A Bowmanville contractor was able to shed some lîght on the electrical industry last week during bis classification talk at the Bowmahville Rotary Club. George Moore told fellow Rotarians that bis occupation provides frequent challenges. "I neyer know from day to day what job will arise to confront me," he said. Mr. Moore also told bis audience that the future of the electrical profession looks good. "In my estimation the future looks very encouraging for those people wbo choose an occupation in tbe skilled trades field. " He said some reports have actuaily pre- dicted a shortage in the suppiy of skilled electrical tradesmen in the next few years. Takes Training t takes about five years of apprenticesbip to become a full-fledged electrician. This includes mostly field training with several eigbt-week periods of classroom instruction. Finally, a tbree andioeb bour examination is used to measure the skills of electrical trainees and if thie exam is successfully completed, the candidate will obtain bis lîcense. Wbetber the candidate receives bis provincial or inter-provincial license depends on bis final mark on the -written test. In bis far-ranging talk at the Rotary Club last Thursday, Mr. Moore covered topics such as the installation of smoke detectors and value of aluminum wiring. In addition, be gave a general description of bis own electricai business and the electrical contracting business in general. Mr. Moore said that electricai work is a dangerous profession since tradesmen are often working just inches from deadly wires. "Being an electrician is one of the most bazardous occupations there is," be said. Shocks He added that people often ask him if he is afraid of electrical sbocks. "To tell you the truth, I neyer think of it until I get a dandy," he said. On the topic of smoke detectors, Mr. Moore pointed out that these devices must be instalied in eacb newly-wired bouse in the municipality. "I feel strongly myseif that tbey should be mandatory coast to coast in Canada at least," he said. And George Moore's knowledge of smoke detectors. comes from two places: First of ail, he is an electrician and secondly be serves as a part-time firefigbter for Bowmanville. He pointed out that in larger homes two or more smoke detectors may be required. Aluminum 0K Aluminum wiring has been a source of controversy recently, however according i - to Mr. Moore there is no danger in this type of wiring unless it bas been improperly installed. He said aluminum wiring bas been used since 1965 and it originally came on the market because it was much cheaper than c -opper wire. He said that today it is no longer less expensive to wire a home with aluminum. Mr. Moore bas been working in the electrical industry since 1966 and bas operated bis own electrical contracting business since 1974. He is a lifelong resident of Bowman- ville and is married with two children. He joined the Rotary Club one year ago. At present he bas a staff of five persons in his electrical business. He said be works for industrial, commercial and residential customers and does a lot of small jobs and service work. He tries to treat al customers the samne way he would like to. be treatedt if he were a customer. "The best advertising is by word of rnouth", he told the Rotary Club.
