MAKING EYE CONTACT with this massive coin collection is Bobbi Byman, a
grade 11 student at Correlieu Senior Secondary school. Now that people are
becoming interested in the rising value of gold and silver, those who find those
costs prohibitive might do well to raid your piggybanks. It could be worth it.
Gold too expensive? Try your piggy bank
By Ruth Scoullar
Could it be that you have
much more in your piggy bank'
than you thought you had?
In the book Coins of Canada
by Haxby and Willey, it seems
that even certain pennies
could be worth considerably
more than one cent.
If you find a "53 penny with
a shoulder fold it could be
worth 60 cents to $1.00
depending on the condition. In
fact some of them up to the
year '64 could be worth as
much as $15 if uncirculated.
As there were fewer released
from the mint with no
shoulder fold evident between
'53 and '64 it makes them
more valuable.
A '55 Canadian one-cent
piece could bring $15 to $80
again depending on the condition.
A '67 Confederation
commemorative penny was
valued at 5 cents when this
book was written in 1972.
Then take a look at the
nickels. A Canadian 5 cent
issued in '53 with no shoulder
folds brings 15 cents to $2.75.
If you find a '53 nickel with
shoulder folds it is worth 25
cents to $5.00 depending
again on condition.
One of '54 is valued at 25
cents to $4.75 and a '55 piece
now brings 10 cents to $3.75 in
uncirculated condition.
Certain dimes too, are
worth taking a closer look at.
A '37 Canadian ten-cent piece
with the small date may be
worth from $1.75 to $15 and a
'47 dime with a maple leaf has
a value of 20 cents to $7.00.
With the scarcity > of '48
maple leaf dimes they are
worth $3.50 to $35 and those
issued between '49 and '52 net
20 cents to $3.50,
If no shoulder fold is found
on a '53 dime, 20 cents to
$3.50, and dimes issued '53
and '54 with folds bring 25
cents to $5.50, 15 cents to
$2.00 for '55 but slightly less
for the ones minted a year
later.
When the Canadian dimes
changed the silver content
an uncirculated '67 is now
worth 20 cents but a '53 dime
with shoulder fold is 40 cents
to $5.50, a '54 dime could be
worth 45 cents td $12 and a '55
ten cent piece with shoulder
fold may bring 40 cents to
$4.75.
Check your wallet and
dump out the piggy bank. You
may find out you're better off
than you thought you were.
Lawyers 'sell an unattractive product
9
By Gordon Hardy
"Our wrangling lawyers are
so....busy here on earth, that I
think they will plead their
clients' causes hereafter,
some of them in hell."-Robert
Burton
A prominent Vancouver
criminal defence lawyer,
fLAD. Oliver, once described
his line of work as "selling
a somewhat unattractive
product to 12 unwilling
purchasers."
The 12 "purchasers", of
course, are the jurors who
must judge his clients, some
of whom have been accused of
pushing hard drugs.
Oliver was one of ten top
national defence lawyers
identified by The Canadian
Magazine in an informal poll
of judges, lawyers and criminals
who were asked, "If you
were in big trouble - murder,
rape, heavy fraud, drug peddling
or whatever - who would
you get to defend you?"
If the legal profession had a
star system, Oliver, as well as
other successful criminal defence
lawyers, would be the
stars. They are the performers
whose courtroom eloquence
can make the difference
between a guilty and a
non-guilty verdict in cases
that hang in balance.
Of course, as with any other
performance, there are usual-
Septic tanks
by many hours of preparation
behind any courtroom, appearance,
though it may
appear effortlessly smooth.
People are often angry that
defence lawyers like Oliver do
such a good job at defending
criminals. Another Vancouver
defence lawyer, Rod Holloway,
explains how lawyers
themselves feel about defending
the guilty:
"A lawyer's job in the legal
system is not to judge his
client—that's the court's job,"
he says. 'They ensure that
the client gets the protection
of the law. The law says that
the duty falls to the Crown to
prove the case beyond a
reasonable doubt."
"Lawyers who do have
trouble giving their advice to
someone whose conduct may
be morally reprehensible
don't practice in those areas,"
he adds. "They choose something
else."
The defence lawyer's opponent
is the Crown prosecutor,
also a lawyer, whose
job is to organize the case
against the accused. Government
salaries for Crown prosecutors
are often lower than
earnings of a senior defence
lawyer so many prosecutors
tend to be young and less
experienced.
In tough cases, though, the
government may temporarily
hire older and more experienced
lawyers to act as Crown
prosecutors.
Even though Crown prosecutors
have a high conviction
rate, these often overworked
and understaffed public servants
somehow are denied the
glamor that mantles the
shoulders of a successful
defence lawyer. No one ever
cheered the district attorney
on the Perry Mason show.
Fernand Cote, a senior
Montreal Crown prosecutor
named in an informal poll as
one of Canada's top prosecutors,
told in an interview a
few years ago of a case where
a judge had forbidden him to
bring up the name of a Mafia
chief as a friend and helper of
three accused murderers.
Cote cleverly bypassed the
order by calling the Mafia
man as a witness. The gangster
never, appeared - and
probably wasn't intended to -
but the jury had not failed to
notice the connection. It convicted.
"It's funny," Cote' commented.
'The defence uses a
tactic like that and it's called
brilliance, but we use it, thev
Keep that system working
By Glen Smith
Public Health Inspector
Septic tanks are one of
those unmentionable things
that we don't like to think
about until something goes
wrong. Unfortunately, when
something does go wrong
with a sewage disposal system,
it can be a serious health
hazard as well as a headache.
Most people do not completely
understand the operation
of their sewage disposal
systems. Contrary to popular
belief, septic tanks do not
accomplish a very high level
of sewage treatment and do
not remove disease producing
bacteria and viruses.
The main purpose of the
septic tank is to condition
sewage by bacterial action to
reduce (not prevent) clogging
of the disposal field. The
purpose of the disposal field is
to distribute the treated sewage
with reasonable uniformity
into the soil.
Most sewage disposal system
failures can be attributed
to clogging of drainfields.
Partial or complete clogging
of any drain field usually can
be expected after a period of
10 to 15 years. However, the
life of a sewage disposal
system may be much shorter
in areas of poor soil porosity
or where septic tank
maintanance is neglected.
Most premature sewage
disposal system failures can
be avoided by having a septic
tank cleaning firm remove
accumulated sludge every two
or three years. This small
investment could save a great
deal of grief and hundreds of
dollars.
Here are a few tips for the
efficient operation of your
sewage disposal system:
•Don't allow any vehicular
traffic over any part of the
disposal system.
•Don't permit roof water,
storm water, surface water or
foundation drainage to discharge
into the tank or onto
the disposal field.
•Don't use substitutes for
toilet paper. Paper towels,
newspapers and wrappings
may cause blockages and may
not break down in the septic
tank.
•Normal usage of disinfectants
and bleach will not affect
the operation of the septic
tank. However, excessive usage
of these compounds
should be avoided.
•Maintain a healthy lawn
over the disposal field. .
•In winter encourage a
snow blanket over the disposal
field.
•Sludge sticking to the
inside of a tank that has just
been pumped out has a
seeding effect and assists in
renewing the bacterial activity.
Therefore, do not scrub
the tank clean.

