cet K' o57.U a rxr.MllK8K Held at the Howard school audi- torium in Wlmette last Saturday afternoon, the second meeting of the School Emnployees association turn- ed out to be a far bigger affair than wvas expected. About one bundred men and women attended and twelve more sehool districts. were enrolled. That the movement is being en- thusiasticàlly receivedà was evidenc-ý ed by the announced- determination of ýdelega tes to. .form units. in- dis- tricts far removed"from the North Shore,, and to taàke in ail. school employees not under any. présent pension plan., Requests were receiv- ed from secretaries, stenographers, cooks, engineers and bus, drivers asking *for consideration, and the -meeting unanimously decided to ad- mit them ail. Making a clear-cut explanation of the aims of the association,-3peak- ers challenged critics and obstrue- +tionists to. corne outt in. the .open,, definitely silenced the alleged threat of a union, and. stated that laws covering municipal empioyees. did not affect schools. He also stated that the public should realize that school employees are ineligible andexempt under the Social Security Act, can- not corne undér Civil Service, and that although school boards are probably paying salaries as high as as possible, they are certainly not high enough for any family man to insure bis sevurity in old age, and these eniployees canùiot see why they should not receive thie same treat- ment as tea chers. The next meeting will probably be held Saturday. 4-H Club Menbers Will.
