Researching Vitamin E
Save Premature Babies

> Vitamin E shots may be
able to protect babies from a
dahyerous complication of res-
pitatory distress syndrome, the
biggest killer of premature
infants, a Yale Medical Schuol
stddy says,

2 The lungs of premature
babies often are not futly de-
veloped and the infants must be
kept alive on respirators.

But the rich oxygen pump:
ed into their bodies can damage
the lining of their lungs, This
complication, called broneho-
pulmonary dysplasia, itself can
be fatal.

The Yale researeh, pub-
lished in the New England
Journal of Medicine, found that
injections of vitamin E can trap
a damaging form of oxygen
before it harms the lungs.

the furnace to draw air back
through the vent, spilling pro-
ducts of combustion — possibly
including dangerous carbon
monoxide — into the home,
thus threatening the lives of
the occupants.

Most modern homes are
well insulated, caulked and
weather stripped.

The large amount of air a
fireplace draws when in use can
prevent the furnace from re-
ceiving the volume of air it
needs for proper combuston
and venting, even though the
furnace may be located in
another part of the home.

The long-term solution is
to provide a separate fresh air
supply for the fireplace. In the
meantime, danger can he avoid-
ed by opening a window two or
three inches while the fireplace
is in operation. It is also
important to ensure that the
existing fresh air supply to the
furnace is not obstructed

Dampers should be ciosed

This will prevent furnace heat
from escaping up the chimney.

less and tasteless and may give

MEDIATION

He said he was “optt
mistic” that a contract set-
tlement could be reached
through mediation although
he considered the dispute
“very difficult." Mediating
the dispute at Selkirk Col-
lege, which will involve the
absorption of three separate
collective agreements into a
single agreement, “is going
to be fairly time-consuming,”
he said.

But both parties have
been exchanging their posi-

the agreements at the col-
lege, he said.

by the cily in August, E. S,
Collins said the Balfour borrow

Collins said in the letter

According lothe engineer's

Rainbow trout and tasty Dolly
Varden,

Here's the action at one of
the busiest lakeside resorts,
Jones Boys Marina, located on
the North Arm, 22 miles north
of the Balfour ferry landing.
There's been lots of fishing
excitement. this fall and early
winter as anglers vie for mem-
bership ia one of the most

and fisheries officials alike.
Many fishermen have enjoyed

And the total todale.. 72

Nov. 1 marked the begin-
ning of the heaviest successes
this fall. The mighty trophy
Rainbow have been co-oper-
ating nicely, wilh a tolal of 22
whoppers entered in just five
weeks.

All it’ takes from the
fishing end is a boat, some
warm clothes (snowmobile suits
seem popular), a thermos of
coffee, or something a little
‘stronger, patience, and a silver
plug. That's what has been

Lyon of Bozéman brought in
two big ones in the space of
eight days, On Nov, 11, Janine
could barely hold her trophy up
for the camera, It takes a
strong arm to hold 20 pounds of
fish off the ground, or Lo play it
in the water, But on Nov. 19,
Janine had another big one on
the line and that fish weighed:
in al 24'4 pounds,

No nonsense fisherman Lee
Brookshire, also of Bozeman,
has pulled in two "20 Pounder
Club” entries in the past few
weeks, Montana resident, Jim
Hays, is looking for his sixth
entry, and Art Henniger of
High River is going for number
five. Dorothy Hooper of Big
Timber, Mont., still leads the
show however, with her 31%
pounder caught last spring.

Locally, Pat Rempel of
Kaslo was delighted, to land his
first trophy fish this year in a
battle with a 23'’%-pounder on
Dec. 12, Another Kaslo resi-
dent, Dave Ekdakl. pulled in a
22"2-pounder Des, 14.

Bob Mitchell of Trail won
the right to wear a “20 Pounder
Club”
Rainbow entry of the year. This
one was a 20-pound 2-02. buck

pin with his second -

with plenty of fight, but Bob
pulled him aboard on Dee. 16,

For those who might sus-
peel Chat If you haven't made
the "20 Pounder Club," you
haven't really caught a fish,
well, the evidence will put you
right, The average Rainhow
caught over the Thanksgiving
weekend was 15 pounds! The
overall average from Nov. 11 to
Dee. 18 has been in the neigh-
Forhond of 14.5 pounds! And

s usually a Rood couple
rn trout brought in every
weekend.

Listen Lo the story of Eddy
Maughn from Hermiston, Ore.
Eddie caught himself a nice
19'4-pound Rainbow on Nov, 11
and it brought back memories
of fishing Koolenay Lake since
the 50s. He won a Kootenay
Lake fishing derhy back then
and he hasn't forgotten .the
28-pounder he landed in ‘71,
Eddie feels confident ‘there's
plenty of trout out there, both
hig and small just waiting for
his lure.

Now don’t yo gettin’ the
impression that there isn’t
anything in that lake but Rain-
