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 />

of <strong>the</strong>m going through", said<br />

Name of <strong>the</strong> new admini<strong>st</strong>rator<br />

should be known by <strong>the</strong><br />

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

will look for o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>st</strong>aff," he<br />

said.<br />

There are a few applications<br />

in for o<strong>the</strong>r positions, he<br />

added.<br />

The society is con<strong>st</strong>ructing<br />

an intermediate care home for<br />

<strong>the</strong> elderly on Murphy Street.<br />

It is expected to be finished<br />

by January, but will not be<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 />

<strong>the</strong> increase would have<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 />

whole grain cereal, or bread,<br />

meat or eggs <strong>and</strong> milk.<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 />

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 />

<strong>the</strong> burning fabric so <strong>the</strong><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 />

They will also go through<br />

"The maintenance men<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 />

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 />

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 />

entered <strong>the</strong> church.<br />

Carol chose a full-length<br />

gown of crepe over net <strong>and</strong><br />

satin, featuring a front lace<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 />

By Phyllis St<strong>and</strong>bridge<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 />

<strong>the</strong>m.<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 />

month.<br />

Boys from our area playing<br />

hockey in town this year are<br />

Eric Demers, Carl Demers,<br />

Hans Brinkert, Richard Schofield,<br />

Steve St<strong>and</strong>bridge.<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 />

Schofields.<br />

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

share of shoveling it off when<br />

it snows.<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 />

famously <strong>and</strong> she plied us<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 />
