CASTLEGAR NEWS, November 5, 1980 /Erma Bombeck New parents worry about the dumbest things. | guess we all did. It comes with the territory. | remember a nervous neighbor of mine who read somewhere that a child should have two ‘'stools’’ a day. As compelling as it was for me to hang around and walt for the quota to be met, she finally devised a code to keep me informed. She'd simply put a cardboard sign tn her window announcing, ‘‘Onel'' or ‘*Twol" Needless to say, she drove the bread man crazy. (not to mention the kid growing up remembering his mother as a red-faced woman hanging over the crib. making weird nolses.) | always thought the No. 1 concern of new parents was the selection of a name until | heard a story from a grandmother this week whose daughter had Just had a baby. Everything had gone well. The baby had a name everyone could live.with, was In good health and~ schedules were being met. ‘Then came the hitch. “What does the baby call Grandma?’’ In keeping with modern attitudes, her first name was suggested. Samantha? The child would be old enough to drive before she could handie that. How about Grandma Malers? Too formal. Besides, to be consistent, she’ d have to call her other Grandma by her last name which was Fliederhofer. Wait a minute. Shee everyone | called Samantha “'Sam,"' how about Grandma Sam? Negative. Already the child had a problem with two parents who shared the same name. Couldn't you sea a, teacher asking, ‘‘What's your daddy’s name?’’ Jerry. “And your mother's name?” Jerry. ‘And’ your grand- mother's name?"’ Sam. Forget It. Was she comfortable with “Granny? “Absolutely not. It suggested a silver-haired, plump woman with apple cheeks. “Grandmama?"' She'd have to have her halr done. every, week to live up to that one. Nanny?’ Sounded like a hired grandmother who flies with: fer umbrella open. “‘Nana?" That's the sound a goat makes. “Namo and Nonee?’’ Aren't they the whales at Sea World? Finally, someone said, ‘What about Grandma?” “It's catchy,’’ sald Jerry. “It's different,'’ said Jerry. “IL think it's me,"' sald Samantha.

Off to good start VANCOUVER (CP) — Like love, important ° sci- entific discoveries have to be courted, says Dr. Harold Copp, whose 30-year pursuit of an elusive hormone brought him international acclaim and restored health to thosands afflicted with a painful bone disease. : Copp recalled wooing, and winning his discovery in a recent lecture to medical hers at the Uni “I realized that it was a virginal field,” Copp recalled. - “And there is nothing more Framing Guaranteed Work — 365-3771 CH uerer tes CONCRETE LTD.

The affair started three decades ago the night before Copp was to deliver a lecture on calcium regulation in the body and realized in a panic that he had nothing to say. Postal clerks to insist on declarations With the great increase in the number of parcels mailed at this time of year, persons sending parcels to relatives or friends outside Canada are reminded that the necessary customs dec- _larations must be securely attached to their parcels. Canada Post spokesmen says its employees, in view of -the seriousness of the situ- ation, are to ensure that par- cels accepted. for mailing to any country have the nec- essary documents attached, and are properly and accur- ately completed by the send- er.

His research lab at UBC, where he continues to work beyond normal retirement age, has turned up a new calcium hormone that may prove more useful than cal- citonin. The hormone, telecalcin, was another gift from sal- mon. Because the fish contin- ually pump water’ through their gills, they are exposed to much higher concentra- tions of calcium than humans, he explained. The hormone is suspected to block the trans- port of calcium through gill tissues into the salmon’s bloodstream.
