. Tries Habit
~ Kicking In

Classroom.

Seventh and eighth
giaders at Shenandoah School
inSt, Louis are trying | to quit
smoking.

School officials and the
American Cancer Society con-
ducted a “kicking the habit”
clinic after school for. three
weeks. Thirty-eight students
sought help, nearly one-third of
the 13- and 14-year-olds at the
school.

~."I_ was a little surprised
that 38 were heavy amokers
wh said they wanted to (quit)
but could not,” said principal
Nola Mae Morgan, an ex-
smoker and initiator of the
program. :
The smoking problem isn't
a new one for Dr. Morgan,
whose office in past years was
often graced by youthful smok-

es,
1" “You mean you can't wait
ll recess or lunch?” she asked
them, (Now was the reply, “We
need help.”

i} For three weeks, 120

syenth and eighth graders at-
tehded assemblies to hear a
Ijhg specialist, a neck surgeon
and a psychologist talk about
spioking.

| Twice a week, the 98 stu-
dehts who signed up for help in

qpitting smoking attended “rap
gtoups"™ given by a local’ coun-
selling centre.

t “Host youngsters at this
age group smoke from peer
pressure. It's the ‘in’ thing to
do,” Dr. Morgan said.

+ Dr. Morgan said not all the
school’s smokers signed up for
the program, just those ‘who
wanted to quit. At least three
students quit “cold turkey” and

others were cutting back.

Provides a Community Service

Homemakers’ Training Undervay

‘This non-profit agency has.

+8; team of-approximately 35;
welltzained paid ’ employees

who are prepared to provide
homemaker services to those
who need this kind of help.
In fact, a training program
consisting of six workshops is

presently underway in Castle-.

gar for some dozen home-
makers—both new recruits and
“old timers.”

‘The training program be-

ganon Oct. 12 with a discussion

‘of the role of the homemaker in

the community and a look at

_various local agencies: which

sometime work in conjunction
with, the homemaker's  pro-
gram. The talk was led by
Rosemary Jensen, a public
health nurse in Castlegar, anda
member of the Homemaker's
board of directors. ag
On Tuesday of last week,
of Mrs.

Next Tuesday, “Home
Nursing and Body’ Mechanics”
will be explained by Dorothy
Gougeon, a new member of
Selkirk. College's School of
Nursing.

-Then on Nov, 9 a subject
that should be second nature to
everyone—“Accident. Preven-
tion and Safety in the Home—
Some Basic First Aid” will be
taught by Al Clausen,-an In-
dustrial First Aid expert and
teacher at the high: school.

Finally, on Nov. 18, Rose-

mary Jensen and Laura. Rich-
ards, ‘the supervisor. .of. the
Homemaker's Service will re-
late all the previously learned
material to some examples of
possible. problem situations
that could be met by the home-
makers in their work.

‘Another. training session
willbe organized early in the
new year.

Additonal information may

Depression
Can Strike
At Any Age

Depression can strike at

any age... and women are
more prone.

Depression is not to be
taken lghtlyl

Medical ‘researchers esti-
mate that almost half of the
attempted suicides in the na-
tion are a direct result of that
dejected state of mind. .

“Depression causes suffer-
ing, incapacity ‘and. economic
toss. It often ends in suicide,”
said Dr. H. | E,» Lehmann,
director of education and re-
search at the Douglas Hospital
in Montreal.

Depression hits young and

old alike and one in every:10 ~
people eventually develop path- |

ological depression, he added.
Unfortunately, most. peo-
ple mask their true feelings and
the majority of | cases, “are
‘undiagnosed ‘and ‘untreated...
Antidepressant medie-
ation works for only about 65
per cent of patients who seek
medical help. But “10 to 20 per
cent of all patients respond to
nothing.”

Dr. Lehmann states that
women tend to be more prone
to depression than men and
‘usually undergo treatment fora
longer period of time.

Young people are easier to
treat than old people, says the
researcher, because often the
elderly realize or believe that
the future holds little for them.
Ifthey also suffer from physical
illness they are likely to remain
depressed “and there is little
‘one can do.”

Alcoholics and drug ad-
dicts are. especially. hard. to
treat because anti-depressant
drugs are not safe if the patient
continues to drink or take dope.

In ‘younger people, the

“ hardest to reach are those who

seek “unattainable dominant.
goals.” Once they give up these
goals ‘the road to recovery is
quite rapid.

These goals include ca-
reers beyond one’s limitations,
being unable to have children of

thelr own and'often marriasge: |

itself.

New input on output

By KENNETH McDONALD

Productivity has become
an overworked word. Paliti-
clans and economists give the
impresston that improving it
will solve everything. Yet the
accepted definition (output
per employee) is highly mis-
leading. The term “product-
ivity" needs to be defined
differently,

eee

Measuring output solely
in ‘terms of employees’ pro-
ducthity implies an ‘suto-
matic bias toward large, capi-
tal-intensive firms. Through
special concessions — capital
cost - allowances ‘and > fast
write-offs — the tax system
reinforces this bias by en-
couraging these firms to re-
place men with machines.

eee

If productivity were mea-
sured as output in terms of
capital employed, measure-
ments would be biased in
favour of small firms which
are labour-intensive. Com-
paring the. productivity of
big and small businesses is
like comparing apples to

oranges.
e

Any form of monopoly
power will produce apparent
gains in productivity. Ac-
quiring or merging with com-
peting companies and ¢hus -

creating barriers to the entry.
of new ventures, So will the
proliferation, under the im-

pact of massive advertising,
of consumer products which
have only superficial differ-
ences in name'and packaging.
eee
Clearly, present producti-
vity figuresare unreliable asa
guide to national competi-
live efficiency. They give us
no clue as to which indus-
tries should be encouraged,
which phased out.
eee

Nor do they give recogni-
tion to social costs — suchas
health’ care, environmental
damage. of resource‘ deple-
tion — for which accounting

which rank highest for pro-
ductivity by the present
method of measurement are

.. distilling and the exploration

of non-renewable resources.
e

The Canadian Federation
of Independent Business
would like to see the govern-
ment establish a more effec-
tive form of. productivity
measurement which would
relate output to the amount
of both capital and labour
employed.

eee

Actually, true _improve-
ments in the productivity of
a business. come not from

capital or-labour but from *

the way. that managers put
these’ both together — for
example, through better
planning and procedures and
more effective manpower.
and personnel policies,
