Long-Distance Runners Aged 8 to 50

Organized in conjunction
with the Castlegar Sunflower
Fest to promote fitness, this
year's Sunflower Run was a
great success.

Taking place at 9:15 Satur-
day the run attracted 70 run-
ners of all ages and 66 of the
entrants finished to receive a
Sunflower Run certificate.

Ages of runners in the
event ranged from well over 50
down to eight years. Some of
the contestants were seasoned
long-distance runners while
others were just out for the
walk,

Entrants came from all
over the West Kootenays as
well as some from different
parts of the province.

Does wife insurance make

This year's winners in both
the men's and women's cate-
gories were repeat winners
from last year.

Richard Hanna from Stew-
art, B.C. again won the men's
event but shattered his time
from last year by nearly two
minutes, His new record time
for this year was 22 minutes, 47
seconds for the seven-kilometre
run.

Second place went to Al
Fisher, a 48-year-old runner
from Vancouver, with a time of
23 minutes, 12 seconds. Roger
Pratt of Nelson was third in 24
minutes, two seconds.

Cut Shopping Trips,
Plan Farther Ahead

Any of the following tips
should help you save money,
but you'll get the best results if
you adopt them all as part of
your shopping Strategy.

The more often you go'to
the supermarket the more
you'll spend, so try to keep your
trips to a minimum. Plan your
menus as far ahead as possible,
and make up a shopping list
with the aid of the grocery. ads
in the paper. in

Eat before you go’shop:
ping. When you're hungry,
everything looks delicious,
even stuff you mightn’t ordi-
narily give a second look.

Once you get to the store,
stick to your list. It's probably
best to go alone; that way you
won't have to resist the en-
treaties of children or others
for expensive goodies you
didn’t plan to get.

Compare prices and read.

labels. A couple of cents dif-
ference between brands can
add up quickly, and the labels
will give you valuable informa-
tion on the composition, qual-
ity, and amount of product
you're getting.

When you're buying
graded products, you'll find the
lower grades are cheaper.
Canned fruit, for example,
comes in three grades: Canada
Fancy, Canada Choice, and
Canada Standard. You might
buy Canada Fancy if you're
serving the fruit by itself, but
either of the other two grades
would be fine for puddings or
desserts in which fruit is only
one of the ingredients,

What you save by careful
selection you could lose at the
cash register unless you pay
close attention to what's rung
up. Cashiers are only human,
and rapidly changing specials
can cause a harried cashier to
ring up the wrong price. Stand
where you can sce the prices
being rung up, or ask the
cashier to call the prices back to
you.

Mineral Prices Up

You're Worth More

- Thanks to inflation, you're.
now worth 5 times more than
you were just a few years ago.
Literally, that is.

The calcium, magnesium,
iron and other chemicals in
your body were worth 98 cents
in the early part of this decade,
Now they're worth $5.60, ac-
cording to Harry Monsen, pro-
fessor of anatomy at Illinois
College of Medicine.

Most of the human body is
water. In a 160-pound person,

there are about five pounds of
calcium, one-and-a-half pounds
of phosphate, about nine ounces
of potassium, a little more than
six ounced each of sulphur and
sodium, a little more than an
ounce of magnesium and less
than an ounce each of iron,
copper and iodine.

“When people were told
they were worth only 98 cents
they were shocked,” Monsen
said. “They feel better knowing
they are worth $5.60.”

Equals 14 Sticks. of Dynamite

Spare Gas a Potential Bomb

Running short of gas can,

be less hazardous than storing a

spare gallon of it in your car'*

trunk, warns the B.C. Aute-
mobile Association.

If that spare can ignites,
the blast will be equivalent to
14 sticks of. dynamite explod-
ing.

It takes only a tiny spark
from a small spark plug to

ignite the fuel mixture inside a
combustion chamber of an auto
engine. Even the heat from the
nearby cigarette is enough to
ignite gas vapors. Few fires are
more hazardous and difficult to
deal with than gasoline fires.
Spare cans are dangerous
containers because they are
unvented and expanding
vapors can force the seams

open, allowing the gas to leak
out. It only takes a spark from
the ignition, electrical system, a
cigarette or even a short in the
brake lights to trigger an ex-
plosion.

