Add to this weekend hops in one of company's small chart- ered planes to any point within flying distance and the middle east sounds like an attractive place to work. . But there are drawbacks, said Miss McMinn. It is necessary to become an American citizen to qualify for many of these highâ€"paying jobs. She is a native Torontonian. It is also necessary to live in a camp compound surrounded by high walls with one gate; no women were allowed to drive their cars outside the gate. Re- ligious taboos in Arabia about woman are still fundamental. So it was necessary to appr- oach the job with the philosophy it would provide the maximum vacation for the maximum money to enjoy it. she said. She told one story of being caught driving away from the camp area and had the misfor- tune to pass in his car. the local emir. “I couldn't do anything but wave and say hello. He looked startled but he returned my wave and drove on. It would have meant instant dismissal from the job but nothing was ever said." she recalled. 0n sight seeing tours to the nenrby bazaars in El “use on the Persian Gulf, to Tehernn and Dhahran.

In place of classes at Sunday school Mrs. C. Lee presented an excellent film strip titled. Jerusalem in Jesus Day. The pictures were particularly good depicting clearly the manner of living in that period. The agricultural methods were not so far removed from our own pioneer days. Fig and olive} trees were as familiar to he farming economy as apples and potatoes are to us but the meth- od of pressing out the oil would find competition severe to- iday.

Lying high above the long rob} ling breakers of the Mediterran-I ean. Biblos has been the home and port for Venetians, Egypt- ians, Persians. Byzantines and Arabs for centui'ies. It is about 20 miles north of Beirut. Mlss McMinn called it one of the truly living ruins where it took little imagination to pic- ture what that city was like when inhabited. There she bought her most treasured link with the past . . . a diminutive figure of an Egyptian jack- al goddess whose age 1 Roy- al Ontario Museum official put at 1,000 B.C.

Board Opposes Hiring} ‘Pig-in-a Poke' Teachers! RichnTond Hill Public School Board is strongly opposed to hiring student teachers before they graduate. A new ruling in the Ontarioi School Trustees‘ Council‘s code of ethics indicates. it will be considered unethical if school boards advertise for teachers for next September before Feb- ruary 26 or to interview or en- gaze them before February 29. But the ruling. according to School Superintendent Gordon McIntyre says nothing about the usual practice of hiring teachers’ colleges' graduates in early May. “This indicates boards will‘ be free to engage all new staff members at the end of this month.” Mr. McIntyre said in his report to last Thursday's trustees‘ meeting. On January 31, Mrs. Edgar Woods died at her Steeles Ave- nue farm home following a brief illness. The former Leeta Miller. Mrs. Woods was a resident of the Buttonvllle neighbourhood for many years. She and her husband, who predeceased her some years ago, farmed the land opposite German Mills Road on the south side of Steeles. At one time Mrs. Woods was a member of the Buttonville WI. She is survived by her sons Melville, Frederick and Rae of Don Mills and a sister Evelyn in Vancouver. ’Mrs. E.

Mr. McIntyre said. i The superintendent said such a ruling leaves collete officials in the position of not being able to assess student teachers. Hire Blindly He also said school boards‘ would have to hire blindly and hOpe their choice was among the graduates or wait until May 1 and run the risk that all good students at the colleges had been hired. He said the Ontario Council’s move may have been prompted by a desire to help out smaller. more faraway boards who have difficulty hiring good teachers.

Last year, nine experienced teachers were hired and 14 student teachers. The Ontario Council has re- commended local boards keep their “Help Wanted" advertis- ements down to the classified variety and not the “semi-dis- play" variety. “If a teacher wants to live in Richmond Hill, he'll find our ads," said one trustee.
