B.C. forestry authorities
have confirmed persistent
rumors of a one-eyed giant
inhabiting a forest near
Duncan on Vancouver
Island. Reports of a snorting,
smoke-belching cyclops
roaming a one and a half
mile area north. ot the city
can no longer be kept a quiet
local matter, they said.

Almost . 40,000 rellable
citizens reported sightings
last: year. Eye-witnesses
speak of a "pungent odor”.
and “ear splitting shrieks”.
“The .’ ground .- actually
trembled. when. it ap-
proached,’’ recalls one,

But not to worry. All such
encounters were definitely of
the friendly kind. That's
because this one-eyed beast
is a chunky. old steam
locomotive rumbling over
one and a'’ half miles of
narrow guage track at
Duncan’s 50-acre’ outdoor
Forest Museum. What yeu
sniff in the air is only steam
brewing in her old black
boiler, and the din ig an ‘‘all-
aborad!"’ whistle welcoming
another load of. passengers
on a chug through ‘the
meadows and shady lanes of
this unique woodland
museum.

From May through Sep-
tember, the gates are open to
this largest collection of old-
time logging machinery in
western Canada. Ita

_ Navajo. medicine men

- Jearn modern science: —

SHIPROCK, N.M. (AP) —
Several years ago, a woman
prominent in Indian affairs
look sick. Doctors on the
Navajo reserve cotld not
cure her, nor could doctors
at Mayo Clinic, But a
medicine man did.

Few peopie familiar with
Navajo life belittle the
curative powérs of the
medicine man. Most have
seen numerous instances
when they have done what

lhe white man's medicine
could not. 2 ee ep >

“For these people it
works,” said Dr, James
Schofield of the Association
of American Medical
Colleges. “In that culture,
with their sense of values,
that’s OK.”’

New brew won't
draw any flies

By PETER HERNON
ST. LOUIS (AP) — You
can’t convince . Bill
Leimkuehler that today's
beer, golden bright and light
of taste, compares with the
sweeter, heavier brew of his
youth. It does not draw flies,
And you can't tell Harry
Qbert, whose grandfather
once owned a flourishing
brewery in this old river city
hard by the Mississippi, that
his rugged German an-
cestors would have approved
of the modern beer barons,
“If the old brewmasters
could come out of their
graves and taste today’s
beer, they'd go right back
in,”’ Obert says.
Leimkuehler and Obert,
both in their late 70s,
remember when U.S.’ beer
was more full bodied, when
the snap of the barley hung
ona mustache like a trace of
morning shaving cream.
Leimkuehler said that in
the old days, the flies would
hover around a glass of beer
ona warm summer's eve. No
more, ‘The flies don’t come
near the stuff, and Til tell
you something, maybe
they’ve got more sense than
we do.” : ;
_ Leimkuehler ‘and Obert
represent beer past. What of
beer present?
DRINK MORE BEER
Statistics from the U.S.
Brewers Association in-
dicate that U.S. residents are
quaffing increasing uantities
of beer. Consumption in 1976

was a record 150.8 million -

barrels, or about 22 gallons
for every man, woman and
child. _
Thecountry, it seems, is in
the midst of a-beer boom,
Philip Katz, an association

research execulive, said
sales have increased
steadily for a generation.

Experts say part of the
recent popularity of beer is

_ due.to the success of the new

light beers, aimed mostly at
women wary of bulging
midriffs and young adults
wary of anything un-
sweetened. .

'-““"The soda-pop generation
has grown up, but when they
tried beer, they found it too
bitter for. their tastes," said
Andrew Steinhubl, a brewing
executive for Anheuser-

. Buseh’ Inc.,. the largest
brewer in the’ United States,

“Consequently, they'v

switched to the new light.

beers in large numbers.”

No one would dispute that’
European beer is sterner

stuff. Steinhubl says a scale
that meastires ‘bitter units”
shows that several Bavarian
brands are three times more
bitter than their U.S.

. counterparts.

MOST ARE LAGERS

Most U.S. beersare lager's,
meaning ready to store.
They are generally mild,
light,nrelatively low — in
calories, Steinhubl said. But
they are not the last word on
the beer bandwagon.

There is ‘also ale, porter
and stout. Ale, a bit racier
than lager, is much more
bitter; porter is a sweeter
variety of ale, so dark il is
almost black; Irish stout is

[t's acquired in some
supernatural way. You know
when you get it and you know
when it's yours to use to
benefit your fellow man.”

Often, bul not always, it is
a family trait, passed down
through the generations, and
mastered over a lifetime.
The learning begins when
boys not yet into their teens
make the rounds with the
fathers and grandfathers or
an older medicine man with
whom they have been sent to
live, Observing the elder, the
young man begins to learn
the song, chants and rituals
that may take him half his
life to master.

TWO TYPES

There are two types of
medicine -man: one who
diagnoses illnesses and one
who cures them at a.‘‘sing”’
of one, three, five, seven or
nine days’ duration. Within
those specialties are other
medicine--men.- who ‘have
mastered @ particular skill,
or “way” designed to cure

poe

specific-illnesses, 2)

To illustrate, a Navajo be-
cumes sick and. a
diagnostician’ is called ‘to
delermine the cause of the
illness. For each cause,
there is a healing ritual, and
a medicine man must. be
found who knows that par-
ticular ritual.

Then comes the sing,
usually a public ceremony
that lasts for the duration
prescribed by the new
medicine man, whe is-called
a “singer,” It is a chant
accompanied by dancing to
the beat of a drum. Food and
drink for the spectators, all
of whom Navajo lore holds
will benefit. from
ceremuny, is provided by the
family of the sick Navajo.

Most non-Indians whe
respect the powers of the
medicine man speculate that
it is mast often effective in
treating .psychosumatic
illnesses. Others say that
many illnesses, like fevers,

_ cure themselves.

But. many physicians
familiar with Navajo life
regard it in much the same
way as one young’ Indian
Health Service ductor: '']
don't really know what
they're dying or why they’re
doing il. Bul. I’ve seen
enough people cured that I'm
not going te put it down."
