CONCERNED ABOUT PROBLEM<br />
Mo<strong>st</strong> Cariboo Junior Secondary<br />
School <strong>st</strong>udents are<br />
garbage oriented, <strong>the</strong>y care<br />
about how <strong>the</strong> place looks,<br />
said Barry Nordin of <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>st</strong>udent executive.<br />
The school has a garbage<br />
man of <strong>the</strong> day whose duty is<br />
to clean up <strong>the</strong> excessive litter<br />
made inside <strong>and</strong> outside of <strong>the</strong><br />
school, said Debbie Cold well,<br />
also on <strong>the</strong> executive.<br />
"We try our be<strong>st</strong> not to<br />
litter, we do our part", Debbie<br />
said.<br />
Cariboo tries to be involved<br />
in community activities such<br />
as <strong>the</strong> dinner for old age<br />
pensioners <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> garbathon,<br />
said Barry.<br />
Over 100 people participat-<br />
Council approves loan<br />
of lumber to schools<br />
Town council approved<br />
lending lumber to Carson<br />
Elementary <strong>and</strong> <strong>Quesnel</strong> Junior<br />
Secondary Schools to build<br />
outdoor ice rinks.<br />
"It's as I cautioned two<br />
weeks ago, one school applies<br />
<strong>and</strong> gets permissions <strong>and</strong> all<br />
Council okays cut<br />
on parking spaces<br />
Town council approved removal<br />
of three parking spaces<br />
near <strong>the</strong> library on Carson<br />
Avenue.<br />
Aid. John Panagrot said <strong>the</strong><br />
spaces make it difficult for<br />
anyone wanting to make a left<br />
-h<strong>and</strong> turn at <strong>the</strong> corner.<br />
Traffic is often backed up<br />
onto Front Street waiting for<br />
someone to turn, said Aid.<br />
Panagrot.<br />
"How many spaces would<br />
be lo<strong>st</strong> if all spaces in that<br />
block are taken out?" asked<br />
Aid. Lon Godfrey.<br />
"It would put a hardship on<br />
<strong>the</strong> businesses <strong>the</strong>re to take<br />
out all <strong>the</strong> spaces", said Aid.<br />
Panagrot.<br />
o<strong>the</strong>rs want it", said Aid. Lon<br />
Godfrey.<br />
Council passed a motion<br />
approving lending lumber to<br />
Correlieu Senior Secondary<br />
School at <strong>the</strong> Nov. 25 meeting.<br />
The rinks are in different<br />
areas, so everyone benefits.<br />
from <strong>the</strong>m, said Aid. Gloria<br />
Lazzarin.<br />
Town children come back<br />
after school to use <strong>the</strong>m, Aid.<br />
Lazzarin adc'ed.<br />
"It wouldn't be half bad if<br />
<strong>the</strong>y did use it",.said Mayor<br />
Ceal Tingley.<br />
"I know Carson has used<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir's a lot", said Aid. Lazzarin.<br />
Aid. John Panagrot moved<br />
<strong>the</strong> motion to approve lending<br />
<strong>the</strong> lumber <strong>and</strong> Aid. Lazzarin<br />
seconded it.<br />
Municipalities asked to send<br />
letters of prote<strong>st</strong> to B.C.R.<br />
Town council will ask north<br />
central municipalities to send<br />
a letter of prote<strong>st</strong> to <strong>the</strong><br />
provincial government about<br />
<strong>the</strong> B.C. Railway <strong>st</strong>rike.<br />
They will also ask <strong>the</strong> town<br />
councils to sugge<strong>st</strong> <strong>the</strong> general<br />
populace send letters of<br />
prote<strong>st</strong>.<br />
Aid. Jim Girvin sugge<strong>st</strong>ed<br />
sending a wire of prote<strong>st</strong> to<br />
<strong>the</strong> government <strong>and</strong> Aid. Lon<br />
Godfrey sugge<strong>st</strong>ed asking all<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r municipalities to do <strong>the</strong><br />
same.<br />
"I can't under<strong>st</strong><strong>and</strong> why<br />
everyone in <strong>the</strong> province isn't<br />
concerned", said Mayor Ceal<br />
Council <strong>st</strong>ill unsure on<br />
condominium approval<br />
Town council will decide,<br />
after seeing letters showing<br />
continuity of action, whe<strong>the</strong>r<br />
or not <strong>the</strong>y should apply<br />
Bylaw 654 to P.J. O'Leary's<br />
planned condominium in We<strong>st</strong><br />
Quesenl.<br />
Mr. O'Leary had received<br />
approval for <strong>the</strong> condominium<br />
Dec. 6. 1973 <strong>and</strong> re-approval<br />
Feb. 11, 1974.<br />
"You mu<strong>st</strong> assure council of<br />
<strong>the</strong> reason for <strong>the</strong> delay, since<br />
your tentative approval has<br />
gone by", said Aid. Lon<br />
Godfrey.<br />
"The government changed<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir plans sub<strong>st</strong>antially<br />
shortly after I had been here<br />
la<strong>st</strong> December", said Mr.<br />
O'Leary.<br />
"I reapplied for government<br />
approval Dec. 27", he said.<br />
"Are you asking for council's<br />
approval again?" said<br />
Mayor Ceal Tingley.<br />
"Yes, I didn't know if <strong>the</strong>re<br />
was a limit on <strong>the</strong> February<br />
approval", Mr. O'Leary said.<br />
"A principle is involved, do<br />
we say because of tentative<br />
approval given earlier <strong>and</strong> an<br />
unfortunate delay we should<br />
preclude him from <strong>the</strong> new<br />
bylaw which is up for third<br />
reading", said Aid. Godfrey.<br />
"We need proof of continuity<br />
of dates <strong>and</strong> efforts before<br />
we can consider what is to be<br />
done", he said.<br />
"I am ju<strong>st</strong> applying for<br />
re-approval of <strong>the</strong> original<br />
approval okaying sub-division",<br />
Mr. O'Leary said.<br />
"We could re-approve <strong>the</strong><br />
application for sub-division<br />
subject to council making a<br />
decision based on a l<strong>and</strong> use<br />
contract <strong>and</strong> subdivision bylay",<br />

