McLaughlin, 69, died of a heart attack after buying three tickets to the Ohio state lot- tery. The night of his burial, Mrs, McLaughlin received a phone call from lottery officials telling her she was eligible for the lottery's $400,000 jackpot, “My nerves were in such a state I wanted to delay taking part in the televised drawing.” Mrs. McLaughlin said at her Richmond, Ohio, home. But her family convinced her to participate and her dead husband's ticket’ won the big prize. “I guess I will go to Cali- fornia now," Mrs, McLaughlin sald. The McLaughlins spent their honeymoon there 13 years ago. “Wayne was a wonderful man, He bought the lottery tickets because he knew I wanted to go west again. “He would be so happy—if he knew."

These © nien’: speak “thelr anger quietly that-way. They try to hold to balance.” Balance is one of the ideals most important to them along with loyality and quality. And what angry middle-aged men in America have to tell about their careers during the past 20 to 30 years forms a chronicle of the deterioration of these ideals in business and the professions, decline in quality and loss of such virtues as loyalty, ‘So they blame bigness— corporations, big business, big government for much that has gone wrong for them and the country. They speak wistfully, but with little hope, of re- turning to smallness, restoring humanism to a computerized existence. They have no answers beyond that, But they raise a terrible question about the people in the country who have been traditionally considered to be, and are more truly, power- less—the poor, the incapact- tated, the minorities and mis- fits, as yes, women still, If these things have hap- pened to us, middle-aged men say in their anger, think what else is going to happen to the rest of you. ~~ Hall is Top Priority By John Bokle Castlegar News Slocan Valley Correspondent A year of progress was reported at the annug] meeting of the Rural Alternative So- eit Treasurer Hal Duggan’s report showed expenses for the year totalling” $13,903, the amount forwarded from last year at $9,739 and income for year being $4,559. Main activity of the society has been the finishing of the Vallican Whole Community Hall. In the last four years $23,000 has been raised locally and 1,800 hours of donated work supplied by the com- munity. The building will be worth $100,000 in its present state - and will require about $80,000 more for material to complete the project. It is presently being used by a free school, theatre instruction group, for dance instruction and com- munity meetings.

They assumed, for the purpose ‘of the exercise, that this was an area/where a need for a: recreational site exiated. The group then formu- lated and implemented a plan to develop the area in the most productive, ecologically-sound manner. ‘The site consists of a cleared area with’ four heavy log tables, designed and built by the class, placed around a fire circle. There are also three demonstration tent pads and some outdoor facilities. The work done on the’ camp site The ehtraticd to the site Is across a 50-ton-capacity log bridge constructed :two years ago by the forestry depart- ment. In the future, additional work will be done in the re- serve area by students making ‘a practical application of the forestry and recreation theory they learn in the classroom. . Both local industry and the B.C. Forest Service have ex- pressed their interest and support’ for a demonstration forest of this nature in the West Kootenay.

Cigarettes and Alcohol Are Deadly for Women ‘The deadly combination for ‘women is alcohol and cigar- ettes. A new study shows that women who smoke and drink regularly may develop mouth cancer as much as 16 years earlier than those who: do neither. % Smoking alone may bring ‘on oral cancer only five years earlier. , But “exposure to only alcohol does not produce any definite reduction in the.age" when mouth cancer may de- velop. The 10-year study was~ conducted at Roswell Park Memorial Institute, a presti- gious cancer-research center in Buttalo, N.Y. It shows that smoking and drinking combined have a cumulative effect in the development of oral cancer, id Dr. Irwin D. J, Bross. That is, he said, it's “more than just the additional effect” you might expect from two potential cancer-causing agents working simultaneously: One plus one in this case equals more than two. It’s like getting interest on money in the bank, then getting interest on the interest. Dr. Bross, who co-authored the study with Jeanne Coombs, said their evaluation of 2,118 women showed that exposure to both alcohol and tobacco can lead to onset of early cancer 15 or. more years earlier than in women who abstain from both. 1 BED $14.00 or 2 BEDS seo 00 COLOR T.V. — SELF DIAL PHONES —, POOL TABLE SPECIAL OFFER ‘WITH COUPON \ EXPIRES FEB, 28, 1977 med fs Castlegar News Centre, Offer some Chiistmas oy...

Dec. 2,1976 Cominco announced last week a $7.3 million project to modernize the-drossing section: of the lead smelter at Trail. Manager of the Trail Operations Guy Downie, said the project will provide major improvements in working con- ditions, safety, industrial hy- giene and efficiency. The work’ is being started immediately and completion is scheduled for mid-1978, Mr. Downie said the pro- ject required a long period of investigation to ensure that the technology selected will ac- complish the objectives. This has included visits by technical staff members to plants in other parts of the world as well as substantial design work at ‘Trail, Smelter superintendent John Reid said the main ele- ments of the project will be a new, continuous dressing fur-, nace to replace the present two- furnace system, and a baghouse to handle fume from the fur- nace and charging system, both of which will be enclosed and ventilated. The elimination of.a major part of the fuming, less manual work and the clearing of plant congestion as a’ result of less handling of material are the main improvements in the working environment. In addi- tion, the problem’ of fume drifting into other plant areas ‘will be greatly reduced, he said. “There will also be some side benefits for the com- munity,” Mr. Reid added. “When the by-product copper matte is granulated, the noise if They Taunt You: - What Then?
