Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, September 10 1975 9 Coin Phone Local Calls WilI Now Cost 20c with Some Still at 1Oc Rate A 20-cent charge for local calls from certain of the coin telephones within the Bow- manville local calling area was initiated by Bell Canada -on Fridav. August 29. Ken Hird. local Bell Canada man- ager, said recently. Conversion of the sets in the local calling area were com- pleted that day. At the same time, free direct emergency access to "0" Operator will be made available from all outdoor-lo- cated public phones. The increase -- first since 1952 -- does not apply to public telephone located in railway- stations, bus terminals, hospi- tals, nursing homes, rooming houses, churches and those on city sidewalks adjacent to a public thoroughfare. At all these locations the 10-cent rate will remain, Mr. Hird said. Because of the two rates which will apply, instructional cards at each public phone will clearly indicate whether the cost of a local call is 10 or 20 cents. The change to 20-cent cal- ling from certain coin tele- phones is being phased in throughout Ontario and Que- bec by Bell Canada, generally proceeding from the larger to the smaller centres. The 20-cent rate was authorized by the Canadian Transport com- mission on August 15, 1974. The three-slot coin tele- phones are being replaced with the new single-slot Cen Welct THE STA RoyI are v turion models. Not all coin telephones sets, however, will be replaced by Centurions. At some locations the old-style sets will remain, at 10-cent indoor locations. A feature of the Centurion, Mr. Hird said, is incorporation into the set of a device which provides the facility to reach "0" Operator inan emergency without- the use of coins. As well as this emergency feature the new Centurion will also provide calling without coins to Directory Assistance and Repair Service. Named the Centurion be- cause of its rugged construc- tion and design qualities to prot 'ct against vandalism and theft, the set has interchange- able component parts making it easier and more economical to service than the present set, according to Bell Canada.

Until the Bowmanville Sen- ior Public School opened last week, Principal Ron Moore had been something of a nomad. He spent the entire 74-75- school year roving between four junior public schools which provided temporary housing for Grade 7 and 8 ome Back Tedi FF AND~ MANAGEMENT OF Nichols Motors Ltd. ery pleased to welcome back TED MILLER after a six months absence due to a serious operation. It's wonderful to have him back with us again, and Ted will be happy to see all his customers again. students slated to move into the new facilities on Queen Street last March. However, a Thanksgiving weekend fire wiped out plans for the s ring opening, an the rincipal continued to rotate between Lord Elgin, Vincent Massey, Ontario Street and Central Public Schools to look after the needs of his staff and students for the duration of the school year. And though Mr. Moore maintains that the spirit of the rather dislocated school was excellent, he seems very pleased that the new facilities were ready to accept students for the fail term. A tour of the renovated building proves that although the delay was inconvenient, the wait was well worthwhile. Anyone who was familiar with the old Bowmanville bigh school would be amazed by the transformation. Colorful graphics adorn the hallways, replacing battIeship gray as a traditional school color, and giving the building a cheerful new look. Even before the fire, the 1892 section of the school had been destined for demolition, and the part that remained after the blaze was torn down. The 1929 and 1957 sections of the building have undergone vast structural changes. The old auditorium is now a modern resource centre with large windows and carpeting on the floor. The agricultural buildiñg at the rear of the school bas been renovated to accommo- date tbe instrumental music department. Among the many other changes, the new admin- istration offices are located wbere the old library once stood, and the staff room took over what used to be the guidance office; that centre was relocated beside the main offices. Though much has changed since iast fall, the 450 students and 19 staff members have settled into the new facilities Tomorrow Is Too Late•> They Promised More Reasonably Priced Homes ...

Remedial work, which is often an afterthought in a school timetable, will be an integral part of the staff's duties. Team teaching will enable staff members to work with students of similar abilities and give special help where it is needed. The schedule will be sup- plemented by an elective program for two periods a week. The students will be able to choose from a wide variety of activities including recreational sports, ceramics, choir, drama, yearbook and many others. This program will augment other non- academic subjects such as art, gym, home economics and woodworking, which are part of the regular program. Another new aspect of the timetable is instrumental music. Each class in the school will be exposed to the program and within two years the school will have its own band. Mr. Moore hopes to encour- age a great deal of community involvement in the school, and he believes that volunteers from outside can greatly enhance the program in sever- al different ways, from parti- cipating in remedial reading instruction to teaching crafts. Though a specific date - hasn't been set; the school will be officially open-ed iniNo-,v- ember and ail nembers of the community will be welcome to attend.