call it dirty."
A Vancouver Crown prose-'
cutor, Armand Petronio, says
he prefers prosecution to
defending clients because it
allows him to see more to the
interests of justice than to the
specific interests of a client.
"A defence counsel's task is
to get his client off the hook,"
he says. "But a prosecutor can
look at the whole picture. He
decides whether to go ahead
with the prosecution, or whether
to drop the charges or
get a stay of proceedings."
Trial lawyers, Holloway says,
have a very irregular lifestyle
due to their work: "Something
is always happening to
prevent a regular kind of life.
You have to interview witnesses
at odd hours. You work
through your weekends."
He says lack of a regular
social life and recreation
means that some lawyers seek
relaxation in bars and lounges.
A number develop alcohol
problems.
In order to avoid this and
other inconveniences, many
lawyers avoid the practice of
criminal law. Some choose
instead to become "house" or
corporation lawyers. No
L.
glamor here but good money,
regular hours and clean work.
As business life and government
fine print become
more complex, big companies
need more and more lawyers
to guide them through it.
According ,to John Wright,
general counsel for Canada
Permanent, company law has
other satisfactions:
"In company law, you see a
problem - and can often
prevent it - before it hatches,
whereas in private practice
you get the problem after it's
full-blown," he said in a 1976
interview.
Some lawyers serve clients
in the area of civil law. This is
the area of law that doesn't
involve criminal matters and
includes administering wills,
the purchase of property,
handling lawsuits for damages
and so on.
Other lawyers choose family
law over criminal law,
which may be like jumping
out of the frying pan into the
fire. Family law seems to
inflame passions like no other
area.
Vancouver Sun columnist
Marjorie Nichols recently
quoted a judge in this regard
as saying "if you see a lawyer
under police escort in the
province of Ontario, you can
safely bet your lunch money
that the lawyer probably is a
specialist in matters of the
family."

