myself. Mr. Diefenbaker told -Ontario- County District Col- Continued country, Canada, "I started|F school at Greenwood, Ont., not far from here, where my father was a teacher," he said. He was the only Canadian fortunate enough to teach two future Prime Ministers. He taught McKenzie King, and how he entered the House of Commons in 1940. In 1960 he said, "I brought in legislat- ion, to build technical schools, of which the government would pay 75% of the build- ing cost. This school is a fine example of what this legislat- ion has done to further educat- ion in the technical field. "No history in the world can equal the glamour and excitement of Canadian history," he said, and urged the students to learn the history of Canada to their fullest. ' Mr. Diefenbaker also show- ed his humorous side, as he related some of his past exper- ience in government. "One time while being introduced as a guest speaker in Van- couver, the M.C. forgot my Students, Teachers Attentive Listeners To A Stil Going Strong' J. Diefenbaker name" {17 said. He was a local Ford. dealer; and. after carry- ing the introduction on for about nirie minutes a glimmer of light came to his eyes. He said Ladies and Gentlemen, without further delay, I give you Mr. John Studebaker. 'When in Enfland, on an official visit, Prince Andrew, a 4 year old at that time was introduced to Mr. Diefen- baker. In front of many dignitaries, from various countries, the young Prince put his hands up with clench- ed fists, and said, "Do you wanna fight"? Mr. Diefenbaker said it was very strange, but after that incident, Prince Andrew was not seen again that day. Mr. Diefenbaker told how he had met Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier, when he was a boy of 14 years. He said he was a newspaper boy at the time and he was called over to the Prime Minister's car, where the topic of conver- sation became the native country of Canada. After 40 minutes I stood up and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Prime Minister but I can-not waste any mo time with you; I have work t do," and I went back to sellin my papers, "One of the things that has| stayed with me from my early childhood, was the definition of the word Freedom, which I at 14 years old personally interpreted. "Freedom is the right to be wrong, but not the right to do wrong". "If you do not remember any- thing else I have said today, always remember that and live by it", Mr. Diefenbaker con- cluded. Mr. Diefenbaker was given a second standing ovation at the end of his talk, and then the school orchestra, which had played 'The Queen" at the beginning of the program- me, played another piece for the guests. Mr. and Mrs. Diefenbaker, Mr. and Mrs. Aldred and Mrs, Valerie Butt, were then inyit- ed to have coffée and sand- wiches, in the teacher'slounge, before returningtoOttawa.

March 5 1970 - A. Edinborough Speaker by Lenore Hawley, D.P.R.O. Arnold Edinborough, Guest Speaker at the Professional Development Day of District 17 of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation (Ontario County), sees TV as the biggest single influence on our students. Mr. Edinborough said that he sometimes asks himself if children after the age of four will believe any adult. He feels that children have a complete cynicism for the world of business and for the whole of affairs, in fact, Tor any person who says what he is paid to say. Mr. Edinborough pointed out that a Fordham University Study has shown that a young- ster in the United States has watched four thousand hours of TV before he gets into any classroom. Mr. Edinborough feels that the youngsters watch TV for their first twelve or thirteen years and then turn for sports. This Mr., Edinbor - ough sees as the result of what he calls Urbanization. In the Ottawa-Montreal-Toronto tri- angle many people live in an apartment, and often both the father and mother work. The result of this is that in many homes the children spend a great deal of time watching TV and take their models from the TV. Along with this development Mr. Edinborough sees a tremend- ous erosion of old authorit- arian views in the school, the home and the Church. Mr. Edinborough is certain- ly not upholding the old authoritarian view in the school. However, he feels that there are other ns that mended a much more intel- ligent view-of grading, a dis- missal of rigidity, more indiv- idualism in schools and a rad- ical rethinking of curriculum. He stated that schools must reorganize completely on the basis of the gradeless school and that the system of educ- ation must become much more rounded and much less struct- ured than it is now. Mr. Edin- borough said that without sacrificing some of the disci- plines that lead to self-disci- pline, teachers must find some way of getting students to go to school because they want to go. Mr. Edinborough point- ed out that 'teachers are a strong force in the province and said bluntly, "Take collective action if you run into individual roadblocks." Mr. Edinborough also said that students should be given some voice in planning. Mr. Edinborough was intro- duced by Mr. Bruce Robert- son of the Dr. F.J. Donevan Collegiate Institute and thank- ed by Mr. Peter Carswell of the O'Neill Collegiate. Some of the interesting speakers in the subjectsections were Mr. Michael Kusner of Ryerson Polytechnical Instit- ute in the Geography section; Mr. Tom Patterson of the Stratford Festival in the Eng- lish section; Mr. Douglas Wil- liams, Head of the Ontario Food Council in the Home Economics section, Professor Einsberg from O.1.S.E. in the History section; Mr. Jack So far we've learned how to treat an .injured person, make slings, and how to ob- tain an "emergency... sterile cloth.
