You have considered your future. You know that the teacher for tomorrow's child must be a person of whom miracles are expected. You have experienced already the demands made of a teacher's time, stamina, creativity, patience and innate optimism. Notwithstanding, you have chosen to become a teacher. Congrat- ulations! May you never regret your decision. At least once every teaching day you will ask yourself Why , Why am l teach- ing? Why am l doing this? Your continuing concern for the Why of educa- tion will always shape the What and How of your teaching. I U The Federation of Women Teachers' Associations of Ontario is pleased to welcome you as associate members of this organization. As you offer your determination, idealism and orientation toward service, so do we offer your resources to assist you in your professional and teaching obligations not only in this year of pre- paration but throughout your career as a public elementary school woman teacher. lVlarion Evans for the 35,000 members of FWTAO Compliments of EMPIRE BOWL 454 Fraser Street lacross from the Empire Motor Hotell North Bay, Ontario Phone: 472-2711 16 Five-Pin Lanes lAll Automaticl OPEN Seven Days A Week 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. Keeping pace with an THE NORTH BAY NUGGET Best Wishes ever changing world .....

Q is Welcome to the teaching profession. I'm Al Robb, President of the Ontario Public School Nlen Teachers' Federation, representing 13,200 members and the Provincial Executive. We're happy to have you join us, and wish you every success in your chosen profession. However, as a principal with 24 years' experience behind me, I can assure you teaching may not be what you expect it to be at times. lf you want an easy time, with plenty of holidays, and a life free from cares and worries, you've come into the wrong line of work. Teaching can be a tough, frustrating, and especially tiring job. But every so often, just enough to keep you in there struggling, the rewards come -- in the form of a shock of under- standing, as a child suddenly learns what it was you were trying to teach him, in the appreciation of a parent assured about his child's progress, in a few words of praise from your principal for a job well done. There are pitfalls, too, and Federation can help you avoid them. And if you do find yourself in a jam, turn to Federa- tion for help. Whether it's a matter of salary negotiations, counselling and relations, professional development, community relations, or any other professional matter, give us a call. We are as close as your nearest telephone or another staff member. These are services we can perform for you. Now, what can you do for us? First, you owe it to your profession and the children in your classes and to the community to give 100 ofo effort to your duties. On top of this, you should become involved in Federation activities. During your first few years of teaching, you may find yourself short of time for any Federation activities beyond the branch or district level. Later, you can enlarge your interests to include activities at the provincial level, where there are committees, the Provincial Executive and the annual Provincial Assembly to occupy your spare time. lt's asking a lot from a new teacher. But remember, the strength of Federation lies in the willingness of its members to devote their time to these volunteer activities. Without volunteers, Federation could not operate. So support your local district activities, attend your meetings, volunteer for committees, and take an active part in Federation affairs. Federation exists to serve you. You are Federation. Help us provide the many services available to every member, from the most recent teachers' college graduate to the retired teacher on superannuation. Federation is people, working for people and better education in Ontario.
