Bits ‘n’ Pieces — wy ate top

If your bank is the Toronto
Dominion Bank, you probably
know some of the people or
most of the people there. The
person who has worked there
the longest is Mrs. Theo
Willcox. She won’t be there
much longer, however.

As a matter of fact, today is
her last day. Theo is retiring.

Theo, her husband and their
family came to Vancouver
from Wales in 1970. A fair bit
of her life in the last 30 years
or so has been spent working in
a bank. In the early 60°s; while
her husband was postedin
Germany, she worked in a Ger-
man bank in Hamburg. She
had to learn a bit of German at
first, but she found that the
Germans were only too happy
to. practise their English on her.
When she had to speak Ger-
‘man; she was not too particular
about the grammar. She would
say die for everything and let
them sort it out.

- For the six months they lived
in Vancouver, she worked for

the Bank of Montreal. They

moved to Terrace in June 1970,
-.when her husband accepted a
' teaching position with North-
west Community College and
she worked at the Bank of
Montreal here. She moved to

the Toronto Dominion Bank in.

1972.

She started in Posting and
Ledgers and went on the
Loans. For the last six months.
she has been the administration
officer.

Banking has changed a lot in
the last 10 years, she mentions.
The bank came on line with
computers, first savings, then
chequing and loans, and now
everything is decentralized from
head office and put on line at

the branches. The latest addi- —

tion is the Green Machine.

The Willcoxs have not
thought about moving, but
then you never know what hap-
pens at some time or other.
While we are both young and
healthy, she says, we could go
for an absolute change, and
have a whole new lease on life.
For, now, she is looking for-
ward to seeing her family in
England in March. Although
she has cancellation insurance
for her ticket, she’s not going.
anywhere in. February. She
might not even get out of bed,
she says, until it is time to go.

- Whatever she does in her retire-

ment, she knows she won’t be
bored. She will be missed at the
bank and we wish her all the
best. :

A new business has sprung

- up in Terrace. It is a business

of aesthetics and in this day and
age aesthetics has become big
business.

Karlene Clark, Aesthetician,
started her own business called
Images. Karlene is not new at
this. She has provided this ser-
vice to clients, male and
female, from all over since
1983, when she started working
at Rhonda’s Hair Design. As
long as she can remember,
she’s always wanted to be an
aesthetician.

Her family moved to Terrace
when she was a young girl. She
went to school here and .
graduated from Skeena High.
At the time there were few
schools in Canada where a per-
son could become an aestheti-
cian and most of them were in
Montreal, where the course was
taught in French. After having
gone to England with her
mother for a holiday, she look-
ed around London and later
enrolled in the DuBarry School
of Beauty, right on Bond
Street, in the heart of London.
It was a very exciting time.

After graducation, she
returned home to Terrace. Here
she met and married her hus-
band, Ron Clark. They raised a
family, and it was not until
1983 that she realized her
lifelong dream, when she

ed her shop to accomodate this
new addition to the business.
After being employed at Rhon-

has struck out on her own and

.opened lnages.

She provides an array of ser-
vices, like eyebrow shaping and
eyelash and eyebrow tinting |
(great for blondes). Manicures
are part of the service and with
it comes. Nail Art, if desired, by
the client. After the nails are
polished, one of them will be
decorated with tiny stones or
designs, to suit the occasion or
dress. According to Karlene,
North American women have a
totally different attitude to
skincare than their European
counterparts. —

North American women tend
to spend lots of money on
make up, to cover what's
wrong with their skin, rather
than caring for the skin itself.

When Karlene talks about
facials, she means deep clean-
ing the skin and massaging it.
It is a very relaxing and
pampering thing to do, she
says. It helps to moisturize dry

To have a facial is to be good
to your skin.

- Another part of the service
she provides is warm wax hair
removal, like eyebrows and
facial hair. She also does body
waxing, like bikini lines and
legs. With ali the fitness going
on these days, people are more
concerned about their ap-
pearance. Waxing is a year-
round business.

She'll be happy to talk to you.