Women who are over 38
years old have a substantially
increased chance of delivering
children who are mentally
retarded, according to Professor
Stephen Wood, of the
department of medical genetics
at UBC.
Wood was,in Quesnel February
15 conducting a workshop
for Junior and Senior
Secondary Science teachers
during professional development
day. He spoke about,
disorders in chromosomes
which cause inherited human
defects.
Wood told the Observer
that women over 38 are more
likely to have children with
the mentally retarded defect
known as Down Syndrome.
"It is possible," said Wood,
"to diagnose the defect prenataliy
at 16 or 17 weeks of
gestation."
The disorder is caused by
an extra chromosome. . The
normal human has 46 chromosomes
but the victim of Down
Syndrome has 47.
"There is no known way of
preventing it. What we can do
By Cappy McKnight
Pro-life Society
Jim Girvin, president of the
• Quesnel Pro-Life Society,
opened the February meeting
with an interesting talk on
abortion.
He also explained that the
Pro-Life Society is a non-sectarian,
Non-profit society
whose members are dedicated
to upholding the dignity of
human life and reject the
anti-life philosophy which offers
death as a solution to
human problems. To help
people become aware of some
of the very serious consequences
of abortion, George
MacKenzie offered to investigate
the possibility of obtaining
films on abortion, infanticide,
child abuse and euthanasia
for viewing on the local .
T.V. station.
It was also decided to
participate in the annual trade
Fair as well as consider
participating in the Billy
Barker Days. A membership
and fund raising drive will
take place in the near future.
Those members accepting
positions on the executive
were: president - Jim Girvin;

is enable women over 38 to
obtain prenatal diagnosis if
they wish to do so," Wood
explained.
, But the diagnosis can only
be done in Vancouver, according
to the professor, where
there is an "ultra-sound"
facility at the Vancouver
General Hospital The diagnosis
takes about two weeks.
Fluids are taken from the
womb and cells are grown,
and studied.
Wood also discussed singlegene
defects. He said there
are three methods of inherited
defects. Either the parents
already have the defects
and transfer them, or normal
parents are carriers, or the
inherited defect is "sex linked"
such as hemophilia where
only males are affected.
"Parents with defects have
a 50 per cent chance of
producing a defective child,"
Wood said. "In the second
case we have normal parents
who are carriers of the same
recessive gene have a orie-infour
chance their child will be

"We all carry a certain
amount of recessive genes,"
he explained. "These genes
are capable of producing
disease. So if by chance a
couple who have the same
recessive gene marry each
other, there is a greater
chance of having a child with a
defect."
It was Wood's first visit to
Quesnel and he said he found
the teachers to be genuinely
interested in the topics he
discussed.

The Olympics it wasn't, but
good, entertaining fun it was.
The Quesnel Figure Skating
Club's Time Machine took
the audience back; in time
during the weekend to see
wme of the best acts of the
last 16 years of the club's ice
carnivals during the celebration
of the organization's 25th
!
Bimiversary.
The show had a delightful
array of. tiny clowns,
mischievous reindeer who
teased poor old Santa into fits,
and visits from such
well-known and varied characters
as the Beatles and the
full contingent of Snow
White's Seven Dwarfs.
The solo numbers which
appeared throughout the program
were performed with a
minimum of mistakes and
brought applause from the
audience.
Red-garbed Jean Koppari
; as the circus lady gave an
impressive performance, as
did Barb Smetaniuk in her
Lily Marlene number. The
auburn-haired Smetaniuk
dazzled the crowd in her
attractive green outfit ,with
jumps and spins done to a
pleasing choice of music.
Decked out in bright red
and white costumes the skaters
presented a stirringly
patriotic precision line program
with the flags of the
provinces and territories accompanying
the Maple Leaf in
a salute to Canada. ,"•
Club pro Barbi Koppa did a
solo skating performance,
with a smooth delivery and
featuring near-perfect spirals.
One of the most popular
acts of the whole evening
came with the boys performance
of their Mounted Police
number. With the assistance
of Quesnel RCMP Cst. Doug
Hadley in full dress uniform,
the boys skated through a
march drill and finished it all
off with a smart salute to
Hadley, a performance, the
audience loved
The girls performing in the
Salute to Expo arrangement
offered the crowd a well-timed,
precision-line performance,
one featuring straight
lines and synchronized movements.
Other performers, who
skated well in their solo
appearances were Tammie
Thibault as Miss Golden
Spike, Kim Bubenko as the
fairy tale, princess, Snow
White, and Tracy Lowery as
the Wicked Witch in the tale
of Sleeping Beauty.
Kim Legeard as Sleeping
Beauty and her Prince
Charming Leanne Doucette
also turned in solid,
crowd-pleasing performances.
Cindy Wong's astronaut,
dressed in space-age silver
also impressed the audience
with, cool, futuristic poise.
Guest skaters Bonnie Epp
and Leonard Austman
appeared twice in the program
to display the skating
style which earned the Western
Canadian novice pairs
title for them and a
second-place finish in the
recent Canadian competitions.
. In addition to that Epp and
Austman each. skated a solo
performance. Both experienced
slight miscues during their
performances, but still turned
in efforts which impressed
those present.

