4 The Canadian Statesman, Bowman ville, November 17,1982 Section Two Byline... By Peter Parrott Rich man, poor man, beggar-man thief Doctor, lawyer, Indian chief. The old nursery rhyme proves that children are interested in the working working world almost from the age at winch they are old enough to speak. So it's only natural that schools should encourage this interest among students. After all, work will probably occupy 45 years of an adult life-span; the schools should give some guidance on this important facet of life. Somehow, l don't think much time was spent on career preparation preparation when I attended school not so very long ago. It seems as though we planned to be firemen, mountain- climbers or pirates until close to the end of high school when we had to suddenly make more realistic plans. Fortunatelv, this won't happen to today's students. At the high school level, there are co-operative education programs which give young people practical experience in a field where they have a keen interest. In addition, secondary schools arrange career days or career weeks in which various vocations can be explored. At the elementary level, there are also opportunities to learn about the working world. And that's why I happened to spend a few minutes last week talking to a grade six class at St. Joseph's School about my job as a reporter-photographer. I was just one of several persons from various fields who were asked to speak about their jobs to the class. The students were interested and attentive; they were also able to ask more Questions than we had time available for answers. I hope my presentation helped the students in some way, and I know I learned a lot from the experience. I have only one reservation about the increased awareness of careers which can be seen at the schools. Sometimes, a good idea like career preparation can be overused. overused. And I would hate to see schools pursue career education to the point where teachers train bodies for the marketplace but do not educate minds for the classroom. Schools must have a practical purpose, purpose, but they should also be places tor reading, thinking, and even dreaming a little. Let's not dispense entirely with the world of thoughts and ideas that are associated cniefly with the ivory towers of the academic world. By all means, let's educate with one eye on the job market. But let's also make sure we leave a few ivory, towers standing.

Bowmanville 623-4004 CERTIFIED FOOT REFLEXOLOGIST Cheryl Frlede 270 King SI. East, Bowmanville 623-4004 pre-Confederation times, boasts two Washington presses. These were the type of press used in 1837, by William Lyon Mackenzie, the Tory firebrand of the early part of the century, to print his newspaper. "The Constitution". Constitution". It was Mackenzie's Washington press that his enraged political opponents threw into Muddy York (Toronto) harbour during the Rebellion of Upper Canada. .Cockburn takes delight in demonstrating the hand-operated hand-operated Washington press brought from the United States for use in the newspaper newspaper at Bolton, in the first half of the 19th century. He can also turn out work, when time permit on an ancient "Gordon" platen press commonly commonly used in the 1800's and even into the early part of the present century. Having read numerous books on pioneer printing methods, Bob Cockburn can combine this knowledge with his own vast experience in the business and talk at length for the benefit of visitors to the Village. He also does a steady business selling printed items from the large stock he keeps on hand. Front pages from William Lyon Mackenzie's 1837 "Constitution", as well as his second publication, the "Toronto Weekly Message", brought out in 1859, are available available for purchase. Among the most popular sales items are the plates of beautiful draught and carriage horses that provided provided the power and transportation transportation for farm and urban families. Other fast-selling printed pieces are the 1690 maps of North America and 19th century Shop Licenses issued by municipalities to aspiring merchants. In view of the recently announced increase in liquor prices, renewed interest may be expected in copies of an 1840 Still License Cockburn has available. The Still license, which was sold to citizens for a nominal fee, permitted the legal distilling of spirits and liquors for home use. When it comes to spirits, However, nothing lifts those of the hundreds of school children children visiting the Print Shop more than Bob Cockburn and his magic, especially the lucky ones who become the recipients of the dime that once was a dollar.

Paddy's Market UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT Taunton Rd., Hampton Used Furniture and Appliances Open Tues, to Sat. 10 to 6 263-6369 Ebenezer U.C.W. Holds An "Event for Women" On Tuesday, November 9th at 7 p.m., an Event for Women took place at Ebenezer, in the C.E. Centre. It was held in the evening rather than our regular regular afternoon time, to allow more people to attend, and share in the somewhat different different format. The event was planned by Lois Worden. Several guests from Oshawa, Courtice and Maple Grove joined us, and we were all given name tags upon arriving. We sat in an informal fashion at card tables, and for the first half hour enjoyed tea, coffee and yummy desserts, with calories. calories. A period of community singing singing was followed by a welcome to all from Margaret Down, U.C.W. President. Lois then spoke to us about recognizing our own gifts. Sometimes, they are in the form of talents, and also in personality qualities qualities - we certainly all do have some of each, which are in the form of talents, and also in personality qualities - we certainly certainly all do have some of each, which are God given, and it is up to us to search them out, and develop them. She mentioned too, the varied situations from which we ,come to a meeting; and we wonder what each one is searching for there. Lois then introduced the film 'How Good Life Can Be', which she had spent considerable time, choosing at our own United Church Headquarters in Toronto, 85 St. Clair. We are pleased to be using our own projector, recently purchased. The film was a good one, accompanied by ear pleasing music; portraying people helping people, getting good feelings from doing so. The first part was a series of shots taken just anywhere, and as the pictures moved quickly past, you saw the person on the street, or wherever he or she would be, noting the expression on their faces, not always happy. As the film went on, we saw various instances of love and concern for others, at work portraying the meeting theme. We were asked questions on the film, and many people found that they could identify with someone on the screen, in situations such as teaching retarded people to swim, teaching a child to ride a bike, helping someone with car trouble, etc. I'm'sure we all agreed that we 'find ourselves' ourselves' by giving, and God certainly expects that of us. Our church helps us extend our reaching out in giving, through its Mission and Ser vice Fund. It is our Faith in Action, beyond our congre- tional boundaries. There are eight pages filled with Mission and Service Projects in the magazine, Stewardship 82 - so we have ample opportunity for sharing our gifts. Margaret Down gave the announcements,- again requests for sharing - quilting - 17th - Simcoe Hall is asking for canned goods and the men's hostel needs vegetables, vegetables, men's clothes, sheets, towels, blankets, pots and pans, dishes, cutlery. Start looking and sharing! Lois called us to worship to close the meeting. Betty Samis read from 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, followed by the hymn, Take my Life and Let It Be and prayer. Lois spoke to us briefly on "Unexpected Gifts" after which an offering was taken, and dedicated by Gail Stainton. Next was a dialogue between Joan Pickell and Marilyn Down called, "You, sitting in the pew next to me," depicting the fact that talk about the weather, etc. isn't always good enough, in other words, "what am I really here for" - "maybe I'm scared of my life-style and need a change". A quartette, namely Joan Coverly, Lois Osborne, Jean Osborne and Greta Down sang, "He is my everything" and "He's only a prayer away," with Lois Worden at the piano - which was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. present. A mini skit entitled "Silver Spoon in Her Mouth" was enacted, characters being Marilyn Wood, Charlotte Hughes, Betty Samis, Gail Stainton, Joan Pickell and Marilyn Down. Of course, as you can imagine, the Silver Spoon lady found that much more was required of her than she had realized. Florence Cryderman thanked Ebenezer ladies on behalf of guests present, and the meeting closed closed with a prayer in litany form, and the hymn, The Day Thou Gavest Lord is ended, followed by the oenediction.' 54 women attended. / \ Q: Ever see a fat jogger?
