Many Grade 9 girls “hold extremely naive notions about life and work,” believing they will ultimately marry and not have to be concerned about getting a job. “Many are just not Twice as many boys as girls were taking computer science in Grades 11 and 12, while the number of boys studying the subject in Grade 18 was significantly higher. Wiggan said many teachers don't encourage female students in mathematics nad mothers are often too under- standing about their daughters’ math difficulties, , Saring things like: “I wasn’t good at it myself.” EXPECT THE SAME But there should be:the same high expectations. for female students as for males, she said. The Toronto board has taken steps to:try to‘encourage students, particularly ~ girls, to’ stick with the subject. Wiggan said math is essential for students who want “to . maximize ‘their options.” She described it as an invisible filter, because dropping it closes women off from careers ranging from the obvious, making adequate career plans and ” She said that even when given market statistics showing married: women will work for an average of 25 years, and single women an average of 45 years, many female students still don't revise their plans. Wiggan was one of 185 speakers at the University of Waterloo recently talking to about 1,000 Ontario teachers such as g, to law and t where math is often used on entrance exams. “Girls have to be encouraged more than ever before to hang in there and take math,” Wiggan said. “It's a real concern that women acquire information and make approp- riate (career) decisions.” She also cited statistics gathered by Ontario Women's about math and the job market, — teaching techniques. She said a survey of Toronto math students indicated that in Grade 13 there were 22 per cent fewer-girls than boys taking calculus, while girls were outnumbered two to one in algebra. »B Toronto *“all Ontario, women between the: ages of 44 and 76 are ‘in the that more than 75 per cent of labor force.

TORONTO (CP) —. Psy- chologist Penelope Russian- off encourages her female patients to ask the question that is the title of her best- selling book: Why Do I Think T'm Nothing Without a Man? The New York-based ther- apist has a theory — de- veloped over nearly 40 years of counselling — that most women, including those high- ly successful in their careers, are “desperately dependent” on men, . The focus of their lives be- comes either having or keep- ing a man. Thus, Russianoff encourages women to be- come not independent but “undependent.” The Joh Chub of No first prize — Two Alberta writers : Schoemperlen and Marilyn Shirley Stratton — have been named the top winners of Flare Magazine's 1982 fiction Schoemperlen of Canmore, Alta., won the second prize ‘|: of $800 for her entry entitled Hockey Night in Canada and Stratton of Calgary receives $200 for her piece The Snail Bonnie’ Hurowitz, editor of Flare, said in an interview that no first-place prize was awarded this year because judges were disappointed with the quality of “They were good,” said Hurowitz, “but not out- .