"Because it doesn't affect<br />
<strong>the</strong>m personally, how many of<br />
us were concerned about <strong>the</strong><br />
ferry <strong>st</strong>rike?", asked Aid.<br />
Girvin.<br />
"We should send a wire of<br />
prote<strong>st</strong> every week until this<br />
matter is settled", said Aid.<br />
Gloria Lazzarin.<br />
"How many council members<br />
have sent a personal letter<br />
of prote<strong>st</strong>?", asked Aid.,<br />
Girvin.<br />
None of <strong>the</strong> members had<br />
sent letter.<br />
"I sugge<strong>st</strong> we all do so",<br />
Aid. Girvin said.<br />
QUESNEL CARIBOO OBSERVER WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1974-13<br />
ed in Cariboo's third annual<br />
fall garbathon <strong>and</strong> 464 bags of<br />
garbage were picked up this<br />
year, Debbie said.<br />
The garbathon is sponsored<br />
by local businessmen <strong>and</strong> both<br />
<strong>st</strong>udents <strong>and</strong> parents work for<br />
a day cleaning up <strong>the</strong> town,<br />
she explained.<br />
"Litter is everyone's problem,<br />
it's hard to acknowledge<br />
<strong>the</strong> mess we make until we<br />
see o<strong>the</strong>r places cleaned up,"<br />
said Barry.<br />
"Cariboo tries hard not to<br />
litter, we do have people who<br />
do, it's so hard to avoid", he<br />
said.<br />
JOHNSTON SUBDIVISION DELEGATION<br />
every two<br />
Town council will consider<br />
placing <strong>st</strong>op signs every two<br />
blocks on Johnson Avenue<br />
<strong>and</strong> placing truck route signs<br />
on alternate routes ra<strong>the</strong>r<br />
than through John<strong>st</strong>on subdivision.<br />
Council received two letters<br />
'from residents of John<strong>st</strong>on<br />
subdivision asking why it had<br />
defeated Aid. John Panagrot's<br />
motion to deny access to<br />
trucks over 24,000 pounds to<br />
<strong>the</strong> subdivision.<br />
From 10-12 residents of <strong>the</strong><br />
area were at <strong>the</strong> meeting to<br />
talk to council about its<br />
decision.<br />
"It is difficult for me to<br />
under<strong>st</strong><strong>and</strong>, why a council,<br />
who by definition have <strong>the</strong><br />
be<strong>st</strong> intere<strong>st</strong>s of <strong>the</strong> citizens<br />
<strong>the</strong>y represent at heart,<br />
would make such a decision",<br />
said a letter by G.A. Worobey<br />
to council.<br />
"It isn't logical to treat<br />
different areas differently",<br />
said Mayor Ceal Tingley.<br />
"If we re<strong>st</strong>ricted traffic<br />
through John<strong>st</strong>on, people<br />
from o<strong>the</strong>r areas would come<br />
<strong>and</strong> say 'you did it for <strong>the</strong>m<br />
why not for us' ", said Mayor<br />
Tingley.<br />
• "We all agree we don't want<br />
trucks in our areas more than<br />
is necessary, but I don't think<br />
it's that difficult to get<br />
people's co-operation", he<br />
said.<br />
CONCERNED<br />
"I'm concerned about <strong>the</strong><br />
letter indicating we don't give<br />
a tinkers damn about children",<br />
said Aid. Lon Godfrey.<br />
There was a serious accident<br />
on Kinchant Street <strong>and</strong><br />
we have taken remedial action<br />
<strong>the</strong>re, Aid. Godfrey said.<br />
Major truck traffic has<br />
lessened in <strong>the</strong> subdivision,<br />
but it should not be re<strong>st</strong>ricted,<br />
he said.<br />
"In an emergency situation<br />
what would happen if it was<br />
illegal for trucks to go<br />
through John<strong>st</strong>on?", he asked.<br />
"There is an alternative<br />
route, I can't under<strong>st</strong><strong>and</strong> how<br />
council can refuse permission<br />
to re<strong>st</strong>rict traffic", said Mr.<br />
Worobey.<br />
"It would be different if this<br />

9 a.m. to 11 p.m.<br />
sinsu<br />
was a delegation asking you to<br />
provide an alternate route",<br />
he said.<br />
"My fear is <strong>the</strong>re will be an<br />
increase of traffic because<br />
council did not say <strong>the</strong>y were<br />
again<strong>st</strong> trucks using John<strong>st</strong>on<br />
'", he added.<br />
"The reason why mo<strong>st</strong><br />
worked so hard to get <strong>the</strong><br />
bridge is to re<strong>st</strong>rict traffic<br />
through <strong>the</strong> area", said Aid.<br />
Gloria Lazzarin.<br />
All residential areas have<br />
trucks going through <strong>the</strong>m,<br />
you can't re<strong>st</strong>rict <strong>the</strong>m in one<br />
area, Aid. Lazzarin said.<br />
"You can't say ju<strong>st</strong> because<br />
<strong>the</strong>re are trucks <strong>the</strong>re are<br />
going to be accidents", she<br />
said.<br />
The accident on Kinchant<br />
Street involved a car <strong>and</strong> it<br />
could ju<strong>st</strong> as easily have<br />
involved a motorcycle, she<br />
said.<br />
STOPPING<br />
"I don't think Arrow<br />
trucks can <strong>st</strong>op as fa<strong>st</strong> as a car<br />
<strong>and</strong> la<strong>st</strong> Sunday I counted six<br />
of <strong>the</strong>m going through", said<br />

