We quote excerpts from the letter to Premier Bill Bennett: “This public: library is suffering from claustrophobia and efforts to find funding for a new and adequate building have come to naught. Th library is the main source of printed information available in this city. “Learning has become a lifelong process and citizens use libraries to keep informed ° on current issues of concern and to help them raise their families.

But psychiat- rists say the word “neurosis” is now so imprecisely used as to be meaningless. THE TERM MAY HAVE been meaningless: to psychiat- rists, perhaps; but was handy to laymen who suspect psy- chiatrists have lost reality in their attempts to be exact. Laymen,’ for example, know that some people are “nuts” and “bananas.” Those with extreme symptoms, but who happen to have a cuteness about them, are “whack-o.” The quiet ones are “spaced out." Psychiatrists rarely admit erazy people are “plain crazy,” PRETTY SOON NOBODY will be officially neurotic. But the public will know. The public even knew when Dr. Freud was “out of it."

When throwing, grip the ball across the seams and throw directly overhand. Rotate your body and push off your right leg (if you're a right-harid thrower) to get your body into the pitch. ‘This week, I’ would like to discuss a few batting tips. Most important is to select a.bat which feels comfortable, and is not too heavy or too long. vfs Grip the bat in your fingers so that when you place it on your shoulder your knuckles on the middle part of your fingers are lined up with both hands. Batting stance should have your feet about shoulder-width apart and slightly-flexed knees. When preparing to hit the ball, cock the bat back slightly, take a short stride of about six inches and take a level swing. Watch the ball meet the bat and hit it with . authority. In order to improve your batting, try the “soft toss” or the “net drill”. This drill involves simply having a partner tossing a ball for the batter to bat into the net. In order to-improve your batting you must swing a bat every day. Another way to practise is to hit fly balls or ground balls toa. friend. The more you swing the bat, the better batter you will become. 5 New. Kokanee Limits : _ For Kootenay Lake The Fish. and.

Herb Willi Boating Quiz: Which of the following are the more impor- tant causes of boating col- _lisions? e Boater inexperience; e Reckless or negligent operation; - Lack of boating know: — ledge; Hi ‘i e Lack of knowledge of the water being cruised; @ Noise; @ Daytime glare; eo Fatigue; e Shock-vibration; e Alcohol. Answer: If you picked the last five, you were closer to the truth than ‘if you picked the first four. In the past, boating safety people have blamed such things as inexperience of one kind or another, along with negligence, for boating col- lisions. Recent . in-depth - studies, however, have shown that these other things, called “en- vironmental stresses”, are the real culprits. Each of these five factors euts down our alertness, It.was:- shown in tests,. for instance, that as fatigue .increages, a - boater tends to quit scanning the waters ahead and to each side and starts staring at such things as boats or even floating ’ debris. Thus, a’ weary boater, skimming across the water at 25 knots at the end of a day, anxious to get back to the dock, . would. fail to react quickly enough when. on ‘a collision course. : ._In- one’ series. of . tests, boaters faced'a flashing light display which: simulated boats moving across their vision. When one of the lights became stationary, which indicated a collision course, the operator pushed a button, which indi- eated the hazard was recog- nized. The reaction time in push- ing the button was cut down by each of the stressors mentioned here. If you analyse your own boating experience, you'll agree that at least three: of these stressors are part of every boating trip. Sometimes all five are there. They are insidious, in that they creep up on us and at first we aren't aware that our reaction time is cut down. When we really get tired, we know it and. become more cautious. But it’s the early stages of réduced alertness, when’ we..don’t realize our reaction time has slowed, that are the most dangerous. »Since . collision «accidents are linked with boater operator - errors 65 to 90 per cent of the time, being aware of what these stressors can do to us can help us prevent collisions: VITAL SUPPORT More than 90 per cent of the chartered /hanks™. busi- ~ ness loans aré to small busi- zing less than Mid-Week Mirror are both published by the Castile Ni Lid.