Aerial view of Drynoch Laridelide from the southwest, aie ts at lower left. ~ Drynoch Landslide just keeps on rolling along By HUGH WESTRUP A giant mass of soil and mud is: sliding into the Thompson:. River, cutting across railroad tracks and the Trans-Canada Highway.: But the Drynoch Landslide is no cause for. immediate. alarm,, “because it's moving in slow smotion. The slipping mass of earth is creeping downhill at an av- erage rate of three metres a. year and has been doing so, in fits and starts, for 3,000 to 6,000 years. Douglas VanDine, a geol- ogical engineer with Thurber Consultants. Ltd. has just published a history of the Drynoch Landslide in the Canadian Geotechnical Jour- nal. He says the slide is a genuine natural oddity; he knows of only .a couple of other slow-moving landslides in Canada — one on the Pavilion River in B.C., and the other near Clinton, B.C. VanDine says the Drynoch Landslide is due to a buildup of water pressure in the ground. “Water from creeks and rainfall seeps ‘through the topsoil to an underlying layer of clay,” he’ says, “When the water soaks into the clay, it decreases the co- thesion of the clay and turns‘it © ‘into. mud.” : ; ‘The weakened clay is ‘not able.to withstand the force of gravity, which pulls both the clay and the overlaying top- soil down the hill. VanDine says the land- slide, which is located on the east slope of the river valley, is about five kilometres long and one-half kilometre wide. “From an aircraft it looks like The wonderland of timber, wildlife, fresh water and rec- reation called home is also the place where forest fires could break out, In the Arrow _ District where backwoods : dwellers abound, forest service fire fighters rushed to quell 36 forest fires in 1982, Although no property was threatened by flames there is no guarantee the same happy story can be told at the end of the 1983 campaign. Protection experts at the Arrow District Office are trained and prepared to offer over the counter tips on what to do before purchasing a home and how to safeguard ee homestead after moving a hay can research the for- a glacier running in a valley between two hills,” he says. “I's lined with cracks and deep crevasses that seem to be flowing to the river.” While preparing his his: tory. of the landslide, Van: Dine ‘found that’ Indian leg- ‘ends describe the landslide but make no mention ‘of its beginning. However, he says, Indian: artifacts and old‘ veg- etation buried: by the’ slide give clues to its age. Radio- carbon dating techniques in- dicate that the buried: arti- facts and vegetation are thousands of years old. » European settlers first be- came aware that the earth was moving in the Thompson Valley when they built wag- on trails and railroad tracks across the “toe,” or bottom, of the landslide. Gradually’ the roads and tracks were. pushed out of line and to- wards the river. Sir Mathew Begbie, B.C.’s first judge, wrote one of the early accounts of the land- slide in 1871, calling it a “dis- placed surface (that) seems to have moved painfully and. grindingly over the” subad- Jacent bedrock.” : For 100 years, the Drynoch Landslide was to’ spread polyethylene plas: : tic sheets over portions of the. slide to’ keep surface ‘ water from soaking into'the soil. Today, the slide has been. slowed to.almost a standstill at its ‘toe (where it. moves under the’ highway). Higher |: up, the, slide continues’ to: move ‘sporadically ‘in’ places’ at a rate of up to. three metres a‘ year. VanDine says the Drynoch Landslide hasn't dammed up the Thompson River over the years because much of the soil that slips into.the river: is‘ washed‘downstream. But - ‘he estimates the slide, grad-| ually ‘extending the river's east bank, has pushed thé river 500 metres to the west, iso the river: has eaten‘ away at its west bank. “This has been a problem ‘for the CNR, which built its | tracks close to the edge of the ‘west bank,” VanDine says. To stop the erosion of the west bank, CNR ‘engineers have lined it with “rip-rap” — huge boulders that act like a wall and stop water from washing against the: bank. Travellers looking for the find it to: éngine “aa” ne. breaking’ fiji Toads ‘and rail-. way .tracks. Finally, in the’ 1960s, ‘the B.C. Department of Highways undertook a large-scale attempt to brake the slide by cutting off its water supply. “Swamps were drained, creek beds were filled in, spring water was di- verted into another water- shed,” VanDine says. The engineers even went so far as est fire history of a neigh- borhood, assess the problem and talk about the adequacies of water and road systems.

A homemade way to get ready for the forest fire season that began April 15 has been written for rural livers on the backside of a ministry Forest Home Guide to Fire Safety brochure. It’s must reading wherever coun- try fire protection services are weak or slow to respond. It suggests that once the weather and chance of fire étres. south of Spences Bridge, on B.C. Highway 1. Could the Drynoch slide suddenly break loose one day and. plunge’ catastrophically into'the river? “Not likely,” says VanDine. “The chances of that happening while you're driving across the landslide are probably less than being hit by lightning.” Forest fire season again heat up, it’s good policy to activate ‘a nozzled garden hose for use in a real fire drill. A large barrel of water and pail could do the trick if pres- surized water is not avail- able. It’s also wise to have a long ladder nearby to gain access to roof tops and know how to swing a pulaski and work a shovel. Spring cleaning should ap- -ply to the removal of over- hanging trees, moss and needles from the house roof and doing a sweep of chim- neys and stove pipes. “ Meanwhile, for more infor- mation, visit or call the Ar-. row, District “Office at 365-8402, § eNO SHOTS @ NO DRUGS © NO CONTRACTS FRANCHISES AVAILABLE LOSE WEIGHT THE DIET CENTER PROGRAM IS .
