Call 623-1021 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, December 28,1983 3 SMALL TALK By Donna Fairey It seemed like a simple matter. All I wanted to do was find the telephone telephone number for the Bowmanville Post Office. The irritating exercise eventually produced the list of digits digits but left me frothing at the mouth. Ma Bell tells us to let our fingers do the walking through the yellow pages but gives us no clue as to what we should do with the blue section. I have my own ideas about that. Give me a paper shredder and I'll demonstrate. In fact, Bell's entire new directory directory is a disaster. My complaints start with the obvious. Apparently Ma was attempting to trim costs when she made a move to smaller print. That's just fine so long as you don't need to look up a number. It takes the combined forces of spectacles spectacles and a magnifying glass to bring the print into focus. But the real nerve jangler is trying trying to find an elusive listing like the town library or a local church. It took an office confrere and me nearly 10 minutes last week to uncover uncover the post office's number. Nobody Nobody has to jump-start either of our brains so turning up the number should, logically have been a routine function. Taking the systematic approach, we checked the white pages under "Post Office." It wasn't there. Other white page listings we investigated were, Bowmanville Post Office, "Newcastle Post Office and Canada Post. Neither was it listed in any of those places. Exhausting these avenues, we directly directly proceeded to Bell's baffling, blue pages. They're closely related to the infamous black holes of outer space. It's possible to enter them and never come out. First encountered was a section Police Use Store for Headquarters Gloria's Variety owner Charlie Kim had to keep his Ontario Street store open well after regular hours las-: Thursday night, after Durham Regional Police set up their surveillance headquarters in the back room of his store.

BeHeSe NEWS B y JaniceSet0 ' Editor BHS 1983 Many events of 1983 made Bowmanville High School quite an exciting place to be. To list all the activities of the past year would be too tedious so this article touches on only a few. Politically, 1983 hailed the departure and arrival of two Student Councils. Andrew Andrew Fellowes, Victor Romard, Pauline Jones, and Caroline Barlow left after a term of imaginative planning. Brian Schouten and his acclaimed co-workers, co-workers, Sandy Wiseman, Shaughn Houston, and Keri Smith have been responsible responsible for dances and successful successful fundraising since September. September. It was the year of the drama or non-musical. BHS Drama Club staged two comedies Kaufman and Hart's "You Can't Take It With You" and Philip King's "See How They Run." The new year will bring the musical musical "King and I," another crowd-pleaser from the authors authors of Broadway's best musicals. In 1983, there were several several major excursions. The BHS Band had an exchange trip with the Vincent Massey Massey Secondary School Band of Windsor, Ontario. The French trip to Quebec City in May included an insight into the French Canadien culture and accommodation accommodation at the beautiful Chateau Frontenac. The English department had an after-school trip to sec a musical starring David Cassidy Cassidy in Toronto. The Commencement of 1983 was a parade of scholars. scholars. The cameras of proud parents flashed all night. In November, the glittering trophies of the tech department department were presented to achievers at the annual Tech Awards Assembly, Both these events were recorded recorded by the Yearbook and BUS News. The Yearbook of 1983 had more pictures and the very wittiest grad-writeups. This effort was the first product of the editorial team of Donna MaeSween and Tim Childs, This year, with the help of Jan, W„ Donna and Tim are beginning the task again, So far, these three have collected the first deposits deposits for the Yearbook of '84. The BHS News acquired a new writer in 1983. Ap : pearing weekly in the Canadian Canadian Statesman, Sam Las- karis provides the sporting news and Janice Seto serves as general editor and writer. The Band trip and French trip were among the events covered in '83. School spirit was evident. There were successful fundraising fundraising drives, and participation participation in the School spirit dress-up days. The Christmas Christmas Concert was well-produced well-produced and there were several several Band concerts. In general, 1983 was a year to remember. The first artificial heart transplant, the Beirut and Flight 707 bombings, the visit of the Pope to Poland, the American American woman in space, and nuclear arms demonstrations demonstrations were part of the international international news scene. In Trivia news, The Return of the Jedi grossed $40 million in its first week of release, and was a happy ending to the Star Wars trilogy. (Wasn't it great to see the Empire defeated after seven years of waiting and Luke Skywalker reform his father?). Flashdance fashions fashions are the rage and the movie's record has