The world's population will increase by the year 2006 to a total of over 7,000 million if the current annual growth rate is maintained. - By July 1969Ue global population reached a total of 3,552 million, representing an increase of 69 million over the previous 12 month period. 4 Wooden Grumman. mud”, Scam-23. 1971 Taking her advice is Edith MacIntosh of Kit- chener, an alderman and housewife, running on the Conservative bill. If the liberation movement has done nothing else but encourage women to stand up and run for election, it has been worthwhile. Of the women running, six are NDP, five are I?ogressi.ve Conservative, and three are Liber- als. ' Whether or not they are elected will tell if the public is ready to accept women as political figures. The Women's Liberation Movement, in many cases exaggerated and trivial, has turned many people, men and women against equal rights for the female. But movements like burning the bra aren't quite as serious as abortion, day care programs and job equality - political issues needing a woman's point of view. Men, have been making decisions on issues that effect women for too long. Most experienced of the women candidates, Margaret Renwick, and NDP member in 1967 for Toronto-Scarborough Centre riding ad- Vises women to "run and run hard, with confi- dence." There has never been, in the history of Ont- ario, more than two women sitting in the legis- lature at any one time. Only four women have captured provincial seats in the province's his- tory. Fourteen female candidates, therefore, is a notable step in the direction of woman's right to speak and be heard. There has never been a female cabinet min- ister. The Oct. 21 Ontario election could reflect on how acceptable or unacceptable, the women's liberation movement is to the people of Ontario. 'There are 14 women candidates running for legislative seats in the provincial election. If three of the candidates are successful, a record will beset.

These are pretty impor- tant areas in a school that size. Did you ever try to teach poetry with a jackhammer blasting a few feet away? It's like trying to have an elegant garden party in the middle of a monsoon. Did you ever try to teach anything in a room that has one naked light bulb at the back and is so full of some- body else's junk (equip- menu. that you couldn't see your students even if you had lights? Just to compound the con- fusion. the numbers of all the rooms have been changed. Thus. my old room, 269, is now E202 or 204, I'm still not sure But during the summer, the termites, the inside workers, got into the mau- soleum and the result, for a while at least, is complete chaos. The termites are the elec- tricians, plumbers, floor and ceiling men and others of that ilk. If you aren't tripping over an electric cable or walking through some fresh-poured con- crete, youve liable to be showered with sparks by a welder working overhead. which It wasn‘t so bad during last winter and spring, be- cause most of the construe- tion was outside: brick piling and steel work. In fact, it was quite lively, especially in the spring, with the Italian workers ogling the girls through the windows and being ogled back, and drinking beer on the job, and yelling and laughing. A new addition, about the third since I came here, was in its glorious death throes. That means it might be finished in six months. It was begun a year ago. . Teaching in our school this fall has been a combi- nation of walking the plank and running the gauntlet. When school opened, a- bout fifteen hundred kids and eighty teachers walked into something that looked as though the Irish Repub- lican Army had been using it for a couple of years as a testing ground for bombs. Bill Smiley It seems to me school architects are in a class by themselves, like carpenters who would never tackle anything bigger than an out-door privy. However, there's always a bright side to things. The public address system is not working. The bells are not working. These are two boons, and I hope they never get them working. In the proposed cafeto- rium the windows were sealed off because it was to be air-conditioned. Then it was learned that it would- n't be air-conditioried. Can you imagine what it will be like in there with the smells of cooking and five hundred bodies on a hot day. Perhaps I wrong them. Perhaps they are hampered by rigid budgets. But I can't imagine any firm that specializes in designing schools, being asked to build something that com- bined aesthetics and utility. None of the teachers has gone stir-crazy yet. despite the architect's fetish for windowless rooms. In fact, there's a certain gaiety and esprit de corps among the staff, the sort of thing that always emerges in a great disaster, like a bombing blitz or a paralyzing bliz- They can wander through the ruins, pretend they got lost, chat with the work- men, and be late for class. That's living. Time was, when a little grade-niner f would ask, "Sir, can you tell me where Mr, Jacklin's room is." I would answer with sublime confidence, "Sure. Just along the hall to the boiler room, turn right, and it's about three doors down on your left." Now, I haven't a clue where, and the place is so big I couldn't tell the kid how to get there if I did know. It took me half an hour to find the new staff lounge, which turned out to be a square, bleak, underground hole with no windows and a couple of light bulbs hang- ing from the ceiling. And the kids love it. Kids love confusion, especially in their teens, when they begin to resent regulations. rules and rigidity. At present the Province of Ontario pays a percent- age of the CAS budget, the rest met by the municipa- lity. (The 1971 budget of the Guelph-Wellington CAS is $5744,568 with the coun- ty share $3.570). The 52 societies are administered by boards, countywide ex- cept for the large cities, of citizens and must include a certain number of munici- pal councillors. Actual work with children is done by professional staff. often The report brought out into the open a long sim- mering conviction held by many in the community that any function fiannced almost entirely by tax dol- lars should not be man- aged by amateurs.