Though there are no B.C.
laws which prohibit the carry-
ing of a spare gasoline can in
your vehicle, the BCAA warns
that this practice is inadvisable
and extremely dangerous par-
ticularly in the event of rear-
end collisions.

In addition you should
avoid keeping gasoline around
the home. If you need to store
some, say for use in the lawn

, mower, store it sensibly, exer-

cise extreme caution when
filling the mower and never use
the gas for any purpose other
than running an-internal com-
bustion engine.

Don't use it to wash oil-
stained clothing, strip wax from
floors, light barbecues, or start
fires in indoor fireplaces. It is
even more commonly misused
to clean ‘paintbrushes, thin
paint products, or remove tar
and bugs from the family car
though there are commercial
products available to perform
those tasks more safely.

If you must store gasoline
at home be sure to. use a
proper jerry-can type of metal
container with a vented or
spring loaded cap to allow
vapors to escape. Best place to
store it would be in a locked
tool shed in a remote corner of
the backyard, or perhaps a
garage, but never inside the
house where hot-water heaters,
stoves and pilot lights pose an
ever-present danger.

Store the can in a non-tip
position in a cool, high spot or in
‘a locked cabinet out of reach of
children and pets. Make sure it
is away from pilot lights, heat-
ers, machinery or electrical
connections.

When using gasoline, pour
it slowly, being careful not to
spill. If some does spill, hose it
away immediately. Never
smoke or strike a match around
gasoline, and always use it ina
well-ventilated area. Recap the
can right away, even if it's
empty, and return it to its
storage place. Use plastic bags
to dispose of any gasoline-
soaked rags or clothing, and
place them in an outdoor trash
receptacle.

Above all, +arns BCAA,
caution family members, par-
ticularly children, about the
dangers of gasoline.

Remember, too, that gaso-
line is poisonous. If someone
inadvertently swallows some,
do not induce vomiting. Rather,
have the victim drink plenty of
milk or water, suggests the
auto club, and contact the
nearest poison control centre or
your physician.

Creston Feels Impact
From CPR Blockade

The effects of a blockade of
the CPR tracks near Cranbrook
are now being felt in Creston,
as inventories of wood products
build up and CPR employees
are laid off,

Six employees of the CPR
in Creston have. been laid off
because of the dispute which
centers around 72 acres of
eroded land near Fort Steele, A
spokesman for J.H. Huscroft
Ltd. said that its operation
could be shut down by the end
of next week if the rail link to
the CPR mainline is not re-
opened.

There is an embargo on
box cars because of the closure
and Huscroft has only one
empty chip car remaining,
Chips from the mill are usually
sent to Crestbrook pulp mill at
Skookumchuck,

The mill is down to one
shift a day, partly because of
holidays and partly because of
the increased inventories, but.a

_ shutdown could affect 70 people

and eventually the logging
contractors.

Crestbrook Public Rela-
tions Officer John Dutton said
that the ‘only bright spot’ in the
outlook for CFT's Creston op-
eration is that a two-week
maintenance shutdown is plan-
ned shortly. He said that the
company ‘is concerned’ about

the increasing inventories of
lumber and veneer in Creston,
although five carloads have
been rerouted through the
States to their destination.

+ He also commented that,
although shipments can be re-
routed through the U.S., it is
often difficult to get the cars
back from the States, adding to
the railear shortage. i

Shell Oil distributor Casey
Messinger said that oil dis-
tributors are also affected be-
cause every company is now
competing for a limited number
of gas trucks to bring in bulk
supplies, ‘Everyone is being cut
back,’ he said.

Meanwhile, CPR Public
relations officer Charles Gor-
don sald that sidings in the
Kootenays ‘are pretty well
plugged’ and will remain that
way until the dispute is settled.

He said that between 130
and 140 CPR employees in the
Kootenay division have been
laid off, and further lay-offs
could result.

He added that the com-
pany is willing to go to court to
settle the dispute, which has
gone on since 1971, but neither
the Department of Indian Af-
fairs or the St. Mary's Indian
Band ‘were interested in that
solution.’

New Denver School

community groups, senior citi- :

zens’ clubs, hospitals, prisons,