"The main thing is to get an<br />

said.<br />
There are a few applications<br />
in for o<strong>the</strong>r positions, he<br />

The society is con<strong>st</strong>ructing<br />
an intermediate care home for<br />

"The increase will only add<br />
$2,000 to <strong>the</strong> association's<br />
budget", said Aid. Gloria<br />
Lazzarin.<br />
"If <strong>the</strong>y had received <strong>the</strong><br />

High vitamin foods<br />
fortify your teeth<br />
Resi<strong>st</strong>ance in teeth is<br />
caused by foods high in<br />
vitamins A <strong>and</strong> C, calcium <strong>and</strong><br />
protein.<br />
In order to get enough of<br />
<strong>the</strong> proper foods in a day it<br />
takes three balanced meals.<br />
Skipping breakfa<strong>st</strong> causes a<br />
lack of <strong>the</strong> necessary nutrients<br />
for lunch.<br />
A skipped breakfa<strong>st</strong> causes<br />
hunger by 10 a.m. because of<br />
low blood sugar, revivative of<br />
blood glucose not related to<br />
table sugar.<br />
To counter <strong>the</strong> tired feeling<br />
caused by low blood sugar,<br />
people often snack on food<br />
made from sugar <strong>and</strong> refined<br />
grains, <strong>and</strong> this increases<br />
<strong>the</strong> chance of dental disease.<br />
Without a balanced breakfa<strong>st</strong>,<br />
a person is more likely to<br />
be upset <strong>and</strong> nervous <strong>and</strong><br />
consequently snack more than<br />
a calm person.<br />
A breakfa<strong>st</strong> high in table<br />
sugar will also cause severe<br />
depression <strong>and</strong> anxiety.<br />
Before seeing a denti<strong>st</strong><br />
breakfa<strong>st</strong> should not include:<br />
donuts, rolls, pancakes, white<br />
bread, sweetened fruit juice,<br />
mo<strong>st</strong> dry cereals, jam <strong>and</strong><br />
syrup.<br />
Good breakfa<strong>st</strong>s include at<br />
lea<strong>st</strong> one serving of each of<br />
<strong>the</strong>.following: fresh fruit,<br />
whole grain cereal, or bread,<br />
meat or eggs <strong>and</strong> milk.<br />
<strong>and</strong> 21 proficiency badges.<br />

EASY IGNITING FABRICS<br />
The major cause of all types<br />
of fire <strong>and</strong> burn accidents in<br />
Canada is carelessness, reported<br />
<strong>the</strong> Canadian department<br />
of consumer affairs.<br />
Many of <strong>the</strong>se accidents<br />
involve children <strong>and</strong> easily<br />
igniting fabrics.<br />
When choosing clothing for<br />
<strong>the</strong> young or elderly, special<br />
attention should be paid to <strong>the</strong><br />
con<strong>st</strong>ruction <strong>and</strong> fibre content.<br />
Lighter-weight fabrics,<br />
those with a raised surface,<br />
such as flannelette, <strong>and</strong> open<br />
weave fabrics burn fa<strong>st</strong>er.<br />
Loose fitting garments with<br />
flaring skirts or sleeves,<br />
ruffles <strong>and</strong> trimmings ignite<br />
more easily <strong>and</strong> burn fa<strong>st</strong>er<br />
than close fitting plainly<br />
<strong>st</strong>yled garments.<br />
Different fabrics have different<br />
rates of igniting.<br />
Cotton, rayon, linen, acetate<br />
<strong>and</strong> triacetate will all<br />

Nylon, polye<strong>st</strong>er, acrylic,<br />

not ignite readily, but once<br />
ignited tend to drip.<br />
These hot drips tend to<br />
carry <strong>the</strong> flames away from<br />

flames self-extinguishes.<br />
Chri<strong>st</strong>mas tree safety h ints<br />
Here are safety hints for<br />
<strong>the</strong> Chri<strong>st</strong>mas holiday season:<br />
1. Buy a fresh tree with<br />
springy branches <strong>and</strong> tight<br />
green needles.<br />
2. Keep it indoors in water<br />
or snow until ready to set up.<br />
3. Saw off at lea<strong>st</strong> two<br />
inches of <strong>the</strong> trunk, diagonal-<br />
ly.'<br />
4. Use a water reservoir<br />
tree holder <strong>and</strong> keep it filled.<br />
5. Keep <strong>the</strong> tree away from<br />
drying <strong>and</strong> heat sources such<br />
as radiators, regi<strong>st</strong>ers <strong>and</strong><br />
fireplaces.<br />
6. Use only approved lights<br />
in good repair.<br />
There is more than one<br />
way to quit smokin ;<br />
Here are a few tips which<br />
may help you to quit smoking:<br />
Mo<strong>st</strong> people find it be<strong>st</strong> to<br />
quit suddenly but even to<br />
reduce smoking is of some<br />
value. O<strong>the</strong>rs find it effective<br />
to* set <strong>the</strong>mselves a Q-Day-<br />
Quitting Day - not more than<br />
two weeks ahead <strong>and</strong> ei<strong>the</strong>r<br />
quit on that day or taper off to<br />
zero.<br />
Whenever possible, you<br />
should avoid situations in<br />
which you have been accu<strong>st</strong>omed<br />
to smoke, such as<br />
drinking, playing cards,<br />
watching TV, even being in<br />
<strong>the</strong> company of o<strong>the</strong>r smokers.<br />
This should only be<br />
necessary during <strong>the</strong> withdrawal<br />
period which varies in<br />
length of time with each<br />
smoker.<br />
Find sub<strong>st</strong>itutes for smok-<br />

