Seclion Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, February 14, 197e 9 ;Stress Unity 0f Canada, Parents Say The importance of a unified Canada should be stressed at each grade level, agreed members of the Newcastle Public Sehool parent advisory committee at a recent meeting. Children should also be allowed to watch television events of national importance,- they said, such as the in- vestiture of the governor general. Some parents were 'ipset to learn their children ' ý;ere not given an opportunity to watch this ceremony. These points were raised during a review of the en- viromnental studies program which includes the subjects history, geography and scien- ce. At every grade level, from primary to six, some aspect of Canadian history, geography and culture is studied. Another ongoing theme is con- servation and pollution con- trol. Enviroamental studies curriculum is based on a Ministry of Education booklet entitled "The Formative Years." The objectives of the program as laid down in this booklet ýare: to teach an un- derstan ding of social relation- ships ât a level appropriate to the . student's stage- of development, to instill in the students anunderstanding of the >enviromnent both in terms of the nature of its parts and of the patterns that characterize it as a whole and to help them to acquire a reasoned knowledge of and pride in Canada. Two interesting environ- WyIns -Color TV, in Shoppers Drug Mart Draw A Newcastle couple, recently won this 20 inch color television in a draw sponsored by Shoppers Drug Mart in Bowmanville. Phyllis Mummery, of North St., Newcastle, had ber name selected at a recent draw held in connection with the opening of the store. Last week, the prize was presented. From left to right are: Peter Pridie, store manager, Mrs. Mummery, ber husband, Sid.and Bob Driscoli, merchandise Manager at Shoppers Drug Mart. mental concepts for ail levels, pointed out vice-principal Bob Trennum, are "man the chooser", and "constant change." Under the first heading, studies that examine the importance of choice in man 's use of the earth inevitably lead to questions of values of individuals in, society. "If we really worked on this concept", said Prin- cipal Ed Taylor, "and built on it fromn year to year we would probably have a people «that could cope with different aspects of society as it is today." The concept of constant change examines the degree and effects of change in the world. Newsy 's Stili an Institution From Toronto Star This is the story of two in- stitutions, one of them a big and im- portant Canadian bank, the other a littie bit of a guy named Orville Ha Mm, (formerly of Bowmanville). _Orville, who is 56, and the Bank of Nova Scotia get along splendidly. Indeed, they do business - Orville selling newspapers, the bank banking - at the same spot in Toron- to, the southeast corner of Yonge St. and St. Clair Ave. But it might have turned out dif- ferently. Orville has been selling The Star at Yonge and St. Clair for 23 years. His base of operations was a drug store that stood where the bank is now, and it was to the drugstore that he went to warmn up on cold days. Then, the bank's brandi in the area was in an older building down the street. But months ago, the drugstore was tomn down, and men began working on the Bank of Nova Scotia's brand- new office building. Orville and Or- ville's friends - the lady in the Honey Dew, the clerk in the cigar store, a p retty woman who works on the 25th loor of an office complex across the street - began to wonder what would happen to Orville, and where he would go when it was cold. Early this month, the bank's new building was finished. It's snazzy- looking, with lots of windows and shiny bronze-tinted glass. 1 Would Orville fit in with the bank's new image? The lady who works 'on the 25th floor across the street could look down and see the shiny, modemn building and little Orville, who was not nearly so elegant. "I1 really won- dered," Ann Kroekem says, "if Or- ville would go with the bank, if the bank would think he did. " Well, the people in, the. bank thouglit on it a while. Last week, at the close of the bank's officiai open bouse week, they invited Orville into the office. The manager, Walter Milko, and the assistant manager, Pat Archer, were waiting for him. A few other staff members were gathered round. And then they presented Orville with a 'bight b lue winter jacket, complete with hood and a cest on it that reads "Scotiabank" and an even brighter red and white toque. Orville was sbocked. "I didn't knoW quite what to make of it," he says. And lie was embarassed. "I always liked earning thîngs," is the way he puts it. But most of ahl, Orville was puz- zled. Oh, lie thought it was-pretty nice. "My other coat was getting.a big sbaggy, 1 guess. And this one is a lot warmer. 1 even threw the other one out. I was pleased .awrigbt, but I couldn't figure out why the big knobs - they came down from the bead of- Orville Hamm fice, you know - and the bank wanted to give me7a present. " He' thought about it over the weekend. After ail, he did have an account with the bank. Maybe that was iL. And lie was pretty important in the amea. "I know just about everyone around here, " he sa ys. "And I pretty mucli get along witb them ail. I know Betty Kennedy and Ray Sonin fmom CFRB, the station across the street. They even caîl me by name, you know." Maybe that was it. And then Orville figumed it out. Let's face iL, lie does seli a lot of papers at that, corner. "A bundmed and seventy-five to 200 a day," lie says. And in selling ail those papers riglit in front of the bank, Orville figured, he did meet a lot of people. lHe prohably attracted a lot of business. And he is there every day, for at Ieast seven or eight hours. "I think," he says, mouth in a smile, "I knowwhy the bank gave me the presen . " "I think they wanted some free advertising.*" And that's why every (Jay, the new and dashing Orville selis papers in front of the new and dashing bank. And why, when he gets cold, he takes bis pile of papers, and goes into the bank to warmn up. And stands there in the middle of the posh Bank of Nova Scotia, a little guy in a red and white toque and a crested jacket.
