2 Eat All
You Want
And Lose

Dieters may be able to eat
all‘they want and still remain
slim with the help of a drug
being tested at the University
of Ilinois Medical Centre.

ByJACK CHARTERS -
In Memorium -

A lot of us said our. fare-
wells to a good friend on’
Monday and I suspect that those
of us who attended the service
for the‘ late Les Campbell,

as! ‘it passes ae the body.

Three university research-
ers reported the results ,of
testing the drug, perflourooctyl
bromide, on rats.

An untreated group aver-
aged an eight-per-cent weight
gain, while a treated group:
gained no weight at all, the
scientists reported. .No side:
elects were noted.

Dr. Sarfar Niazi, an assis-
tant professor of pharmacy,
said the drug will be ready for
testing on humans within a
year and might reach the
market in two or three years.

He said effects of the drug
are temporary and the sub-
stance in inert, meaning it does
not change chemically or bio-
logically in the body.

One possible drawback is
that. the drug may. prevent
body absorption of vitamins
and minerals, as well as fats
and carbohydrates, and further
tests are necessary, he said.

though we. were,
represented only the tip of the
iceberg, given the suddenness
of his passing and the lack of a
weekend paper.

If, however, the numbers in
attendance at a man’s passing is
any measure of the richness of
his relationships in life, then Les
Campbell was a wealthy man, °
indeed,

ine was ancient -and

pedis and demanded consid-
erable tinkering in its black
and greasy interior, but never
did I see him lose his temper or
his ‘‘just- out- of- a- ‘bandbox’”'
grooming—-neither then nor lat-
er, when he graduated to a full-
time print shop and a full-
sized paper (the Castlegar
News), with much larger, gtim-
ier and ornery equipment.

Farewell to a Friend

E.G.0. Makes Last Appearance

T often suspect that he had
that rare quality of inner control
which would enable him to
spend a thoroughly frustrating
day with completely obdurate
equipment, then wash his

hands, remove his apron,”
‘straighten his fancy waistcoat,

put on his jacket, tip his
homburg at just the right angle
and step out of his office with
that ‘Maurice Chevalier “boule-
vardier look—that warm smile
and that friendly greeting to all
he met—as if he had spent a
pleasant and profitable day at
the races.
Strength Through Suffering
It was a quality which grew.
and matured as the years pass-
ed and illness and suffering
became more and more a part of
his daily life. For, as good iron

turmoil of forge and anvil, so his

creased and he warmed and
strengthened those about him,
for he gave of himself freely and
cheerfully.

It is a quality which calls to
mind the -words of Francis of
Assisi, who sald: “Grant that I
may not so much seek to be

consoled as to console; to be.

understood, as to understand; to
be loved, as to love; for it is in
giving that we receive; it is in
pardoning that we are pardoned
and it is in dying that we are
born to eternal life."”

Good Associations, Rick Me-
mories ‘

"My personal relationships
with him began not'long after he
had launched the Castle News,
when I became one of his first
columnists under the E.G.0.
byline. It was an association
which lasted week in and week
out for many years, since it was
based on a sense of mutual trust
and integrity.

He made no changes be-
yond the correction of the
occasional misplaced modifier—
and no demands—and never in
that time or since, revealed the

: identity of of the aye .G.0. It

was a good n, tich in
memories and experience.

+ The Essence—The Gentleman’
And this perhaps is the real go
essence of the man, Les Camp- -

bell. He was, by instinct, that

rare and much abused being -

these‘days—a true gentleman—
a characteristic which was
strengthened and reinforced by
the constant: presence of his
gentle wife, Mary (whom I
always call ‘Mrs. Campbell’),
a loving family and, as well, a
deep, abiding faith in a like
quality in others.

It is a faith which has borne
a rich harvest.,
Of, Warmth and Triumphant Joy

Some sense of that harvest
was reflected in the service ofl
Monday. There was a sadness
and sense of loss as there is
bound to be at such ees, be

of warmth and triumphant fey,
particularly in the singing ‘and

And a Full Life

- We said our last farewell on
that hillside, solely amidst the
green grass, the open sky and
the sunshine, and it was not a
sad thing. Yet, for many of us
who were proud to call him a

friend, the tears would not go ©

away.

He was not a man who
painted life in broad, bold
canvases across the land, but
modestly—in miniature—in bis
own small corner of it.

Windshield Wipers
Need Special Care

As with so many other
vilal components on your car,
your windshield wipers - are
most likely to fail just when you
need them the most—during
the next rainstorm,

A Salute

By way of a final salute, 1

would like to’ offer these lines
from John Bunyan's famous
book ‘The Pilgrims Progress’’,
which tells of the passage of the
great Mr. Valiant-for-Truth:
| “"Then,"* sald he, “I am
going to my Father's; and
though with great difficulty I
have got hither, yet now I do not,
repent me of all the troubles t
have been at to arrive where I
am. My sword I give to him that
shall succeed me in my pil-
grimage, and my courage and
skill to him that bes get it. My
marks and scars I carry with me
to be witness for me that I
fought His battles who now will
be my rewarder.

accompanied him to the river-

said: “Death, where is thy

And as he went Gespers he
said, “Grace, where is thy

So he passed over, and all
the.trumpets sounded for him
