i Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, September 22, 1962 5 Superintendent of Area Schools Speaks at Providence-Shaws W.I. Speaker Duplays Examples of Paper Products By Shirley Brown P.R.O. Thelma Gilbank of Orono hosted the first fall meeting of Providence-Shaw's W.I. on Sept. 16. Several members had begun work in the local orchards and were missed. President Margaret Killeen read to us on the motto, "Who ceases to learn, ceases to live". The roll call was an unusual word used in a sentence. This was fun. Some were tongue twisters. Some we will not likely use. Some were simple words with dual meanings which were used with the wrong meaning by new Canadians learning the language.. A motion was made that the original minute book of Shaw's School, given to us by Prof. J.P. Lovekin, should be deposited in a suitable place for safe keeping. It can now be seen at the Clarke Museum, Orono. Invitations to meetings in Hampton and Solina were acknowledged. The Central Area Convention is Nov. 2 and 3 at the Royal York and plans are being made to send representatives. Mr. H. Knapper, area superintendent of instruction with Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education spoke to us on the responsibilities of the Board and teachers to the parents. The school's responsibility is to keep the children happy and safe. He feels there is good discipline and problems are handled fairly. Compared to schools a few years ago when rules were broken and students labelled "trouble makers", he feels the relaxing of these rules has been an improvement in the right direction. (Perhaps this is the reason graduates today are untrained and lacking self discipline in the work force.) He urged parents to go to the principal when conflicts arose. The principal was trained to deal with staff and students. We were made aware of the Board's concerns in negotiating with teachers who now have a union behind them, pushing on their behalf. Which takes priority for the teacher, his own interests or the students? Critical parents and legal situations are on the increase and are taking more of his time. Mr. Knapper was pleased to have saved money in the recent hiring of new teachers. Graduate "A" student teachers were his choice. (Experience, we concluded, was an unnecessary expense.) We were pleased to have Mr. Knapper speak to us and he was thanked by Marilyn Dow. Annabelle Rickard and Sylvia Payer are co-leaders of a new homemaking club in our community, a first for Shaws. We were asked for donations for the Fun Fair in Solina on Oct. 12. Those not present may be asked for contributions. The cooking course, "Food for All Seasons" will be held tentatively on Oct. 21 at 10:00 a.m. at Durham Christian High School. Please call Mrs. Ruth Cahais 623-2704 or Mrs. Fiene Payer 623-2653 if you wish to attend. The next meeting will be Oct. 14th at Doreen Barrie's, R.R. 4, Bowmanville. Library's New Computer in Operation at Bowmanville li ■ :I. .2- : V- VfWJB » Ebenezer UCW Resumes Activities with Picnic Dick Cruickshank displays various examples of modern paper products to Rotary Club President Paul Morris following his speech to Rotarians last Thursday. Mr. Cruickshank is a representative of Domtar Fine Papers. He talked about the various kinds of paper products and about the manufacturing ofpiilp and paper. Rotarians Review j Pulp and Paper Got a book that you'd love to read but can't seem to locate? Chances are that the new computer system in operation at the Bowmanville Library can help you locate the book and arrange for an inter-library loan. The computer went into operation at the Bowmanville branch for the first time, about two weeks ago. It links all libraries in the Central Ontario Regional Library System. One of its benefits is to locate books and arrange loans among libraries more quickly than before. It also helps the libraries in the system to communicate with each other by conveying messages. In addition, it will be used to book films. Here, Jan Leak, of the Bowmanville Library, is operating the new machine. Ebenezer U.C.W. resumed fall activities in the form of a picnic at Joan Coverly's. 17 ladies attended plus 3 children. Of course, the food was good and we thoroughly enjoyed what may be for most, the last picnic in 1982.. President Margaret Down opened the formal part of the meeting by having us all read a liturgy on our country. Margaret welcomed all, especially Maureen Elliott, our new minister's wife, and her two children. She mentioned our summer activities, activities, which included catering catering to the Down wedding and two successful bake sales in Jean McKnight's driveway. The meeting continued with secretary Kay Mackie reading the minutes of the June meeting. Kay was asked to it's so easy... send a letter of thanks to Harold Hughes for the excellent excellent job done on upholstering our two arm chairs. Margaret had recently visited Irene Hopkins at Sandy Cove Acres, where she now lives, and she informed us that Irene would really like us all to come and visit her; we may try to have a meeting there sometime in 1983. Bernice Ffearce as Banquet Convener informed us of some catering jobs coming up, and told of the very successful 'at home' for Eber and Rena Snowden, on the occasion df their 60th anniversary. Letters of thanks were read from Rena. and Eber, and Karen Osborne, and we have a quilting coming up on Sept. 29th. Joan Coverly concluded the meeting with a short worship period, dealing with the story of Mary and Martha. She read from Luke and from John, passages which talk about the two sisters. The theme of the message she gave was caring; We must care for others, and God always cares for us all, as he loved both Mary and Martha. In women's groups there are Mary's and there are Marthas; we hope we try to accept people for what they are, welcoming them with both kindness and love. We listened to two lively gospel hymns and Joan closed with prayer - Be Still and know that I am God, being the message left with us.

