Sit Says Pain is Related To Brain Disorganization A visiting fakir who walks over hot coals and rests on beds of nails has shown in tests conducted at University of Vic- toria that he is in a state of relaxation while resisting pain. Dr. David Walker, a psy- chologist at the university who was involved with the tests, says the fakir, Vernon E. Craig of Ohio, is a pretty ordinary guy neurologically. “The resuits of the tests fit in pretty well with the theory that pain is related to brain dis- organization and that we react to pain the way we'do because of cultural conditioning,” said Dr. Walker. He said the . scientists tested Craig by feeding dif- ferent words into each of his ears at the same time. “It's a pretty confusing and mind-boggling test,” he said, Craig to withstand pain by shutting off feelings in his back and that they were more in- terested in Craig's state of mind during his pain-resisting feats. sate Craig has been tested at many universities and medicat centres ‘and Dr. Walker’ said that little more can be obtained by more tests, “The fact is that-he can do it,” said Walker, “and whatever explanation he gives for being able to do it is probably more important than what we say. You can't always wait for science to figure things. out.” He added the ability to keep organized under stimuli is a common theme expressed by people like Craig who have the ability to resist pain. Craig has been working on “but Craig showed in brain organi: z J Baby shampoo Johnson & Johnson 350mi. .

The university also tested the sensitivity of Craig's back because “we wanted to find out » whether the sensitivity of his back was normal and whether it had been injured from lying on nails, so we tested him with an instrument made up of hairs of varying thickness.” “While he wasn’t laying on the bed of nails, he had above normal sensitivity in his back, but when he was lying on the bed his sensitivity diminished. to normal.” He added that the scien- tists hadn't “really expected Use of Fire ie his state of mind and altering his circulatory and respiratory ‘patterns since he found a discarded book on yoga when he was eight years old, City's 1978 Budget Adoption Set for May 9 Discussion on the city's 1978 budget will begin in a closed-session meeting May 4, council members decided Tues- day. Referring to the recent closed-session passage of the Regional District of Central Kootenay 1978 budget, Ald. -Gerald ‘Rust, administrative services and finance committee chairman, said the preliminary . Meeting did not represent an attempt to pass the budget in committee of the whole. He assured reporters that the budget would be presented at council's regular open meet- ing May 9 fer adoption. for Spring . _ Cleanup Leaves Marks ! The utilization, of fire. for \ spring cleanup is already bring- ing its lesson home. Three acres of unoccupied property in Brilliant stands as a reminder after a fire: of un- known origin ignited dry grass Sunday. % Nearby residerits who put out the blaze by lighting a backfire said the fire lasted . about an hour and could have spread to nearby houses had the wind been stronger. BCCPSE Continued from page Al going to get into another bureaucratic mess,” he said, In response to Gouk's question on whether the city would be free to leave the BCCPSE at will, Embree point- ed out that members must give three months’ notice before leaving and pay dues until the end of the subsequent calendar year if-they leave after Oct. 1. Rust said the information Just prior to the noonhour Monday the Castlegar Fire Department (North) responded toa call but found their services unneeded. Grass was being burned on an empty lot at the corner of Pine Street and Eighth Avenue North when an ornamental cedar along the lot edge caught fire. causing concern for a nearby home. An extensive cleanup job was accomplished Monday eve- ning in the vicinity of the Cloverleaf Motel when a con- trolled burn was conducted by $2,000 GRANT Continued from page Al mendation until it could estab-* lish its policy for making such grants. Speaking in favor of the motion, Ald, Albert Calderbank said that the collapse of the previous Chamber several years ago was probably caused by a lack of funds.” “If they don't get funds of some description we as a city lose out on funds available from the * provincial government,” Calderbank said. He described the Chamber executive as “young and pro- gressive” and told council the poor turnout was not the- executive members’ fault. “Of an alderman, on the | basis of one visit, crying that, organization down, I take a ; very dim view,” he said. supporting the motion, said the previous Chamber was an or- ganization “which used to rep-: resent a cross-section of the community.” He told..council the previous Chamber; had in past years received a total of. $1,000 in grants from. the Kinnaird and Castlegar village councils annually. . “Rather than each member of the chamber $20, I think it is not unreasonable to’ charge residents of the city’85 cents each,” he said. “Adv tisi: 7 Ald.

But he told the Commons that despite the prospect of an early election, he would not make “irresponsible promises” and he provided no general reduction in personal income taxes." ts Instead, Chretien called for “hard work, imagination, deter- mination and discipline” to restore economic health. |; Also provided are addi- tional tax incentives for oil companies, a $50-million-a-year tax benefits package for com- panies to do more research and development in Canada and encouragement for moro. rail- way construction. At the same time, Chretien said the government's over-all cash deficit will rise to $11.5 billion in the financial year that started April 1 on total outlays of $52.15 billion and income of $40.65 billion, 3 This is a 85-per-cent rise jn the deficit to be covered by borrowing, excluding transac- _ tions in support of the Canadian dollar, up from the $8.5 billion deficit of the tax year ended March 31. The finance minister said he has “shaded down” his fore- cast of five-per-cent real ecd- nomic growth this year, al- though he hopes for an increase near that rate. Chretien estimated a seven-per-cent rise in the con- sumer price index this year compared with his earlier fore- casts of six per cent. Accept- able wage rises are held to six per cent for most workers this year by the government's anti- inflation guides. The budget says there should be some modest decline in national unemployment, which now has more than one million workers on the jobless. ! lines, if growth and price rise targets are met. - Chretien warned that Canadians are going to have to accept higher prices for some goods, particularly imported products, without expecting any increase in their incomes. This was because wage and price controls are gradually coming off this year starting April 14, Local Senior Citizens - Appoint Delegates Castlegar and District Se- nior Citizens Association last week appointed Mrs. J.

The new budget, he said, represents an increase of 9.8 per cent over the revised esti- mates for 1977-78. “This increase in expendi- ture includes our new long- term health-care program, which alone, accounts for three per cent," he said. “In other words, the increase would have been only 6.8 per cent without this new and important pro- gram.” . Wolfe said the suspension of the sales tax on machinery would cost the government $15 million in ‘revenues and the reduction. in the corporation capita! tax about $6 million a year. ; Help planned for small businesses includes a $1 million program of small business training to develop manage- citizens housing facilities.
