CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, July 1 1917

SHIRLEY POSTNIKOFF
Provided parents can
keep their sanity, those long
hot days on the beach can be
quite entertaining for both
the kids and their owners.
One thing which was
quite discouraging was find-
ing I couldn't read anything
too intelligent. I spent the
entire day concentrating on
the same page. If one child
isn't dropping popsicle sticks
on your back the other flings
a dead fish in front of you
and asks if Mom will cook it
for supper. So after 30 inter-
ruptions you decide next
time to bring,a catalogue.
Popsicles or ice cream
cones on the beach usually
prove to be a disaster, un-
less you are prepared to
replace ice cream which al-

There will inevitably be the
other parents who give you
dirty looks because ‘now
their kids want one too.
People who aren't quite as
generous tend to get a little
irate at the ones who are,

Another thing I've
learned is to remain calm

ways falls off into the dirt. -

— Coping Badly

when your child decides to
show you his new swimming
strokes, Otherwise your
thoughts will give you a
heart attack when he is sub-
merged in the water, but at
least you don’t have to shout
encouragements when he's
beneath the surface.

Have you noticed what
big mouths kids seem to ac-
quire when they are out in
public? For if

thing but are afraid to,
There was a lady from Al-
berta who arrived the same
day as we did and was so
white she looked ill,

Two minutes later, she
Appeared on the beach as
brown asa coconut. My little
girl remarked in a cherubic
voice: “Mommy look at that
lady, she changed her skin!”
This was exactly what I was
thinki

someone looks a little
strange, your child is always
quick to point it out and
usually at the top of their
lungs: "Mommy, is that a
man or a woman?" or
“Mommy I'll bet that lady
had lots of babies, look at all
those funny wrinkles on her
tummy!”

Of course, you can al-
ways keep a cookie or a
weiner to stuff into their
mouths before these things
happen. However when you

* have three children with six
eyes, I've found that it costs
a fortune to keep them
quiet.

At times they come in
quite handy, especially when
you are dying to say some-

after I
had been burnt to a frazzle °
trying td get a good tan.
There always seems to
be parents who are too lazy
to escort their kids to the
bathroom and find it more
convenient to tell them to go
in the water or in their .
sandbuckets. A child will
pipe up and say: “Mom, how
gross, the bathroom is right
there". My thoughts exactly.

I guess in a way the in-
nocence of children and their
manner of coming to the
point seems to be sadly lost
somewhere between adoles-
cence and adulthood. But,
when I get my hands on that
fittle waif who said J looked
30 years old, so help me...

Medical Knowledge—Over the Phone

Many people’ have ques-

: tions in medical areas that they

either do not wish to ask their
doctor, or which they feel
would take too much of his time ©
to answer.

‘These are two reasons for

: the beginning of the first Cana-

dian health information tele-
phone tape library, according to

.Tegional representative J. D.

Blake.

Started in Victoria by the
Health Education Centre at
3019 Shakespear St., the phone-
in plan involves over 150 three

to six minute information tapes
which are played to the caller
over the telephone.

Each tape answers one or
more typical questions on
home, health, or’ family pro-
blems. The Victoria centre has
five phone-in lines.

The Vancouver Centre
started’in November and now
has 18 lines for the Greater
Vancouver area. There are cur-

rently two toll-free numbers for.

the rest of B.C. The cost‘ of
toll-free numbers is high, Blake
said, but as long as public and

private and group donations to
the program continue to hold
up the cost, the toll-free lines
can continue on a non-profit
basis.

The operators of the Van-
couver centre all are volunteers
and donate their time on the
phones, which are open 11
hours a day from 10 a.m. to 9
p.m. every day except Satur-
day. -

How does the system
work? The caller who dials the
number with an “800" digit
combination, has to give the

operator » but is not
“charged for the call, Blake said.
The centre operator then
answers and asks what tape the
caller wishes to hear. She then
places the tape in the electronic
machine and it is played to the
caller over the phone. The
machine’ can handle up to 20
calls or 20 tapes at one time.
Is the medical information
reliable? Most of the informa-
tion has been compiled from the
National Health journal '“Life
and Health”. It was prepared
for recording by the Health
Education Centre Director
Ron Whitney, who has his
master of arts degree in public
health education from Loma
Linda University. The medical

Such topics as “Convul-

“Venereal Disease”, “The Five

Blake said the reason the
toll-free number is not printed
in the newspaper in this area is

to sort out the serious callers .

from ‘those -who" ‘might only
have a casual interest. Callers
who receive the number and
the list of .topics, may call
whenever necessary—as long
as sufficient funds continue to
come in to maintain the toll-free

motoreycle: rider is. mature,
responsible and courteous,
motorists will welcome you on
the highways.

Remember—the most slip-
pery and hazardous portion of
any paved road is the painted

.toad lines. This is true even —

when the road is dry.

It should be emphasized
that the front brake is the most
effective on a motorcycle but it
should be snubbed rather than
a straight hard pull on slippery
surfaces.

One of the reasons that so .

many riders fall off’ with no
apparent reason is that they
allow the passenger to sit too
far back. Passengers should sit
as close as possible to, the
driver, otherwise the driver
has a real control problem.

CanCel Files
Damage Suit
Against Hydro

CanCel became involved in
acourt battle last Tuesday with
B.C. Hydro and Power Author-
ity involving navigation on the
Columbia River.

The cellulose company, in a
writ filed in B.C. Supreme
Court, is claiming damages
from Hydro for “breach of com-
mon law and statutory duty in
interfering with the free right
of navigation on the Columbia
River.”

CanCel is seeking damages
to cover the cost of trucking
operations needed when water
levels along the Mica Dam sys-
tem dropped too low to enable
logs to be floated down-stream.

The company contends"
that Hydro’s manipulation of
water levels at the Mica Dam
constituted interference with
navigation rights. -

The writ was filed by C. &.
Locke, counsel for CanCel.
