“Create Paths With Furnishings

Hallways were designed to *
allow traffic through our homes
without going through all the
rooms in the house,

Even with the beautiful old
hardwood and linoleum floor-
ing, though, there were marked
places that received more traf-
fic than other areas.

With the day of broadloom
—when we even put carpets in
our bathroom and kitchen areas

When we arrange our fur-
niture we define the use of
space and it is within our
nature to put everything
against walls. In the floor plan

rangements have been tried
and you can see the difference
in where people are forced to
walk, This not only increases:

Adventist
Receives
Special Award

A Seventh-day Adventist
was recently awarded the
“Righteous Gentile" medal by
an Israeli organization for sav-
ing the lives of more than 700
Jews from the Nazi holocaust in
World War II, according to
Dirk Zinner, pastor of the
Castlegar-Trail Seventh-day
Adventist Church,

* John Henry Weidner, 65,
now owns a chain of health-food
stores in Pasadena, Calif. Born
a Dutch citizen in Belgium, he
was the son of a Seventh-day
Adventist minister. While run-
ning a textile business in
Lyons, France, he established
the “Dutch-Paris” underground
which helped 700-plus Jews
escape to Switzerland.

“At that time we never
thought of any reward or
decorations,” he told his audi-

+ ence last summer on receiving
the medal from Yad Vashem, an
Israeli organization. “We fought
for a world of love, justice and
understanding.”

= The Nazi Gestapo placed a

+. reward of five million francs on
 Weidner's head at the height of
his work in 1944. He was
arrested and escaped several
times, and was nearly drowned

: by French police when they

‘ tortured him in a bathtub. His
sister, Gabrielle, was exiled to
Ravenbrueck concentration

: camp and died there.

In making the award to
Weidner, Yad Vashem chair-
man Gideon Hausner told him,
“You were a soldier of hu-
manity in the world's darkest

“before” picture shows where
we would traditionally put our
furniture and thus create a
circle of traffic around the
room; or a direct path through
it if there are two doorways to
the room.

The Art
Of Blowing

Your Nose

Blowing the nose too hard
is a-common cause of sinus
disease, says a physician, who
warns that excessive blowing
irritates the nose exactly like
rubbing the eyes would do to
delicate eye membranes.

Whiat is the correct way of

. blowing the nose?

“Gently! Indeed, the less
blowing, the better,” writes Dr.
Murray’ Grossan in Life and
Health magazine. '

“If you must blow, blow
very gently into a tissue, with
both sides of the nose open.”

it adds interest to your room
and the furniture is made to
work for you,

Unless you are in the habit
of vaulting over a sofa from the
back, a sofa placed in a normal
pathway will make you walk
around it or take another
direction when you come to it.

In the summer, for exam-
ple, we make much use of patio
doors and it may be wise to
adjust our furnishings to make

AFTER

it easy for family members to
use the doorways with little
obstruction. In the winter,
move the furniture back against
the patio doors or rearrange
the room around the fireplace
or inside wall instead,

We can also create unique
conversation areas in the room
by grouping chairs or a sofa and
loveseat into its own little
space, and thus we divert the
traffic around it so that con-
versation remains uninterrupt-
ed even while people are
coming and going through the
room,

One great use of words
Is to hide our thoughts.’”

Fat Comes
Right Back

If you're thinking of fasting
to get rid of extra pounds—
think again. Experts say the fat
comes right back.

A study recently conduct-
ed in Los Angeles put 207
patients with an average
weight of 330 pounds in hospital
to fast. They skipped food for
two months and lost an average
of 65 pounds. Patients sticking
with the fasting longer than
two months lost an average of
99 pounds.

The fasters kept down to
their reduced weight for 12 to

18 months before starting to *

put it back on. In three years,
half of the group had returned
to their original weight and
after seven years, only seven
patients were still at their
reduced weight.

Once again, scientists have

proven—obese people can easily *

lose weight by fasting, but once
the fasting ends the pounds
come right back.

Center for Health Statistics, a
study of 74 million accidents

—almost half of them—took

Most of the adults who got

the statistics show they ran a

Fats Have Essential Nutrients

Question:

Can you tell me how pro-
cessed cheese and cheese
spreads are mado? Does their
nutrient content differ from,
@.g., cheddar cheese?

Anewer:

To make processed cheese

and cheese spreads, natural

cheeses are ground and mixed -

with the aid of heat and an
emulsifying agent. Acid, cream,
water, salt, coloring and spices
can be added. A

tial nutrients, Butter and mar-

moisture and less fat so that it

ifthe Kootenay Diversion is
implemented.

The study examined the
years 1956-1977 inclusive and
showed that the average level
in the lake and river would be_
lowered less than one foot by
the’ Diversion in normal years,

. But according to the study,
the level in the key months of
May, June and July could be
reduced two to three feet. More
threatening is the discovery
that the date at which Koote-
nay Lake and the West Arm

one month and have a serious
impact on resort owners, fisher-
men, lakefront property ow-
ners, and all those who use the

A federally-funded study

However, indications are that
the annual loss of 1.5 million
acre-feet of water to the Koote-

to the lake's health, according
to Fish and Wildlife biologists,

In a press conference at Selkirk College last Tuesday, McGeer said his ministry

“One particular school dis-

to run an economic program in

“And yet they find that in
the following year they get
slapped with an increased levy

consequence of what all school
