The researchers said diff erent T-cells either help or suppress B-cells, which are important to the immune system because they help fight diseased cells. They found among separ. ated and divorced women, health and immunological functions were affected by how long they had been sep arated and how attached they were to their ex-hus bands. The longer the separation or the more attached these women were to their former spouses, the more depressed they were and the fewer helper T-cells they had, said Kiecolt-Glaser. Kiecolt-Glaser said recent ly separated women had an average of six per cent fewer helper T-cells than married women. Although women with few er helper T-cells did not nec essarily exhibit more illness, Kiecolt-Glaser said their fu ture health may be more at risk because they could be more susceptible to viruses or infectious diseases.

OTTAWA (CP) — Most major Canadian drug companies have agreed to advise parents to consult their doctors before giving children pain relievers containing 'ASA because of a possible link with « potentially fatal disease, Reye's syndrome. Common trade names for ASA products include Aspirin, Anacin, Ecotrin, Excedrin and Instantine. Dr. Samuel Licata of the federal health protection branch says he expects the companies will voluntarily follow American firms, which have been ordered by the U.S. government to put warning labels on their products with a specific reference to Reye's. : ‘The U.S. labels must refer to Reye's when warning that a doctor be consulted before the drug, acetylsalicylic acid, is used on teenagers and children with influenza or chicken pox. Bristol-Myers of Canada is already moving to adopt the stronger U.S. warning, said David Skinner, president of the Canadian Proprietary Association, which repre sents makers of non-prescription drugs. Skinner said other companies will likely follow Reye's syndrome is a rare but serious illness with symptoms of extreme fatigue, excessive vomitting and aggression. It sometimes develops in children and teens recovering from flu or chicken pox. Survivors of Reye's sometimes suffer permanent brain damage. Dr. Bill James, an Ottawa pediatrician and a director of the Canadian Pediatrie Society, said other products like cough medicines with only small amounts of ASA should be treated with the same concern as drugs like Aspirin Skinner said only that all major products containing ASA will be labelled. A pilot study involving the U.S. Centres for Disease Control last. year established what some ‘scientists call overwhelming evidence of a link between ASA and Reye's. The study indicated that children given ASA for flu or chicken pox symptoms face up to 25 times greater risk of developing Reye's. Licata, a prediatrican with the federal bureau of preseription drugs, said an average of 12 cases of Reye's syndrome are reported in Canada each year. But only a few provinces classify the illness as a reportable disease — one that must be reported to health authorities. Four known deaths attributed to Reye's have been reported for 1985, out of nine known cases. Seventeen cases and six deaths were reported to federal health authorities in 1984, Licata said. Skinner said all members of his association — about 20 drug companies — agreed last year to a warning label on ASA products. The warning doesn't specifically mention Reye's and urges customers to “consult a physician before giving this medicine to children or teenagers with chicken pox or flu.” Deafness not a safety concern MONTREAL (CP) — Deaf. ness caused by exposure to industrial machines is the most common occupational hazard, but little is done about it because it happens concern among safety com- mittees because it is not fatal, it affects older workers and it’s not a visible illness like blindness, said Atherley. “It worries me because as a gradually and isn’t fatal, a hearing expert says.

The study — designed to look at ways of preventing teenage pregnancies — also discovered that every dollar spent on prevention saves $10 in social services and health care that would other- wise be needed to deal with the aftermath of unwanted conceptions. Between 1976 and 1981 the Canadian teenage pregnancy rate declined to 43.4 from 48.6 for every thousand adol escent girls, thé study re vealed. Canada's rate now is less than half the U.S. rate. All provinces except Al berta and Newfoundland had declining rates. In Alberta the rate fluctuated, and New foundland data are incom- plete. Both the Northwest Territories and the Yukon had rising rates of teenage pregnancy. ry Os Yam 34 - vo 809 Merry Creek Road Past Fireside Motel Pastors: R.H.

