COMMISSIONER OF WORKS work at the museum she didn't have much interest in museums and explained she most likely wouldn't have gone to visit one. Now she enthusiastically mentions a trip to the Royal Ontario Museum that is planned for her when the floors at the facility are being being stripped. "Charles (Taws, the curator) curator) wants me to see how other museums work," she said. Kim is learning a great deal where she is right now. In addition to discovering how to operate photocopying machines and word processing, processing, she is finding out what life used to be like in communities communities years ago. "Some of the stuff they used is pretty interesting," she said. She was particularly in-, terested in the manner of dress. One of her jobs has involved involved re-dressing some of the museum mannequins. Kim had the chance at that time to see the costumes costumes worn by women before before jeans ana t-shirts became became acceptable modes of dress. Some of the clothing had beads on it. Sometimes real silver was used in the material material and formed part of the clothes. "They were heavy. I don't know how they could wear these things." Kim has also been able to do research for people that have written to the museum looking for information on their families. The only part of her job that she is nervous about now is giving tours when the museum opens to the public again. But she had her first taste of that the first day on the job. The curator had stepped out and, even though the building is closed for the season, two women came in asking for a tour. "I kept apologizing because because I didn't know much about the displays," she said. Since then she has had the chance to learn more about the displays and about life in Bowmanville years ago. And she is ready to share that information when the museum opens on March 31. r Jason Arney (left) and Adam Parks, of the Salva- February 16 as the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts of the tion Army 5th Scouts, demonstrate how one sleeps un- Salvation Army 5th held an open house to celebrate der a lean-to when one is camping in the winter.
