4 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November, 28, 1979 Section Two PUC Employees Donate Time to Instail Lights IWoods, Water and By Ron Reid Changing Seasons November's cold wsncis have pushed most of our familiar summer birds on their way southwands. But amongst the stark greyness of southern Ontario's woodlots, s0 necently stripped of their autumn finery, another igration is just arriving. Many birds of the Arctic neaches or the northern coni- ferous forests find oun area to be the ideal wintering spot. This past weekend we wel- comed back perhaps the most characteristic of these winter visitors - snow buntings. Swooping and swirling across the snowy fields, these whitish "snowbirds" seem to almost disappear, only'to reappean a second laten as the black patch in thein wings is turned towards you. Like other finches, snow buntings are seed-eaters, and weedy fields can regularly attnact larg'e flocks.f Another of our wînter birds has been here for weeks now - the slate-colored junco. This spanrow-like bird is handsomely outfitted in sof t grey above and off-white below, with striking white flashes on the tail when it flies. The incessent trilîs and twitters of the junco, which breeds in a broad range across central Canada, are a familiar sound around many winter feeders. Not ail winter birds are so subdued in color. The evening grosbeak, so named because of its massive seed-cracking beak, has a dusky yellow body with contrasting black wings and white shoulder patches. Its cousin and oftentimes compnin, the purpie finch, is aculy brighter than the WildlifeI name suggests, with a rich rôsy hue. 'the roster of winter arrivais continues to grow. Northern shrjkes, rpobiri-sized preda tors with the bizzare habit of impaling their victims on thornS. are a re1itively rare find. S o are crossbills, whose erratie wanderings occas- sionally bring large flocks to southern Ontario. Much more common is the golden- crowned kinglet, the midget of the bird world, whose olive- green drabness is accentuated only by a yellow stripe down the~~ to fteha.These hyperactive littie birds, whose summer diet is largely ins-ects, somehow survive even the harshest winter storms deep in evergreen thickets. Employment Conditions The number of clients unemployed and negistened for work at the Canada Employment Centres in Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa for the month of October totalled 8,552, consisting of 5,133 female and 3,419 maie clients. Placements in the three offices totalled 735 for the month, which compares to a total of 1,077 placements during September. The majority of clients were registered in Material- Handling, and related: Product Fabricating, Assembling and Repairing; Sales; Service; and Clerical and related. Durîng Octoben, the greatest employment opportunities existed in Manufactuning of Transporta- tion Equipment; Construc- tion; Retail Trade and Accom- modation and Food Services., At the end of October, there were 172 students in the skill courses sponsored by the' Canada Employment Centre and 49 people receiving academîc upgrading at Durham College. The Durham Organization for Industrial Training (DOIT) Committee compos- ed of Federal and Provincial, employer, educational and labor nepresentatives have fonmally signed an agreement with the CEIC and Ministny of Colleges and Universities which will help to ease skill shortages in the tool and die, machinist, industrial mechanic (millwright) and mouidmaken trades in the Durham Region. Based on the existing appnenticeship system, improved features include: 1) day nelease concept where trainee goes to school 1-day a week for 40 weeks eaéh year while nemaining on payroll of employer. 2) substantially increased employer subsidation of wages paid to employer oven whole apprenticeship period. 3) local training at Durham College thus cutting down travel costs and facilitating communications with the employer. 4) appointmnent of a pnoject co-ondinator to expedite this pilot pro ject. The C.E.C. anticipates a tripling or more of the number of apprentices-companies participating in these much needed apprenticeship skills 'in the area. Intenested employens may contact R. Mantzel or W. Bisset at 579-9402 at the C.E.C. or J. Long at 576-0120 at Durham College for future informa- tion. 77 king Street East, Bowmanville Values Effective at Bowmanville Store OnI y STORE HOURS Mon.-Tues.-Wed.-Sat. 9-6 Thurs. & Fr1. 9-9 OPEN SUN DAY 110-5 WE DELIVER TELEPHONE 623-4161 Representing their donation to the Santa Claus Parade,, Bowmanville Public Utilities employees annually instail the Christmas decorations which decorate the town's main intersections. Two P.U.C. employees were caught in the midst of doing their bit for Santa at the intersection of King and Division Streets last week. Purchasing the Christmas decorations was a project funded by the Chamber of Commerce a few years ago. WESLEY VILLE NEWS (Intended for last week) November l8th, Sunday's weather was better than usual for that date, and church members took advantage of it to attend service at Welcorne United Church and join the langer than usual congrega- tion. As usual Rev. Wm. Kennedy had an illustrated and relevant story for the