Bowmanvjlle, June 4, 1975 5 Brothers take Part in Church's Anniversary structure of his hands, which gives, him the capacity to make things; and a third force which hie described as the Spirit of Man, which gives us a sense of purpose and a relationship in the natural universe. Dr. Parr emphasized that the technological age in which we live has given us many opportunities flot enjoyed by earlier societies - such as the wide availabiliy of the print- ed word, trave, a roof over our heads, timne and the opportunity to talk freely. In earlier societies this "sort of wealth" was restricted to the masters, the lords, the own- ers. He stated that the graduates through their education at Durham College, could con- tribute to these sorts of resources, which our modemn society rather takes for grant- ed. They now possessed a q ualification that allowed them to seek fulfiiling work in industry, business, in health or other social services. Dr. Parr asked the students to consider the present in- dustrial age in context. "Des- pite the inequalities, the crassness and the smugness that are ail around us, there are fewer slaves, and . more equal partners than there used to, be. But the specialized'know- ledgeý the graduates have acquired to work in this complicated industrial age should be shared. Dr. Pa-rr called upon the students to "lshare what they know - to project the human activity and learning beyond the institution". In an informai way, they could carry Dur- ham College beyond the campus, beyond the SUIlS required bi their empioy- ment, to 0fier to others who may enjoy being participants in intelligent discussion. "Yo u can become part of what you might cail the Global College. t is from this sort of participation that the third force of which 1 spoke earlier (the Spirit of Man), emerges" . Dr. Parr stated that our recognition of the "Spirit of Man" however we see it, may allow us collectively, to put Technology and ail its current ancillaries to their best use. Invocation for the Durham Colege graduation ceremon- ies was given by Rev. Roger J. Maggs,' and the benediction by Rev. J. M. Markle.

Hampton United Church celebrated its iooth Anniversary. enr Earns Crest in Fork-Lif t Truck Rodeo Wally Ruiter earned a crest at the rodeo. Morris Conway says Ruiter Wally Ruiter went to learn not win. And that's. exactly what happened. Ruiter was the only fork-lif t truck operator from Bowman- ville's Goodyear plant to enter the regional Industrial Acci- dent Prevention Association rodelo, and, for his first attempt, did creditably well, according to two fellow em- ployees who were judges at the competition. Overconfidence may have cost Ruiter a few points, although underconfidence was more like bis feeling, when he started the first run. "But it was s0 easy - at least I thought it was - that 1 underestimated the difficulty of the next run and didn't make it without touching the barrier. " Morris Conway, who works in receiving with Ruiter and was one of t he judges, said that Ruiter had done well. "It was a difficult course. At my station, only one out of 34 contestants had a perfect score and he eventually won the rodeo." There were ten stations with two judges at each. Ruiter decided to enter the competition when the subject came up at a local TAPA safety meeting he was attend- ing. "I thought that it would contrihute to safer operation of fork-lif t trucks because I'd learn some new ways to do things. I'd recommend that al fork-1f t truck operators try Ruiter ccumulaed the8tios." si Sesser.