One of the highlights of the
25th annual Ice Carnival hosted
by the Quesnel Figure
Skating Club last weekend
was the appearance of the
Western Canadian Novice
Pairs Champions of 1980.
Bonnie Epp and Leonard
Austman were in Quesnel as
guest skaters at the local ice
show.
Fourteen-year old Epp has
been skating for nine years,
while Austman, 19, has been
performing for 12 years. The
pair have been skating together
for six months and in that
time have captured the Western
Canadian title in their
division and placed second in
the Canadians in Kitchener,
Ontario, last month.
The skaters also compete
mdividually in their respective
singles classes.
Preparation for both does
not come without some commitment
on the part of the
skaters. Epp explained that to
get ready for competition
they would spend 42 hours
per week learning, practicing,
polishing the material they
present to the judges.
In addition to the time
spent practicing on the ice,
Epp and Austman also exercise
and jog to keep in top
physical condition to meet the
rigors imposed on them by
their sport.
The exercises they do at
home are for both flexibility
and strength. Epp supplements
these workouts with
ballet and Austman does
weight-training.
It took about three weeks
to put together the program
they skated at the Canadians
and another four months to
polish their performance.
During that time the pair
continued to alter the pattern
and smooth things out.
"We're always adding little
moves here and there,"
Austman explained.
"We keep working on new
things," Epp added, "and
every time we get a new move
then we put that in."
They do not limit themselves
to only learning and
perfecting a single program.
Instead, they work on two
different presentations in
pairs and two for their
individual singles events, as
well as two short programs
for pairs and also for singles, a
total of six programs each.
Despite the complexities of
these programs, the skaters
say they do not get confused
or mix the program contents
up.
Epp and Austman skate out
of different winter clubs. A
native of Abbotsford, Epp
now skates out of the North
Shore Winter Club and Austman,
who is originally from
Yorkton, Sas., practices at
Hollyburn Country Club.
"We skate at both clubs,"
Austman explained their getting
together as a pairs
combination. The duo skate
under the watchful eyes of
Brian Power and Rob Dick.
Skating in the Canadian
championships was an experience
both of them appreciate,
although they admitted the
pressure was greater than
anything they had experienced
previously.
Epp recalled that she was ill
with the flu on the day they
competed in the national
championships in Kitchener.
Despite that the pair managed
to nail down second spot in
the competitions.
Although their future is not
clear, Austman admitted the
pair would remain ' skating
together, "for a while, anyway."
DEATH SPIRAL. Leonard Austman lowers Bonnie Epp down into a stunningly low death
spiral during one of their appearances in the 25th annual Ice Carnival hosted by the Quesnel
Figure Skating Crab last weekend. Epp and Austman are the reigning Western Canadian
Do well in zones
Novice Pairs Champions and placed second in the Canadian championships last month. The
pair, as guest skaters for the carnival, delighted audiences Friday and Saturday evening with
their pairs and individual programs. More photos on page 13.
Skiers get crack at provincials
Quesnel Junior Secondary
school girls and the Correlieu
Senior Secondary school boys
cross-country ski teams will
be participating in the B.C.

Arm March 7-8.
The two teams earned the
right to a berth in the
provincials February 20 when
they competed in the South
Central Zone high school
Championships at Barkerville.
The QJS girls finished first
in the four-team girls division
over second-place 100 Mile
House Junior Secondary,
posting a total of 40 points to
32 points by 100 Mfle. In third
spot overall were the Correlieu

were tied for second with 27
points each. Behind them with
26 points was the QJS boys
team. 100 Mile House posted
16 points, Maple Drive had 13
points and Mackenzie scored
11 points.
Correlieu's Paul van Donkelaar
was first in the boys
individual five-kilometer race
with a time of 19:54. In second

