There are 404 reported cases of AIDS in Canada and Holly Smith, spokesman for the San Francisco AIDS Project, said AIDS has become an industry. “There are those who.do a good service keeping those people who need information informed,” she said. “But there are‘definitely others out there who are taking advantage of the situation and there is very little that we BOOKS APPEAR ‘The most common AIDS business is the legitimate feeding of the public’s appetite for the most up-to-date Family and Why You Must. Between are out of date. “Our scope of knowledge is changing so rapidly that any book written a year ago is now seriously out of date, and anything written six months ago, no matter how knowledgable and factual it is, is soon going to be out of date,” said Mathias. ‘AIDS entrepreneurs have been setting up private information networks that scan medical journals and research reports for the most recent AIDS findings and publish weekly newsletters for a subscription fee. One such private bulletin is the CDC AIDS Weekly, a publication established in Atlanta in October. For the cost of $520 U.S. a year, the publication says it distributes to its subscribers “the most up-to-date” information on AIDS from sources around the world. “At first we were really suspicious,” San Francisco _ AIDS worker Smith said of the CDC AIDS weekly. “But it is a good little publication.

With almost 20,000 people worldwide infectéd and no cure in sight, the plan focuses on improving information for health workers and education among high-risk groups such as homosexuals and intra- venous drug abusers, they said. Acquired immune deficien- cy syndrome, which destroys the body’s natural defences’ against even minor illnesses, has been detected in blood, sperm, saliva and, most re- cently, tears. Under .the new plan, ex- pected to be approved by WHO's executive board in January, the health body will also act as a clearing-house for data on AIDS cases, lat- est research on vaccines and national programs, the of- ficials said. The Soviet Union and Hungary sent virologists to a three-day WHO meeting in Geneva this. week, the first East bloc countries to do so. WHO figures indicate Yug- oslavia‘ and China are the only Communist states to re- port AIDS cases officially — one each. But Soviet media did ac- knowledge earlier this month that a handful of AIDS cases had been detected in the Soviet Union. More than 400 AIDS cases have been recorded in Can- ada, with half the victims dying.

The meeting in Cranbrook will primarily discuss the Akamina-Kishinena, Kokan- ee Glacier and Purcell wilder- ness areas, a news release for Jan. 22 at the Inn of the South. Anyone wishing to make a presentation at the public hearing should apply to the committee by Jan. 9, provide a brief summary of their oral submission and indicate how much time they will require for their presentation. The wilderness advisory committee was appointed by Environment Minister Aus- counts for most of the world- wide AIDS total. A draft outline of the new WHO stragegy, made avail- able to Reuters news agency during the meeting, cites re- cent indications that AIDS “may be. a serious public ealth problem in tropical Africa.” “Estimated incidence rates in some central African cities are comparable to those in New York or San Francisco, and cases ‘have been iden- tified in residents or migrant from over a dozen African countries,” the paper says.

Vancouver moved into a tie with Winnipeg Jets for third place in the Smythe Division.

Seto The host team’s only loss in three games was to the Blue and Gold champions — J.L. Crowe Hawks. The Hawks posted a perfect 3-0 record. Three members of the Rockers were recognized for their individual performances during the tournament awards presentations. Kerry Uchida and Duane Donald received honorable mentions, while Greg Larson capped a successful weekend by being selected to the all-star team. Joining Larson were Scott Bell and Dave Campana from Summerland, Terry Altrogge from J.L. Crowe, and Steve Ingram from Ernest Manning High School (Calgary). The Most-Qutstanding Player honors were awarded to Dale Dergousoff of J.L. Crowe. In their first game of the Blue and Gold, Stanley Humphries had little trouble in dispatching the Summer- land Rockets 89-58. The Rockers took advantage of their size and shot 50 per cent from the field to record the win. Rob, Trickey led the scoring with 20 points, followed by Duane Donald with 14 and Scott Bole with 13. Gord Babaeff was top rebounder, pulling down 10 and Kerry Uchida set up several baskets with well-placed passes. On Saturday morning the Rockers ran into 6°7” Dale Dergousoff and his J.L. Crowe teammates. Dergousoff was unstoppable, scoring 12 of his eventual 32 points-in- the first quarter. i Down 13-4 at the quarter the Rockers were never able to cut the margin to less than eight points and lost . 69-50 to the Trail squad. Stanley Humphries finished the Blue and Gold on a winning note, squeaking past the Ernest Manning Griffins 84-82. The game was easily the most entertaining of the boys’ side of the tournament, according to Rockers coach Kevin Morris. Though the Rockers led throughout, the lead was never greater than seven points. The Griffins fought back repeatedly, tying the game 80-80 with a minute to play. ‘The outcome of the fast-paced game was eventually decided by Rob Trickey hitting on two crucial free throws. The Rockers enjoyed balanced scoring against the Griffins with five players in double figures. Larson hooped 18, Trickey 12, Erie Dillon 11 and Donald and Babaeff 10 each. All 11 players contributed to the team effort through lots of hustle and-sharing the scoring opportunities. _ Following a brief Christmas break the Rockers are back in action on Saturday, Dec. 28.