over Chri<strong>st</strong>mas.<br />
G.R. Baker Auxiliary members<br />
will give out gifts.<br />
They will also go through<br />
<strong>the</strong> hospital singing carols to<br />
patients.<br />
"The maintenance men<br />
made a sleigh to pull <strong>the</strong> gifts<br />
on", said Sheila Web<strong>st</strong>er,<br />
publicity chairman for <strong>the</strong><br />
auxiliary.<br />
ing. A man can overcome <strong>the</strong><br />
urge to smoke by keeping<br />
himself busy with such things<br />
as home repairs while a<br />
woman always has housework<br />
or hobbies. In o<strong>the</strong>r words,<br />
keep yourself occupied so that<br />
you don't keep thinking about<br />
smoking.<br />
Some find it useful to have<br />
lots of snacks h<strong>and</strong>y, such as<br />
olives, dried fruits, celery,<br />
mints, crackers <strong>and</strong> gum.<br />
During <strong>the</strong> withdrawal time,<br />
reach for a snack in<strong>st</strong>ead of a<br />
smoke.<br />

Worried about how to put<br />
on chains?<br />
A two-inch block of wood<br />
can make in<strong>st</strong>alling chains a<br />
lot easier, especially on s<br />
snowy mountain path.<br />
Lay out <strong>the</strong> chains on <strong>the</strong><br />
road <strong>and</strong> put <strong>the</strong> block<br />
between <strong>the</strong> cross links.<br />
Drive <strong>the</strong> rear wheel up on<br />
<strong>the</strong> block. The wheel is not on<br />
<strong>the</strong> chain <strong>and</strong> cannot bind it.<br />
There will be enough room<br />
in <strong>the</strong> wheel well to drape <strong>the</strong><br />
chain on <strong>the</strong> tire <strong>and</strong> hook <strong>the</strong><br />
catches easily.<br />
7. Use only fire-proof<br />
decorations if possible.<br />
8. Do not place electrical<br />
toys under tree, except wrapped<br />
or in boxes.<br />
9. Secure top of tree with<br />
wire or fine <strong>st</strong>ring if <strong>the</strong>re are<br />
very young children or pets in<br />
<strong>the</strong> home, to avoid tipping.<br />
10. Consider using an<br />
artifical flame proof tree.<br />
11. Remove <strong>the</strong> tree to <strong>the</strong><br />
outdoors as soon as possible.<br />
12. Never burn a Chri<strong>st</strong>mas<br />
tree in <strong>the</strong> fireplace.<br />
According to <strong>the</strong> National<br />
Fire Protection Association, a<br />
boric acid compound is of little<br />
value when used on a Chri<strong>st</strong>mas<br />
tree to make it flame<br />
retardant.<br />
The only sure method of<br />
flame retarding trees is to<br />
completely immerse <strong>the</strong>m in<br />
fire-retardant.<br />
Modacrylic <strong>and</strong> saran will<br />
not continue to burn once <strong>the</strong><br />
source of ignition is removed.<br />
WOOL<br />
Wool <strong>and</strong> silk do not easily<br />
ignite <strong>and</strong> burn very slowly<br />
once ignited.<br />
Glass <strong>and</strong> asbe<strong>st</strong>os do not<br />
burn.<br />
Children's sleepwear treated<br />
with f lame-retardent finish<br />
is available.<br />
The life of such finishes is<br />
limited, but can be extended<br />
by <strong>the</strong> proper use of laundering<br />
techniques.<br />
Washed with carbonate based<br />
detergents <strong>and</strong> a bleach<br />

