Discovery realizes there's more to this chair than comfort

JASON KEENAN
Sun staff

They used to make chairs out
of history.

While reupholstering a chair at
SpringBack Upholstery, Carl
Linkletter found two pieces of
cardboard, the size of a page from
this newspaper, used as stiffening
panels on the chair's arms
Smaller pieces of the same
cardboard were used in tacking
the chair together.

“As soon as I saw those bits of
cardboard all over the back, I
knew there was something
different,” said Linkletter. The
cardboard pages turned out to be

plates used in the printing process
for the Tuesday, July 22, 1952
issue of The Calgary Herald

“We probably wouldn't have
found it,” said Linkletter, “But
when we repair a chair we go
right in to it to make sure that
everything is in proper order. It's
a policy'we have.” They were
working on the chair for a
company based in Creston.

In taking the 40-year-old chair
chair apart, Linkletter said it was
obviously the first time that it had
ever been taken apart to be
Te} 4

“This is the original
construction,” he said, pointing to
the plates.

The pages contain a blend of
different news and sports,
including two stories of interest to
Kootenay residents.

A story from Krestova, B.C.,
entitled No Promised Land Awaits
Doukhobors, is a report on the trip
of Steffan Sorokin, the then leader
of the Sons of Freedom, to South
America. The story reads:

After a five-month tour of South
American countries, bearded
Steffan, Sorokin, 40-year-old
spiritual leader of the Sons of
Freedom, Monday told his
followers it would be unwise for
them to flee Canada for South
America.

He visited Uruguay, Paraguay,

Should want to leave Canada

“Canada is best, Canada is
best,” he told newspaper men
during a press conference at the
Sons of Freedom headquarters in
this ramshackle village in the
Kootenays.

He had met Mennonites,
Russians, and other European
colonists during his tour. All

In one story from Cranbrook,
entitled Power Rate is Reduced,
the new rates for consumers
supplied by the East Kootenay
Power Company are outlined
This story reads:

Cost of electricity dropped for
the average consumer here
starting July | when the rate for
consumption of power exceeding
300 kilowatts a month dropped
from 3-to 1.75 cents. It effects
reduction for consumers whose
bills for the month have been over
$6.90, which covers the first 30
kilowatts at 6 cents and the next
270 kilowatts at 3 cents.

The most fascinating part of
this piece of history is the movie
listings. What was showing in
July of 1952?

In downtown Calgary, you
could have caught Gregory Peck
and Virginia Mayo in Captain
Horatio Hornblower, Barbara
Stanwyck and Adolphe Menjou in
Golden Boy, Bogey in The

Maltese Falcon, or Errol Flynn
and Ruth Roman in Mara Maru.

And the ad for the latest Dean
Martin and Jerry Lewis flick,
Jumping Jacks, promises the film
to be “Positively their greatest
laugh riot!” . If the drive-in was
more your style, you could have
caught the first Mrs. Ronald
Reagan, Jane Wyman, along with
Charles Laughton, in Blue Veil.

Linkletter said finding the bit
of history made him think about
all the other chairs out their made
by the same company.

“You never know how many
chairs of the same age, of the
same make, are out there.

“There's gotta be a whole paper
out there.”

Increasing the odds

KAREN KERKHOFF
Sun staff

If your odds of survival were
one in 750,000 would you take
that chance?

Hopefully you or I will never
be faced with that choice, but for
over 1,000 Canadians these are
the odds they are faced with
daily.

These people are critically ill
with either leukemia, aplastic
anemia, immune disorders or
some cancers, including breast
cancer.

Their only hope is a bone
marrow transplant.

Bone marrow is the soft,
organic, spongelike material
found in the cavities of the bones.
The chief function of bone
marrow is to manufacture red
blood cells, white blood cells, and
platelets, which are essential to
‘sustaining life.

{ Diseases such as aplastic
janemia, or leukemia can destroy
the bone marrow. When this
marrow

30 to 40 percent of patients have

family,” said Th

When an individual donates
their marrow only about 900 ml.
of marrow is harvested per

Sadly, for some patients, a
match cannot be found in their
family. When this occurs the
patient then has to turn to the
Canadian registry, and their last
hope lies in the hands of a total
stranger who is willing to donate
their marrow.

On the Canadian transplant
registry there are currently 32,000
names. The worldwide registry,
to which Canada is linked has
700,000 names. The more names
on the registry the more
likelihood there is a chance of
finding a match.

To be a donor one must be
between the ages of 17 and 59, be
willing and able to be a regular
blood donor, and attend an
information session which
outlines the donation procedure.
The chances of matching a
particular patient with an
unrelated donor vary from one in
450, to one in 750,000,

Bone marrow transplants are a
relatively new procedure. Related
transplants have been performed
for 20 years, unrelated transplants
have only been performed for 15
years.

Related transplants are
donated by a close relative,
usually a sibling. Unrelated
transplants are donated by total
strangers

Region Red Cross Community
Developement and Volunteer
Resources.

“The Canadian registry has
only been active since 1987. We
are in great need of registered
donors. It's a lottery to see if
somebody matches. With this
registry the recipients odds are
greatly increased. The difficulty
with bone marrow donation is
that the donor’s marrow has to
genetically match with that of the
recipient. Compatibility is
determined by matching specific
protein markers called Human

‘A’ simple blood sample is
taken to determine a donor's
tissue type. This is then entered
into the registry. If a donor is
selected from the registry as an
initial match, then further blood
tests are required to obtain a
complete match. Only when a
complete match is found is the
transplant done.

This is only about two
to five percent of the donor’s total
bone marrow. The marrow starts
to replace itself in about two
weeks.

There is no financial cost to
the donor, and all arrangements
are made by the transplant centre
in Vancouver.

For some individuals you
might be their only hope for
survival.

about donating bone marrow,

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA

Parliamentary
Reform

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Two referenda questions were presented to voters
on October 17, 1991. The first asked whether the right of
‘recall’ should be instituted in British Columbia. That is,
should voters be given the right, by legislation, to vote
between elections for the removal of their Member of
the Legislative Assembly?

The second question asked whether the right of
‘initiative’ should be introduced in the province. That is,
should voters be given the right, by legislation, to
propose questions that the Government of British
Columbia must submit to voters by referendum?

The Select Standing C i
