* Ministers Decide fo Scrap
| CHR & HC Pilot Project

A dispute over who will
have direct control over Public
Health Nurses in the Boundary
Area appears to have brought
about the ‘downfall of the
Boundary Community Human
Resources and Health Centre,
and the elected board which
governs it,

Citing g considerable \ ris,

at Grand Forks and four aimilar
projects in other parts.of B.C,

Mr. Hewitt said that the
main hang-up at the meeting
was the question of “second-
ing” or transferring Public
Health Nurses in the Boundary.

West Kootenay Health Unit to
the auspices of the Human

istrative ismuea”, , Health ‘Minis
ter Bob McClelland and Human.
Resources Minister Bill Vander
Zalm have d that the

The development. group

pilot project “can no longer be
justified.”

The ministers reached this
conclusion last week following a
meeting in Victoria with Bound-
ary-Similkameen MLA Jim He-
witt, and “other senior mem-
bers of our departments.” *

These “senior members”
included Dr. Nick Schmitt,
director of the West Kootenay
Health Unit, and members of
the government's “develop:
ment group” who have been
responsible for the pilot project

When no agreement could

no longer be justified.”

Last Performance Saturday

Dear Sir:

The Castlegar and District
Arts Council has endeavored,
during the past year, to bring a
variety of musica} programs to
our area, but these have met.
with a very. poor response.

‘This is an appeal to ‘all

those who enjoy classical music ”

to turn out Saturday night to
hear the last performance of a
non-profit group, from Kimber-
ley, called the Kootenay Cham-
ber Orchestra.

Bikes: Need
Lessons

Today in Canada, cyciists
are everywhere —
parks, going to work and even

are about two million bicycles
in Canada. An educated guess
is that there are about 340,000
bicycles in British Cotumbia.

* Official figures gathered in
the United States show that
more than 13 million bicycles
were purchased there in 1972.

Recre ational cycling in
British Columbia, says Mrs.

Joan Bridge, director of the

B.C. Cycling’ Association, has
grown “tremendously.”.

“There was a tremendous
surge in cycling at the end of =

“1971 and ‘the beginning ‘of

1972," she ‘says. “And the

growth is continuing.”

Her pet peeve is parents
who buy their children a faney

give them any instruction on’

Operating Costs Increase
Faster than PWA's Revenue

Revenues for Pacific West-
ern Airlines in 1975 rose 16.3
per cent ‘but operating costs
jumped 18.3 per cent, according
tothe company’s annual report,

Despite continued efforts
to restrain costs operating
expenses went from $75.7 mil-
lion to $92.7 million.

Revenues rose from $85
million to $101.6 million, with
passenger business on sched-
uled services contributing $60.6
million,

Passenger and freight re-
ceipts on scheduled . flights
amounted to 69.2 per cent of
total revenues, the balance
coming from charter. opera-
tions. :

The airline, which had net
earnings of $1.86 million last
year, as against $1.3 million the

* previous year, worsened an

already poor operating ratio,
with profits remaining nearly
static while revenues rose
substantially.

” PWA ended the year with
a fleet of 27 aircraft, 12 of them
Boeing 787's. Another 737 is on
order:at a cost of $6.1 million;
otherwise no fleet additions are

planne
During 1975 long-term

debt declined from $19.9 million
to $18.6 million, but this was
chiefly -due to PWA selling
aircralt and then leasing them
back.

The lease-back arrange-
ment on alreraft released 5
million and at year end PWA
was expecting to realize
another $2.2 million through
the sale of five unwanted
aircraft—two Lockheed | Elec-

principle and the remaining two
planes are actively’ being mar-
keted.

The total recovered from
these sales may well exceed the
$2.2 million estimate,

Interestingly, the airline in
1975 revised the life expecta-
tion of certain aircraft and
changed the method of caleulat-
ing depreciation on its fleet. In

been made to the balance sheet
entries, PWA would have end-
ed the year with a profit of only
$385,149, or a return: of less
than .4 per cent on revenue.

Dr. Bob Young :

Most people are surprised

effect. Even if you are among
the eight per. cent. of the
population that abstains from
either drink, it is likely that you
occasionally have cocoa, hot
chocolate, or cola-type soft
drinks. All these contain the
drug.

Please do not misunder-
stand. I certainly do not feel
that indulgence in caffeine-
containing beverages in reason-
able amounts is . going to
seriously affect anyone's
health. With average use, the
benefits probably outweigh the
dangers. A good cup of coffee is
certainly one’ of life's small
pleasures.

Effects of the drug are
related to both dosage and the
sensitivity of the user. Moder-
ate use does result in reduction
of fatigue and drowsiness, and
may even result in clearer
thinking and more sustained
mental activity.

tasks can be done may increase,

isl ffects of
low dosage are increased heart
rate and faster breathing.

Large doses (seven or:

more cups of coffee daily), or
average doses in sensitive
people, may result in insomnia,
nausea, vomiting, nervousness
or dizziness, and muscle trem-
ors. Excessive urination, “cof-
fee goes right through me”, is
also dose related.

Like most drugs, calfeine
can cause poisoning with pro-
longed heavy use. Tolerance
can develop, with larger and
larger amounts being required
to obtain the “lift.” True drug
withdrawal symptoms occur
when the drug use is suddenly
stopped. ‘

So, enjoy your cup or two
of coffee or tea and when you
want it. Just remember that
moderation, even with a drink
as mild as coffee, makes good
health’ sense.
