Mysterious Force Spreads .
Through Trailer

CENTRAL BUTTE, Sask.
(CP)-Afarm family, fleeing
the effects ofa mystery farce
they believe killed the family
cat and budgie, has moved to
a mobile home near this
town, about 95 kilometres
north of Moose Jaw. .

“This thing has got fo be
stopped before it spreads
further,’ said Fred Brad-
ford, 69.°

"TI am a rational man and
wouldn't have spent
thousands of dollars on a
traile like this unless |
though? it was. necessary,”
he said. ‘But I think the
thing is speading daily. You
can smell it. It is in clothes,
in vehicles, everywhere.”

“If it can kill our budgie
and our cat, how do. we know
we are safe,” said Alice,
Bradford's 67-year-old wife.

The family moved to the
mobile home aiter they, and
government officials, could
find no explanation for bouts
of mausea, dizziness,
headaches, burning of the
lips and a tightening feeling
in the chest.

Mrs. Bradford said she
was the first to experience
the strange phenomenon.
“It was last fall, it just
gripped me tight. I had no
idea what was happening.”

Later, her husband, and
their sons, Cecil and Mel,
reported similar ex-
periences. ’

The couple later reported a
minor earth tremor or shock
wave on their property,
mysteriously broken trees,
and other trees apparently
burned and dying.

Birds, which normally
flocked to the spruce and
seotch pine trees on the
farm, were reported to. be
avoiding the area. so

“IT spent about $1,000
checking for everything 1
thought might be respon-
sible," said the farmer. “I
had all kinds of appliances
stripped and checked.

“And then I called in the
authorities. They tell me
their investigations have
cost about $10,000,

The provincial Emergency
Measures Organization,

provincial departments of |

environment, labor, and
health and the Saskatchewan
Power Corp., are completely
baffled by the events.

They have checked for gas
leaks, power disruptions,
tadiation, -pegticides, in-
secticides, herbicides and
have taken soil, water and
air samples. Bradford said
he has used no insecticide on
the farm for about one year.

“I've never experienced
anything like this since I've
been director of the EMO,”
said Jim Eaton, an
Emergency: Measures
Organization official,

Col. David Tate, com-

. mander of Canadian Forces

Base Moose Jaw, said there
have been no reports of
unidentified flying objects in
the area,

Man Mauled by Bear
~ Patched With Stitches

FORT NELSON, B.C.
(CP) — Italian bicyclist
Giorgio Mazza, mauled and
dragged into the bush by a
black bear last Saturday,
blew out 40 candles Friday
‘ona cake baked by nurses at
Fort Nelson General
Hospital as 10 nurses sang
“Happy Birthday.”

Mazza was admitted to
hospital in serious condition
and received 300 stitches to
his head, arms and torso

after being attacked hy a~

black bear 190 kilometres
northwest of Ft. Nelson on
the Alaska Highway.

Now he's back on the
road— to recovery—and the
bitthday party Friday
marked another event: The
200 stitches which patched

together his tattered scalp

were removed and he may
be released in a week. -

Dr. Tony Kenyon said
when paramedics arrived at

the scene by helicopter

Mazza had fo pulse or blood
pressure. He was given a
blood transfusion on the spot
and admitted to hospital
three hours after the in-
cident.

Mazza, an avid cyclist who
had cycled from Acnhorage
to Whitehorse last year, was
finishing his Alaska High-
way trip between Whitehorse
and Dawson Creek when he
was attacked.

He dismounted when ‘he
saw the bear—a strategy he
employs when attacked by
dogs but the bear attacked,
grabbing him by the back of
the neck and dragged him 30
metres off the road and
through a barbed wire fence.

A passing motorist wit-
nessed the incident and
distracted the bear which
was shot by another
motorist.

Women Ask For
Rape Film Ban

By JUDY CREIGHTON
CP Family Editor
TORONTO (CP) -
Federal and provincial
advisory councils on the
status of women endorsed a
resolution Friday to ask
provincial attorneys-general
to demand a -permanent
withdrawal of a U.S. {film on
rape currently available in
Canada.

The resolution made to a
joint meeting of the councils,
“asked that the film, How. to
‘Say No‘ io ‘a Rapist.” aud.
Survive, be banned and that
the attorneysgeneral urge all
provinces and local
authorities to make efforts to
ensure school boards and po-
lice departments use other
availeble films on rape.

