We had people come in who did not stop and eat but were still on the track for 11 hours. We're seeking legal clarification on whether the board expects us to go 11 hours without a meal and if they do then we'll go to our legal counsel and try to overturn it, “There's no doubt in my mind that the crews will only keep going 11 hours without a meal for a certain amount of time.” Cc said that last two-days and told our the board report does not Wilderness area tough one to log NELSON (CP) °—. Log. ging may be more difficult than anyone expected in thé proposed Valhalla wilderness area in southeastern B.C., . forest service researchers said Tuesday. - An insect and disease survey crew recently found root rot in trees on the west shore of Slocan Lake, said noted iér its vast stretches of. bad said engineers! oars virgin timber. In a news release issued before the survey, the forest service estimated the amount of productive timber to be less than 20 per cent of the 50-000-hectare park proposal. The same release said the forest service would pub- lish a report on its timber by mid-Decemb- Reiner A » resource officer for the Arrow! Forest District. In two key areas of the proposed wilderness area, Wee Sandy and Nemo Creek, Augustine’ said it could be “touch going and fairly ex- - pensive" to log. If, the wilderness prop- osal goes through, logging would not be permitted. Main Opponent to the proposal is Slocan Forest Co. which says it will have to cut employ- ment if it cannot log the area, er, so that the provincial cabinet’s environment and land use committee - could make a decision on the park proposal. Augustine said that re- port will not be as compre- hensive as we had hoped. He said the forest ser- vice wants to take an over- view of the entire’ Slocan Valley and ‘join other gov- ernment resources agencies which will soon begin’a com- prehensive planning study of the area. F B.C. women best ‘figures in Canada WRITTEN FOR CP By AUSTIN RAND Women in British Col- umbia have the best figures in Canada, according to a study done by Dr. Maurice Jette of the University of Ot- tawa, Jette obtained informa- tion on 3,631 women and 6,213 men ranging in age from 20-to 59 across Canada and compared the people by region. Women from British Col- umbia and Quebec had the lowest average weight, while those from the Atlantic prov- inces weighed the most. B.C. women showed the greatest contrast. between bust and waist measurements, follow- ed by Ontario women. The © B.C. lead was particularly marked for women in their 20s and-30s. When women in -their 20s were compared, with those in their 40s and .50s, Jette found those from Que- bec and the Atlantic’ prov- inces had added the most weight. Men weighed about the same in all regions except Quebec, where men in their 30s and 40s were lighter. Ontario men showed the greatest weight gain as they grew older while men from Quebec ‘and the Atlantic, provinces gained the least. Prairie men, followed by those from B.C., had the greatest difference between chest and waist measure- ments. state how long crews are ex- pected to work without a hot meal, save togpfer to a’mem- orandum signe@ by both the company and, unions — that says crews "Sil take trains nals without easonable cir- He said his union, along * with the Brotherhood of Lo: comotive Engineers, want the board to define what is a reasonable amount of time to work without a hot meal.

CREWS ANGERED The Revelstoke crews were incensed when Cana- dian representatives of. the two unions appeared at the recent CLRB hearings into the dispute and publicly dis- . sociated themselves from the actions of the two locals. “They wouldn't get in- volved,” said Burns. “They feel we're the rebels. That's been their: ‘feelings about ” crews in Western Canada for a long time.’ Members of both the BLE and the UTU have dis- cussed breaking away from their internationals in order to join other unions such as the Teamsters, .

Cant DRESDEN (REUTEB) — An East German scientist who helped pioneer __ tele- vision and build the Russiati atom bomb says he has found a means of slowing down the { process of ageing. _ Baron Manfred von Ar- denne makes no claim to have found the secret of eternal youth, But the professor's oxy- ‘4 gen therapy has, he said, raised the: vitality of the el- . derly andr, sharply reduced age-1 -related ailments, It was: developed “only three years ago and already more thar'50 European clin- ics have tested'the treatment and endorsed its: In‘ ati"interview: at his private research institute in Dresden, “ the ‘73-year-old baron said* ‘the three-stage therapy réVersed the gradual deteriordtidn ‘in the oxygen, supply ‘to the organs as people age,.the basic cause of many fatal illnesses, - “It retur levels normally | found only in the young and what is more, the improvement can last for years,” he said. The treatment raises the so-called ,partial pressure of oxygen‘; Nih arterial blood (abbreviated at p02); which is s the supply to . the. amount of enorgy. tho. oxygen receives from ihe lungs. . i “The gradual decrease in p02 levels as we. get older’ was’always thought to be in- evitable,” he said.’ “But. in. 1977, I was carrying out tests, on. myself and ‘found I'd raised the,level to that of a man in his 20s.

They had simply never been com- bined before,” Von Ardenne ~ said. Birth room looks just like home * MONTREAL (CP) — It’s «just like home, with a table lamp softly lighting the hang- ing plants in the wallpapered room. But it isn't home. The room is located across the hall from the ob- stetrical intensive care unit and down the hall from the new-born intensive tare’ unit of the Jewish General Hos- it's the special birth room and the, hospital's an- swer to home births, which many doctors consider dan- gerous, The birth room — complete with a big brass double bed — is designed to. provide all.the comforts of --home delivery without its isks. It's also a way to make couples feel that they, not the doctor, are in control of the rth, ‘i “The birth room is ;pot justa physical setting — it’s an attitude,’ says Valmal El- kins, a physical therapist, director of childbirth edu- cation classes at the hospital and designer of the. room. The effectiveness of the birth room — the first of its kind in a Montreal teaching hospital — is being evaluated in a study headed by Dr. Michael Klein. About 60 births have taken place in it ioe it opened earlier this ar, “The .woman's control over her own labor is poten- tially greater in the birth room,” says Kelin. "We think that's important.” Klein says studies show. anxiety is correlated with slower labor and consequfent- . ly more complications. There is also evidence to show that stress leads to a decreased blood flow to thé uterus and the baby. Feeling in contro} is de- sirable. We think the strange, sterile, stainless steel typical delivery area prom- otes anxiety; and. stress.” ~-The-binth-room is:really - a suite. It has an early’ labor lounge furnished with a cosy couch and rocking chair, cof- fee table, carpet, plants and brightly colored lights. The lounge can accommodate up to four people — friends and relatives can be on hand at the request of the couple. The mother occupies the birth room throughout her labor and delivery and has an hour with her new. baby there before being moved back to her room. Normally, she would start out in the labor room, be moved to the caseroom for delivery, then back to the recovery room and finally to her own room. environment of the, _ in the of organs and tissues,. hi added.