Orton said the highest rate of adolescent births occurred in 1975, when one in eight babies were born to teen- agers. These babies now are entering their teens, and studies show that children of “are the most vulnerable to adolescent pregnancies.” AVOID PREGNANCY The study, which concen- trated on Ontario, cited abor- tions as an indication. that “adolescents wish to avoid pregnancy.” In 1983, almost half of adol escent pregnancies in the province ended in abortion — 7,425 or 47 per cent — in spite of constraints on access to abortion services. The year 1983 was the sec ond — 1981 was first — in which the number of abor- themselves tions dropped in Ontario, the study says. But teenage pregnancy re- mains a serious problem in Ontario even though province recorded the largest drop in the country — to 46 from 54 per thousand be- tween 1976 and 1981. The study estimates that one in six girls who was 15 years old in 1981 will be pregnant before the age of 20 — and one in seven of that pregnant group will have a second pregnancy before age 20. Maureen Leyland, presi dent of Planned Parenthood of Ontario, said a study in- munities that ranked in the middle, but only eight of 18 in low-rated communities. “There is a radical inequity here that goes beyond the in- equity we usually see in income,” said Leyland. The authors called on the provincial government to in- crease its spending on teen- age pregnancy prevention in these disadvantaged areas of the province. They also argued that all schools which receive public financing, including Roman Catholic schools, should have a sex education curriculum ' designed by the Ministry of Education. dicated the province's pro- grams to prevent teenage pregnancies favor the rich, consigning disadvantaged girls to a higher risk of preg: nancy, poverty and restric ted life opportunities.

Air Canada wants every one to know it ranks first in North America and second in the world for on-time bag gage delivery, says Dave Pember, public affairs man- ager for the airline in Atlan tie Canada. Only the national airline of Saudi Arabia ranks ahead of Canada's national carrier, he says. Of the 18 million pieces of baggage carried by Air Can- ada in 1984, 99.8 per cent arrived safely. Pember said that last year 36,000 bags were initially misdirected, but 27,000 of those were re- turned on the next flight and 7,000 were returned shortly afterwards. Only 1,500 pieces were never found and the airline made cash settle ments, he said.

R_ CAREERS Study says women sacrifice marriage NEW HAVEN, CONN. (AP) — If a college-educated woman in the United States isn’t wed by the age of 30, her chances of being married are slim, says a recently com- pleted study by a Yale Uni- versity professor. Women appear to be sac- rificing marriage for their careers and educations, said Neil Bennett, an assistant professor of sociology and co- author of the yet unpublished study. “As they defer marriage it becomes less and less likely, whether by choice or invo}- untarily, that they will ever marry,” Bennett said re- cently. “The marriage mar- ket may unfortunately be falling out from them.” The study was based on a U.S. Census Bureau survey of 70,000 households, Bennett said. The other authors of the study are Harvard economics professor David Bloom and Yale sociologist Patricia Crane. In a recent interview with The Advocate of Stamford, Bennett said he could not determine whether the fail- ure of such women to marry was voluntary. “It's not clear whether women who hit 30 without marrying ever wanted to marry,” he said. “We just don’t have statistics on the desires of women at these ages.” The study shows 78 per cent of all college-educated women who are now between the ages of 25 and 29 will marry; for black women with the same educational back ground, the figure is 60 per ce nt. White, college-educated women who haven't married by age 26 have a 50-per- cent chance of and women who reach 30 without marrying have only a 20-per- cent chance of ever doing 50, Bennett said. For black, college-educated women, the chances of mar- riage if they haven't done so by age 26 are one-in-four, while similar black women who are not married by age 30 have only an eight per cent chance of marrying, the study showed. “This is a fairly elite group of women,” Bennett said. “The educational at- tainment of black women is higher than black men and this could cause problems for marriageability.” He said the traditional marriage rate for all women is about 90 per cent but “those historical statistics seem to break down in mod- ern time.” PAINTING & DECORATING FrounTH AVENUE a.c 2649 ASTLEGAR por 2s! 365:3563 90 CRANNE 2007 CASTUGAR. 86. ver ae CASTLEGAR Morrison x weet see it, I'll findit!” AR 365-2912 REPAIR LTD. soses'’s wrom Newspapers Ther pap advertiser with circulation, size, page @ = choice and day choice. offers fl ibility to an savings!) hen it comes to saving money, come to the Sandman now and save a whopping 25% off our regular rates.
