“Ch. R.S. Celebrates Milestone in ifs History

This year is the 25th anniversary of The
Canadian Arthritis and Rheumatism Society,
known in nearly every B.C. community simply
as C.A.R.S, This organization is where the real
fight against arthritis in Canada all began
through the work of Mary Pack, an energetic
British Columbia woman who was so concerned
about the lack of knowledge and facilities for
treating patients with arthritis, that she set
about to do something about it.

attention on a disease which has disabled man
since the beginning of time,

Asa result of Mary Pack's work, in which
she involved many, many thousands of British
Columbians, C.A.R.S, today has far-reaching
programs, fanning out from the Arthritis Centre
in Vancouver, the only one of its kind in North
America, to all corners of the province. In fact,
thanks in part to a grant from the local United
Appeal, a trained physiotherapist in a

These efforts resulted in the ofa
Canada-wide organization, with the B.C.
Division being the first one formed, to focus

Most children from about grade 5 up, and

“e” is the most commonly used letter in the

Can you imagine a composition room in a

removed from all fonts? What a communications,

In 1939 Ernest Vincent Wright's novel
“Gadsby” was published. Full length of 50,000

These services throughout B,C. come
through physiotherapists working from 57 B.C.
hospitals; through travelling medical con-

and through occupational therapy vans,

Twenty-five years ago these services were
non-existent, During these years 60,000 patients

Brifish Holiday Complete with a Bob, a Barmai

Last week I was talking of
the fun of meeting peo; ple
when you are travelling.

They" re probably more *

interesting than some of the
types with whom you
become bosom buddies on
short acquaintance. But the
people you meet on holiday
are a refreshing affirmation
that the earth contains an
infinite variety of creatures
of the human Speci ies.

This week I'dlike tofinish
these thoughts by introduc-
ing you to three greatly dif-
ferent people we met in Eng-
Jand: a Bob, a Barmaid, and
a Brigadier.

near the Scottish border, an

is bloody in the sense of
bloody awful. But it did
change hands several times
in the bloody border wars.
And it was there that William
Wallace, the great Scots
rebel, was put on public view
in a cage, before he was
hanged, drawn and quar-
tered, and his parts affixed
on various pikepoles about
the city, as a lesson to the
Scots “rebels”, in the four-
teenth century.

Anyway, Rob Mitchell

We nattered about taxes,
housing costs, comparative
incomes.

As we rattled through the
Lakes District, he went to
pains to point out things and
sights of interest. He sug-
gested a good restaurant in

never did catch up with an
animal but I did find solitude.
And a good chance to talk to
myself,

T needed it, too, because
Saturday night I found myself
at Kennedy International Air-
port in New York, The traffic
north through the big city was
well nigh unbelievable. The
change in surroundings was
extreme. It was a kind of North
American cultural shock.

But an experience like this
makes one appreciate solitude.
And maybe even appreciate
crowds. Soljtude,is something

’ one seeks, loneliness is some-

thing oné avoids.”
“However, there are times
when solitude is necessary. The
noisy interruptions of life are
shunted aside and a man is
alone with nature—and with
God. Christ Himself found it
necessary to fortify his earthly
ministry with solitude.

Solitude here and now can
bring a man to God. And that is
good and necessary. Because
there is another day coming
when every man will stand
alone before God. The. great
judgment day.

The best preparation for
that lonely appointment with
fate and destiny is thoughtful,
repentant and believing soli-
tude now.

Ontario Couple Speak Out
On Slaying of Daughter

An Ontario couple on a
speaking tour to convince
Canadians that their daughter
and another girl were deliber-
ately slain by Zambian troops
last May 16 at the Victoria Falls
In Rhodesia, stopped for a brief
moment in Castlegar Thursday
on their way to thelr last
British Columbia speaking en-
gagement in Creston Friday.

Mr. and Mrs, Oscar L,
Drijber were accompanied by
Canadian League of Rights B.C,
field director Phillip Butler.

The couple have been on
the road since Sept. 24 giving
talks illustrated by slides on
their trip to Rhodesia following
the slaying of their daughter.

Oscar Drijber, a retired
school teacher, said that facts
he obtained in Africa show that
Christine Louise Sinclair, 19, of
Guelph, was shot in the back by
automatic weapons fire.

He said his own daughter,
Marjan Ibuna, also 19, was shot
in the back, too, after hiding
behind a rock for two hours
with her body partly in the
water.
“The first shot was meant
to kill her,” he-sald of a
wounding that caused Marjan
to plunge from a ledge into the
river,

“This was no snap decision
by a trigger-happy soldier,” Mr.
Drijber said.

He said that during 23
years’ service in the Nether.
lands’ army he became a
specialist in small arms,

In the vicinity of where
Miss Sinclair was shot, Mr.
Drijber said he counted 98
impacts from machine gun or
automatic rifle fire. Blood
remained on the rocks where
his daughter hid and further
impacts could be seen.

He likened the water in the
gorge below Victoria Falls to
Heli’s Canyon in the Fraser
River.

“The current in the river is
too swift even for crocodiles,”
he said in refuting Zambian
claims that the girls aimed to

swim the river In order to blow
up a hydro station,

The two girls were long: ‘

time friends who were in a

small group on a three-month

tour of Africa,

John Crothers of Troy,
Ohio, was shot in the right hip
and suffered an eye injury as
bullets splattered against the
rock wall of the ledge they were
on, His wife, Carol, was unhurt,

Mr. Drijber sald ballistic
studies were undertaken prior
to the inquest in August in
Rhodesia. ‘The inquest esta-
biished that Miss Sinclair was
shot in the back.
Magistrate R. 8. McKay
said at the close of an inquest in
Wankie, Rhodesia, on Aug. 6
that the two Canadian girls had
been murdered by the Zambian
army, a Reuter's dispatch said.

Dr. Drijber said he has

written for an official copy of.

the inquest findings and is in
contact with the Crothers, who

filed a protest with the U.S. -

government over the shooting
incident.

Mr. Butler said the B.C,
Branch of the Canadian League
of Rights is meeting the cost of
the B.C. tour as the rights of
Canadians abroad were in-
volved,

Zambian President Ken-
neth Kaunda has offered con-
dolences and compensation to
the two families and has
admitted his troops were
responsible for the shootings.

Externa) Affairs Minister
Mitchell Sharp advised the
Drijbers to accept the offer.
The couple, however, said they
resent’ the affair being con-
sidered an isolated incident
particularly as Zambia con-
tinues to. get Canadian loans.

Mr. Butler said his league
is concerned that the Canadian
government has done nothing
to penalize the Zambian gov-
ernment and has continued
financial aid.

Should Canada give aid to
a country which kills Canadian
citizens in cold blood, he asked.