27:02 respectively.
As a result of the individual
lip
finishes among the 40 male
competitors, Columneetza finished
first, followed by WLJS,
Correlieu, 100 Mile House,
Maple Drive and Mackenzie,
after the five-kilometer race.
Monica Ely of Quesnel,
skiing as an independent, was
the fastest girl finisher with a
time of 24:37 over the five

of QJS was second with
her 26:26 time, followed by
teammate Dori Martz at
28:43.
Tammy Walker of 100 Mile

while QJS's Monica Vinje
finished with a time of 29:21.
In sixth spot was Correlieu's
Wendy van Donkelaar at
30:07.
Next was Cheryl Scuffi of
100 Mile House in a time of
31:33, with Shelly Pastachak
of Correlieu coming in at
31:50. Teresa Sanderson of
NOT GUILTY, Quesnel Millionaires Ed Sankey seems to be saving as he watches an

QJS finished first, followed by
100 Mile House, Correlieu and
Mackenzie.
For the boys relay, each
team consisted of four skiers,
each of whom did a 2.5
kilometer loop. Finishing first
was the squad from Columneetza,
consisting of Ken
Mervin, Forest Linde, Brad
Fawcett and Bruce Butcher.
Paul van Donkelaar, Tim
Bellmond, Lawrence Knopp
and Terry Bodner made up
the second place finishing
team from Correlieu and the
QJS contingent of Eric Frank,
Gary Jennings, Tony Fiala
and Danny Gibbons was third.
WLJS was fourth, 100 Mile
House fifth and Maple Drive
came sixth, trailed by seventh
spot finishers, Mackenzie.
Monica Vinje, Dori Martz
and Erin FincQay made up the
first place team of QJS in the

SIDELINES
by
Jo-anne Jefferson
I thought the age of heroes was dead, but the way things
have been going these last few weeks, it looks like I've been
dead wrong. And I couldn't be more pleased.
The Olympics have always had winners, and in some cases
even champions, although the two are not necessarily
synonymous. But true sports heroes are rare and their
appearance on the scene definitely the exception rather than
the rule.
With the true sports hero, the personality of the individual
does not have to have mass public appeal. He does not have to
be liked, but it helps. One thing that cannot be denied,
however, is the ability of the hero, because he has proven
himself beyond doubt.
One could say Gordie Howe is a sports hero, or Hank Aaron.
You could probably even say Muhammed Ali and Pele were'
sports heroes. And I don't think you would be too far wrong if
you were to add the name Eric Heiden to that list.
In the last week or more at the Lake Placid Olympics, the
American speedskater has done for his sport what Nadia
Comaneci did for gymnastics, Bruce Jenner did for track and
field and Karen Magnussen did for figure skating. He has
brought it into the public eye.
But Heiden has done more than win medals and break world
records. He has easily become the most talked-about performer
at the 1980 Winter Games. The media constantly refer to him as
the superman on skates, and the ironman and the machine.
Those titles are fine in one sense, but they tend to remove
the humanness of Eric Heiden. The thing that has impressed
me almost as much as his gold medal performances is the way
he admits toj>ain.
Winning hurts and it doesn't come without resisting the
inevitable pain of the effort. More often than anything else it is
an athlete's inability to meet the pain of exertion and overcome
it that causes defeat rather than the abilities of opponents.
Heiden seems to have learned the best way to master his pain
and come out the winner. Because of that he has earned the
respect of his fellow competitors and the awe of those who
watch him perform.
And so far, because he has not made himself readily available
to the public via the various forms of media, Heiden has
somehow been elevated even higher than the top part of the
winner's podium. He is well on his way to becoming an
American hero.
^.....;
What the heck, I think he deserves it. I've enjoyed
him skate on the telecasts and thought, not without^Rn^
wistfulness, wished that I could be attending the Games to' ste
it happening.
If Heiden can be a hero to folks, all the better; Heroes serve' a
useful purpose. They give us something to believe in in these
days of uncertainty. They give us something to look up to, and
hopefully, they endure in this throw-away society we live in
today.
And, if Heiden turns out to have feet of clay, there's always
another idol just waiting to be discovered somewhere.
There always is.

