Mothers’ Marchaeeds your help The annual Kinsmen Mothers’ March, held this year from Jan. 27 to Feb. 2, is a great volunteer effort by individuals in all com- muaities throughout British Columbia to help the physically disabled of the province. It is the main source of funds that enables the Kinsmen Rehabilitation Foundation of B.C. to continue its twenty-five year tradition - of caring for the physically handicapped; and, . for thousands of volunteers who give a little of their time each year to call on their _- neighbours, it is a major expression of support for the KRF’s activities. The participation of volunteers is vital to its success. . You can share in this tradition of caring; and give solid and invaluable support by becoming a volunteer marcher in your own neighbourhood in the I980 Kinsmen Mothers’ March. If you want to help, please contact your local Kinsmen or Kinette Club. Your help is needed more than ever this year. ,Downers and driving The effects of drinking and driving have In a Norwegian hospital study ’conducted been extensively publicized. in Oslo, significant amounts of Valium were But what about tranquilizers and driving? found in the serum of 11 per cent of people in- Tranquilizers are one of the most widely jured in traffic accidents.

Perhaps’these people believe in the idea of “perpetual summer ” .

Even when that highway is dry, it can be treacherous and with a few inches of snow, it becomes doubly so. We remind drieers there are heavy penalties for driving without proper snow tires.

Edilor. The Times: For many years, on and off, I have been an Industrial First Aid Attendant in B.C. It is a profession that has given me a great deal ’ of personal satisfaction, as well as. providing me with my livelihood. First Aid is a giving profession, one where helping one’s fellow man is of prime importance. True enough, th&e are those in the field whose reason for becoming First Aid Attendants is for the money, hut until recently these people have been in the minority. It is disturbing to see that In- dustrial First Aid training is now an open field. For many years it was undertaken by he Industrial Fist Aid Attendants Association of B.C. and SI. John Ambulance. In 1962, the Industrial First Aid Attendants Association withdrew from the training field, and St. John Ambulance was the sole traininp body. St. John Ani- bulance has an impressive world- wide record of training people 10 provide aid to the injured. dustrial First Aid Service Regulations have, insured that B.C. will continue to have a high standard of First Aid.

Wolves kill only what they need, in most cases the prey is young, old or sick. The mortality rate in this group is high anyway due to natural death causes and the role of the wolf is to “cull” these animals, in- suring the survival of the strongest and therefore the best breeding stock. As a rule, wolves are not able to catch or bring down a healthy, full-grown animal. Former agriculture minister Cyril Shelford has blamed the decline of B.C.’s wildlife population on the wolf and other predators. His answer to this is the poisoning program. He claims the B.C. Wildlife branch is no longer capable of game management because the uninformed. public, who disagree with this program, is causing interference by postpon- ing it with its protests. Admittedly, there are declining animals, any of them, disappear from this province. So let’s put the blame where it belongs, not on the wolf, but on the greatest predator of all, man. Man hasgone thugh the ages systematically destroying everything around him. He has polluted the sky and the water and destroyed the land. Conservationists now are trying to salvage something fiom all this destruction. It must also be considered that many other predators will be destroyed while this poisoning imilers-for-Sale- Of[ers will be received until 2:OO p.m. PST January 28, 1980 for the purchase of two trailer bunk houses tocated on British Columbia Railway property at Pemberton.
