They may enter through a cut in the skin and they may be sexually transmitted. Bacteria, which are larger, cause infections by making chemicals that destroy the cell. Viruses, on the other hand go into the cell itself and damage it that way. There are many types of bacteria and viruses around, but only a few cause disease. Most of the time the bodiés defense system (the immune sys- tem), willl attack the invading bacte- ria before they can cause disease. But sometimes the bacteria win and our bodies suffer from an infection. When children receive their shots, a small amount of the virus or bacteria is injected into the skin. The immune system can then make a fighter protein (an antibody) to fight this invader. The ability to make that specific antibody remains for life.

Sometimes there is a drug (an antibiotic) that can kill the bacteria sooner. But each dif- ferent antibiotic is only active against a few of the many bacte- ria. So you could be given differ- ent antibiotics for different infections. Because most viruses get right inside the cell, it is hard- er to make an antibiotic to kill just the virus without killing the cell as well. Then we have to rely on the body's-own immune system. All we can do is treat the discomfort that the infection causes. This is why antibiotics cannot be used to treat the common cold.

Or readers Easter 'neath the Southern Most of us are fed up with win- ter, after what has been an unusu ally long, cold and snowy one. We look forward to Easter as the beginning of Spring and warmer days to come. In other parts of the world, winter is no less disliked, though it may be warmer and shorter compared to ours. In Aus- tralia, for instance, particularly in the southern cooler part, tempera- tures in July and August can reach zero degrees. We awoke one early July morning to discover a frost- ing of snow on the ground and a good coating on the surrounding ranges. You can be very cold at zero degrees when the winter winds whirl right through the bricks and motar, as Australian homes are not insulated and, unlike Canada, there is no central heating! Easter in the Southern Hemisphere heralds winter and Easter Week is usually the last warm holiday, much like our Labor Day. After a cool wet Australian sum- mer that promised a sunnier, drier autumn, we joined friends and their two teenagers for an Easter Week | holiday on a houseboat on Lake Eildon, in Eildon State Park. This large, fresh water reservoir is in southeastern Victoria Stare, between the Royston and Blue Mountain ranges, among other mountain ranges. It is just-one of the many lake holiday areas close to Melbourne, about 120 kilome- tres to the northeast of the city. We are accustomed to ocean sailing, with all the vagaries of wind and sail, the necessary con- trol over tanks of fresh water, and the care of gas and other fuel tanks. The houseboat seemed utterly luxurious and decadent by comparison, with its spacious rooms and decks, full headroom in the cabins, and powered by enor- mous twin outboard motors with capacious, hidden fuel tanks. We arrived in the late evening and set about to load food and drink, clothing and windsurfers, and all the play and fishing gear. By the time cabins had been assigned and everyone was settled, dusk had armved so we prudently decided to stay for at the marina for the night, study the charts, and head out into the large waterway system in the moming. Having declared the sun well over the yardarm, we-sat on the foredeck in the gathering dusk, drinks in hand, enjoying the scenery, the company and the con versation, as shadows crept across the darkening bay A young couple arrived, with the marina attendant, boarded the houseboat tied next to us and went about getting organized. Our con- versations ceased as it became apparent the attendant was giving the couple very detailed instruc- WZ The Castiégar Sun aN Excellence in Service Award This award will be presented every week to someone in Castlegar who shows extraordinary service to his/her customers or clients.

His voice rose in volume and exasperation as he explained all the many details of how to Operate a houseboat. Obviously the couple had never run’a house boat before. Finally the attendant was satisfied he had done his duty Elma Maund and stated to leave. In the gather ing gloom the young man's shout broke the stillness, “Oy! What do we do if we run out of water?" There was a long, silent pause Night birds twittered in the gums along the shore. The attendant looked at us, folled his eyes upward and shouted back “Well, you'll just have to walk home, won't you!" Whereupon he stomped off up the ramp. We collapsed into muted laugh- ter. We were learning to appreciate the Australian wit. The young couple were not about to run out of water with millions of gallons of fresh water in the lake. In spite of efforts to stifle our laughter we could not stop. The young man promptly fired up the two power- ful engines and motored out of the marina at full throttle. We all shook our heads. There went dis- aster. In a few minutes they had disappeared into the darkness of the bay. All week long the kids kept an eye open for the young couple, fully expecting to fin them marooned on a beach. We spent the long sunny days motoring among the many bays and inlets, windsurfing when the winds coop- erated. We spent endless hours fishing for redfin, watching the ripples as they rose, but never hav ing so much as a strike. We never did find the right bait. At night, we nosed into the clay shore, strung lines fore and aft to the many gums on the shoreline, dropped the gangplank and explored t ashore. We built bonfires on the beach, and watched the occasional satellite twinkle in orbit. The night skies seemed blanketed with many more stars in the clear clean ‘coun: try air, so that we could easily spot the southern cross. We went to sleep to the quarrel of nesting kookaburras, and the fort plop! plop! of the elusive rising redfin. We never did see the young cou- VISION 20/.
