The DNA, or genetic code, of the Epstein-Barr virus has been found in the bone marrow of patients with aplastic anemia, researchers report in the recent Annals of Internal Medicine. In patients with that disease, usually young adults, the bone mar. row stops working and fails: to produce enough red blood cells to carry oxygen through the body. While unlikely to be a common cause of bone marrow failure among those who lack a-history of infectious mononucleosis, Epstein-Barr virus must be considered as a possible cause of aplastic anemia, the authors wrote. The lead researcher, Dr. Bruce Baranski, said aplastic anemia afflicts about 200 people a year in the United States, usually a few months after a MORE RECIPES NELLIE'S BLUEBERRY JAM Wash berries and squash them into @ four cup measure.

They will all be offered positions at the same terms and conditions with Johnson Matthey A Johnson Matthey spokesman dismissed suggestions the company may decide to move the Trail opera tions, noting the firm just spent $40 million for the assets. He also pointed out that the business is not that por. table. The sale, subject to approval by Investment Canada, is expected to be completed by Nov. 30 Johnson Matthey specializes in ad vanced materials technology and its activities include the refining, mar keting and fabricating of precious metals and rare materiais. One of the benefits of the sale is expected to be Johnson Matthey's worldwide marketing organization, something Cominco lacked The sale is part of Cominco's plan to develop and expand its production of minor metals and concentrate its efforts on its core business of mining, smelting and refining, mineral ex. ploration and fertilizer production. School classes crowded By BONNE MORGAN Staff Writer Classes in’ the Castlegar School District are too crowded, says Castle. gar teachers. The Castlegar and District Tea- chers* Association says 97 classes are too crowded to “sufficiently” meet the needs of students. The CDTA and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation believes there should be no more than 20-25 students in a class for effective learning. In a recent survey, the CDTA found that 46 classes at Stanley Humphries sec. ondary school and 35 at Kinnaird Junior secondary school had more than the maximum of 20-25 students. As well, the CDTA says nine elementary classes, six primary and three kindergarten classes are too large. The CDTA says it would like to see no more than 20 students in a kindergarten class and 25 in primary classes, “In crowded classrooms the stu dents aren't getting the individual attention they need,” Margaret Hill, a teacher at SHSS told school trustees at Monday's education for. um. Hill said safety is a concern in the six overcrowded senior secondary shop classes. The report compiled by the CDTA is also worried about safety in science labs and physical education classes. The report states that at the elem entary levels, overcrowding in kin dergarten and Grade 1 classes could cause poor student progress in future grades. . “At this extremely important Stage in the students’ educational lives, they need lots of individual at tention and encouragement,” it says. Hill mentioned the problem areas in the high school levels are very serious in-the core subject areas and art “These relatively important courses and many of these have 32, 33, 34 students in it,” she said. t's really hard to get those important concepts across,” she said, explaining that it is much harder to maintain discipline in a class with more than 30 students and that marking time effects the number of assignments given. Hill said students coming from single-parent families have greater emotional needs, while disabled and learning disabled students also re- quire more attention. Hill said that teachers are so con- cerned about overcrowding some have formed a committee to lower class sizes. Nine teachers, seven of them elementary teachers, will hold their first meeting tonight. The CDTA finds that teachers with large classes are overloaded with lesson preparation and marking. The BCTF and the CDTA has set 120 pupils per year as a desireable class load. “In Castlegar schools, too many teachers have loads over 150 (pupils per year) and several have student loads of over 200 (pupils per year),” the teachers’ association report states Hill said that although she realizes overcrowding is a province-wide problemi, ~moré~ teachers must be hired. “Too many (teachers) aides are being hired instead of teachers,” Hill said. But are superintendent of schools continued on page A2 Major provincial convention coming By RON NORMAN Editor Castlegar will play host to a major provincial convention next spring, council learned Tuesday night Between 400 and 450 members of the Knights of Pythias and the Pythian Sisters will converge on Castlegar for three days in May. The convention, set for May 10, 11 and 12 at the Community Complex, the Sandman Inn and the Fireside Inn, will be hosted by the Knights of Pythias Lodge No. 70 and the Pythian Sisters Kootenay Temple No. 37 The Knights and Sisters are a fraternal order with about 60 mem bers in Castlegar. “We're a small lodge,” explained spokesman Gerry Wanless, but he said the local members feel the Castlegar area has everythihg need ed “to promote a good convention.” He and fello: Knight Anton Schwiertz asked council to support the convention and help promote it within the community Council agreed to provide some city buttons or pins, and suggested the Pythians approach the Castlegar Chamber of Commerce and the Castlegar and District Development Board for additional support Schwiertz said the convention, called the B.C.

Patti Richards said the Abilities Aware- ness Committee has submitted an application for a federal grant to help pay for a new paratransit bus. “The feds will fund up to $25,000 or 80 per cent of the purchase,” Richards said. She noted that the bus has the -suppert-of Keotenay West MP Bob Brisco. “Tam very positive that we will get this funding,” Richards added. She said the bus will provide door-to-door service, as well as fill in gaps in the conventional bus service. For instance, she said the present bus does not pick up Robson students in time for them to travel to Selkirk College for morning classes. Richards suggested the paratransit bus could take the students. She also said the bus might be used “one or two days a week” to extend the city bus system to Genelle, where it would meet up with the Trail bus system and provide Castlegar riders with a way of getting to Trail. Richards said the paratransit bus, which can hold up to four passengers in wheelchairs and six other passen- gers, or 11 passengers when there are no wheelchairs, can also be “booked” by residents. “People can book as a subscription.
