Further Information • P.O, Box 36, Bowmanville Speaker Discusses Changing Role of Women Employees The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, June 1,1983 5 Byline... By Peter Parrott Bev Turner, co-ordinator of the affirmative action program at Durham College and industrial training liaison officer, is shown here with Rotary Club President Paul Morris (right) and Pat Mothersill, chairman of the program committee. Bev Turner spoke to the Bowmanville Rotarians last Thursday, May 26. She talked about industrial training programs available through Durham College and she also discussed the role of women in the workforce. Sitting here, Monday morning and wondering about the subject for this week's column, the topic of "cars" pops into my mind. Maybe that's because of the fact that my own trusty car has just reached its 100,000th kilometre and is starting its second time around the speedometer. I'm thinking of cars I have known and also thinking of the fact that the automobile is more than just a way of getting from point A to point B. If mere transportation were required, we could probably all travel by drab buses or taxis. But a car is more than transportation; it's part of a human personality revealed in nuts, bolts and metal. I once heard of a certain millionaire who never hired an employee without first looking at his car. He didn't really care what his potential employee drove; but he always made sure that anyone he hired owned a car that was well- washed and polished. He understood the mystical link between car and owner. He was suspicious of people who never washed their vehicles because he felt the trait represented some flaw in character. In many respects, people believe that "you are what you drive." And certainly automobile advertising tries to feed on this relationship between the car and driver. The bearded outdoorsman drives something with four-wheel drive and tractor tires, while the thinking man's car will stress quality construction and economy from a well-tuned motor about the size of my typewriter. The only problem with these theories about cars and drivers is the fact that they fail to take into consideration what we would drive if money and practicality were no object. You'll find out a lot about a person by not only considering the car he or she drives but also looking at the vehicle he or she would like to drive. Frankly, I'd choose a low-slung machine hand-made by gnomes of the Bavarian Forest if I had my choice of any car in the world. I'd pick the kind of car that has a cruising speed just this side of the sound barrier and an engine half the size of an Atlas rocket. Oh, incidentally I happen to drive a 1978 Chevette with a speedometer on its second lap. There's a discrepancy here which psychologists may be interested in. Walter Mitty, eat your heart out. By Peter Parrott Women in the workforce want no more and no less than the same opportunities that are available to men, members members of the Bowmanville Rotary Club were told last week. Beverley Turner, co-ordinator co-ordinator of the Affirmative Action Program at Durham College, made this observation during a speech to the Rotary Club Thursday, May 26. She noted that women are becoming a large part of the work force and she pointed out that their numbers have grown from 663,000 in 1960 to 1,9 million at present. "The fact is that the role of women has changed over the past 25 years," said Ms. Turner. She added that women work for the same reasons that men 1 work. For the most part, it's an economic necessity, "It's impossible to buy a house and hold a mortgage with one salary at this time," she said. Rotarians were told that affirmative affirmative action programs are intenede to design strategies which will expand women's horizons and overcome discrimination discrimination against women in the work place. She stressed the importance of looking beyond sexual stereotypes in the job market. Affirmative action programs are intended to make certain that women have the opportunity opportunity to advance According to their knowledge, skills, and experience, said Ms. Turner. The guest speaker also noted that female students should understand the importance importance of pursuing math and science courses during their school careers. These subjects will give them better opportunities opportunities in the future. She pointed out that jobs such as telephone operators, clerk typists, and bank tellers, are being eliminated by technology. technology. It is these positions which are traditionally held by females in the work force. Ms. Turner cited a number of advantages to affirmative action programs. She pointed out that employees can reduce staff turnover by creating opportunities for career advancement. advancement. In addition, the promotion of qualified women from within a company can eliminate costly training of new employees. As well as serving as coordinator coordinator of the Durham College Affirmative Action Program, Ms. Turner is Industrial Industrial Training Liaison Officer for the college. She discussed a number of programs for industrial training training which may be of benefit to local employers. In each of the programs, employees' wages are paid in full or in part by the sponsoring government agency.