PAY PROMPTLY TO AVOID PENALTY Sept. 22,1982 R.C. Bryden Tax Collector Most of us know the product as paper. But the speaker at last week's meeting of the Bowmanville Rotary Club also knows it as a combination of wood fibre, resin material, . clay, alum, dyes, and many more ingredients. Dick Cruickshank, of Domtar Domtar Fine Papers, was the speaker at the regular meeting meeting of the club last Thursday, September 16 at the Flying Dutchman Hotel. "■ Mr.- Cruickshank is assistant assistant Ontario sales manager and sales co-ordinator of cut size papers for Ontario and western Canada. With the help of color slides, he took his audience on a journey from the tree to the finished product. Paper is a general word describing a wide range of material. On the lowest end of the quality scale, there's common common newsprint, while fine papers with a rag content represent the hignest quality products. An example of the best quality paper would be the material used for printing currency. "Paper is a product which is made for a very specific end use," said Mr. Cruickshank. The general categories into which products can be placed include newsprint, craft and boxboard, rag grade papers, and general use papers. In his review of 1980 world shipments, Mr. Cruickshank said that 21 million metric tonnes of paper and pulp products products were produced in Canada. Canada. The value of this material was $15 billion. Just over 20 per cent of the product is used within the country; the rest is exported to the U.S. and overseas markets. The leading producer of pulp and paper products is Quebec, followed by British Columbia, and Ontario. Like almost all business enterprises, the pulp and paper industry has been feeling feeling the effects of the current economic slowdown. "We are in the doldrums, the same as any other business today," said Mr.' Cruickshank. Forecasters Forecasters in the industry aren't expecting the market to firjn up for another 18 months, he added. "It's going to be a very slow recovery, as far as we're concerned," concerned," the speaker said. In a review of the paper • manufacturing process, Mr. Cruickshank explained that the basis of the process is celulose fibre. About 50 per cent of the tree is composed of this fibre. They are approximately approximately 1.5. milimetres in length and between 0.3 and 0.5 millimetres in diameter. The manufacturing process begins when bark is removed from pulpwood logs and the peeled logs are cut into chips. In just two seconds, a four foot pulp log can be transformed into chips three-quarters of an inch square. \ Other steps include cooking, digesting, washing, and bleaching the pulp. At the end of this stage, the material consists of a brown, porridge- like substance, which is later bleached. The processed pulp may then be dried and placed in 500 pound bales for export or stockpiling. It may also go to a pulper for manufacturing directly into paper. At this point, the brown porridge-like pulp is treated with a resin material, clay, and alum in order to assist in the final manufacturing process. process. Dye is also added, even for sheets of paper which are to remain white. Paper may be blue-white, cream-white or pink-white, for example. And it takes three different dyes to produce a blue-white sheet, Mr. Cruickshank said. After j (ae ingredients have been addl'd, the pulp is sent to a refiner and then to a paper machine. Some of these mechanisms can produce up to 2,000 feet of paper per minute. The material is finally dried and pressed and comes off the machinery in huge rolls. It is then ready for dividing into rolls or cutting into sheets. Although it's a complex process, process, the basics of the industry haven't changed since the 1800s, Rotarians were told. Of the 21 million metric tonnes' of pulp and paper produced produced annually, approximately approximately 1.9 million tonnes are fine papers. The annual production of Domtar amounts to 1.2 million metric tonnes, Mr. Cruickshank Cruickshank told his audience last week. ■wt:. rtnrnzLwmwmiMiimmm mw THERE'S MOR E FUTURE IN A DATSUfê TSOTer' «nr?
