Smid, the Netherlands. Paving Approved for Two Streets in Bowmanville Charlie Warren believes today's homes may be built even better than they used to be. Mr. Warren, a carpenter by trade and former building inspector, said that if houses are constructed by respectable respectable contractors, according to building code regulations, they should be even better than houses of the past. Although retired from fulltime fulltime work, he still does a few odd jobs, especially small things that people have wanted done for years. "I've kept my hand in, he said. Mr. Warren says one of the biggest changes in the field of carpentry and construction is the amount of do-it-yourself material available today. While he believes the do-it- yourself trend is a good thing for the consumer, he believes that many do-it-yourselfers don't realize how much work a project will require. He pointed out that some of today's modern construction products were not even available at the time he was working as a carpenter. Mr. Warren was bom at Uthoff, near Orillia. He started his education in Orillia and then moved to Toronto where he finished schooling. Charlie Warren began his apprenticeship in 1925 and studied for four years before becoming a journeyman. His apprenticeship included education at a technical schopl based in Toronto. Although he was fully trained as a carpenter, he believes you never stop learning. Just after he completed his schooling in carpentry, the Great Depression started and he found that in 1929, carpentry work was hard to find. There was nothing comparable comparable to today's welfare or unemployment benefits but . the government did provide work for single people on the Trans Canada Highway in northern Ontario.

The pay was 35 cents per hour and the temperature near Kenora, Ontario, was sometimes 40 below. In the spring, he found work in western Ontario at farms near Seaforth and St. Marys. His move to the Bowmanville Bowmanville area came later, when he was offered a job at a farm near Zion while visiting his parents at their home on Courtice Rd. At first, he worked for area farmers, but by 1938 he was able to return to his old trade of carpentry. At this time,' in which he married his wife, Eva Marion, a former school teacher at Zion school.
