It Keeps Writing Happy Stories

Look at this picture long
enough and the wheelchair will
disappear,

After a while you will see
only a teenage boy who is
pretty much like other teen-
agers, And that is exactly how
the Easter Seal people would
like you to see him,

Disabled children don't
want to be singled out or
treated differently, Neither do
they want to be quietly avoid-
ed. They just want to be
accepted as people... as kids,

They want you to stop
seeing the disability and start
seeing the person.

Says Anti-Gun Laws Do Not Stop Criminals

‘Dear Sir:

In January of this year a_

* realization grows that there are

+ disturbing parallels to be seen

‘and heard in Ottawa with what
happened when the Commu-
nists took over Czechoslovakia.

When our Big Brother, Prime
Minister Trudeau, told the
nation recently that he plans “a
massive intervention into the
decision-making power of econ-
‘omic groups” and to change the
attitudes, values, habits and
institutions of Canadians, he
was merely repeating in a more
subtle way what he had spelled
out in Social oh tee
Canada, and especially
numerous articles in his tettst
magizine, “Cite Libre” of the
early '60's.

One of the most striking
similarities now so increasingly
apparent, is the “Gun Controi”
aspect which in 1948, in Czecho-
slovakia, led to the disarming of
the citizens in paving the way
for the Communist takeover...

The smokescreen of “Gun
Control” now being amalga-
mated in another Federal “om-

nibus” bill (just as the homo-
sexual bill was. wrapped up

‘with easier abortion and di-

"The first line of defence in

other countries which have
enacted restrictive gun legis-
lation have not benefited from a
fall in crime, but have actually
suffered from increasing crime
rates and violence with fire-
arms. For example, the FBI's
Quarterly Crime Report for the
first quarter of 1971 indicates
that in Chicago, New York City,
and Philadelphia, there were
623 murders, compared to 531
for the same period of 1970.

Incidentally, these. three -

law-abiding citizen, bur not | not the

can be fairly sure his intended
victim will be unarmed, thus an
easy target for assault, rob-
bery, rape, or murder,

Tick Season is Here Again Says
Health Unit Director Dr. Schmitt

The director of the West
Kootenay Health Unit, Dr, Nick
Schmitt, has issued a statement
to remind local parents and
outdoorsmen that the tick
season has begun.

The Rocky. Mountain tick,
says Dr. Schmitt, is the insect
that causes tick paralysis and is
most abundant in the Koote-
nays between March and June.

Human tick paralysis was
first recognized in North Amer-
ica in 1912. Since that time,
805 human cases of the disease
have been reported in this
province, of which 30 were
fatal.

Domestic and game ani-
mals also become | affected.
There are 189 outbreaks of tick
paralysis in liye-stock on re-
cord, involving more than 2,000
cattle and 1,800 sheep.

Six cases of tick paralysis
have been recorded in the West
Kootenay area since 1965. Four
of the cases: were children
under five years of age. The
other two were adults.

The name “wood tick” is
very misleading as ticks don't
live in trees but rather prefer
open dry country on almost any
low shrub and grass,

Itis the femate that we are

d about. 0:

next day, complairrof numbness
of the feot and logs with
walking difficulties.

A few hours later, it may
be Impossible to stand up.
Gradually more serious paraly-
ais dovelops, affecting the mus-
cles of the throat and swallow-
ing difficulties arise. The
tongue may be involved and
speech may be slurred. There is
no pain and usually no fever.

Most patients, during the
early stages, feel generally
quite comfortable and are en-
tirely unaware of the serious-
ness of thelr condition.

It the paralysis has not
progressed too far, complete
recovery within a few days
follows the removal of the tick.
However, if the tick is over-
looked, the patient may die.

Removal of the Rocky
Mountain wood tick is simple.
Grasp it firmly between first
finger and thumb and pull with
aslow, steady motion. The head
of this species of tick is very
firmly attacked to its body and
almost never breaks off,

The use of chemicals such
as alcoho}, ether, petroleum or
hot objects such as cigarette
butts are not only unnecessary.
but ineffective.”

Easter Seal Easter
Seal buses, Easter Seal camps,
Easter Seal House and direct
patient care services.

The British Columbia Li-

ons Society for Crippled Chil-,

dren currently operates 83
Easter Seal buses in over 40
communities scattered  effec-
tively throughout the province.
‘The Easter Seal bus service is
the largest, most comprehen-
sive system for the’ handicap-
ped in the world. But it is an
expensive service to operate—
‘10 per cent of the budget goes
to transportation, more than
one million dollars.

The cost of operating four
Lions’ Easter Seal camps for
the handicapped is in excess of
one quarter of a million dollars,
a big price, but not too big a
price to pay. These camps fill
several needs for more than 800
handicapped children and
young adults in B.C.

Number one, the disabled
can have a holiday. But more
important, sleepouts in the
woods, ‘competing in games,
bleiiding into new situations
help the handicapped to stretch
physically and emotionally, to
meet new challenges ina warm
atmosphere,

A warm atmosphere is also
what is so special about Easter
Sea! House. This house is the

“home away from home” for .

more. than 2,000: handicapped
children and parents. It has five

“housekeeping suites and is

across from the Children's
‘Treatment Centre at Vancou-
ver General Hospital.

It is here that handicapped
youngsters can stay with a
parent for only $3 a night while
they receive diagnosis and