Blazers dumped 7- 2
Peewee tourney slated
Don't count Quesnel out of race
Early predictions are calling
Fort St. John as the team
to beat in the fourth annual
Quesnel Minor Hockey association
peewee house tournament,
but don't count the two
Quesnel representatives out
of the running either.
The Fort St. John peewees
will be the defending champions
when they play in the six
team, round-robin event slated
for March 29 and 30.
Quesnel will have two
teams representing the city in
the event, boys selected from
the QMHA peewee house
league. The two teams, Weldwood
and Keis Trucking will
join the squads from Vanderhoof,
Williams Lake and 100
Mile House, as well as the
defending Fort St. John entry.
Wayne Broussear will be
coaching the Weldwood team
with Don Gook as manager.
Al Scholpp will be the assistant
coach to Darryl McCaw,
head pilot for Keis Trucking.
Len Doerksen is the manager
of the club.
Local businesses have donated
trophies, medals and
various other supports to the
event.
The teams from Quesnel
were selected from lists of
four definite players and four
alternate players drawn up by
the house league coaches. The
boys were invited to try out
for the house rep teams and
through the process of elimination,
the coaches formulated
their rosters.
Weldwood has a few skaters
who could be expected to
turn in good performances.
Kyle Lorentson, Rodney
Dallman, Rob Clarke and
George Bell are all players
Brousseau will be counting on
to help out.
Rene Gagnon, Rob Kolody,
Kevin Mulloch and Kevin
Moore are players in the Keis
lineup that McCaw and
Scholpp should be expecting
solid performances from.
Harold Swanson is the
co-ordinator of the tournament,
with Carl Kolody as his
assistant. Glen Delwisch will
be this year's referee-in-chief.
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Mulloch are
in charge of arranging billets
for the out-of-town players.
If players remember -the
end of a season better than
the first part, it would be safe
to say the 100 Mile House
Blazers will , associate fourpoint
games and the name
Greg Moore.
For the second time in as
many encounters with the
Blazers, the Quesnel Millionaires
left winger has accumulated
four points in a single
,.; game.
Moore scored three goals
Wednesday and assisted on
one other to pace the Mil-
' lionaires to a 7-2 win over the
visiting Blazers before a sparse
hometown crowd.
1
Bryan Dumaine, Kevin
Lust, Mike Enemark and Rich
Odiorne all scored singles to
round out the 'Millionaires
goal-getting.
Greg Aiken and Albert
Anthony replied for the Bla-
' zers. •
The meager crowd of fewer
than 100 people saw the
Millionaires open up a threegoal
'alead after the first 20
minutes of play. ' ,
Moore scored first with a
powerplay goal at 4:33 of the
premier stanza. Between that
time and the second goal of
the game, a backhander off
thestick of Dumaine, the play
of both clubs leaned to the
ragged side.
Quesnel's third goal was
scored by Lust when he slid
the puck into the net under
Blazers' goaltender John Gar- '_

Brigade smokes
snow competition
Nine teams took part in the
snowball tournament held in
Wells last weekend with the
Wells Volunteer Fire Brigade
Smoke Eaters burning up the
competition and emerging as
the top squad.
Their toughest opposition
came from the Likely-Hydraulic
Lifters who ousted the
Wells Gogetters, who finished
fourth, and the third place
Cottonwood Wool Socks on
their way to the finals.
Snowball is really soft ball in
the snow. The game is played
with regulation slow pitch
rules, but alterations have
been made.
For example, teams field a
total of 13 players instead of
the regular nine and five of
those must be of the opposite
sex. The batting order is
double its normal length,
being 18 rather than the usual
nine.
The use of "exotic equipment's
permitted and this
includes everything but
snowmobiles. A number of
this year's competitiors made
use of snowshoes while others
employed fish nets and a
variety of other non-softball
equipment.
The organizers of the annual
event were pleased with the
tournament turnout, although
a conflict of scheduling with
the Mardi Gras in Prince
George resulted in two teams
dropping out of the competition.

House Blazers' Darryl Canning.
•
Anthony made no mistake
when he forced the Quesnel
defense to cough up, the puck
and set up a breakaway. The
Blazers* player showed a lot of
authority when he cruised in
,". on Heppner and blasted the
puck into the mesh for his
team's second notcher.
Before the game's play was
completed, Odiorne scored on
a set-up from Ron Halvorsen
and Lust at 17:02 and Moore
finished off the scoring for the
winners at 18:26.
Blazers' coach Terry Moore
labours under no false im-
pressions about his team and
their abilities, but he still
expresses cautious optimism.
""We're weak, no doubt
about that," Moore said, "but
we do reasonably well for the
talent we've got."
Moore admitted the administration
was hoping the club
would be stronger this year
than it is, but cited injuries to
players and a iess-than-perfect
affiliation with Merritt
for players as two of the
reasons why the Blazers have
turned into the PCJHL's
weak sister.
Their hopes for improvement,
however, will not necessarily
come from recruited
players. The administration is
hoping for local midgets to fill
in some of the blank spaces
this year's club has had.
'We've got a good midget
club this year in 100 Mile and
the peewees are strong too, so