IT WAS A BUSY BUYING SCENE AT FRIDAY'S EXTENDED CARE UNIT BAZAAR<br />
...bazaar allowed patients at <strong>the</strong> unit to engage in a bit of Chri<strong>st</strong>mas shopping.<br />
"Why did you bo<strong>the</strong>r to get married if you are not<br />
going to take your husb<strong>and</strong>'s name?"<br />
I can't begin to count <strong>the</strong> number of times I have been<br />
asked that que<strong>st</strong>ion.<br />
Why? Because I love my husb<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> am willing to<br />
commit myself to a long term relationship with him.<br />
Why not take my husb<strong>and</strong> s name? Because I am sure<br />
enough of myself as an individual.<br />
I am not so insecure that I have to hide behind my<br />
husb<strong>and</strong>'s name <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> title "Mrs." to prove my worth to<br />
myself or to anyone else.<br />
Women are raised to consider marriage as <strong>the</strong>ir main<br />
goal in life.<br />
Without marriage all accomplishments, as a doctor,<br />
lawyer, writer, painter, skater or swimmer, are<br />
considered second be<strong>st</strong>-compensations for not being<br />
married.<br />
With marriage, all o<strong>the</strong>r accomplishments are deemed<br />
unnecessary.<br />
TOLERATED<br />
Working women are'tolerated as long as <strong>the</strong>ir job<br />
does not interfere with <strong>the</strong>ir primal role of a wife.<br />
Men are raised to consider marriage secondary, a<br />
career is <strong>the</strong>ir mo<strong>st</strong> important goal.<br />
If a young boy answered <strong>the</strong> que<strong>st</strong>ion "what do you<br />
want to be when you grow up?" by saying "I ju<strong>st</strong> want to<br />
be married <strong>and</strong> <strong>st</strong>ay at home" mo<strong>st</strong> people would consider<br />
something was seriously wrong with him.<br />
If a girl answered <strong>the</strong> que<strong>st</strong>ion in <strong>the</strong> same manner s he<br />
would in mo<strong>st</strong> cases win smiles of approval from her<br />
elders for conforming to <strong>the</strong> expected role.<br />
In<strong>st</strong>ant recognition that a woman has reached her goal<br />
is through <strong>the</strong> title Mrs. so-<strong>and</strong>-so.<br />
Once she has achieved that title, no input by her into<br />
society is necessary, except in her role of wife <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
subsequent role of mo<strong>the</strong>r.<br />
When a married woman rejects <strong>the</strong> title Mrs. <strong>and</strong><br />
retains her own name, she is seen as rejecting her primal<br />
goal by saying "I am sure enough of myself that I am<br />
willing to compete in <strong>the</strong> workworld, not as a <strong>st</strong>opgap<br />
until marriage, but as a lifelong career."<br />
That some women are willing to take on <strong>the</strong> dual role of<br />
wife <strong>and</strong> mo<strong>the</strong>r in <strong>the</strong> same manner as a man takes on<br />
<strong>the</strong> roles of husb<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> fa<strong>the</strong>r, threatens <strong>the</strong> idea<br />
women need only be concerned with marriage.<br />
DUAL ROLES<br />
The number of women who are willing to take on <strong>the</strong><br />
dual roles is small <strong>and</strong> likely to remain so for some time.<br />
Until society changes its values <strong>and</strong> a woman, no<br />
matter what accomplishments she has made in business,<br />
arts or sports, is considered unfulfilled unless she is<br />
married, mo<strong>st</strong> women will continue taking <strong>the</strong>ir husb<strong>and</strong>s<br />
name <strong>and</strong> using <strong>the</strong> title "Mrs."<br />

panel, long train, full-length,<br />

Fuel saving <strong>and</strong> safety<br />
can go h<strong>and</strong> in h<strong>and</strong><br />
Two major points mentioned<br />
in connection with <strong>the</strong> fuel<br />
crunch can also be factors in<br />
safe winter motoring.<br />
Driving more slowly to<br />
conserve gas also is a wise<br />
precaution when travelling on<br />
icy roads or during snowfalls.<br />
Keeping gas tanks as full as<br />
possible during <strong>the</strong> winter<br />
months will not only insure<br />
again<strong>st</strong> <strong>the</strong> threat of running'<br />
low on fuel, but will help<br />
prevent moi<strong>st</strong>ure, which<br />
would eventually form Ice,<br />
from condensing in <strong>the</strong> gas<br />
line.<br />
O<strong>the</strong>r safe winter driving<br />
tips offered are:<br />
- Do not lower <strong>the</strong> pressure .<br />
Lea<strong>the</strong>r footwear<br />
good for holiday<br />
For <strong>the</strong> holiday season<br />
consider all-lea<strong>the</strong>r shoes ~ it<br />
cushions, will not chafe <strong>and</strong>,<br />
generally speaking, helps <strong>the</strong><br />
foot <strong>st</strong><strong>and</strong> up to <strong>the</strong> <strong>st</strong>ain of<br />
long hours..<br />
For women, heels are high<br />
again, fortunately though, <strong>the</strong>re<br />
has been no return to <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>st</strong>iletto heels of <strong>the</strong> 1950's.<br />
Although high, <strong>the</strong> pratical<br />
surface of today's heel affords<br />
adequate support for <strong>the</strong><br />
ankle <strong>and</strong> creates no problem<br />
of balance.<br />
Men's formal footwear seems<br />
to have ab<strong>and</strong>oned <strong>the</strong> tie<br />
shoe in favour of <strong>the</strong> slip-on,<br />
<strong>the</strong> front upper out in a single<br />
piece somewhat high on <strong>the</strong><br />
in<strong>st</strong>ep with simple metal<br />
adornments or braided lea<strong>the</strong>r<br />
<strong>st</strong>rapping.<br />
Patent <strong>and</strong> combinations of<br />
patent <strong>and</strong> suede are popular<br />
as well as <strong>the</strong> classic polished<br />
calf.<br />
Lea<strong>the</strong>r can practically care<br />
for itself. Chemically treated<br />
finishes infused into <strong>the</strong> skins<br />
make <strong>the</strong> surface washable.<br />
Spots, <strong>st</strong>ains <strong>and</strong> surface<br />
soil can be washed off with a<br />
simple home-cleaning method<br />
such as wiping with a damp<br />
cloth wrung out in mild soap<br />
<strong>and</strong> water solution <strong>and</strong> drying<br />
with a soft cloth.<br />
Suedes need to be brushed<br />
regularly with a soft rubber<br />
sponge or bri<strong>st</strong>le brush -never<br />
with a wire brush.<br />
Winter Frolics committee<br />
holds planning meeting<br />
The <strong>Quesnel</strong> winter frolics<br />
committee held its third meeting,<br />
Nov. 5.<br />
A letter was received from<br />
Duncan Myers of <strong>the</strong> Cariboo<br />
Touri<strong>st</strong> Association <strong>st</strong>ating<br />
more information about Winter<br />
Frolics could be included<br />
in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Quesnel</strong> <strong>and</strong> Di<strong>st</strong>rict<br />
touri<strong>st</strong> brochure.<br />
Reports were received from<br />
various committees about<br />
specified projects planned by<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir organizations.<br />
Activities planned include a<br />
skydiving show, Miss <strong>Quesnel</strong><br />
pageant <strong>and</strong> ball, native dancers<br />
<strong>and</strong> a car rally.<br />
in snow tires. This reduces<br />
control <strong>and</strong> does not increase<br />
traction.<br />
- To get out of deep snow,<br />
<strong>st</strong>art with an easy foot on <strong>the</strong><br />
accelerator <strong>and</strong> slip <strong>the</strong> clutch<br />
into second gear. For automatic<br />
transmissions, use <strong>the</strong><br />
normal drive range. Do not<br />
. spin <strong>the</strong> wheels: Traction is<br />
greate<strong>st</strong> ju<strong>st</strong> before <strong>the</strong><br />
wheels spin. If <strong>the</strong>y should<br />
spin, try rocking <strong>the</strong> car<br />
forward <strong>and</strong> backward. Use<br />
s<strong>and</strong> or traction mats if you<br />
dig wheels into a pocket.<br />
Keep front wheels pointed<br />
<strong>st</strong>raight ahead whenever<br />
possible.<br />
- Once under way, keep <strong>the</strong><br />
car moving. When approaching<br />
a hill, <strong>st</strong>ay far enough<br />
behind <strong>the</strong> vehicle ahead so<br />
you won't have to slow down<br />
or <strong>st</strong>op. On upgrades, use a<br />
little extra speed at <strong>the</strong><br />
bottom of <strong>the</strong> hill for extra<br />
momentum. If <strong>the</strong> wheels<br />
spin, release accelerator slowly.<br />
When at <strong>the</strong> cre<strong>st</strong> of a hill,<br />
reduce speed to a minimum<br />
before <strong>st</strong>arting down.<br />
- Slow down on icy surfaces<br />
before reaching curves to<br />
assure safe <strong>st</strong>eering. When<br />
entering a curve, turn <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>st</strong>eering wheel gradually <strong>and</strong><br />
no fur<strong>the</strong>r than necessary.<br />
- Be especially alert when<br />
<strong>the</strong> temperature rises to 32<br />
degrees. A treacherous, invisible<br />
slick sheet of ice may<br />
form, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>st</strong>opping di<strong>st</strong>ance<br />
on ice at this temperature<br />
is twice as great as at<br />
zero. Also, don't ignore <strong>the</strong><br />
danger of ice if <strong>st</strong>reets are<br />
clear. Look ahead for icy<br />
patches in shaded areas such<br />
as beneath overpasses or on<br />
bridges.<br />
In short, "winterize" your<br />
driving as well as your car.<br />

