The statistics show that the two
items appear to be the most sought
after consumer durables and that
demand for them keeps growing.

households had a VCR, up from 45,2
per cent in 1987 and 35.4 per cent
just two years ago. Similarly, 53.8
per cent of households are equipped
with a microwave oven, up from 43.3
per cent in 1987 and 33.7 per cent in
1986.

Shoppers have been selective
about their purchases, favoring
labor-saving devices, like dishwash
ers and gas barbecues, ‘and home
entertainment goods, such as color
TVs. But makers of hand-held tele-
vision cassette recorders, compact
disc players and home computers
have had more difficulty expanding
their markets in Canada, the report
indicates,

Statistics Canada says only 2.8 per
cent of Canadian households have the
hand-held recorders and only 12.6
per cent have home computers. The
survey adds that the market for
home computers has changed little
since the mid-1980s.

Automobiles remain popular. More
than 50 per cent of households own a
car, truck or van. And Statistics
Canada has found that 23.8 per cent
of all households have a motor
vehicle, color TV, VCR and micro-
wave oven.

Not all provinces share the same
affluence, however. In Alberta, one
third of households have all of these
possessions, compared with one in 10

Mother's

By LAURIE SARKADI
Canadian Press

Grace was afraid to bring her friends home after
school for fear they would find her mother smoking
marijuana.

While the divorced mother and her daughter
now get along famously, the 17-year-old Monteal girl
grew up with a dislike for her mother’s illegal habit,
which she did not understand.

“When I was younger, I always thought it made
my mother kind of weird, It made me different so I
kind of resented it. When you're 10 years old your
friends don’t say ‘My parents do it too.’ ”

Grace, an eloquent straight-A student, says she
didn't realize at first that the smelly green weed,
which made her mother distant and inattentive, was
marijuana.

But she was embarrassed by it, enough to try to
hide the fact that Mom, a well-paid, respected
professional, liked to get stoned.

CONTEMPT DEEP

By the time she was old enough to figure out
what her mother was smoking, Grace — who like
others in this story spoke on condition their real
names not be used — had developed a deep-rooted
contempt for the drug.

“When I was 13 or 14, I'd get really mad at her.
and say, ‘You're stupid for doing this.’ I would act
like I was her mother.”

Grace had her first sampling of marijuana at a
party with friends earlier this year. She says she
didn't like it because it made her sleepy and she
doesn't plan to try it again.

But Grace's reaction to pot may be unusual for
her situation.

“If the parents are heavy users, the chances of
their children becoming chronic or heavy users are
high,” says Wes Slavik, a research assistant for the
Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission.

NUMBER UNKNOWN

No one has come up with even a rough estimate
of the number of Canadian parents who smoke
marijuana. The Addiction Research Foundation in
Toronto says the e is just too touchy.

“It's something we've always been interested in,

but it's difficult to get school boards to allow us to
ask those sensitive questions,” says research
scientist Ed Adlaf.

Ellen, a 26-year-old nurse in southwestern
Ontario, says she had been smoking pot for a couple
of years as a teenager before she discovered her
father was also indulging.

“The first time I saw it,” she recalls, “I was
going into his drawers to steal a pair of socks when I
saw a bag of pot. I just about died

“He used to lock himself in the bathroom and I

used to wonder why he would come out laughing. I
never thought in my wildest dreams that’s what he
was doing.”

ALL TOGETHER

Ellen broached the subject to her mother, and
before long smoking a “joint” in the house became as
acceptable as smoking cigarettes.”

“My parents have always been really’liberal,”
says Ellen,

She believed her 52-year-old father's penchant
for pot gave her special status among her teenage
freiends. It never embarrassed her.

“What embarrassed me was his drinking. He
can't separate alcohol from drugs, and he's a nasty
drunk.”

Ellen is about to have her first child. Although
she has not smoked marijuana during her pregnancy,
she says she won't try to hide her social smoking
from her children because she believes open and
honest relationships work best.

Marty has the same philosophy.

TEACHES SON

Nearly 40, the sports-minded r¢sident of central
Alberta is trying to teach his préschool son about
marijuana and why he smokes it.

“T've told him it's bad for your health — maybe. I
try to explain the temptation factor. I tell him I have
the same attraction to it as he has for candy.

“I think /he understands the health aspect and
I've also. told him the police/are against it.”

The Jaw treats marijyana and alcohol quite
differently.

In Alberta, for example, a conviction for illegal
possession of alcohol, such as an open bottle in a car,
results in a modest fine under provincial liquor
control laws. Possession of marijuana, on the other
hand, can lead to a permanent criminal record and
penalties ranging from a $100 fine to seven years in
prison.

TELL BOTH SIDES

Marty says he will try to give his son what he
sees as the positive and negative aspects of smoking
pot so the boy can decide. for himself about it when
he's older.

“I would never hide anything from him, because
those are the first signs of distrust and I don't ever
want to have any distrust between him and me.”

For Grace, coming to grips with her mother's
pot-smoking was a painful matter of time and
maturity.

“My mother and I are very close, we're good
friends,” says Grace.

“I think she knows how to handle it and when to
stop now. If I ever thought it came to a point when I
didn’t think she was handling it, I'd say something.”

