1S IT MARS? OR THE MOON. It's neither, though you'd have a
tough time believing it’s not. What it is is a snowseape of the

lava beds up the Nass Valley taken by Dave Read of B.C. Hydro
who snowmobiled inte the country.

Many a homemaker has
dreamed of the day when she
will awn a freezer with all the
advantages her freezer-owning
friends extoll.

No more * last minute
emergencies; no more hum-
drum meals; fruit vegetables,
fish and game long past the
season; buy in large quantities
and make: fewer trips to the
store; save time and money.
All these hopes can come true if
you are willing to work at
getting the most out of your

in owning a freezer is the
convenience.

You should be prepared for
the cost of operation. Proper
moisture-vaporproof packaging
and containers are a “must’’.

Held_over. —
at Red Dor

A Chilean singer has been
held over at the R’Dor Cabaret
for another week.

_Luis Dimas, a 26-year-old
singer, dancer, impersonator
and comedian will perform at
the cabaret from Wednesday,
March 17 to Saturday, the 20th.

His manager says he hopes
also to arrange a performance
at the Terrace Civic Center for
Luis who was a television star in
South America.

Fighting foes
nipped $50

A fight in the Lakelse Hotel
parking lot has resultéd in fines
for two local men.

Fined $50 each were Ronald
Motz, 22, and Victor Lincoln, 27.
They appeared in court
Saturday on charges of causing
a disturbance by fighting.

The incident took place
March 5.

Cont'd from Page 1
Marty also talked of drugs.
Incessently. He was
extremely agitated all the

time; nervous, paranoid and
rambling to the extent he

would forget what it was that
he was tatking about.
USED SPEED

He was consistantly after
me totry meth-amphetamine,
or “speed”. He said it gave
him a hbelter kick than
marijuana. Marijuana was
just for kids, he'd say.

He had no job and was
becoming known as a ‘burn’
artist, or ‘rip-off artist’ as
those who steal from others
are called today in the drug

- sub-culture.

I met Marty for a beer to see
him for the first time in over

two years. It was to be a sort

of a reunion.

1 ended up buying the beer,
listening to the exotic
“pleasures” of ‘*Meth” and
before we parted company he

‘asked for'a loan. I didn’t give

Whatever happened to this
brilliant, promising poet? I
wondered.

I was young. Out to save the
world. An idealist.

find I tried to help Marty.

USES NEEDLE

I almost threw-up when I
walked into the kitchen in a
west end Vancouver house to
see Marty, muscles flexed,
and a needle in his hand. I
could see the trickle of blood
that followed the injection. He
was extremely animated and
“speeded-up”".

“Just try it, man,” he said
with wild eyes surrounded by
grey pockets. He had once
weighed 230, but he was tall.
Now he weighed less than 150,
His ribs stuck out and ‘his
flaming red hair had started
lo fall out and recede and he
was in his mid 20's,

He looked like a vegetable.
He looked like a dead man.

There was no way I could
talk to him. Nothing I would
say would sinkin. He wouldn't
listen, He was in another

world and the gap was too a

LOST TOUCH

I left Vancouver for the East
where I remained several
years, I corresponded with
Marty, but soon we lost touch.

Two years later I returned
home for a visit. A mutal
friend told me: “Remember
Marty? Well, he's dead...they
figure it was a bubble in the
blood stream...”

.. “Don't feel bad," my friend
said. "He was dead a long,

tong time ago.” ‘ fede

Colin, on the other hand,
also went east where he
worked himself up to a well-
paying, powerful position for a
steel firm.

He asked for help and had
received it. It was Skeena MP
Frank Howard who talked to
Colin’s parole board and got
him a responsible job on the
outside.

Frank in’ a recent visit to
Terrace, said there are others
like Colin. But the most
important thing, said Frank,
is that the addict needs the
will and self-respect to
overcome his sickness. He

Colin to help themselves, One

WILLPOWER ‘KEY'

-Howard said the key is
willpower. The willpower to
refuse, ,

That refusal must begin
when you are first handed a
joint of marijuana. Granted, it
is not physically addicting like
heroin or speed, but many
people can develop a mental
dependency on it...just like an
alcoholic with his booze.

Marty, the brilliant,
handsome scholar withered
away and died hecause he was
overcome by the brie!
euphoria that soon becomes a
deadly disease, He told me he
had tried speed hecause “it
was there’. He was an
experimenter. He told me he'd
tried heroin and didn't like it,
But he still smoked grtass. He
said he had a better lift when
he was “speeding.”

tut, in ‘his case, like many.
all ;

ers, “speed kills",

Cut down in the prime of
life.

And Colin?

He's off heroin and happy.
But for medical reasons
stemming from his addiction
he will be on tranquilizers for
the rest of his life,

In this issue, The Herald
probes the merky world of
drugs and alcohol. It deals
with people like Marty and
Colin, Perhaps somebody you

‘know.

But we can learn from their
misfortunes if we have the
power, the will, to say, “No
thanks.”’

DRY PLACE

The freezer motor
needs a dry place with
a _ temperature of at
least 40 degrees F for ideal
conditions. Unheated
basements and garages are not
recommended.

One decision you will have to
make is whether an upright or
chest type Will ‘best suit’ your
purposes,

Uprights take less floor space
and give easier access to the
food; there is better even-cold
distribution but you will lose
more cold while the door is
open. Chest models are cheaper

to “buy; and are better” for
storing bulky and odd-shaped
foods like poultry and roasts.

With the’ exception of the
more expensive frost-free
uprights, freezers need
defrosting once or twice a year. :
‘This means removing all foods ;

and insulating it in newspapers ;

under a blanket until the ice in
the freezer melts. Look for a
drain at the bottom to allow the
melted ice to drain off. other-
wise - you will, just have to
“sop up’ the water.

An electric fan played on the
frosting will zip it off in jig-time.

SOMETIMES HARD

You may find some freezers

with interior linings that
overlap and with sharp corners
that can make cleaning dif-
ficult. Look for a smooth in-
terior. Most liners are made of
porcelain enamel but you will
find some aluminum, steel or
plastic linings. ;
_ Hf the lining is plastic be sure
the corners are sufficiently
reinforeed to prevent cracking
if anything is dropped,

Most freezers have thin walls
because of the introduction of
foam polyurethane insulation.

Ask about insulation
material, Another im-
portant consideration is to be
sure the inner and outer walls
are well-sealed so that moisture
cannot penetrate.

LOOK FOR WARNING

: Look for a signal or warning
light to let you know if the
electricity is off or if the
temperature has gone up,
Check the location of the
temperature control-some are
easier to reach and adjust than
others.

Be sure that you get an
adequate instruction manual. It
should include instructions on
how to package foods and
details on how long different
foods will keep. You should
maintain a regular turnover in
your inventory of food and thal
takes planning and work.

Itis wise to buy a well-known
make from a reliable dealer.
Check the guarantee carefully.
Some include servicing for the
first year as well as parts, while
some also have a warranty
against food spoilage due either
to mechanical break¢ wn or,
power ‘failure. 7“

For your own peotection,
remeber to have any promises
made by the salesman written
on the bill of sale.
