( Sento os » Thursday, June Instruction in public schools on birth con- tro! as well as the anatomical principles of human reproduction is still an inexhaustible source of controversy in many North American While pr of such instruction stress the importance of such programs amid growing incidences of premarital sex and teenage pregnancies, opponents cite the right of parents to instill in their children their own religious and moral values, and they contend such instruc- tion will encourage students to indulge in sex.

SUNE 12 RESULTS: A newly-released royal commission report's recommendation that B.C.’s MLAs get a $3,000 yearly salary increase plus a hike in tax-free expense allowances received 100-per-cent opposition in readers’ batlots. "They should get $1,155 more which would give them $9 per hour based on a stan- dard work year of 1,950 hours,” wrote one reader, “We have to live on pensions and pay the high prices,” another said, “I have never witnessed any employee receiving an increase of $1,000," wrote yet another. reader. “It's always in pennies, They deserve what we get and no more.

June 26, Cowboys Become Fashion Conscious Nowadays even Wester- ners dress like dudes. Department stores and specialty shops in Edmonton are cashing in on a Western fashion boom that has oil exec- utives wearing Stetsons and real ranch hands becoming particular about what they'll wear, “Jeans must be tight, shirts very flashy and boots extremely pointy if you want to look right,” says Betty Stonier, -manager of the Clover Bar Saddlery and Cattle Co. That’s in line with the real cowboy's tastes, she said in an interview. Hats have always been a big item. Once used for every- thing from windbreak to water dipper, they are becoming an - object of some snobbery. “Serious cowboys wouldn't be caught dead wearing any- thing worth less than $30,” says Bert Wort, manager of Crocs Western wear shop. Silver-belly grey is this season's big color. Topping all the toppers is the $400 fur-lined Resistol that goes by the name Touch of Mink. “We've actually sold eight or nine in the last year,” says Wort. Boots also are hot items, especially in Alberta. The Can Am Market As- sociation's 1977 survey showed that about 80 per cent of all cowboy boots sold in Canada three weeks of breaking in a new pair. Asking about the color of jeans is gauche. “Real cowboys never ask if they fade,” says Wort. ‘Bionic Teeth’ Becoming More Popular Bionic teeth may soon be available for those people who want a set of falsies which stay tight for years. Implantology is an emerg- ing dental specialty that invol- ves grafting or inserting artifi- cial dentures directly into the jaw, instead of hitching them to existing teeth or fitting a dental plate to sit on the gums. Commonly called “bionic teeth,” these implants are attached to posts that rise from the jawbone and in most instances are inserted in the bone itself. This revolutionary set of “choppers” is being hailed as the new bite of the future for millions of people who annually lose their own teeth. Yet, opponents of fonplants ology have several vatid icisms of this reiatively fe branch of dentistry. In the first place, they claim that the process of anchoring teeth to posts in the were bought by Alb The cheapest plain leather stompers go for $19.95 at several local department stores but big-name brands cost $50 to $150. “They are durable, comfor- table and good looking,” says Peter Porayko, owner of The Westerner boot shop. : But buyers should beware of. the blistered heels which may result from the two to jaw is far They also claim there is not enough evidence to prove the jawbones will not break down under pressure or that the implants can be sealed tight enough to keep bacteria out. Despite these criticisms, 30,000 implants are being per- formed in the U.S. each year and 6,000 dentists in that country have done the proce- dure one or more times. Archeological Remnants Pique Human Curiosity Mormon Release Relics of antiquity have always been a curiosity for man, Recently, the artifacts of ancient Egypt were. displayed in an exhibition in Seattle, Wash, The media broadcast the news that the exhibition was coming, long before the first statuette was laid out, or the gold sarcophagus of Tutankah- man was positioned, Anticipation grew until the actual fair arrived and thous- ands of people flocked to view the display of man-made ob- jects over 3,000 years old. The tomb of Tutankahman is only one example of many such displays the world over. Recently, a display of ancient Mayan art was held in Van- couver.