Book teaches
kids about sex

REGINA (CP) Sue Johanson
talks about sex with 30,000 children a
year and doesn’t leave anything out
— her subjects range from men
struation and masturbation to birth
control.

Teenagers have a lot of questions,
and Johanson — a Toronto nurse,
grandmother and author of Talk Sex
— is ready to answer them.

But she told a recent meeting of
health educators in Regina she al
ways found it difficult to talk to her
three children about sex and she
sympathizes with every red-faced
parent who ever stammered out a
reply to their children's questions or
evaded them entirely.

“I talked af my daughters,” she
said. “I never talked about sexual
feelings. That was too private, too
personal.”

Johanson believes parents should
be the ones to tell their children
about sex. But’ from personal ex.
perience, she knows that fear, em-
barrassment and lack of informa
tion often get in the way.

Schools should bridge the gap with
sex education programs that tell
children what they want to know, not
what adults think they should know,
she told a conference sponsored by
the Saskatchewan Institute of Ap-
plied Science and Technology.

Winter brings on the blahs

EDMONTON (CP) — As the day
light hours get shorter and the
daytime highs get lower you may
want to crawl into bed with a box of
your favorite chocolates,

— show a surprising rebound in the
spring, sleeping less and becoming
energetic to the point where some
exhibit mild forms of manic behavior,
Lam says.

The V clinic has

Chances are you're just developing
a mild case of the “winter blahs,”
say two Canadian psychiatrists.

But if these symptoms — over.
tiredness, irritability and a craving
for carbohydrates — persist, you
might be facing a serious problem.

If those symptoms are accompan.
ied by severe depression that. ser.
jously hampers work performance
and personal relationships, you could
have a seasonal mood disaster.

Two clinics — one in Vancouver
and the other in Calgary — will
examine why some people experi
ence severe bouts of depression in
the winter, followed by euphoria in
the spring.

“We're not talking about people
who just feel a little down in the
winter,” says Dr. Ray Lam, a
University of British Columbia psy
chiatrist who heads the Vancouver
clinic.

“These are people who show signs
of being clinically depressed. Some
aren't able to work at all, while the
productivity of others falls to a very
low point.”

Usually, victims sleep two to three
hours longer than usual, are ex.
tremely moody, gain weight because
of a craving for carbohydrates and
sweets and have low energy,” he
says.

These people — who often describe
themselves as “slugs” in the winter

about 35 such people, and plans to
follow their behavior into the winter,
says Lam.

The $13,000 program plans to treat
the patients with light therapy,
which consists of a box of fluorescent
lights, he says.

The theory is that melatonin —a
hormone secreted during the night
that’s believed to affect people's
biological clocks — may be out of
whack 'in people suffering seasonal
mood disorders, Lam says.

Because researchers have found
levels of melatonin in animals can be
controlled through the use of light,
Lam says he plans to use fluorescent

the Black Sea resort of Odessa after

Mushroom eaters
now out of danger

and Teresa Ok Hui Duncan, 43, of ~ Certified General Accountant

PORTLAND, ORE. (AP) — Five
people who became seriously ill after
eating toxic mushrooms appear to be
out of danger, hospital officials said
Monday.

Four of the five underwent liver
transplants in Portland and San
Francisco.

“Tt still hasn't hit me,” Glenda
Sabolyk, 41, of Clackamas, Ore., said
in an interview from her bed in a San
Francisco hospital. “I can't believe
it’s happened to me.”

She and her boyfriend, Andy Clark
33, also of Clackamas, were reported
in good condition Monday. They were
recovering in adjacent rooms from
liver transplants.

CRANBROOK (CP) A 44-year.
old man has been fined $2,000 for
shooting and killing another hunter
he said he thought was an elk.

Alvin Shymkowich of Maple Ridge,
pleaded guilty Monday in provincial
court to a charge of criminal
negligence causing death and danger:
ous use of a firearm.

He was also prohibited from own.
ing firearms for five years.

Garnet Ginther, 48, was killed in
September 1984 while on a hunting
trip near Fernie in southeastern
British Columbia.

Portland, were upgraded to fair con
dition Monday from serious in a
Portland hospital.

The fifth victim of the so-called
death cap mushrooms, John Duncan,
Teresa Duncan's husband, was re-
covering. Doctors said he probably
will not need a new liver.

The mushrooms, picked in the
Columbia River Gorge in Clark
County, Washington, were served to
the five at a dinner party Oct. 22.

Sabolyk said she had never eaten
wild mushrooms before, but the pos.
sibility of being poisoned always had
worried her.

After a day of fishing for steelhead
and salmon, she said, she and Clark
decided to visit Clark's mother, Isun
Pak. There they learned that Pak,
her husband, Edwin Smith, and the
Duncans had spent the day collecting
chestnuts and had found a patch of
mushrooms.

The four had taken the mushrooms
to the Duncans’ Portland home and
prepared a stir-fry meal, after which
Pak had brought home some left-
overs. Smith had been called to work
and had not eaten.

“There was zucchini, green pep
pers, mushrooms — it really looked
good,” Sabolyk said. “We spooned
that over rice. Andy said he was
hungry, and he loved his mom's
cooking.”

Sabolyk said the dish tasted good
and there was no hint in the taste
that the mushrooms were of the
poisonous death cap variety.

Shortly after midnight, Pak began
to get ill, Clark started getting sick
about 5 a.m.