should do okay," Moore said.
The Blazers' pilot felt his
team did not perform poorly
against the Millionaires in
their 7-2 loss.
"If we'd had some better
breaks in the first and second
period around the net," Moore
concluded, "it might have
been different, who knows."
Quesnel's coach, Wayne Inglis,
was not overly impressed
with the game.
„"It was just a typical 100
Mile-Quesnel game," Inglis
commented, "and I didn't
think it was that interesting a
game to watch."
Inglis did say that he
thought Garcia played well for
the Blazers in net.
"It's not just 100 Mile,"
Inglis explained, "it's just that
not everyone was ready to
play. It was just one of those
games."
While the Millionaires are
playing through one of their
less impressive seasons according
to the win-loss column
of the club, one of the club's
veterans feels the team has
been performing respectably.
Bryan Dumaine, in his third
season with the Millionaires,
talked about this year's young
club. • -
"It's not too bad for the
amount of young guys," Dumaine\replied
when queried
about his feelings oh the
season. He feels it is difficult
to say how the team will do
come playoff time but thinks if
they can continue to play the
way they have lately they
should do well.
The leading scorer for the
Millionaires thinks everyone
including the rookies of the
"squad should hold up under
the playoff pressures.
, "Everyone should be used
to playing in the league now,"
Dumaine said, "so it shouldn't
be too different in playoffs."
Dumaine admitted it was "a
little hard" to get up for a
game against the cellar-dwelling
Blazers, but also noted
the team should not* be taken
lightly.

Battery neglect
increases calls
The British Columbia Automobile
Association has found
that 50 percent of their
Emergency Road Service calls
in 1979 were due to neglected
batteries, even those that are
low-maintenance or servicefree.
Leaving lights on as well as
Moose or defective alternator
; belts and battery cables are
the main causes of battery
failure for all types of batter-
! ies.
- Winter, with its bad weather
and low temperatures,
creates more demands on
your car's battery. To make
sure you get a charge out of
your battery, follow a regular
maintenance schedule that
includes battery care.
A battery that does not
crank the engine over does
not necessarily mean a batter
that has to be replaced.
In winter, not only will a
battery require more energy
for starting, but with cold,
foggy days and early darkness,
operating the heater and
lights will create an additional
drain of energy.
A lot of stalled cars with
low battery voltage, however,
require only a simple battery
recharging at a relatively low
cost. In addition, cold weather
1 causes the battery's efficiency
to drop. ,
If a fully-charged battery
. operates at top efficiency at
; 25 degrees Celcius, it would
• only operate at about 65
•percent efficiency at 0 de-
" grees.
These are some of the
- reasons why it is even more
crucial in winter to inspect
fluid level regularly, keep the
battery free of acid corrosion
build-up, and make sure cable
connections and hold-down
clamps are tight and clean.
One of the main causes of
conventional battery failure is
. not adding water when needed.
Battery fluid consists of a
• solution of sulfuric acid and
! water called electrolyte.
The only way to lose the
sufuric acid portion is by
spillage or leakage, so make
sure your battery hold-down
• clamps are neither too loose—
.'which could allow the battery
to shift, or too tight—which
could crack the battery case.
The water portion of the
solution in conventional batteries,
however, is subject to
normal evaporation.
So, at least once a month,
check the level of the electrolyte
in the battery and if low,
add water (distilled is best,
but OJK. to use clean tap
water.
Before starting your check,
remember that the electrolyte
solution as well as the gases it
produces, which extend outside
the battery case, are
highly combustible.
Don't bring sparks or open
flames, lighted cigarettes, or
any other tire source near the
battery.
Also, be extremely careful
with watches or jewelry, such
as bracelets, rings, etc., near
the battery; they are all
capable of shorting out and
could cause injury. Safety
glasses are also recommended.
; To check the fluid level,
bring the car to a well-ventilated
area and turn the engine
off. Remove the battery vent
caps (conventional battery)
and examine each of the cells
separately. The fluid should
be filled just above the tops of
the plates, but not to the
brim. If the electrolyte
(liquid) in a cell is low, fill to
the "ring" of its filler .well, but
no further, with distilled
water or clean tap water.
Be careful not to splash the
electrolyte containing acid on
to your skin or clothing.
Should this happen, immediately
wash off the liquid with
a solution of 2 ounces of
baking soda to one litre of
water.
Always wash your hands
thoroughly after working
around a car battery before
touching anything. Should the
electrolyte get in your eyes,
DO NOT rub the eyes. Flush
the eyes immediately with
generous amounts of water,
then a one-percent solution of
baking soda and water, and
call your doctor.
Overfilling a battery can
cause the electrolyte to bubble
over. Since the fluid is
very corrosive, it will cause
white acid deposits around
the terminals. Remember that
the electrolyte can corrode
metal parts and also affect
your car's finish—so be extra
careful when working with
the battery.
Many new batteries have side
posts designed for less maintenance.
These types should
still be inspected regularly.
Whether you have this type
or the more conventional
variety, if corrosion is built
up on the battery case, tray,
or hold-down clamps, clean
them thoroughly.
This can be .done with a
mixture of four tablespoons of
baking soda in a litre of water.
Use this solution to clean the
battery case, tray, and holddown
clamps.
Be sure to avoid any
possibility of getting any of
this washing solution in the
cells by sealing off the holes in
the battery caps. Replace any
missing or damaged caps.
Clean off normal dirt and
grease with detergent.
Afterwards, rinse the battery
with water and dry with a
clean cloth or paper towels. If
necessary, paint tray and
clamps with acid-resistant
paint (do not paint the terminals).
It is also a good idea to
make sure you are getting the
maximum charge by cleaning
and inspecting the cables.
Remove the ground cable
(negative) first, then the
positive one (use a battery
cable puller, don't pry or hit),
and clean each post and
terminal with a battery brush.
Then reconnect first the positive
cable, then the negative
one, making sure they are .
tight.
If the cables have worn
insulation, broken wire
strands, or loose or damaged
connectors, replace them. After
tightening, cover the posts
and terminals with petroleum
jelly, or a special conductive
grease. Be sure the battery
hold-down clamps are snug.
Check battery fluid level at
least monthly and keep the
battery free from acid corrosion
build up. Make sure cable
connections and hold-down
clamps are clean and tight,
and your battery should give
you the best of service.
One last reminder: When
you park, be sure your car
lights are turned off!

