Naturalists’ annual camp, Aug. 16 - 23 in the Nelson area, with Margaret Barwis camp director. The Kootenay Pentecostal Camp near the Harrop ferry became headquarters for the 45 campers, staff and helpers during the busy week. The camp was opened by a welcoming speech by Hazel Street, president of the West Kootenay Naturalists. This was followed by a slide presentation of local scenes by George Whitehead and Dick Grimm, and a social hour hosted by the local naturalists. The daily trips and evening lectures were arranged by Madge Holli and Eli Wallach, pe: y. Many of the local West Kootenay naturalists helped and participated in various camp activities. The highlight of the Creston — Salmo — Nelson bus tour was the lively, witty and historical commentary by Betty Drew, en route to and from the Creston Wildlife Centre.

Others accompanied geologist Dr. Lesley Anderton on a geology-mining trip from Coffee Creek to Three Forks.

Swimming and boating on the Kootenay lake were also enjoyed. The evening programs were illustrated talks by Wood on insects, and by Anderton on the geology of the area. Both are instructors at Selkirk College. . Jack McDonald of the Rossland Museum spoke on local mining history. Dr. Cy Hampson, photographer and formerly of the University of Alberta, spoke on “Paths of Petals” — floral pictures from many parts of the world.

As each explorer stepped ashore, a brief historical account emphasizing his contribution to the Kootenay area was read by Drew. The script and pageant was prepared by the camp director. The VIP explorers included: David Thompson, 1770-1857, Canada’s greatest explorer; David Dovglas, 1830s, botanist and explorer; James Sinclair, 1806-56, trader and explorer; Capt. John Palliser, 1807-1887, explorer; Father de Smet, 1845, Belgian Jesuit missionary; Edgar Dewdney, 1835-1916, civil engineer and surveyor who build the Dewdney Trail from Fort Hope to present-day Fort Steele. Following in the wake of the canoes came “Wekoona”, a legendary lake monster captured by one of the Indians. His bright red, luminous eyes were visible as he proceeded and, as he approached the campfire, many could discern his seven shiny black dorsal fins. GRIEF NATURAL PART OF OUR LIFE CYCLE CALGARY (CP) — Most people mistakenly assume grief is.something they can find a cure for, says Phyllis Silverman, an expert on dealing with death. Instead, Silverman argues, people should view grieving as a- phase of life — though certainly not -an enjoyable one — that everyone goes through. “You don't recover from grief, you're changed by it,” Siiverman said in an interview. “Grieving is a natural part of the life cycle . . . not an aberration.” A professor of social work at Massachusetts General Hospital and a lecturer at Harvard Medical School, Silverman began a one-to-one counselling program for widows in the Boston area 20 years ago that sparked similar efforts in cities all over the world. The program, called Widow to Widow, is also the title of a book by Silverman that examines dealing with death. She was in Calgary to attend a conference for social workers and volunteers on coping with losses. time, she said, many people are just beginning to feel real in “Appropriate grieving can take up to two years.” HAS NO‘CURE’ Many doctors, with their penchant for quick tions, haven't helped. “The medical community tends © look at grieving as an illness. They look for a cure,” she said. Family members or friends can be helpful to a widow or anyone else in mourning. But the most helpful person is often someone who has endured a similar experience. That was the logic, Silverman’ said, behind -her Widow-to-Widow program, which has spread under va us names to several Canadian cities, including Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal. Volunteer women who've lived through the loss of heir husbands are matched with others whose pain is more recent. “You have to have someone who can listen, who can share and remember your pain,” Silverman said. “A lot of people don't went to do that, they're not good helpers.” Silverman said the women who deal most successfully with their grief are those who recognize they have many years ahead of them — years in which they can establish new friends, new hobbies and even new ca-eers. I's no compensation for the staggering loss of their husbands, but “many women find themselves enjoying a kind of freedom they never had before, they have a set for third year and television, look at mar. keting, study films and videos, develop scripts and write a short film or teleplay.

Don't gamble with flu OTTAWA (CP) — As cold weather approaches, thou- sands of Canadians are likely to gamble with their health rather than take the simple precaution of getting a flu shot. “Influenza vaccination is the single most effective way of preventing or attenuating influenza and has long been recommended for those at high risk of serious illness or death,” says the National Advisory Committee on Im- munization. However, it is believed that only about 20 per cent of this population receive vac cine annually.” The advisory group, make up of experts inside and out. side government, is unsure of the reasons for such poor coverage of people in high. risk groups. Dr. Stan Acres of the fed- eral government's Labora tory Centre for Disease Con trol shares that uncertainty. “Perhaps some physicians don't have as much faith in the vaccine as they might have,” he speculates. Influenza vaccine is con sidered effective for 60 per cent to 70 per cent of the people who get it. That's not dazzling by medical standards, says Acres, but it’s better than nothing. FACES RISK Older people and people with chronic diseases which make them vulnerable to other illnesses are most at risk of dying or having serious problems with flu. The National Advisory Committee recommends an nua) vaccinations for adults with chronic heart and lung problems, diabetes, cancer, kidney disease, anemia and other diseases or conditions which affect the body's me- tabolism or immune system. Other high-risk groups in clude residents of nursing homes and chronic-eare facili. ties, people 65 or older and children with certain chronic disorders and diseases which require continuing medical supervision. The number of confirmed cases of flu in Canada last winter was higher than nor mal. Just more than 1,600 in fections were confirmed by laboratory tests and it's any one’s guess how many other infections went unreported Acres says preliminary re ports from the southern hemisphere, where flu nor mally originates, indicate the level of flu activity this winter will be about the same as last The last serious influenza outbreak in Canada was the Hong Kong flu that struck during the winter of 1968-69. OFFERS PROTECTION Flu vaccine is formulated to protect people against the specific types of flu most likely to appear in any given winter. The type approved for this winter is slightly different from the vaccine for last winter and provides pro tection against three types of flu viruses. None of the vaccines are effective in preventing flulike illnesses caused by other viruses. One flu shot a year is nor- mally all it takes. Ideally, people in high-risk groups will get vaccinations during routine visits to their doctors this month or next. The flu season really gets under way in Canada in No- vember and it’ takes two or three weeks for the vaccine to build up antibodies to flu viruses in the body. Allergic reactions to the vaccine are rare and re- actions such as fever occur only occasionally. Contact lenses a concern who work in a dusty envir- onment, or where there are a lot of fumes, shouldn't be buying contacts. And it is warning consumers to care. fully maintain their lenses or run the risk of eye damage. The society, the national association of eye doctors and surgeons, says that extend ed-wear contacts should be removed for cleaning at least once a week. Wearers also should sleep at least one night weekly without their lenses to help ensure the cornea receives enough oxy gen. Elderly focus of promotion TORONTO (CP) — Dental health and care for the elderly was the focus of a recent presented by Toronto's Public Health Department. “More than half of the senior citizens in Toronto have not seen a dentist in five years,” said Anne Moon, senior communications of. ficer for the department. “Almost 60 per cent of the seniors who have no teeth have ill-fitting dentures or diseased gums.” PLAZA 1 Western Conetien Company Open for Your Shopping Convenience lla.m.-5 p.m. he 79° Hot Dog Is Back!
