2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, April 4,1984 SMALL TALK By Donna Fairey Library Needs $15,000 Grant From Page One When a veteran of the broadcast media suggested that I possess a "brown" voice, her claim left me a bit puzzled. puzzled. Voices, aren't colored colored like the eyes, so what, then, could she possibly mean? She explained that the term "brown voice" is broadcast jargon to describe low, mellow vocal tones - quite nor mal in the male species but somewhat unusual and rare in women. This conversation occurred occurred some time ago and it wasn't until recently recently that I gave it much consideration. pitched voices are likewise a competitive breed. The research showed that the latter day woman striving to elevate elevate her corporate pos- , . , , ition will consciously wo . rk a t deepening her voice.

With the growing belief belief that a deep voice is more credible, the research research claims that a population of husky toned females is proliferating. proliferating. For instance, instance, the study claims that as one woman broadcaster lowers her voice and succeeds, others will follow. Moreover, researchers expect the image to carry over to the public sector. In effect, more and more females are modelling modelling their voices after the woman they see and hear on the evening news, the study revealed. revealed. They are convinced convinced that a deep, throaty voice at the board table, for instance, instance, will make them sound more impressive. impressive. Some gals have apparently apparently decided that if they are to compete on the same level as males, they must likewise change their voices to the same plane. The research would have us believe that should a woman come up with an iron clad solution solution for world peace but delivers it in high pitched squeaks, the plan will be chalked up as so much female hog- wash. "Women are not perceived as knowledgeable, knowledgeable, partly because because of pitch," states the report. The conclusions went on to say that, ironically, ironically, just when a lady wants to project a base voice and the image of self control, her body betrays her. The voice box is a muscle which tightens in response to nervousness or tension and in women out comes a monologue that sounds like a metal file scraping across a tin plate. Indeed, a man's voice may rise and still be in the acceptable range whereas women generally generally start at the top of the scale and have nowhere to go but up. On the other hand, the report says that when a woman lowers her voice too much she loses femininity. It is further perceived that she can also compound this no-sex image by speaking too loudly. All of this makes me afraid to open my mouth. Up until recently recently I thought that my low down vocal range was a minor biological variance. However, the study seems to indicate that I have intentionally intentionally cultivated a "brown" voice, automatically automatically making me a sexless iceberg with a competitive, ladderclimbing ladderclimbing nature. In spite of the study, I suspect that females naturally blessed with basement voices are better off than men born sopranos. she would support an additional $5,000 for the library system, but would not agree to providing more municipal funding until a joint committee of library representatives representatives and councillors has reviewed the situation. The Bowmanville regional councillor councillor added that actions taken by the library to cancel some newspaper newspaper subscriptions is "punitive" and designed to stir up library users so that they will put pressure on council. "It's sure done it, because because my phone has never stopped," she said. Although Councillor Bruce Taylor indicated that he supports the formation of a joint committee composed of library and council representatives, he indicated that something should be done immediately. immediately. "They've got to make decisions decisions based on the amount of money they know they can get," he said. While the committee was unable to decide on financial aid to the library, library, it did support the formation of an ad hoc group which will review review the problems facing the library library board. Such a committee, which would include three councillors and three library board members, would review review current problems facing the library library and report back to council. The committee was suggested by councillor Ann Cowman and supported supported unanimously. "It seems there hasn't been the best of understanding understanding between council and the library board in the past," said Mayor Garnet Rickard. Vice-chairman Louise Aasen said after Monday's committee meeting that she is hopeful the joint committee of library and town personnel personnel will help members of council council reach a better understanding of the concerns raised by the library board. New Bowmanville Arena Considerable Growth Needed To Implement Five Year Plan From Page One t sing the idea and has not contacted him a second time. During talk of the town's long- range program for capital construction construction projects, Councillor Marie Hubbard noted that a considerable amount of work lies ahead. "If we're putting $600,000 into a $2.6 million structure, there has to be a lot of footwork put into it," she said. Councillor Hubbard also expres sed concern over whether the old arena can continue to operate until a new one is ready. "If you've got to put a padlock on the door, you'd better better run for cover, because it's a major issue in this town," she said. Director of Community Services, Bud Fanning, said some doors and locker rooms will need repairs if the arena is to continue in use. But he added that a recent investigation investigation of the roof of the building indicated indicated that the structure was sound. The municipality must see considerable considerable economic growth if it hopes to implement large-scale projects listed in a five-year capital forecast approved by a committee of council Monday. While the town plans to spend $600,000 on capital projects this year, that figure grows to $1 million or more in the remaining four years of the forecast. Town officials foresee the need for a new Bowmanville Arena, an administrative centre, and improved improved firefighting facilities in the next, five years. Other major expenses expenses include the road construction construction program and the purchase of ! vehicles and equipment.) 1 The Bowmanville Arena, which) has a price tag of $2.6 million, is slated for construction in 1987, according according to details contained in the five-year forecast. An administrative administrative centre would be built the following following year. But members of council quickly point out that any of these expenditures expenditures are dependent on the overall financial health of the town. "I think we're only kidding ourselves ourselves if we think we're going to do it unless we have substantial growth," said Mayor Garnet Rickard. Rickard. He called on the town to promote its industrial and commercial potential potential so that it has the wealth to develop the facilities needed in the future. Councillor Ivan Hobbs described the capital forecast as only a guide for members to follow. "Just because because we have a certain amount in there for next year, that's not an indication indication we're going to spend it," he said. "To a certain extent, there are wild guesses in various five-, yeat forecasts." Councillor Bruce Taylor agreed that the existence of funds in the forecast does not guarantee that any projects will proceed in the future. future. But he added that it would be misleading to the public if council did not identify those major items which it may need in the future. "Whether or not we can afford them is something else again," he said.