Bouchie<br />

On November 28, Russ<br />
Jones chaired a meeting for<br />
Bouchie Lake residents <strong>and</strong><br />
o<strong>the</strong>r fringe areas to discuss<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>Quesnel</strong> area <strong>st</strong>udy.<br />
Although various ways can<br />
be used to do this, such as<br />
annexing or boundary extension<br />
amalgamation, everyone<br />
agreed that Bouchie Lake<br />
would prefer to be left as it is.<br />
No benefits would be forthcoming<br />
by any such move,<br />
in<strong>st</strong>ead, taxes would invariably<br />
go up.<br />
Special mention was made<br />
of <strong>the</strong> fact that if <strong>the</strong>se areas<br />
are taken into <strong>the</strong> city,<br />
townspeople can expect a<br />
sub<strong>st</strong>antial raise in taxes.<br />
There is no one specific area<br />
that has a tax base <strong>and</strong> would<br />
support any major services.<br />
Everyone would have to<br />
contribute towards this expense.<br />
It is hoped, that at <strong>the</strong><br />
next meeting <strong>the</strong> engineers<br />
who drew up <strong>the</strong> proposed<br />
map can exclude Bouchie<br />
Lake from this plan.<br />

A House warming was held<br />
at <strong>the</strong> home of Ken <strong>and</strong> Molly.<br />
Steele, with about 30 people<br />
attending.<br />
Everyone had a good visit<br />
<strong>and</strong> dance with <strong>the</strong>ir friends<br />
<strong>and</strong> neighbors.<br />
A delicious buffet supper<br />
was served, <strong>and</strong> everyone<br />
enjoyed it immensely.<br />
The Steeles were presented<br />
with a beautiful pole lamp.<br />
People in <strong>the</strong> area will be<br />
pleased to hear that Steve<br />
Cochran has taken <strong>the</strong> big<br />
<strong>st</strong>ep, right, he's gone <strong>and</strong><br />
gotten married.<br />
Sorry to hear Mabel Magnuson<br />
was ill in <strong>the</strong> hospital,<br />
glad you are feeling better<br />
now.<br />
Some of <strong>the</strong> fellas in our<br />
area are now working at<br />
Prince George l but guess <strong>the</strong>y<br />
can be thankful <strong>the</strong>y <strong>st</strong>ill have<br />
jobs, what with so many out of<br />
work.<br />
Our roads out here are sure<br />
a sheet of ice, <strong>the</strong>y put some<br />
s<strong>and</strong> on it, but we could use<br />
some more s<strong>and</strong> on it <strong>st</strong>ill.<br />
The kids that go to <strong>the</strong> 4-H<br />
club learned how to make calf<br />
rope halters this month.<br />
Now <strong>the</strong>y can put <strong>the</strong>m on<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir calves <strong>and</strong> get <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
calves working <strong>and</strong> used to<br />

The Junior Fore<strong>st</strong> Wardens<br />
<strong>and</strong> Guards are busy on <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
winter project, <strong>the</strong>y are building<br />
end tables, <strong>and</strong> shelf<br />
towel racks, one of <strong>the</strong> many<br />
projects <strong>the</strong>y do as a club.<br />
I sure would appreciate<br />
some news, for lack of it, we<br />
only have a column twice a<br />

Boys from our area playing<br />
hockey in town this year are<br />
Eric Demers, Carl Demers,<br />

