Dependence on Liquor
Is Sign of Alcoholic

What is the difference
between an alcoholic’s drink-
ing and other people's drink-
ing? It is a aditference in
reasons for drinking, says the
publication, ‘ Alcoholism ”
produced by the federal

ealth department.

upon alcohol as a symbol of
Hospitality and good fellow-

WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT? The kids find it hard to figure
out, but it’s a tame lizard which Bob Marshall of the Van-
couver public aquarium takes for a daily stroll. The five-
foot-long water monitor from Southeast Asia appears fero-
cious but is not aggressive. Looks on the faces of some of
| the children, however, indicate a greater degree of interest

than of fear. The curiosity ‘of children for animals of all
types—whether they walk, crawl, swim or fly—is one of
the most constant factors in humanity. Like death and
taxes, the curiosity of children is “always with us.” Aquar-
ium officials keep the water monitor well fed on his favor-
ite meal of chicken heads, horseheart meat and raw eggs.

A research team operat-
ing from Trail this summer
is collecting ticks and small
game animals in search of
viruses, West Kootenay med-
ical health officer Dr. Nick
Schmitt said.

Dr. Schmitt was report-
ing to a meeting here of the
West Kootenay Union Board
of Health.

Held approximately every
three months, the meetings
are in a different location
each time, in order to allow
all personnel to be as familiar

possible ith all areas
within the health unit.

He said a collaborative
study in B.C. involving the

the laboratory facilities and
perhaps we shall find some
new diseases.”

Dr. Schmitt reported four
cases of gonorrhoea and two
cases of non-infectious syp-
hilis in the past three months.

“There is very little ven-
ereal disease in the area, but
this has always been a ‘low
area and it is certuinly not
endemic,” he said.

The doctor said word had
been received from the chicf
of emergency health services
in Ottawa that he was pre-

pared to allocate an advanced

area from the federal reserve