joined Michael Jackson's on the top of the yearly album charts. In Bowmanville, there was the birthday celebration and a near riot over the sale of Cabbage Patch dolls to remember the year (also our very cold Christmas). What a year! In 1984, BHS will return to exams, Ontario will celebrate celebrate its birthday, and the world will return to normal after the festive season. Hope you have a Happy New Year in 1984. (By the way, Orwellians, made from ENG 351 students, probably will celebrate too!) Here, Qualified Is Certified The Bowmanville Goodyear plant recently certified its first two hourly production employees, then followed with certification of several supervisors, supervisors, "Understandably the supervisors supervisors have to have some different different knowledge than the people who work for them", explained training coordinator coordinator Charlie Trim. "They have to direct the operations to a degree." While the hourly employees were taught their specific jobs, the supervisors were taught the hows, why and whens of production by a variety of speakers. Development Development manager Ralph McIntyre, McIntyre, personnel manager A1 Brown, customer service manager Ralph Tukker, quality assurance manager Eric Leinberger, factory accounting accounting manager Grant McKinnon and engineering manager Stan Froats all had a session with the supervisors, Reclaim plant supervisor Basil Park, a long service employee familiar with production, production, found Tukker's talk pertinent, "He told us what happens to orders once they gel into the system," he said, "and how the computer operates, operates, This is something 1 wasn't familiar with, 1 have been doing some things without without much knowing why. It helps if you know your role in the operations." Assistant foreman Karl Piper said his interest was in McIntyre's development talk. "We know what happens during a cure for instance," he said, "but we don't always know why or when. This type of a course tells us these things and we become more knowledgeable about our jobs." Generally, the more people know about their jobs the more interested they are, Trim said, "We are looking to have our people as qualified as possible and the certification program verifies this."

A STORE! • Highway No, • King SI, E., O • Slmco# SI, N Oehawa • King SI, W„ Bowmanville containing federal and provincial government services, listed alphabetically alphabetically by program or service. It was easy to find important telephone telephone numbers for Debentures (Ont), Day Nursery Licensing (Ont), Fruits and Vegetables (Can) and Tradesmen Certificates (Ont). The post office, however, drew a blank. Neither was it included in the Durham Region or municipality of Newcastle listings. The next section section covered Ontario government departments. I didn't expect to find it there but checked anyway. It's a weird book and one never knows. The number was eventually found neatly hidden in the Government of Canada listings (in both French and English) listed under the sub title "Post Offices." Actually we looked there at the outset but Ma has written the information information so small, disguised it so well and called the institution by an in correct name that the listing remained remained temporarily disguised in the bowels of the baby blue section. Thinking perhaps the mind boggling boggling experience may have occurred as a result of a blind spot, I later challenged two willing participants with at least average intelligence to seek and find the post office number. number. They approached the search like bloodhounds on the trail of a hot scent. One ofthem came up with the number following a 15 minute hunt, but only in French. The other never did find it. The conclusion is this. Ma Bell deserves the Nobel prize for confusing confusing literature. Considering the minuscule size of the directory's print, unless you ate fields of carrots carrots as a child, you won't get to read it. Moreover, even if you possess Superman vision you'll have difficulty difficulty with the layout of the content. Seventh Day Adventist Church Membership Passes 4 Million / The world membership of the Seventh-day Adventist Church has passed the four million mark, according to Mark Johnson, pastor of the Bowmanville congregation. The second quarter of this year was the best in the history history of the denomination, stated Johnson, with 105,372 people joining the church worldwide. In reporting membership accessions, Pastor Johnson noted that the increase came during a program of the church known as the "One Thousand Days of Reaping." Beginning Sept. 15,1982, and continuing through June 15, 1985, the time of the World Conference of the church in New Orleans, the denomination denomination hopes to baptize 1000 members a day for 1000 days, he said. "To add a million new members in a relatively short period of time is a real challenge," challenge," he added, "but the church is on target for its achievement. We are" adding many more than the hoped-for 1000 each day." Pastor Johnson said the greatest increases in membership membership have come in Africa and Central and South America.
