Letter from Masset,

Queen Charlottes

. By Elvira Bryant

The last letter mentioned
some aches and pains that
had resulted from a fall.
Well since then an unex-

ted trip has been taken to
ictoria for the chiropractic,
treatments! When a sudden
searing pain prevented me
from bending or walking on
a temperary basis, this
waiting until the holidays
was given up altogether. It
was the first time [have had
to go in daily for, ad-
justments, but damage to
two sections of the back, as
well as some whiplash to the
neck isn't to be taken
lightly. I was told it will be
three weeks before I realize
the full benefits, but at least
there has been an end to the
aches and pains.

It seemed almost fated
that I should be in Victoria
this past week. My brother-
in-law received the synopsis
of his series of tests. He has
cancer of the liver and
possibly of the lungs as well.
Gordie doesn't intend to
have any operations, but
before I left, had consented
to having a liver biopsy.
From my readings, I do not
think even that is a good
plan, as in breaking the
membrane for a biopsy,
there is more for an_op-
portunity for cancer cells to
travel elsewhere.

This past week I reread
the book by Hoaxey, “You
Don’t Have to Die’. The
persecution experienced by
this man with the American
Medical ‘Association leads
me to believe that this
particular organization is
controlled by a few. Any
physician deviating from its
orders, faces the immediate

rospect of the loss of his or

er licence. (Somehow I was
reminded of the blacklisting
carried out in our own
province immediately that
anyone speaks out against
the transgressing of federal
laws! The age old problem
of avarice seems to be
always with us.)

On the flight back I
completed my quick readin
of Part I of “A Worl
Without Cancer” by Edward:
Griffin. This concerns
Laetrile or B 17, and which
actually is related to the
reason why the Hunza
people are so long lived, and
also do not suffer from this

add

particular disease.
(Perhaps by next letter I
will have read Part II.) This
particular substance seems
to be involved with
nitailoside which occurs in
over twelve hundred edible
plants and is found in
‘virtually every part of the
world”. (Nitailosides ‘are
particularly prevalent in the
seeds of fruits of such things
as bitter almond, apricot,
blackthorn, cherry, nec-
tarine, peach and plum; but
are also contained in such
grasses as: maize,
sorghum, millet, cassava.
linseed, apple seeds and
many other foods.)

Time out for a trip to the
Wattun River mouth to try
for trout! After several
casts, we decided the bait
wasn’t good enough, so
headed home, picking up
some of the fres water for
drinking purposes along the
way. We Mast do not like the
chlorinated Masset water. It
was fine until we sampled
the water from. the spring
and now we make regular
trips for ‘water as it is
provided by nature.

Last letter I never got
around to mentioning two
letters that had recently
been received by us, The
first had been in respanse to
a Thanksgiving invitation,
and was from the former
editor of this paper (Cathie
Fraser). Cathie was
widowed twice. Her second
husband was Herb Spencer.
Now Cathie is married to
Roy Walkers and they are
living on East Yale Road in
the Orchard Trailer Park,
Chilliwack, B.C. We wish
them both much happiness.

The second letter was
from Nellie. and Whitney
Lewis, also former Terrace
residents. Nellie also told us
about the Roy Walkers, and
it does sound as though both
couples may yet favor us
with a visit! The latter two
people are planning on a
long trip early in December,
and -it seems friend Mary
‘Little will also be taking this
trip in. (I last saw Mary
when. I was out for an
English workshop in: 1975.)
‘oday I managed to get
out in the garden for awhile
and planted the rest of the
bulbs. i also put in some
young forget-me-no nts
that I brought home wht me
yesterday on the plane.

Vie has been busy
patherin more of that good

rnyard fertilizer and so if -

the garden doesn't do its
best in 1977, it certainly

won't be because of any
dearth of good food. We
should get out soon though
for more kelp, and it seems
Ed Woode has some special

sacks that will be juat right

for this Se. |
While Tn Victoria, I was

suddenly spoken to by two
former Kitimat acquain-
tances — Conrad and Sybil
Mason. We met them some
twenty years ago. 1 met the
family while working in the
postal service, but Vic met
them one day when they had
anear tragic accident on the
Kitimat highway. He
happened to come along
goon after and was able to
render first aid, etc.

Conrad Mason took a
year’s training in nursing
and now works at the Gorge
Road Hospital. Their
daughter works for the
provincial government, but
I am not quite sure. where
Sybil is working. We have
been asked to visit them
when we next go dawn, They
are at present living ‘in an
apartment on the Dallas
Road

One thing I found out
during the recent trip to
Victoria — the roses there
are at the same stage as
those at Masset: All are still
in buds and blooming. And
some of the bulbs here are
further ahead — I believe
these are snowdrops. The
weather this past while has
been very nice at both
places — although there is a
definite chill to the air these

days.
Managed another trip

the provincial museum this:

past week as [ met a young
person who used to live here
at Masset. The department
that was closed in the
summer (vertebrates and
invertebrates) is now open,
and itis well worth seeing —
although I do prefer to see
my birds alive! There is so
much to be seen at this
museum though, that one
can make several visits and
see something new each
time.

Ansther book that 1
completed this past week is
"Secrets of the Heart” by

Kahlil Gibran. Many
readers may be more
familiar with ‘The

Prophet’’... written by the
same author, I. noticed a lot
of books by this author were
out on display in several
book stores. One could
perhaps class these writings
as coming under the
heading of a philosophy of
. :

The current book is I.C.
Sharma's ‘Cayce, Karma
and Reincarnation”, which I
will no doubt alternate with
Part II of “World Without
Cancer”, At least this time
the reading has a little more
variety. However there will
be less reading time ahead
so it may he some time

Must remember to
mention in this edition that
Ankhe did return home. She
had been gone for four days,
so we feel she may have
been shut in somewhere
during this time. So far she
has not gone too far away
from home since.

It is strange the reactions
of various people to an
occurrence. This past
weekend it seems a new
Chief was installed for the
Haida peoples. Quite a
number of supposed
“white” people were invited
to this ceremony for Oliver
Adams. One woman has
Teported to me and has
termed this as a most im-
pressive ceremony. The
supper was a traditional one

an everything was
beautifully done. Gifts of
argillite carvings and

screen prints were part of
the evening program. The
screen prints were by
Robert Davidson and guests
were given paper copies of a
fourteen by fifteen inch
rendition of this motif which
was called an--‘arresting
eagle. The centre section
was a frog and the tail was
of the beaver. Knitted or
crocheted scarves, aprons
and caps were also given out
as gifts, as well as the
traditional cakes. :
Another reaction from a
different source, was to the
effect that all people of the
so-called “(Caucasian race"

- were slandered by the guest -

Speakers, and the story was
at the “white people”
were segregated to a dif-
ferent section of the hall!
Miscommunication?

I believe the new chief
was called “Chief Goula”,

Pea]

—-

but_ am pot sure a tne
spelling. write-up shou
be forthcoming in the next
copy of the Islands “Ob-
server" newspaper.
Whenever the subject of
white people as compared
with Haida comes up at

school I have some times
made an immediate com-

parison of colour and’

commented how someone's
arms etc. are much whiter
than my own. (This of
course happens’ to be fac-
tual!) The story was that
many of the Haida people
also believe in reincarnation
— if this is so then there
should not be any
disparaging comments
about colour.

On November 15 there is
to be a special meeting at
Queen Charlotte City in
connection with the Salmon
Enhancement program, so
perhaps a report concerning
this meeting will be for-
theoming for the next letter.
