Survival Book
By B.C. Gov't.
Depts. Proves
To Be Popular

“Wilderness Survival", a
booklet produced jointly by two
B.C. government departments,
has proved to be so popular
that a second printing has been
ordered.

The pocketbook is aimed at
campers, hikers, skiers, hunt-
ers and others who go into
wilderness areas, It describes
everything from the type of
equipment to be carried, to how
to send signals if a person is
lost. One section is devoted to
edible plants for those who
might become lost. ‘The intro-
duction deals with survival
psychology.

‘The first t printing of 60, 000

as been distribuied” aid T=
second printing of 50,000 has
been ordered through the
Queen's Printer.

« Officials in the information
division, British Columbia for-
ext service, and the outdoor re-
ereziion branch, department of
cecreation and travel industry
prepared the booklet, according
to an announcement by the two
Ministers  concerned—Hon.
Tom d Hon. Grace

How did the executive, the
housewife and the construction
foreman come to A.A.?

The executive was refer-

suggested he might be an
alcoholic ‘and said excessive
drinking might be the cause of
his “nervous tension,” rather
than the cure. The doctor
mentioned that alcoholism, in

Al,.the construction fore-
man, resisted similar advice,
not only from medical men and
the clergy, but from friends,
employers and family. He was
determined to control his drink-

ing without help from others. It |

was not until he woke up-in a
third-rate hotel after a week-
long binge that he realized he
was beaten and he called A.A.

‘Two members came to see
him. They were sympathetic,

Book Review by Percy Maddux

Expedition fo the South Pole

The South Pole.
count of the Norwegian Ant-
arctic, Expedition in the
“Fram,” 1910-1912, by Roald
Amundsen. Translated — from
the Norwegian by A. G. Chater.
McClellend and Stewart Limit-
ed, Toronto. 802 pp. $35.

When Robert’ Peary .re-
ported the discovery of the
North Pole in 1909, a discovery
disputed by Frederick Cook,
the South Pole remained to be
reached. In the spring of
1911, two separate expeditions
set out for it—the British party
under Robert Falcon Scott and
the Norwegian party under
Roald Amundsen.

On Dec. 14 the Norwegian
party reached the South Pole
and planted the Norwegian flag
there, naming the plateau
where the Pole is situated King

An ac:

Haakon VII's Plateau, Scott did
not reach the Pole until Jan. 18,
1912, His party, like that of
Amundsen, consisted of five
men, but all of them died on the
Teturn journey. -

‘The world seems to have
become fascinated by the Scott
tragedy, and Amundsen’s story
when published in translation
in London in 1912 did not havea
tremendous impact upon the
reading public. Yet it is well
written, graphically describing
the weather and the topo-

graphy and the activities of the .

men.

It was long out of print and
the two volumes have now been
reprinted in one with the
original illustrations. The mod-
ern reader will find this an
exciting and worthwhile first-
hand account of how the South
Pole was first reached by man.

felt to fight alcohol time after
time and lose, until finally there
was no fight left! These men
knew. They had been down the |
same road.

Emphasizing that there
were no musts in A.A., Al's
visitors invited him to see what
the Fellowship had to offer.
‘Their understanding gave him

- hope. They said, “If we can do

it, you can do it.”
They helped him stay away
from a drink that pean epen

postponed drinking for 10 min-
utes, and then for another 10
minutes through the day. Al's
visitors became his sponsors—
the men who would work
closely with him during his first
few months in A.A.

Later, they took A! to his
first A.A. meeting. The room
was filled and buzzing with
‘conversation. The 40 or so men
and women came from all walks
of life. They used first names
and spoke with the easy
familiarity of old friends. In
spite of any differences that
might appear on the surface,
they looked as though they
belonged together.

‘This was an open meeting.
Most of those present were
alcoholics, but many were re-
latives and friends. You could-
n't tell one from another. The
hearty, laughing fellow had
never had “one too many” in his
life, It was the quiet woman
next to him who had been
hospitalized ‘four times before
she found A.A.

‘Three speakers summar-
ized their drinking experiences
and told how they used the
A.A. program to maintain
sobriety.’ The | interpretation
and procedure might be dif-

ferent, but the results were the’

same. Each individual had
found his or her own way to
sobriety within the framework
of A.A.

As the meeting closed with
the Lord's Prayer, most joined
in, but a few were silent. They
may have been agnostics, or
those, like Al, who had not yet
had time to rediscover faith. No
matter, for A.A, has no re-
ligious requirements for mem-
bership.

you'll be able to handle the
others,”

They left him then—with
some of thelr experience, some
of their strength, and some of
their hope. They also gave him
something to cat to offset the
physical craving for a drink,
some A.A. literature to read if
he couldn't sleep, and two
phone numbers to call if he felt
he might be tempted to drink.

“I think I can make it,” Al
said.

He ate something, read
three pamphlets, and made one
phone call—“just to talk for a
few minutes.” And he finally

«got to sleep. The hardest day

was done,
He'd make it! Tomorrow

- would be better.

McCarthy.

“The book clearly meets a
real need,” said Mr. Waterland.
“We're going to make it avail-
able through our two depart-
ments, enabling the public to
safely enjoy their wilderness
experience.”

Mrs. McCarthy said “Wild-
erness Survival" is part of the
government's new interdepart-
mental approath to’ improve
wilderness safety. “Staff from
my department, the forest
service, and several other de-
partments are preparing safety
standards for groups active in
wilderness recreation,” she
said. “With the ’ increasing
public interest in the outdoors,
we are increasing our efforts to
assure the safety of B.C. re-
sidents and visitors.”

“Wilderness Survival” is
available free of charge from
any office of the B.C. forest
service, or from the outdoor
recreation branch, department
of recreation and travel in-
dustry at Victoria.

quote from the latest report
from a CUSO volunteer:

“It is hoped in the future to -

become involved in more tech-
nical work. The project can
organize -and~ supervise the
work on schools, water systems
and landslide areas. We hope to

that they must also take part in
