2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 17,1962 SMALL TALK By Donna Fairey "South Pacific" Opens Next Wednesday Night Instead of baking it they're making it. More women each year are earning their bread. From necessity, necessity, many who could otherwise have achieved fulfillment from home, hearth and family have become become supplementary bread winners. For the sake of economic survival, legions of women across the country are combining a job with home- making. However, the trend to women in the work force by no means diminishes the traditional role of the housewife. Women who go to work because they must are not to be confused with ones who take a job by choice. Some women seem career destined from birth while others are blessed with a generous infusion of the nesting instinct. Although I recognize recognize the merit of both types of women it just happens this week that I'm on the soapbox for housewives. The full time pursuit of homemaking is the first female profession and should not be undersold. But, somehow in today's turned around society housewives are sometimes made to feel they are second class citizens. The well adjusted adjusted ones toss such sarcasm aside Two Man Race For Region Chairman Seat m&m Gary Herrema Fresh on the heels of municipal elections across Durham, the next contest to be decided is the regional chairman's seat. The two contenders vying for the S ist are incumbent chairman Gary errema and Oshawa regional councillor John Aker. The axe will fall for the two men on December 8th during Durham Region council's inaugural meeting when one of them will be eût out of the race. The chairman's'seat is achieved through a regional \pduncil years ago by Councillor Aker, Winning narrowly by two votes. Thelwinner John Aker of the chairman's seat for the next three years will be the man who gains the majority of votes from Durham Region's 30 member council. Mr. Herrema is a 43-year-old farmer from Uxbridge who has served as the town's mayor and was a member of regional council prior to his election in 1980 to Durham's top post. Oshawa regional councillor John Aker, 39, is an insurance company | president who/ has 10 years > experience on Durham Region and Oshawa councils.' During the past term, Mr. Aker vras chairman of the region's finance committee. Hydro Delays Darlington From or down -- at the lowest cost. "This alternative will spread the manpower needs more evenly over the life of the proiect," Nastich said. "The people we T d planned to hire between 1983 and 1987 will now be hired in the 1988-92period instead." Between 300 ana 700 jobs will be rescheduled -- mostly in construction trades. At peak the project will employ 2,900 people. The overall effect on the project's total cost depends mainly on what happens to the inflation rate and interest rates between now and 1992. "The bottom line is this: in the long term, the faster we complete Darlington, the lower the cost of electricity; in the short term, the Board felt that in the current hard Present this ad and receive M.00 Off any size pizza (one coupon per pizza) BROTHERS' PIZZA SPAGHETTI HOUSE AND DINING LOUNGE HOMEMADE PIZZA OUR SPECIALTY OUR FAMOUS I^IZZA ARE HOMEMADE FROM START TO FINISH TWO CHOICES; Call For Free Delivery In Town or Come In and Enjoy our Dining Lounge 623-4666 623-4668 35 King St. East -- Bowmanville Page 1 economic times, we should be putting as little pressure as possible on the financial markets," Nastich said. Community Relations Officer Sue Stickley said this week that some layoffs will occur at Darlington this winter. However, these are part of the scheduled winter slowdown at the construction site. Layoffs are not due to the recent changes in scheduling announced by Hydro Ms. Stickley said. She explained that about 75 Darlington workers have been laid off in recent weeks and another 100 employees may still face winter layoffs. At present, there are 1,900 persons employed at the Darlington site.

These narrow opinions are no less slanted than the aspersions cast upon career women who are group labelled feminists and women's libbers. Not all, however, are capable of turning a deaf ear. I was disturbed recently at the response I overheard a woman give when she was asked what she did for a living. "Oh, I'm just a housewife,' ng. . she admitted. There's no "justs" about it and least of all, there's no shame in the occupation. The homemakers' homemakers' role is of mammoth importance importance and consequence to the family unit and society itself. Performed Performed properly, it requires versatility, versatility, stamina and a diverse set of finely honed talents. Consider the areas of expertise contained in the role of mother and housewife. She is called upon to be cook, cleaning lady, seamstress, doctor, nurse, psychologist, hostess, conversationalist, tutor, gardener, laundress, decorator and the list goes on. Modern day women are also advised they should be well groomed, fashionable, witty, sexy and knowledgable about current topics and world affairs. It's little wonder that housewives are an endangered species. But, ironically, it's not the demands of the job which are driving them out of the house. The prevailing economics of the past few years are literally forcing women into the workplace simply to make ends meet, not because they yearn to be there. At present the full time pursuit of housewifery appears to be in jeopardy. jeopardy. If the economic climate of the future should preclude the existence of the happy homemaker, much will be lost. The way things are going, anything is possible. 11 The Drama Club of the Bowmanville High School has been hard at work the .ast few weeks preparing for its opening performance of "South Pacific," next Wednesday night.