juniors and his message for the morning was a prelude to Christmas thinking and reminded his people that Mary, too, was a very important part -of Christmas and doesn't always receive the attention she deserves. The choi's anthem was "Praise the Lord, O Jenusalem". Red and white carnations were a bright and lovely floral offer- ing and the negular offering was received by Messers Cliff Brice, John Gould, Albert Woodnuff and David Lellogg. Thoughts of ail organizations in the church are turning to future Christmas activities. Members - of the UCW are preparing for their Old Time Christmas concert and plans are being made for the Vesper service for, the charge on December l6th and, carol singing at Garden Hill on Christmas Eve. Last Wednesday evening, November l4th, the genenal UCW meeting was held at the chunch. Business' had been discussed at an executive meeting and necommenda- tions proposed by them were approved at the short business session conducted by the president Mrs. Mary Kellogg. The devotional period was led by Mrs. Phyllis Symons. During the meditation she told of a dream where a motley gnoup of people were present- ing themselves for admission at the gate of heaven. Thene was a beautiful woman, a great athiete, a scholarly man and other types, ail perfect on their positions but they were required to go back and grow a soul whîch had been left out of their plans for a life. Barbara and Eliza Dinner sang two numbers during the evening, providing their own accompaniment with guitars. Ail of the congregation had been invited to this meeting whîch began with a pot luck supper at 6:30. Tables laden with mouth watering food and Rev. Wm. Kennedy was asked to say grace before plates were filled and ail present sat down to enjoy a hearty meal which didn't look as if much was left to "'pot luck". After tables were cleared ail went upstairs to share in the short business and worship period described, and enjoy and benefit from the programme provided. Mrs. Melody Henry intnoduced the guest speaker, Mrs. G.- Rickard of- the Durham Region. With her husband Mrs. Rickard had been on tour with 38 registened seedgrowers to England, Budapest, Ukraine, north shore of the Black Sea, Moscow, Munich, and other places. Most pictures shown by Mrs. Rickard were taken in Russia, a country made up of 15 republics to form the USSR. Together they make a huge land mass covering il time zones, and the excellent views and commentary were a nevelation of many facets of life in these countries, as well as the major purpose of the trip, studying Agriculture in those parts of the world. She was thanked by Mrs. Mary Kellogg and presented with a copy of the new book, "Homesteads". This book includes pictures of several local houses, and descriptions of others. Three of them are former Marsh homes, one now occupied by the McHolim family on highway two and one by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wilson in Port Britain. Several local people attend- ed the exhibition of the King Tutankhamun articles in Toronto this past week and also spent some time at the Royal Winter Fair. Beverley McColl participated in the fair by working as a groom at the horse show for sevenal davs. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Austin and Mr. and Mrs. Carrol Nichols attended the dinner for Hope Township employees at The Vincent Massey Centre at Bewdley on Saturday night, the l7th. Visitors during the weekend were: Mn. and Mrs. Wendell Palmer with Mrs. C. Dickin- son and Clarke. Mr. Calvin Heywood, Mrs. Mollie Wood- hall of London, England, Mr. and Mrs. David Kiton of Toronto, Richard Gott and Mrs. George Ford, John and Linda of Inglewood with Mrs. E. Barnowlouah. Warm w"eather Raises Demand For Power Wanm fail weathen, with temperatures high enough to bring on air conditionens in most parts of central and southern Ontario, caused provincial enengy consump- tion in Octoben to increase by 6.8 per cent companed with the same month last yean, accord- ing to Larry Higgins, Ontario Hydno's Load Forecasting Manager. Peak demand - the highest amount of electricity used at one given time duning the month - increased by 8.8 per cent to 14,191,000 kilowatts. Ontario's power sales to the United States durîng Octoben totalled 980 million kilowatt- houns, eanning $30.6 million. For the same period last year sales wene 378 million kilowatt-houns earning almost $20 million. Also in Octoben, the electrical output of ail four reactons at the Bruce Nulear Power Development was reduced to. 710,000 kilowatts from 750,000 kilowatts as a nesuit of reduction in steam pressure. The pressure neduc- tion was to ensure that stress in the welds that attach the boilers to the steam drums on the four Bruce units did flot exceed design code limits. Units 3 and 4 at Bruce were shut down so the welds could be inspected. Unit 4 was retunned to service Octoben 25. Unit 3 was shut down for the inspection Octoben 26 and retunned to senvice in November. Pickering NulearGenerat- ing Station Unit 3 shut down October 19 for planned maintenance. It returned to service Novemben 8. BUSINESS D IRECTORY Accountancy WILLIAM C. HALL B'..Comm. Chartered Accounfant 361/2 King Sf. E , Oshawa Telephone 725-6539 WM. J. H.
