Thirteen people were reported killed and 155 wounded by two hand grenades at San Pedro Cathedral in Davao City where more than 5,000 worshipers were celebrating mass. The regional military commander blamed guerrillas of the Communist New People’s, Army for the attacks, In Londonderry, Northern Ireland’s second-largest city, two teenagers were killed by a British army Land-Rover during the fifth straight night of violence. Eight peaceful tallies were held throughout the British-ruled province to cammemorate the 1916 Easter uprising in Dublin that eventually led to the independence of the rest of Ireland from Britain. Seven youths zere arrested in Belfast after about 100 youths threw rocks ata police station. A sunrise mass of the Resurrection sald by the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Giacomo Giuseppe Beltritti, ushered in Easter to Jerusalem, with almost 1,000 people taking communion in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, traditional site of Christ's tomb. It was followed by a Palm Sunday divine liturgy cele- brated by Greek Orthodox Patriarch Deodoros.

Running impairs pregnancies ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) — Women who run a lot and want to have babies may have to ease up on their training to get pregnant, an Emory University researcher says. Strenuous exercise eliminates the body fat women need to have regular menstrual cycles, said Dr. Edwin Dale of the McCord- Cress Laboratory of Reproductive Physiology at Emory. Irregular periods are one cause of Infertility, Dale said in a recent interview, but the condition in runners is temporary and women resume having oormal cycles several months after they reduce their exercise. Dale compared = 112 women runners with 56 non- runners between the ages of. 18 and 48 and found that Among long-distance runners, 4 per cent had normal periods. Among joggers, 77 per cent had normal periods. By con- trast, 90 per cent of the non-. runners had normal periods. Dale said the study eae in 1977 when he receiv telephone call irony physician who said: “Pave a strange lady With a problem. This lady runs 13 or 15 miles a day. She hasn’t had her perigds for a while.’’ ‘ The woman told Dale she had a runner friend with a similar problem. ~ “One patient led me to another and all of a sudden the phone was ringing off the wall and a oumber of women runners were saying, ‘I would like to get into your study.’ They sort of created the study for me.” Not all the women were interested in getting Cancer lumps - in Thyroid-Gland TORONTO (CP) — Devtors should be alert for cancer. when they find small lumps ticularly if the patient had radiation treatment to the head or neck-20 of more years ago, says a Torcato ear, nose and throat specialist.

The study, completed in 1979, found that the answer to beth questions is “No.” “Because a woman is not having her period does not mean she is contracepting,” Dale said. ‘‘She probably is not going to get pregnant, but a person can’t make that statement. It could get you in trouble.” Rumners and women who participate in other strenuous activities like basketball, swimming and gymnastics don't have to stop exercising to have babies, Dale said, but they - should cut down a little and gain some weight. “A woman who wants to become pregnant who has been running 50 to 6) miles a week should cut back to 15 or 30 miles a week,” Dale said, ‘She atill runs enough for the cardiovascular benefit, but she will begin to gain some weight, & gain some body fat and to relieve the stress of running. She gets pregnant.” TALKING. \\ This space offers your provincial and federal elected officlais a place'to say their plece.

Jy By DAVE BARRETT British Columbia must.return to a positive policy of increasing contacts and productive dialogue with its ‘neighbors and abandoning present trends towards a negative “Bunker B.C." mentality in Victoria. The symptoms of a deepening withdrawal from friendly and open association with nelghbours on our southern, eastern and northern borders is disturbing. It is particularly untealthy at a time when the Socréd govertiment is enmeshed in a vendetta with our Canadian More and more evidence is piling up that the Socred cabinet is cutting off its nose to spite its face, as the saying goes. The problem is that such attitudes burt our citizens even more than misguided ministers. For instance, last month mazy British Columbians were upset to earn thal one of the apparent reasons the cabinet arbitrarily picked BC Hydro to build a costly natural gas pipeline to Vancouver Island was its fear of allowing a private firm, which happens to have a coanection with the federal government's PetroCan, a chance to outline at public hearings why its bid would be better. This month ancther reminder of deteriorating relations with other neighbours came from Alaska. That State's leaders already are known to be dumbfounded by the Socred government’s actions in dismantling at great public " east the Dease Lake railway.extension which would have enabled the Canadian and U.S. agencies to undertake completion of the first northsouth transcontinental “railway. . ; Such a railway connection would open up northern ” development on a major scale of benefit toB.C., Yukon and Alaska. Instead of such beneficial projects, the Alaska State legislature in March felt constrained to express concern about B.C. plans to dam the Stikine and Iskut rivers. The Alaska Senate saw introduction of a resolution urging the U.S. federal government lo protect the State's interest in preventing severe environmental and social consequences on their side of the border if B.C. goes ahead with this scheme which has all northerners concerned. Most telling was testimony at a Senate commitlee hearing that the State Governor was having second thoughts about the assurances given him privately by Premier Bennett. If your friends can't trust you, relations aren't very good, . It used to be that there were many top level contacts between British Columbia governments and those in Olympia, Washington. Not only were relations between the NDP administration and a Republican administration there at the time productive in a number of areas, but also a Democratic part-controlled legislature and our caucus kept - in touch with their counterparts on an ongoing basis. ‘The same was true for contacts with Alberta, ‘Xukon and Prk isd id mee Today we sulfer from aiegaty ‘of publi Spats belwetn Premier Bennett and Washington's former Governor and the only contacts with Alberta appear to be restricted to tsolatea councils-of-war for the purpose of attacking Ottawa. The B.C. government, for instance, seems to bave been kept in the dark by recent Alberta government moves to eblain a major shipping terming] in the port of Vancouver. The healthy, open and productive era of meeting with our neighbours to initlate projects of mutual advantage and resolve regional conflicts must be revived. [t would be a positive development and would stop the present retreat into a bunker mentality which can only increase the possibility of dislike and distrust from our neighbours. Dental Tips “Good mouthkeeping” is the theme for April Dental Health Month, and during the month the dental profession hopes to focus attention on the importance of maintaining good oral health, says Dr. Robin Andersen of Houston, Chairman of the Dental Health Month Committee for the Northwest Dental Society. Dr. Andersen says that the theme “Good Mouthkeeping was chosen by the Canadain Dental Association because of its effort in encouraging the proper care of the teeth with good nutrition and good oral hygiene. He said the aim of the Dental Health Month is “to make people aware, particularly school-age children, of the importance of maintaining good oral bealth because teeth are meant to last a lifetime.” Too many people in northern British Columbia are convinced that ultimately they will have to have dentures, and neglect their teeth instead of keeping them in a sound, pain-free condition by giving them the minimum of care that they need, “We want people to be aware of the fact that they can keep their teeth a Lifetime by eating wisely and practising good bygiene measures”. ; The dental society, along with the College of Dental Surgeons of British Columbia, is currently sponsoring a poster contest for children in three age groups across the province. The posters will be judged during the month of April and the winning posters will be sent for a national competition. : He saya that. many of. the dentists and their den hygienists and assistants wil] be participating in various projects to make people aware of the importance of maintaining the proper care of teeth.
