Four million people — one
out of seven in Canada — are af-
fected by this disease. Sixty per-
cent of them are women, 74,000
‘are children, © :

A door-to-door campaign is
underway in Terrace. Also,
there are various in-store ac-
tivities being conducted by their
major corporate donor, the
Woolworth Co., to raise money
for the Arthritis Society. Satur-

Arthritis is ‘‘inflamation of.a

joint’’, There are more than one
hundred different’types of ar-

thritis.; Some are serious and -

some are not. The degrees of

disability vary. widely, as do

methods of- treatment. It is
recommended that those with
recurring symptoms should seek
early diagnosis — before there is
damage to a joint. Symptoms
are: pain, stiffness, tenderness
or swelling in one or more joints
or in the neck, lower. back ‘or
knees. .

The Arthritis Society, B.C.

and Yukon Division, has a Con-_

trol Program that seems to be

very well organized. There is an

Arthritis Management team con-
sisting of specialists, orthopedic
surgeons, physical therapists,

“CLAS

social workers and nurses.
Working in consultation, «this

team ensufes that all arthritis pa-_

tients benefit from a program

tailored to ‘their individual
needs. - me

was born with arthritis. It was
classified as rheumatoid (a
‘defect in the ability of the body
to defend itself). There wasn’t
much that anyone could do
about it, Oe,

McGowan remembers that
when she was a little girl her
mother spent hours rubbing her
limbs. ‘In my case there seemed
to be a hereditary ‘factor,’ she
said. ‘“‘“My father, mother,
brother and uncle had it.”’

While she was growing up,
taking aspirin and some
chiropractic treatments helped
somewhat. During tite years that

arthritis went into remission.
