Backup of grain
could be serious

VANCOUVER (CP) —
Grain elevators here are
plugged with wheat deatined
for China because there is a
shortage of Chinese ships‘
available to carry it away.

The result is a backup of
rail cars, frustrated terminal
operators and the possibility
of delay to the other port
customera who cannot get
their vessels under grain
spouts,

The problem is an unusual
one for Vancouver. Usually
the problem is that grain
ships have to anchor offshore
awaiting arrival of cargo de-
layed through avalanches,
work disruptions and short-

energy conservation.

The British Columbia
Chamber's Energy Commit-
tee offers the following sug-
gestions to conserve valuable
energy resources in every
community of the province.

1. Each household can con-
serve energy by using wea-
therstrip on doors, double-
glazed windows, increasing
the level of insulation in walls

- and cellings of houses and re-
ducing the use of a scarce
resource by conversions from
oit to gas heating.

2, Each automobile owner
can conserve gasoline by us-
ing park and ride facilities for’ 6)
larger cars or switching to
smaller vehicles, while own-
ers of commercial vehicles
may be able to convert to
natural gas instead of gas-
oline fuel.

8. Industrial firms should
be urged to use their own
waste products to produce
energy for internal use. For
example, larger wood pro-
cessing companies can usc
industrial waste to produce
electricity for their own
needs and coal producers can
use their own fuel to gen-
erate electrical power.

Residents of Vernon re-
cently completed a year-long
experimental program on

Sex after 40
not all downhill

ROCHESTER, MINN.
{AP) — New U.S. studies
indicate a man’s sex drive
“isn’t all downhill” after age
40, a Mayo Clinic specialist in
endocrinology told an. ap-
preciative audience of mid-
die-aged men at a gathering.
of dental health profes-
sions.
> Dr. Paul Carpenter said
Friday that studies done 30
years ago indicated the male
sex drive, libido and potency,
decline as levels of the testo-
sterone hormone diminish
with advancing age.

More recent studies say
this may not be the case,
Carpenter told the 2ist an-
nual Dental Reviews Pro-
gram, which is sponsored by
the clinic.

Carpenter said the earlier
studies were done on ‘pa-
tients at such places at the
Mayo Clinic and large, uni-
versity medical centres. It is
possible, he said, the ‘men
studied may not have been in
the best health to begin with.

More recent investigations
were done on the general

population and presumably ~

included healthier men, Car-
penter said, and the findings
conflict with those of the
1950s. F

JThe difference is “good
news” and indicates men who
otherwise are healthy main-
tain their sex drive into ad-
vaneed years, based on th
amout of testosterone still in
their system, the physician
said.

He said the early studies
indicating a decline in sex
drive began as early as age
30 were “a pretty depressing
picture — all down hill.”
