themselves into position where they can be selected for promotion Mrs Nelson said But few women respond to the push personally never restricted myself to anything in my own mind she said But then was not brought up just to be girl Sex conditioning begins for most women when they are still babes in arms They are taught to lose gracefully at tennis to wait to be asked to dance to defer hold back and not be ag gressive challenging threaten ing They are conditioned not to compete She urged women teachers to select persons of acknowledged competence and give them full support in their bids for higher positions or even political of ice as school trustees Confidence comes from con fidence shown she said Youve got to hang in there with them through 17 rejec tions it necessary HAVENT IIANGEI Just because weve had Gloria Steinem around for few years things havent changed that much for wom en she said Im thinking of the infant day care centres closed recently by Metro Toron to council and the members who said women belong at home anyway Im also think ing of that judge who dismissed the testimony of 45yearold woman because she was at thatage Mrs Nelson said she had decrded to run again for board of education because she was fed up seeing policies she had been successful in having adopted do nothing but sit on the books Policies offering dif ferent patterns of employment are not being acted upon she said SUPERANNLAIION She said she hopes to go to work on the superannuation issue to make it possible for people to retire early without forfeiting such great portion of their pension Five per cent is deducted for every year not fulfilled under present rules This will be of benefit not only to women but men as well Mrs Nelson said Peo ple in the visual and perform ing arts for instance would find it possible to work half time and pursue their other career halftime They would return to the classroom as bet ter teachers bringing new wealth of oxywriencc and en thusiasm to the students We have been to puritanical and punitive in restricting peo ples life cxmriences We must open up the horizons of people in the professions she said Guidelines needed on moral issues leachers have to help establish moral values in students because in many cases nobody else d008 says Dr John Meycr of the Universi ty of Windsor Society by default has forced education to try and do something about morals said Dr Meyer He was speaking to about 30 teachers at Banting Memorial High School in Alliston Friday on morals in education as part of teachers professional development lay lr Meyer said some families do not provide adequate in struction in moral education and their children turn to their teachers for standards of right and wrong Public education has to be concerned to some degree with social values the underpinn ings of society or its not of much use he said This is not brand new phenomenon Ir Meyer said He said teachers have always included moral instruction when teaching subjects if on an informal basis Now in many areas guide lines have been established to standardize moral education hesaid Its an attempt to systemically integrate moral programs into the existing curriculum he said Dr Meyer listed number of moral values which ideally are taught through the educa tion system social responsibili ty honesty the worth of self and family selfcontrol responsibility of action and impect for the freedoms of others He cited the need for control on teaching guidelines to pre vent some teachers from em phasizing one particular aspect and disregarding others Association plans party The Iluronia and District branch of the Canadian Diabetic Association is holding family Christmas party for diabetics their families and friends The party is being held

world Dear Ann Landers Im one who plauds the idea of teaching children how to cope with real fe situations in the classrooms You are right when you say its the only chance some kids have But Im little fearful of what he or she wants to teach the children You printed letter recently which said Most parents are too embarrassed or uninformed to deal with subjects like masturbation and Funny Uncles

good have to confess am one of THEM We dont usually like to be named We skulk round corners waiting for the right moment to do our terrible deed We try to hide our dark secret but the truth will come out am meterfeeder Its not that really want to be one please understand that Lets face it it gets pretty expensive and quarters are sometimes hard to come buy But manage tried to quit really did Iwent to my boss and explained my problem Shes very understanding lady She sent me to city hall to get municipal parking per mit Proudly stuck my sticker in the upper right hand cor ner of my windshield and thought was cured the agony of realization Everything was fine at first Each morning found place to park and felt that belong ed Then one cold morning in September came disillusion ment In the length and breadth of the municipal parking lot there was not one single space left at least not for the hum ble proletariat such as myself Bewildered rked in the regular lot collected $2 ticket But ha faith in the system had always believed in the ultimate justice went to city hall and explained my predicament The young lady behind the desk was pleasant and courteous She sympathiz ed with me She even suggested that arrive at my place of employment an hour early in order to secure parking spot remembered the needs of my fairly large family in the morning and rejected that idea And as gently pointed out do not have the advantage of finishing my day at 430 pm as do city hall employees Often work until well after f3 pr1n That makes long day We agreed that life was dif icu With twohour limit on