Two girls from our area<br />
were in <strong>the</strong> ice carnival this<br />
year. They were Debbie Brinkert<br />
<strong>and</strong> Barb Schofield.<br />
The kids in our area very<br />
much appreciate having <strong>the</strong><br />
use of <strong>the</strong> ice rink at <strong>the</strong><br />

Hope everyone does <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

LOCAL C.W.L FOSTER CHILD<br />
Sonia is no ordinary girl.<br />
At seven years of age, she<br />
is an exceptionally good <strong>st</strong>u.dent.<br />
La<strong>st</strong> spring she placed fir<strong>st</strong><br />
in her <strong>st</strong><strong>and</strong>ard III exams <strong>and</strong><br />
before that, she <strong>st</strong>ood fir<strong>st</strong> in<br />
<strong>st</strong><strong>and</strong>ard II.<br />
She lives,on merely $84 a<br />
year, seven dollars a month.<br />
Although Sonia never knew<br />
her natural parents, she<br />
seems to be well taken care of<br />
by Mo<strong>the</strong>r Teresa.<br />
Mo<strong>the</strong>r Teresa is an Italian<br />
nun who runs St. Vincent's<br />
Home for foundling <strong>and</strong> orphans<br />
in Agra, India.<br />
But Sonia has somebody<br />
else who takes care that she is<br />
fed, clo<strong>the</strong>d <strong>and</strong> educated<br />
properly.<br />
Ever since she was a baby,<br />
she has been supported by a<br />
group of women, two oceans<br />
<strong>and</strong> thous<strong>and</strong>s of miles away.<br />
Sonia is <strong>the</strong> fo<strong>st</strong>er daughter<br />
of St. Anne's Catholic Wo<br />
men's League in <strong>Quesnel</strong>, who<br />
send $15 a month to Mo<strong>the</strong>r<br />
Teresa's orphanage.<br />
The home in Agra is mainly<br />
supported by Canadians <strong>and</strong><br />
receives only $125 per year<br />
from <strong>the</strong> Indian government.<br />
Because of <strong>the</strong> insecurity of<br />
money orders sent by mail,<br />
funds are sent through a<br />
special arrangement with<br />
Monsignor Miles in Kamloops.<br />

As every year at this time,<br />
<strong>the</strong> Women's Missionary Society<br />
of <strong>the</strong> church is preparing<br />
food hampers to be di<strong>st</strong>ributed<br />
to needy families.<br />
Reverend C.R. Moorehouse<br />
was gue<strong>st</strong> speaker at <strong>the</strong> Free<br />
Evangelical Church annual<br />
banquet in Prince George.<br />
Before a full house he spoke<br />
on "being ready to explain to<br />
people about <strong>the</strong> principles of<br />
<strong>the</strong> Chri<strong>st</strong>ian faith."<br />
ved a letter from her daughter<br />
who, though living with<br />
her husb<strong>and</strong> in Au<strong>st</strong>ralia,<br />
went on a trip to India.<br />
She spent some time' in<br />
Agra <strong>and</strong> visited St. Vincent's<br />
Home to see her mo<strong>the</strong>r's<br />
fo<strong>st</strong>er child Antonia <strong>and</strong> to see<br />
Mo<strong>the</strong>r Teresa.<br />
Here is that letter:<br />
Dear Mummy;<br />
. Ju<strong>st</strong> had to write you<br />
right away, at present we are<br />
sitting in gas <strong>st</strong>ation waiting<br />
for <strong>the</strong> car to get its oil<br />
changed.<br />
We spent all afternoon with<br />
Mo<strong>the</strong>r Teresa at St. Vincent's<br />
Home <strong>and</strong> saw lots of<br />
Antonia <strong>and</strong> all <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
children. Haven't seen anything<br />
else yet, not even <strong>the</strong><br />
Taj Mahal, but we'll do that<br />
tonight by moonlight <strong>and</strong><br />
tomorrow at sunrise.<br />
Mo<strong>the</strong>r Theresa is a fanta<strong>st</strong>ic<br />
little round Italian woman,<br />
full of boundless energy <strong>and</strong><br />
love for her children. I've<br />
never heard of her, but that<br />
probably means <strong>the</strong>re is a<br />
large hole in my education.I'm<br />
sure she mu<strong>st</strong> be quite<br />
famous.<br />
St. Vincent's mu<strong>st</strong> be <strong>the</strong><br />
cleane<strong>st</strong>, nice<strong>st</strong> place, anywhere<br />
in India. You could eat<br />
off <strong>the</strong> floors. It's all cheerfully<br />
painted <strong>and</strong> modern <strong>and</strong> a real<br />
oasis in <strong>the</strong> middle of a very<br />
large ugly desert.<br />
Mo<strong>the</strong>r Theresa's orphans<br />
mu<strong>st</strong> be better off than 99 per<br />
cent of Indian children with<br />
parents. I don't know how she<br />
manages because she gets<br />
only $125 a year total from <strong>the</strong><br />
Indian Government. The re<strong>st</strong><br />
of her money comes from<br />
Canadians.<br />
You can be sure your<br />
money is very well spent, I<br />
can't think of a better cause.<br />
Some of <strong>the</strong> children are<br />
unwanted offspring of rape<br />
victims of <strong>the</strong> 1971 war with<br />
Paki<strong>st</strong>an (Bengladesh).<br />
Such sad little waifs, Bill<br />
<strong>and</strong> I hope to "adopt" one or<br />
two when we get back home. I<br />
think <strong>the</strong>re are about 85 kids<br />
<strong>the</strong>re <strong>and</strong> about 65 have<br />
"parents" like you.<br />
Mo<strong>the</strong>r Theresa is very<br />
Italian <strong>and</strong> has lived here for<br />
24 years. She speaks fluent<br />
Hindi (Indian language) <strong>and</strong><br />
somewhat broken English, so<br />
Series que<strong>st</strong>ions<br />
purpose of fife<br />
Today many things con<strong>st</strong>antly<br />
remind us of <strong>the</strong> uncertainty<br />
of life - for ourselves,<br />
our mates <strong>and</strong> our children.<br />
Accidents, crimes, riots,<br />
wars <strong>and</strong> famines cut down<br />
millions right in <strong>the</strong> prime of<br />
life.<br />
Disease takes anappalliing<br />
toll despite medical advances.<br />
Pollution poses a mo<strong>st</strong> serious<br />
threat.<br />
It is not <strong>st</strong>range <strong>the</strong>n, that<br />
many persons today ask: is<br />
this life all <strong>the</strong>re is?<br />
The answer to this que<strong>st</strong>ion<br />
will be dealt with in a series of<br />
four discourses, sponsored by<br />
<strong>the</strong> local congregation of<br />
Jehovah's Witnesses.<br />
The fir<strong>st</strong> talk in <strong>the</strong> series<br />
was held Dec. 8 <strong>and</strong> Mr. M.<br />
Maier, an elder in <strong>the</strong> south<br />
unit, dealt with <strong>the</strong> subject:<br />
"Mankind - created to live, not<br />
to die".<br />
It was explained, for example,<br />
how old age <strong>and</strong> death<br />
came about, <strong>and</strong> how unnatural<br />
death really is. Yes, it<br />
was God's purpose for mankind<br />
to live, not to die.<br />

