OUR READERS WRITE Board decision arbitrary Dear Sir recent decision of the WellinRton County Board of education not to rehire Lome Brown as principal of Erin Union public school is yet another example of the insensitive and arbitrary acts perpetrated on the public of this county by this Board Being aware of the high esteem in which he is held by the citizens of the area it is to be hoped local members of the bonrd did not support the scheme to replace Mr Brown The decision not to reapply for a letter of permission to maintain Mr Brown as principal of public school a position he has held for years came not from any lack competence as a teacner or to administer but because he lncks a B A degree The Ontario Department of has decreed that all public school teachers will be expected to have a minimum of A in order to tench in our public school It would appear that that policy Is to be enforced first amongst school principals Whether or not the people of wish Mr Brown to head their school has no relevance the matter Is purely legalistic and urea cm tic However despite the edict from the of It would appear that the final decision rests with local boards of education otherwise the Wellington County Board would not have bothered upon it decision of the Boird is in outrage to the citizens of I rin Township and to citizens everywhere for there Is no Justice In it Merit is not considered because If it is it would appear to make no difference The assumption Is that makes a teacher better What nonsense There ore many ways to become an educated and cultured man the least of which is a A This action on the part of the County Board of I must surely be a strong argument any kind of and this Includes Government Perhaps vcrtcnlly this will awaken sleeping to accountability from those they elect to manage their of fairs Whatever the case the Wellington County Board should reverse its decision forthwith ind reinstate Mr Brown as I school for as long as the people there

the Garden of Down into the old city and a walking tour to the Wailing Wall and through the Bazaar where the salesmen have to be the eastern aggressive brand Children are Just as tenacious in their begging Clutter noise and smells are what remain with me from that tour along the narrow bazaar streets Our entrance to the old walled city had been through the Dung Gate We visited the church of the Holy Sepulchre where Greek Armenian and Roman Churches share sections Mounting steep steps we are told this was and descending on the other side we approached the tomb where Jesus la supposed to have been laid Crouching my way In with three others we were greeted by an Orthodox priest colic tin money for the restoration of the church here in what should have been the of places I was dismayed and dis gusted In crowding out I was blocked by ranks of priests with lighted candles J vine their picture token 1 whs moved with disgust with the whole scene left the holy city through the Jaffa gate Jerusalem history toes back years It has been coveted and fought over by Babylonians Macedonians and a great number of other conquerors have fluttered across its bloody and anguished pus Jerusalem

Jewish nation new pride and augmented their sense of walling wall Is considered to be part of Solomons temple which rested on the summit of Mount Munah This section of the wall escaped the razinc by Titus who toppled some of the blocks but approximately 11 luyers the block have ben excavated and art considered to date back over years We left the walled city with its history and drove by tombs in the Valley of Jehoso The Valley is also known as the Valley of the Kings because David Solomon and other lungs of Israel are believed to have been buried there in huge tombs like smallscale pyranuds but in much grander outward form Our bus was again roaring along the Israel countryside to keep an appointment the Tarshish Restaurant at Jaffa where we were to meet the military spokesman for the Israel defence forces Special undertakings were signed to Insure would not attribute direct tatements to him and our information would be used for Our dinner wps at a restaurant with a oily atmosphere but the food was native and As we traded questions and answers time flew and some elementary conclusions emerged will be little change in the boundary established in the six ddj war by Israel If there was to be any iivc and take for settlement we felt it would certainly not be in the area of the Golan Heights which we had travelled and where we had seen new roads constructed and new irrigation projects undertaken Nor would it be alone the inks of the Jordan where the children of the kibbutz were now able to sleep in rel itive ice for the first tune in their lives If there was to be much change in boundaries we to conclude it would be in the areas of the Sinai although we had not visited it particular area of the country Al the end of another short we were up for an carl breakfast and a briefing on the press of Israel which operates under licence and in a country where censorship exists in the interests of national security Aboard bus again for a tour of Tel and through Jaffa and Bat Yam where there was sharp contrast Downtown areas which appeared to be slums were being re developed and south of Bat Yam the sand dunes were with five and six storey accommodation Single family houses were scarce or non existent and it appeared that accommodation was all of the multi family apartment building type A brief stop downtown in Tel Aviv allowed us to soak up the atmosphere of the modern core of that city Narrow roads were augmented by wide sidewalks The bright warm sun of that day attracted crowds to the sidewalk cafes which were the It was a pleasant mall like area en sharp contrast with what we had seen in the crowded of Jerusalem Shops were modern and the toods offered were attractive Continued THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY at Jerusalem dramatically emphasizes the newness that
