In addiâ€" tion, details of his case are publicized so the engineer must face public censure as well. If a boat or a vehicle is unâ€" safe, or a building dangerâ€" ous, the professional engiâ€" neer is accountable. And to live up to his calling he must report any situation which he feels may endanger the safety or welfare of the pubâ€" lic. All _ engineering _ docuâ€" ments, therefore, carry the signature or seal of the proâ€" fessional engineer under whose direction they were prepared. This is, in éffect, a "guarantee"‘, not one that expires in 30 days or two years, but one by which the engineer must stand. Suspension, or expulsion for life from the profession, It requires that engineers regard their duty to the pubâ€" lic above all else. Every enâ€" gineer must make effective provisions for the safety of life and health of people who may be affected by his work. The APEOâ€"Ontario‘s larâ€" gest professional organizaâ€" tionâ€"now has 34,000 memâ€" bers, and their activities touch, on the lives of every citizen. Whether the project is a local water main, or the development of sophistiâ€" cated electronic equipment sold by Canadians around the world, it carries the imâ€" print of an Ontario engineer. It is not widely known that the professional engiâ€" neer on registration must subscribe to the APEO‘s code of ethics, and this code shapes his professional activities. The chapter chairman is Larry Mason, P. Eng., of Kitchener, and members include the engineers who work and live in virtually every community in the Kitâ€" chenerâ€"Waterloo area. The task force has been asked to find: ways> by which the measurement of local and regional govâ€" ernment performance can be improved.

The five traditional branches of engineering are civil, mechanical, mining, electrical _ and â€" chemical and these are subâ€"divided into an everâ€"growing numâ€" ber of specialties as techâ€" nology advances. The evolutionâ€" of new engineering sciences is a relatively â€" recent phenoâ€" menon, for the practice of engineering was for cenâ€" turies a military function, concerned with construcâ€" tion of fortifications, roads and bridges. Civilians who designed buildings, canals, waterworks _ and _ drains were more apt to be describâ€" ed as architects. While the engineer has traditionally been an inâ€" novator and creator, he now is more and more in the foreâ€" front of environmental and ecological groups. The APEO is proud of the record of its members in leading the way as Ontario cleans up the Great Lakes, restores the purity of the air in cities and towns and protects the beauty of the landscape. Today, many engineers are found in such diverse fields as banking, teaching, medicine, retail and the arts. An engineer is by naâ€" ture and training a logical and analytical person who has learned to apply imaginâ€" ation and creativity to the probiemâ€"solving process. This is a talent valued in every field of human enâ€" deavour. More women are turning to engineering as their life profession. . Ontario now has about 60 women enâ€" gineers (the national assoâ€" ciation has a woman direcâ€" tor for the first time in its history) with the number of female students choosâ€" ing engineering courses at colleges _ increasing _ anâ€" nually. erning body, with some members of its executive council elected by other enâ€" gineers, and some appointâ€" ed by the Lieutenant Govâ€" ernor of the Province of Onâ€" tario as well.

Lest you should, inadvertently, think otherwise, pray do not be deceived by the obtuse ramifications of the unholy and insidious media. How‘s that? I can write that stuff myself. Oh, well, Burwash old boy, it takes all kinds. But you‘re getting there, kid. On June 12, you were Assistant Secreâ€" tary at Cocaâ€"Cola. On June 21, you were Secretary. It must be that magnificent, Churchillian prose style. How about that? "Of necessity"? “f)iligent in safeguardâ€" ing ‘? "Inadvertently"? That language is straight out of a novel by Dickens. In the meantime, is it all right if I burn a little coke in my fireplace? Or should I just cool off and have a Pepsi? ‘‘Coke"‘ distinguishes and identifies only the product of this Company (large "c ) and we must of necessity be diliâ€" gent in safeâ€"guarding it against improper use lest inadvertâ€" ently, it loses its distinctiveness and significance." I hope old Burwash didn‘t write the same letter to all the other editors. Knowing weekly editors, I‘m sure, if he did, that most of the letters wound up in the trashâ€"can. I won‘t bore you with brother Burwash‘s whole letter which was almost identical in both cases (sorry, Donald) because it is a very boring letter. But here‘s a sample: He pounced on a column of mine recently in which the sacrilegious word was used twice with a small "c¢. Two ofthe. more than 100 papers using this column sent me along his hurt letter of protest. Hi, Harry Stemp of the Lake Simcoe Advocate, and Hi, Mrs. l}rebner of the Meaford Exâ€" press. . Whenever he sees the word Coke written with a small "c, he pounces. He doesn‘t get hysterical, but he does get a bit stuffy. â€" Anyway. There is this fellow, Donald Burwash, who works for Cocaâ€"Cola Ltd. He is a pouncer. Not a bouncer, which we don‘t need when we‘re dealing with soft drinks but a pounâ€" cer. The roofer is a fine fellow, but he wasn‘t going to argue with a lady. He agreed that you can‘t have too much insulaâ€" tion. Then he said, "I guess you‘d want a couple of louvres?~ i just nodded, numbly. A couple of art museums? Fine. Might as well go for the works. But I have a few other people to dispose of, so let‘s get on with it. How about Cocoaâ€"Cola? I can feel the blood mounâ€" ting again. Perhaps it‘s a mistake taking on both my wife‘and Cocaâ€" Cola in the same column. They are both undisposable, if not undispensible. But my wife is much more formidable. There. I‘ve disposed of my wife, and I feel better already. The blood is beginning to recede from my head and go back to its normal channels. Admittedly, not many people call up a roofer and say, "I‘d like my roof taken off."" But, as a rule, they take off the old one before they put on the new one. OK? That‘s when the Old Battleaxe opened her mouth. ‘"What about the insulation?"" She wouldn‘t know an insulation if it bit her on the kneecap, but she has this subconscious deâ€" sire to be an engineer. Now, I‘ve nothing against women, particularly, though I have generally, and nothing against roofers at all, though they charge too much and get you involved in all sorts of side issues like louvres and insulation and squirrels. I‘m going to put her in the attic, with a gag in her mouth, rolled up in a piece of that roofing that will be left over after our shingling job, which she ordered. It‘s not that my wife has an extra big mouth for a woman, but every time she opens it, it costs me money. I had a perâ€" fectly straightforward deal with a roofer to put on a roof. That‘s what roofers are for, besides taking them off. I have a number of thingstobedisposedoflhiswee/k,and the first is my wife. Don‘t worry, I‘m not going to put her in the basement and cover her with fresh cement. That‘s oldâ€"fashioned, and you usually get caught. â€" C I know what a squirrel is, and I‘ve a vague idea about inâ€" sulation, but I haven‘t a clue about louvres. I thought it was some kind of an art gallery in Paris, but it turns out to be a couple of holes up around the roof so the air can circulate.