with tea <strong>and</strong> cashew nuts <strong>and</strong><br />
gave us presents of photographs<br />
<strong>and</strong> a bag for me.<br />
Beneath her soft, capable<br />
exterior we suspect lies a<br />
mind of <strong>st</strong>eel <strong>and</strong> ice. She is<br />
probably quite adept at getting<br />
what she wants out of<br />
people in her own way <strong>and</strong> she<br />
probably is a very shrewd<br />
businesswoman.<br />
She sees us as a window on<br />
<strong>the</strong> world <strong>and</strong> at present is<br />
very concerned with getting<br />
one of her girls to Canada or<br />
<strong>the</strong> U.S. She has an M.A.<br />
<strong>and</strong> is evidently quite bright.<br />
I think Mo<strong>the</strong>r Theresa<br />
intedns us to help her, although<br />
she has said nothing<br />
directly. Anyway we go back<br />
tomorrow to meet <strong>the</strong> girl -<br />
Carmella. (Many of <strong>the</strong> kids<br />
have Italian names.)<br />
Antonia is a cute little girl -<br />
so clean <strong>and</strong> well dressed, as<br />
are <strong>the</strong>y all. It's a bit hard to<br />
say much about her as she's<br />
very shy <strong>and</strong> speaks little<br />
English, although evidently<br />
under<strong>st</strong><strong>and</strong>s it fairly well.<br />
It's too early to say whe<strong>the</strong>r<br />
she's bright enough for university,<br />
but if she has <strong>the</strong><br />
brains she'll get <strong>the</strong> training<br />
she wants, nursing or whatever.<br />
If <strong>the</strong>y're not very<br />
bright, Mo<strong>the</strong>r Theresa arranges<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir marriages, even!<br />
We gave <strong>the</strong>m a whole lot of<br />
toothpa<strong>st</strong>e <strong>and</strong> soap <strong>and</strong> T.P.,<br />
we brought far too much from<br />
Au<strong>st</strong>ralia for our own use,<br />
possibly due to divine influence?<br />
The only o<strong>the</strong>r thing we<br />
could think of to give was a<br />
can of smoked oy<strong>st</strong>ers that<br />
Florence sent us for Chri<strong>st</strong>mas.<br />
All contributions were<br />
gratefully received.<br />
Mo<strong>the</strong>r Theresa said that<br />
her Canadian contact is a<br />
prie<strong>st</strong>, Monsignor Somebody<br />
(I couldn't under<strong>st</strong><strong>and</strong> her<br />
very well). She says that she<br />
gets all <strong>the</strong> dollars all right<br />
(guess <strong>the</strong>re are ways of<br />
getting around <strong>the</strong> corrupt<br />
po<strong>st</strong> office.)<br />
Anyway cajole all your<br />
friends to contribute lots <strong>and</strong><br />
lots of money, it will be put to<br />
very'good use.<br />
We head for Delhi tomorrow<br />
afternoon <strong>and</strong> expect to<br />
leave India on <strong>the</strong> 19th (<strong>the</strong><br />
QUESNEL CARIBOO OBSERVER WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1974-17<br />
India-Paki<strong>st</strong>an border is only<br />
open for traffic two days a<br />
week).<br />
Our long dreary time in<br />
India has certainly been brightened<br />
by <strong>the</strong> orphanage,<br />
which is sort of a paradox!<br />
By <strong>the</strong> way, a bomb came<br />
through <strong>the</strong> roof in <strong>the</strong> war of<br />
1971, but no one was hurt.<br />
Mo<strong>the</strong>r Theresa showed it to<br />
us proudly.<br />
Agra was quite heavily<br />
bombed <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Taj Mahal<br />
was shrouded in black <strong>and</strong><br />
wasn't hit, luckily. We had no<br />
idea.<br />
Time to go. Hope you get<br />
this alright. I mailed ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />
one ye<strong>st</strong>erday in Lucknow.<br />
We are both well, but hot <strong>and</strong><br />
tired. Bill sends love.<br />
Take care,<br />
