Well-Women’s Clinic

In an early May edition of the Trail
Times, an article outlining the official inaug-
uration of British’ Columbia's frst ‘Well Wo-
man’s Clinic’ was announced. This organiza-
tion is being sponsored by the Trail Unit of
the Canadian Cancer Sociéty, its primary ob-
jective being to assure all women between the
ages:of. 20.and 70a yearly medical examina-

. tion. This would be in a concerted effort to
detect early cancer of the breast and repro-
ductive organs prior to the developments of
any, symptoms which might lead them to be-
lieve that something was wrong. This is in
the light that 10% of women develop cancer
ot these sites, and thot the nly hope of cure

tration and execution of the organization,
making the appointments with the patient's
doctor of choice and informing the patient
of abnormal findings when they occur, At the
request of the organization, Dr. Christie, Dr.
Krause and myself have acted in an advisory

capacity to present the medical aspects of| _

these various cancers and to answer ques-
tions pertaining-to: the:detection, “treatment,
etc. Members of the Cancer Society will be

Correspondence Education

Correspondence education has come of
age in the United States.

Official Government recognition of cor-
respondence — or home study — education
thas come with approval by the U.S. Office of
‘Education of the National Home Study Coun-
.cil as the “nationally recognized accrediting
.bedy" for this field of education.

The Government recognition now means
that to become accredited a correspondence
school must meet rigid requirements such as
proof of competent faculty, educationally
sound and up-to-date courses, admittance of
only qualified istudents, reasonable tuition
charges and truthful advertising of courses.

The U.S. action was hailed recently by
Glenn A. Oman, president of International

Mr. Oman said that while the develop-

ment will not have quite the same signifi-
scance in. Canada, “it will provide, a moral
guidepost for Canadian corespondence insti-
tutions to follow.”

“After all,” he added, “the United Stat-
es is not the only country where a small min-
ority of correspondence schools with question-
able standards and practices have caused
some suspicion and distrust of a vital and ex-
panding field of education.”

It is estimated that enrollment in cor-|

1S CBC NEWS BIASED? -

During the past few months criticism of
CBC news coverage has mounted. Newspaper
editors and columnists have been particularly

- critical. of what they considered to be. biased
reporting of the Budget and of the Newfound-
land affair, bam not suprised at these charges
of bias.

What has suprised me is that the daily
newspapers have finally awakenede to the
situation. For years, the weekly press pointed
out the dangers inherent in a government-
dominated, single-system broadcasting set-
up. Some years ago, the Canadian Weekly

on d before a
parliamentary inquiry committee and spelled
out in detail what Canadians might expect if
CBC wings were, not clipped. Daily papers,
very much aware of the promotional advan-
toge of having their news men appearing reg-
ularly on television, closed their eyes to the
obuses.

CBC has grown far too powerful, too ex-
travagant, too arrogant. They dislike criticism
and they are capable of taking punitive mea-
sures against journalists who criticize them —
by, excluding even'the best of the journalists
from radio or television networks.

Oh, they will, on very rare occasions, use
a journalist who has been critical of them or
the theories they seem to favour; but they use
him perhaps once or twice a year, merely

enough to give the Gppearance of impartial-
ity.

CBC's newscaster,’ Larry. Henderson, is
no doubt one of the very best on the con-
tinent — but | understand he is not allowed
to comment on the news, but. must read only
what is prepared for him. If the CBC film edi-
tors wish to slant a newscast, there is nothing
Henderson can do about it. It would be in-
teresting to know what this great newscaster
himself thinks about some of the material he
must present!

Certainly something will have to be done
about CBC soon, unless the new Board of
Broadcast Governors will get busy gqnd
straighten them out. Unfortunately, the Board
seems too timid to tackle the giant Corpora-
tion, It is much easier to quibble with private
broadcasters about how many seconds of

will be allowed, or how many
and what kind of recordings should be played.
Surely these matters are picayune compared

with the charges made on every hand against | .

the CBC,

Just the other day, one well-known col-|.

umnist, Patrick Nicholson, asked this ques-
tion: “Do we, the toxpayers, pay tens of mil-
lions of dolldrs a year to the radio: system
which we own, to.be brain-washed by having
only one viewpoint Presented to -us in ques-
tions of public concern?” In his opinion,, that
is just what we are doing! 5

wide variety of work on forest
management, research, and so
forth, to be viewed at a typical

forest administration a worth-

B.C. Automobile Association |

Appeals Holiday Moforists

The British Columbia Auto-
mobile Association reminds mot-
orists who are taking a holiday
that it is dangerous to attempt a
long trip in a short ‘time.

“Over a long weekend motor-
ists often plan to go farther than
they can safely manage,” says
Stan iS: R. Wicks, secretary of the

“When planning a week-
end aie motorists would be well
advised to allow time for coffee
stops and for meals, Also they
should allow’ plenty of time for
the heavy holiday traffic, It is
wise to judge the distance you

can safely’ travel in a day by a
reasonable speed per hour,’ ad-
vised Mr, Wicks,

-The motorist who is in a big

hurry takes chances on the high- }

way, warns the BCAA. A hurry-
Ing motorist is inclinéd to pass
when he should walt; he does not

slow down for curves and he is

generally a hazard to the more
careful drivers,

“The BCAA suggests to mot-
orista” says Mr. Wicks "that they

plan on a holiday week-end to see { :

more by driving at reasonable
speeds and to avoid attempting
@ long trip in a short time.”

living within your income and liking it.

Spring flowers, after the barrenness of
winter, are especially delightful! What a glor-
‘ous display of beauty, color and form they
present! Each seems to vie with the others in
attaining these riches. Disoppointingly short
is the lifa of each bloom.

God likens man to the flower! “He com-
eth forth like a flower and is cut down” :(Job
14:2). “For the sun is no sooner risen with a
burning heat, but4t withereth the grass, and .
the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of
it perisheth. so also, shall the rich fade away

+ in his pursuits.” (James 1).

We may, in this land. of plenty, array
ourselves with many bounties. You may en-
hance life with a luxurious home, a beautiful *
car, every modern comfort and great riches.
Lifé may be spent providing material bene-.
fits and an advancéd education for the fam-

ily. Life, like the flower, is soon over and if we
have gained only glories that we and. our
families . must ‘leave behind, how tragically
sad. If we neglect our spiritual needs in pro-
viding the material; if-we are hindered from
gaining eternal treasures; if we fail to point
our family to Eternal Salvation, and teach
them of “riches in Glory", how exceedingly
foolish! ~

Oh; may we all “seék. first the Kingdom
of God ‘and His righteousness,” — Eternal
Li through faith in the Saviour, Jesus
Christ; spiritual blessing for our soul and en-
during etemal treosure in Heaven. Then as
life soon fades, we, shall not be.destitute be-
fore God, and lost in Eternal Judgement. It is
possible, even for those wk» are-redeemed by
faith in the Saviour, to neglect timeless treas-
ures, while gaining only the treasures .of
