-
leman, president of the
NSFPS, wrote an interesting
resume of best-sellers from
1934 until the present time.
She had been searching for
the name of any poet that
might have made the best-
seller list in that time. Only
one poet had — Rod McKeun,
for his book LISTEN TO
THE WARM. It had not
made the top 10, however.

She stated that the best-
seller's list for the past
decade has been sensual sex,
cookbooks and weight control
books — and in that order.
“One is forced to wonder
what has gone wrong in the
literary arena in America,”
she lamented.

of the cook-

The teachers have all and their own emp
have encouraged the | ideo — priests, faiher and eho and policeman. They
also shall be p: , boy scout leader and
Sunday school teacher, all rolled into one. I say that is unfair on the teacher.

On this basis, the teachers are completely underpaid. Therefore the
education system is going to require a return to the concept that parents must
take over much more of the education of their children themselves and leave
the teachers to the specifics of the subject for which they are.paid. One senior
educator explained to me that our school system is primarily a socializing ex-
perience. Whatever happened to good old reading, writing and ‘rithmetic?

lalso took Pp of the most mis: hedule of rep
wages as justification for rather ible wage d ds. Anne Jones
made the point that teachers are employed barely nine months. Pernaps she
overlooked the fact that many teachers work 10 and 12 hours a day in those
nine months. Nevertheless, her point is well taken. | know many construction
workers who would make the wages listed if they were steadily employed for
12 months of the year. Most of them are not.

ls construction work more attractive because of good wages? Then |
would suggest those teachers who are unhappy with the disparity should put
on the rain slicker, don the hard hat and walk knee-deep in the mud for most
of the day with roaring machinery and physically burn yourself out by the time
you are 40 or an alcoholic, whichever comes first. Some do make it all the way
through but they are men of steel.

Compare but please be fair. Seek change but please be reasonable —

and professional. J

\

The

book, no doubt, has led to the
big demand for the weight
control books for the calorie-
conscious people who yet
love to eat. There are even
cookbooks written that link
love (in the No. 1 best-seller
sense) with food — two of the
primal urges of man that are
linked to his fleshly frame.

But in that earthen vessel
which is a person's frame,

there is an almost untapped
resource of pleasure... the
mind; and it is more lasting in
its results than the body that
houses it.

Far too long has our edu-
cational system (no doubt
through pressure) exalted
the physical prowess about
the intellectual and artistic.
The child gifted in these lat-
ter respects has been put
down by his peers in such a
way as to cause him or her to
withdraw into a shell. In-
stead of awards for prowess
in these fields, his accom-
plishments are ignored, or he
is scoffingly dubbed “the
brain,” and his company
shunned.

If equal attention and rec-
ognition were given to those
who excelled in this regard —
and opportunities for ad-
vancement, as is given to
hockey and football achiev-
ers, it could result in a
greater intellectual upswing
for Canada.

The annual meeting of the
Robson Women's Institute,
held at the home of Mrs.
Marion Jenner, saw mem-
bers answering roll call by
giving articles for a food
hamper.

It was decided to have a
morning coffee party and
bake sale on Dec. 2 in the
Robson Church Hall at which
time the draw for the hamper
will take place.

A donation was directed to
the Legion Poppy Fund. Con-
vener reports were read
after the secretary's report
by Mrs. Jean Fowler: pub-
licity and cultural convener
— Mrs. Leora Nutter, United
Nations convener — Mrs.
Alice Metcalf, home econ-

also, the

vener — Mrs. Ethel Oborne
and agriculture convener —
Mrs. Phylis Torgelson.
After a short recess for
collection of membership
dues, Mrs. Ethel Oborne took
office to conduct the election
of officers for the 1982 term.
Results as follows: secretary
— Mrs. Jean Fowler, presi-
dent Mrs. Leora Nutter,
vice-president — Mrs. Anne
Kitchin; treasurer — Mrs.
Hazel Chress, directors —
Mrs. Alice Metcalf, Mrs.
Ethel Oborne and Mrs. Scott.
Before the meeting ad-
journed, provisions were
made to have a Christmas
dinner meeting at the Church

Jehovah's witnesses

Meet i

Released by
Jehovah's Witnesses

A two-day convention will
be held at the Cominco Gym-
nasium in Trail, Nov. 21 and
22 as Jehovah's Witnesses
from Trail and the surround-
ing West Kootenay area as-
semble for Bible instruction
and counsel on Christian
subjection.

To help those in atten-
dance to understand the
Christian position in the the-
ocratic arrangement of

n Trail

ing this by public water bap-
tism. On Saturday afternoon,
the principle of theocratic
subjection found at 1 Corin-
thians 11:3 is the basis for the
portion, “Theocratic Subjec-
tion Yields Peaceable Fruit.”

It will show how each
person in attendance has a
relative position in this over-
all arrangement and that by
applying this principle in
their daily lives, in the fam-
ily, the congregation and in
their dealings with the sec-

things as d with the
growing spirit reflecting in-
dependence and lack of dis-
cipline, the program is ap-
propriately themed, “Sub-
jecting Ourselves to God”.
Under the auspices of two
travelling representatives
from the new Watchtower
Headquarters in George-
town, Ont., Larry Gray and
Raymond Zwidayk, the pro-
gram will follow a two-fold
purpose. First, to instili in
the hearts of the listeners the
desire to build up in them-
selves the determination to
follow this theme and second,
to help them realize the
blessings and privileges they
can receive as a result of
their theocratic subjection.
On Saturday morning,
newer Witnesses will ex-
press their desire to “subject
themselves to God” indicat-

ular h » it will yield
peaceable fruit.

The main public address
will be given by Gray on
Sunday afternoon.

All interested persons are
invited to join Jehovah's
Witnesses for this weekend
of spiritual activity. Refresh-
ments will be provided at

usual gifts for the Children's

Hospital Christmas cheer.
Mrs. Phylis Torgelson was

last June is a prime example
of what a joke Canada’s
corrections system has be-
come, according to a retired
British Columbia judge.

Les Bewley, who resigned
after 21 years as a B.C.
provincial court judge out of
frustration with the criminal
justice system, said academ-
ies and sociologists have

the last 15 years into im-
plementing a series of half-
baked reform programs.
Bewley said two mistakes
surface in the Odo case: his
original five-year sentence
for raping a nine-year-old girl
was too short and “the
‘supervision’ in ‘mandatory
supervision’ is a vast joke.”

Bewley has been writing
and travelling across Canada
since his retirement, adovcat-
ing sweeping changes in the

broken bits of bagatelle,
soiled,
undesirable —- even
repulsive,

Others are like enticingly

market,
