A large crane is seen here as it lifts a sail boat from the water near Manore Marine, Toronto Professor Speaks at CentraliaCollege Dr. Arthur Porter, a professor of Industrial Engineering, Univ- ersity of Toronto; Academic Commissioner, University of Western Ontario, and a member of the Royal Commission on the Status of Women, was guest speaker at Centralia College. In his lecture, "Women, Tech- nology, and Society, " Dr. Porter discussed the women's role in tackling the problems that face the technology environment of our society. He stated there has been little biological or physiological change in the human species for thousands of years. What has been changed is man's environ- ment and with the advent of the computer society is thrown into the transition of going from a "muscle culture" to a "cereb- ral" culture. Dr. Porter pointed out that all through history periods of conflict and strife have resulted when transitions or changes have taken place, He said the keyword of today's conflicts is "automation." "It's a bit scary... and it's implications hit all persons." Some persons feel man is being supplanted by the computer, but Dr. Porter said, in reality man is being released by automation. Computers will more and more take over the "muscle" jobs and leave man's brain free to solve the problems of our civil- ALLOWEEN MASQUERADE DANCE IN THE ZURICH COMMUNITY CENTRE FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1970 MUSIC BY SEN MITTELHOLTZ Lunch and Refreshments $30 in Prizes SPONSORED BY ZURICH & THE TWYLITES Tickets $2.50 Each LIONS CLUB ization. Because of increasing use of automation in the home more and more women are entering the labor force, Dr. Porter said women today are playing a central role in devising langu- ages of how to compute with the machines. Unlike men, who are "object oriented, " i.e. only do one thing at a time, women are process oriented, and tend to look at situations in their entir- ety, - "We now realize that women have a flair for interacting com- puters, " the professor stated. Dr. Porter, urged women to become better educated and not settle for second class positions as offered to them in the past. With woman's aptitudes and her great empathy there should be many more of them in such fields as Law, Medicine and Dentistry, he said. Dr. Porter also spoke on the problems of pollution, and stressed our environment is only going to be saved for future generations if society is willing to pay the price. "Our standards of living will have to come down and instead of approaching a subject by ask- ing how much profit we can make from it. we must ask in- stead of approaching a subject by asking how much profit we can make from it, we must ask instead, how little bad effect it will have on the environment:' It will take the skills of both sexes to solve the tremendous problems of the next fifty years. "If men don't want to look at it this way, then women must become much more militant in demanding that they be allowed to give their empathetic appro- ach to making decisions." "All human resources must be used to tackle the fantastic prob- lems of pollution,poverty, and women have a tremendous part to play, " the doctor concluded. New Symbols Adopted For Use By Workmen's Compensation Board, Ont. A versatile, distinctive new corporate symbol has been adopted by the Workmen's Compensation Board, Ontario, it was announced this week. The symbol's versatility lies in the numerous ways in which it can be adapted, For example, in appropriate situations it will be employed by the province's industrial accident prevention associations which joined the Board in making the announce- ment. The symbol will also carry safety messages such as reminders j to wear protective equipment or warnings about hazards. The new design is composed of three elements: a circle, in- side of which is a diamond, which in turn contains a variat- ion, based on the crass, of the age-old international symbol of man. The circle represents perfect- ion, the family, happiness, the continuity of life; the diamond is an internationally - recogniz- ed warning sign, representing the W,C.B.'s most important activity, accident prevention; the cross form, an element developed to represent the act- ivities of the W. C , B , itself, is reminiscent of hospital use and emphasizes the feeling of int- egrity and protection. The circle with the diamond inside of it forms the matrix and remains constant for any of the uses to which the new symbol it put. When the new design is used by any of the accident prevent- ion associations, the matrix will contain the individual symbol of that association. The associations are: the Construction Safety Association of Ontario, the Electrical Util- ities Safety Association of Ont- ario, the Forest Products Accid- ent Prevention Association, the Farm Safety Department, the Industrial Accident Prevention Association, the Ontario Hospital Association's Accident Prevent- ion Department, the Ontario Pulp and Paper Makers' Safety Association and the Transport- ation Safety Association. When used to present safety messages, the matrix will contain that message in symbol form. This might, for example, be a hard hat to indicate a hard hat area. The complete symbol thereby will in itself be a safety message and at the same time indicate that the message orig- inates with the Workmen's Comp. ensation Board and the accident Prevention associations.
