The Canad ian Statesman, Bowmanville. Oct. 10. 1973 13 Wins -Boxing Trophies in Toronto Everything you need to make it on your own Carefree, carpet' The young man peering rnenacingly from behind the boxing gloves is 12-year-old Paul, Camnpbell, who recently won the trophies on display beside him at a Pro-Arn Boxing competition sponsored by a Toronto TV station. Paul, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Campbell of Solina Road, boxed in the under-85 pound weight class at the tournament put on by CITY-TV, Channel 79, -on Saturday, September 29th, and picked up two wins and a draw. Paul is a Grade Seven student at M. J. Hobbs Senior Public School, he's been learning the fine art of fistieuffs at the O'Reilly Boxing Club and the North East Athletic Club, both located in Oshawa. Veteran Rotarian Has Seen Many Changes in El ectrical The Rotary axiam that "The best speakers ta address us came fram withîn :aur awr club" held true once again or Thursday, Sept, 27tb, as one of the senior Rtarians took to the podium ta give a classifi- cation talk about bis profes- sion - electrical contracting. Garnet Rickard did the honors of introducing "an ald ai d dear friend," Dave Hig- gon. Rickard and Higgon bath joined the club 27 years aga, in 1946, and they served consecu- tive terms as President Higgon in 1951-52 and Rickard thif -q ar after. trsatrue Rotarian," sa U-'ickard. "Hle neyer courts praise for h'imself but, ~quietly and effectively, be always gets the job done." Higgon has been an electri- cal cantractor for a gaod many years. He has seen mnany changes in the industry since he first began in 1945, after buying out Bowmanville' Electricians and estabiishing Higgan Electric. When be started bis career, the standard household serv- ice was a 60 amp system with perhaps 30 outlets. Now, witb the advent of more and heavier home appiiaiîces, new homes are equipped witb 100 amp systems and as many as 80 ta 100 autiets. In the nat-too-distant future, Higgan foresees 200 amp systems becoming standard in many homes. The aid knob and tooth wiring has been replaced by a mare modern variety but Higgon feels rather strongly that the prablem wasn'twith the old type of wire but with cu~stomer abuse. "Over-fussing always cre- ates a bad situation," he asserted. "The 15 amp fuse is the standard but many people put in 30 amp fuses and think tbey'll get twice the power. What they'll really get is twice the trouble."' Over-fusing means the wir- es wîll tend to over-heat and eventualiy melt their insula- tion. This causes the wiring ta wear out much sooner and the risk of shorting out and electricai fires ils greatly increased. Residential installations used ta be served by a series of overhead wires. They were replaced by a single twisted overhead wire which brings the power into the home and the trend now is to under- ground wiring. For example, Higgan pointed out that all new sub divisions in Bowman- ville are using underground services,' which, of course, includes electrical wires. "It's sam'ethîng we've been pushing for years," he added. "The development of elec- tric heat bas put us into the heating business," continued Hliggon. %"It's a 'very dlean heat, aliows individual roam heating and eliminates the nieed for a basement area far a furnace." ,' He indicated there are a variety of ways of instaliing electric' heating.

No more Grade 13 By 1980 Pretdi.cts Education Minister Grade 13 may became a thing of the past within the next few years, Education Minister Thomas Wells said recently. In speaking at the Progress- ive Conservative Policy Con- ference at York University here, Mr. Wells said tbe introduction of the credit system in 1972 bas aliowed more students ta earn enough course credits ta obtain their secondary schaol Honours Graduation Diplama in less that five years. "I believe that Grade 13 as we know it taday wiil change drasticaly, if not virtually disappear," said Mr. Wells. Ministry of Education stat- istics showed that two-thîrds of the students who obtained Grade 12 diplomas this year bad more that the required 27 credits. In f act, 11,000 students accumulated 31 credits or more. "The effect of this trend on an isalated Grade 13 year is obviaus. It wan't be long until many more students are earning the 33 credits for the Hanours diploma in four years," hie said. The Education Minister pre- dicted that b y the end of this decade, Grade 13 wiil cease ta exist, even without Govern- ment regulations ta banish it from existence. In other remarks ta the 200 conference delegates, Mr. Wells said the employment and job appartunity situation for Ontario teachers will stabilize in the 1970's, but that, the present teacher surplus is likely ta continue for a few years. He 1 aid hie believes the competition among teachers for jobs will ensure that better canaiares obtain jobs, thus imroing the quality of euaion. Other major trends farseen by Mr., Wells are a freer access ta scbool facilities for parents and other aduits interested in continuing edu- cation pragrams, develop- ment of alternatives ta formai classroom learning that wouid iead ta opportunities for secondary school students ta earn course credits outside the schaol, and a less militant stand an the part of teachers in Ontario.