A personal tragedy resulted
in Adelaide Hoodless forming
the first Women's Institute
in Stoney Creek Ontario
in 1897 to provide women
with "a better knowledge of
home economics and child

Now, 83 years later, Women's

In Quesnel the ladies conducted
a display and information

impure milk, vowed to raise
the quality of home life
through every means possible.

The Women's Institute,
which was established in this
area more than 35 years ago,
currently boasts about 50
members.
These ladies support the
Vancouver Children's Hospital,
which was started through
the efforts of the Vancouver
Women's Institutes, with donations
of sewing, books and
toys as well as money. They
also donate their services to
local hospitals in the same
fashion.
The Queen Alexandria Solarium,

also one of their projects as
are bursaries for graduating
students of Women's Institute
members.
The group, which meets
monthly, is designed to be
non-partisan, non-sectarian

all women interested in the
promotion of better living.
Locally the members work to
establish an education program

weeks at the producer level
were relatively stable with a
very slight dip occurring the
week ending January 25 but
recovering immediately the
following week. The Beef
Component of the Vancouver
Average Basket Price was
down slightly by 1.42 percent
which was largely the result
of advertising of some roast
cuts.
Overall slaughter of steers,
heifers, calves and cows for
1980 is forecast to be down as
stocks are rebuilt. Steer cattle
numbers for slaughter will
remain low following smaller
calf crops of the last two
years. As a result, prices will
generally stay at levels
experienced over the past
year but short term (one to
six weeks) increases or decreases
in slaughter could
result in intermittent price
dips and peaks respectively.
The Fresh Fruit Component
of the Vancouver Average
Basket Price rose 11.9 percent
over the four weeks. This was
largely the result of price
advances for bananas and to a
lesser extent oranges. The
increases that these items
contributed to the Fruit Component
was moderated by the
advertising and price reduction
of grapefruit.
The Egg Component advanced
12 percent as a result
of returning regular prices
following heavy advertising
four weeks ago. Also, producer
prices advanced three
cents a dozen on large, one
cent a dozen on medium and
three cents a dozen on small
fcSSO
effective January 4 which was
reflected at retail stores oyer
the past three weeks.
The Processed Fruit Component
of the Vancouver
Average Basket Price in-.
creased 4.25 percent as a
result of manufacturers prices
advancing on canned fruit
cocktail and some sizes of
apple juice..
The Processed Vegetable
Component of the Vancouver
Average Basket Price recorded
an increase of 4.23 percent
due to price increases on
canned pork and beans.
The Poultry Component has
seen wide fluctuation over the
past four weeks with frozen
frying chicken prices ranging
from a low of 68-69 cents a ib.
, for supplies obtained from
prairie provinces to $1.29 -
$1.39 a Ib. for regular product.
While B.C. inventories are
not excessive there have been
some build-up nationally
which was sold at very low
COSt.
• '
The Other Foods Component
advanced 257 percent,
. which was largely the result
of continuing rapid price
increases for granulated sugar.