Monica Townson, vice-
chairman of the Federal
Advisory Council on the
Status of Women, told a news
conference that the film the

joint councils are concerned’

about stresses the message
that ‘if a: woman plays along
with the rapist, she has a
greater chance of remaining
alive,”

“This movie gives a
‘distorted view of men and
women and portrays women
as teasers," she said,

“It is a money-making
business and treats rape as a
big joke. This is our ob-
jection to it.”

Living Together Before
Marriage Advocated

VANCOUVER CP) -
Local marriage and sex
counsellors and church
group spokesmen say
couples who are condiering
getting married should live
together and obtain
marriage counselling before
tying the knot if they want to
avoid a divorce.

Statistics Canada says
British’ Columbla had the
highest divorce rate in the
country in 1976, 333 for each
100,000 people compared
with the national divorce
rate of 235 per 100,000.

Allan Holender, of the
Contemporary Counselling
Service, said that a typical
' marriage in trouble is one

between a couplein their late
20s or early 30s, childless,

possibly divorced before and
likely in a good income
bracket.

Both will be caught in the
Vancouver do-your-own-
thing lifestyle: be spends
time with his golfing buddies
and she has lunches and
tennis games with her
friends who are divorced or

. in the process of splitting up,
he said,

“The attitude in Van-
couver is: ‘Don'’tcall me, I'D

you- when I need you for .

a date of brief sex interlude-
*: said Holender. “We live
in a very recreation-
moriented, independent-
minded community, where
nobody believes they need or
want each other.” ‘
That typeof attitude goes

against the’ grain of human .

nature and is the reason not
only for B.C.’s high divorce

rate, but also its high suicide ©

head of a marriage con-
sulting service for business
and industry, saidthat
Vancouver couples are
experiencing fallout fromthe
Sexually permissive open
marriage concepts.

“Those type of radical
human relationship ideas
come out of California, and
drift up to Vancouver,” he
said. ‘Now people are
finding that extra-marital
affairs do make people
jealous and damage
relationships."

Sex is still the number one
problem when two people get
together. [tis a major factar
in three-quarters of .all
marriage break-downs and
instrumental in almost all,

“A lot of' men are petrified
of women, and 4s a reguit the
marriage bed is not all that,
comfortable...the reverse is
true, of course,” said
Holender.

At the Vancouver Sexual
and Development Coun-
selling Clinic,: Claude de
Martino, a psychologist with
extensive marital coun-
selling experience, said 50
per cent of all couples have
sexual problems, yet the
three Vancouver-area clinics
specializing .in sexual
problems St. St. Pauls’ and
Vancouver General hospitals
and de Martino’s clinic see
only about 300 to 400 couples
a year. .

“It must be the pioneer
spirit, but more people here
are reluctant to ask for help
on marital hang-ups," he
‘said. “In Toronto and the
United States there are
Many more sex counselling
clinics; there isn't such a
stigma attached?"

i

At Divorcervice, where
1,000 couples officially broke
up in the three years the
office has been open, It is not:
unusual for couples to
inquire about the service
after their first month of
marriage.

“The have a big argument
and phone up to see what's -
involved ‘just in case’ it
comes to a split,” says
Divoreervice director Anne
Hume.

“Yes, it's easier to get a
divorce these days. The
courts have streamlined the
paperwork involved and
judges don't seem to be as
tough.”

“The tolerance level is so
low here,” said Holender.

“Folk back eagt and on the ©

Prairies are more tolerant of
quirks in their partners. The
long winters there seem to
bring people together."

The flight of women to jobs
and outside interests is
having an effect.

“Women are expecting
More and asking more, and
men often don’t want to give
it,” said de Martino. “It
leads to more spoken
outright disatisfaction.”

Most marriage counsellors
say the instances of divorces
would drop it it was tought ta
get married.

“Couples considering
marriage should have to go
through counselling sessions
first in the touch things of
Marriage: sex, children, in-
laws, finances," said Tony
Plomb, moderator of the
Presbyterian Synod of B.C.

“Counselling before
marriage is an absolute

‘must to get the skeletons out

of thecloset,"’ said Holender.
