i 2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, June 13,1984 SMALL TALK By Donna Fairey Jaycette Awarded Highest Honor With new adversities springing up every week, life for the smoker becomes less mellow and likewise less acceptable. Leaders in the medical medical field, for instance, want the sale of cigarettes cigarettes in drugstores abolished. Pressure is currently being applied to the large chains like Shoppers Drug Mart, urging them to set an example. However, However, Shoppers claims it can ill afford such a move considering the multi million dollar annual annual profits cigarette sales bring to the company. company. Suffering under pressure pressure also are the major Teacher Is Principal -Designate From Page One and served as a master teacher for student teachers from Queen's University. University. "I thought, I've done it before, why not do it again," he said when he described how he felt about taking taking a break from teaching at Cour- tice in order to try a new educational educational experience. As principal-designate, he'll be responsible for the school administration administration and the hiring of staff, planning planning courses, and setting up labs and classrooms. "We're right now in the process of hiringthe teachers and the working staff," said Mr. Bradley. A crew of eight university students students is already employed on general general cleanup and maintenance of the grounds. They're getting the 100-acre site ready for the first students who are expected in September. In the first year, between 150 and 200 will be attending classes here. In following years, enrolment of the co-educa- tional school will grow to a maximum of 400. As he speaks of the new college being prepared at the 100-acre site of the former Pine Ridge Training School, he points out that it will be a majorbenefitto the municipality. "If we can put Bowmanville on the map through this college, that's a strike in our favor," said Mr. Bradley. Bradley. And there are certain economic benefits resulting from the additional additional staff hired for the school and the influx of students. A conservative estimate of the amounjJof money spent to purchase ' the property and renovate buildings buildings would be one-half million dollars, dollars, Mr. Bradley said. j v The goal of the new international college in Bowmanville will be to prepare Malaysian students for colleges colleges and universities in Canada and the United States. Students will be between 17 and 19 years of age and they will have completed four years of high school instruction instruction in English. In effect, Sri Inai will be offering grade 13 courses for students in their final year of secondary school. To help place students in a suitable post-secondary school, the college will utilize a placement officer. As a former teacher in Malaysia, Mr. Bradley understands the objective objective behind Sri Inai. Previously, students tended to earn their degrees degrees in a British educational environment environment by attending universities in places such as England, Australia, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. But educators in this new country are anxious to see students trained in a North American setting. And that's why Sri Inai International College will be an important component component of the country's educational system. The students who will come to Bowmanville will be in Canada only as students. Once they have completed their schooling, they'll return to Malaysia to begin their careers. Mr. Bradley explains that the first students to arrive will be studying towards degrees in engineering and business. However, as the college college develops, additional subjects will be offered and young people outside of Malaysia will eventually be included in the student body. The enrolment of other overseas students, along with Canadians and Americans will eventually make the college a truly interational institute. institute. V Duncan E^radley and his wife, Greta, who js also a teacher, have four children. The family has been in Bowmanville since the early days of the Bradleys' teaching careers. After teaching for a few years at Bowmanville High School, Mr. Bradley has been a teacher at Courtice Secondary School since the school was built in 1960.

But like the drugstore chains, Air Canada and the others continue to waffle rather than sacrifice sacrifice the profits they collect from smoking passengers. Indeed, corporations maintain that keeping a business in the black is difficult enough these days without without letting potential profit slip through their hands only to go up in uncaptured smoke. Smoking is an issue that's coming to a slow burn. Municipalities are endorsing by-laws to prohibit smoking in public buildings. The medical profession wants legislation which would clearly see the health hazards related to tobacco printed on all cigarette packages. Some have gone so far as to suggest the display of a skull and cross- bones image on all cigarette jackets. It was four months ago that I abandoned smoking. I'd like to say that the inspiration to give up weeds was self initiated, but it wasn't. I can, however, take credit for launching the action which ended more than 20 years of nicotine indulgence. People want to know if I feel better. The answer answer is no. Do you have more wind for climbing stairs and the like? Again, no. The medical profession, however, tells me that absti nence affords me an opportunity opportunity to live longer and reduces my chances of contracting a number of diseases. Others are curious about the quantity of extra cash saved by not smoking and how quickly it accumulates. I don't know where it's going, for in my case there isn't any. However, However, the gal in the next office who also went on the wagon in February claims she has saved a tidy $400. There have, however, been obvious benefits. benefits. No more digging digging for matches. No more searching for an ashtray in public places. No more wondering wondering if my second hand smoke is irritating irritating someone else. No more nicotine scented clothes. Indeed, once I relearned what to do with my hands and how to enjoy coffee or a drink without a cigarette, life without them is really quite tolerable. tolerable. Clearly, attitude is the key to quitting. Thinking it would be nice to stop isn't enough. There's a vast difference between trying trying to quit and quitting. This comes from the horses mouth. Moreover, with the mushrooming unpopularity unpopularity of smoking, it's considerably easier to be on the side of the good guys.