Prior to this, no one could translate these mysteri- ous writings; and so, specula- tion Mourished. The Rosetta stone was inscribed with the same account in three languages, one of which was Egyptian, written in hieroglyphs. This stone was the key to the whole story of Egypt. Now, not only could the artifacts be viewed, but the thoughts and intents of the Egyptian people who created them could be known, The mystics were disap- pointed, the ignorant didn't know, but for the most part, the educated rejoiced at the thought of new (old) worlds of thought to be explored. Egypt could be studied from within; that is, within the hearts of the people that built her; and perhaps the reason for the demise of Egypt would then be known, Setting the pattern for all civilizations that followed; the Kingdom of the Pharaohs grew to magnificence, and then died _ from within, There have been other great ‘civilizations: Summeria, Assyria, Bubylon, Greece, Rome, Palestine, and recently the heretofore unknown Ebla civilization of Syria, ‘America has had it’s great, cultures too: the Olmecs, Az- tecs, Incas, and Mayas, and many others. These, too, rose and fell, leaving ruins, relics, and even records. Unfortu- nately, there has been no American “Rosetta Stone”, and consequently, the writings of ancient America remain a my- stery. Even though there has been no Rosetta stone; there . was however, one record trans- lated from the ancient Ameri- can sources and published.

EGGS —- Select them by grade, depending on the use you plan for them. Grade A eggs are excellent for all purposes and especially for frying and poaching. Less expensive Grade B: eggs are good for- general cooking use and for baking. In addition to grade, select eggs by size. Jumbo. eggs weigh at least 30 ounces per Speen. Extra Large eggs weigh at least 27 ounces, Large eggs weigh 24 oun- ces. Medium eggs weigh 21 ounces. When the larger size eggs cost seven to 10 cents a dozen more, you still save money buying them. Color of the eggs is deter- mined by the breed of the hen and has nothing to do with quality, Buy the cheaper eggs —— whether brown or white — in the same grade. There are two smaller size eggs — small, which weigh 18 ounces per dozen, and Peewee, which weigh 15 ounces, * MILK — Skim milk and low fat milk are cheaper than milk or cream. One way to save on milk is to buy nonfat’ dry milk;—-it_ does not require refrigeration and can be stored safely for severa} months if-you keep it in a coo) dry place. Nonfat dry milk has half the calories of whole milk and the same nutritive value as fresh skim milk. It can be used for drinking and in cooking. A family of four using 21 quarts of whole regular milk each week can save $3 by using nonfat dry milk instead. Evaporated milk: is less expensive than whole milk. An inexpensive infant formula can be made from equal parts of water and evaporated milk. The same mixture can be used instead of regular milk in recipes, in coffee, or on cereals, The nutritive value of evaporated milk, when mixed equally with water, is about the same as for whole milk. Study recipes and learn to make your own buttermilk, yogurt and whipped topping — using the cheaper nonfat dry milk. 7 is sold kal pound and quarter- pound packages. Check the price. If the larger package is less expensive, buy it and , Store part in your freezer until you plan to use it. ICE CREAM— Expensive fee creams have pure and expensive ingredients. Less . expensive ones have “synthe- tic” ingredients, but they are all government-tested and must meet strict standards. If the less expensive ice creams taste good to your family, buy them. Read the ingredient labels on all ice cream. CHEESES — There is a wide variety of cheese and cheese products. Read labels carefully to know what you are buying. One type of cinase product, is labelled “cheese food,” an- other “cheese spread.” Natural cheeses are labelled by their variety — for example, “Ched- dar cheese, Swiss cheese or blue cheese.” Unripened cheese, such as cottage cheese, do not last long. Buy only what you: can use quickly. Ripened cheese, such as bluo cheese or Camembert, last longer. Always check the “cure” of a cheese. Standard cures are mild, medium, aged and sharp. What you buy depends on your’ family's taste. . Many stores put cheeses on sale. Check ads and take advantage of good buys, Cheeses are graded A, for quality, and AA, which is the highest quality. og NZ; SELKIRK COLLEGE VOCATIONAL DIVISION NELSON, B.C.
