(AP) - - $o your marriage is falling apart and you can’t get a grasp on your You're not alone. It's part of syndrome of the family in general coming unglued. A noted social historian says you can biame it on the experts. ‘The family has been a victim, Christopher Lasch says, of the rise in this century of the helping professions -~ the flock of teacher, doctor, psychologists, counsellors, social workers and juvenile court officers -- who, claiming expertise, assumed the family-s main function: raising children. The University of Rochester professor's new book on the history of the family is a defence of traditional values.

T understand what is happening to the family today, he says look back, past the rising diverce rate and falling birth rate of the 1970s, past the radically new lifestyles of the ‘69s, past the domestic bliss of the ’50s. Look all the way back to the turn ofthe century. The divoree rate was rising then, and the birth rate among the upper classes was falling. Women were seeking new roles, and traditional morality was being derided. But something else was afoot. , Sociologists, previously content with debating how the family began, starting studying con- temporary families and their roles. for the family the role as a haven for the cruel outside world but simultaneously justified the transfer of its other roles-healing, educating, protecting -- to the helping professions. Hence Lasch’s book, Haven in a Heartless. World, is subtitled The Family Besieged. The results of this steady erosion of the family’s functions: Parents, lacking confidence in themselves and confused over whose advice to follow, hesitate to get deeply involved in their children’s upbringing.

Scientists are studying the possibilities of large-scale indoor market gardens using solar energy or waste heat from other sources. “This ig where it’s at," said Darrel Shaw, greenhouse specialist at the horticultural researct centre in Brooks. The scientists, who have built an alternate-energy greenhouse, say gas or electrical heat is cheaper now, but rising energy costs. could meana bright future in Alberta for unconventional greenhouse projects. They say market gar- deners might move their In Britain price of electricity and natural gas—the usual sources of greenhouse heat— goes up substantially, "Over the last five years we've had about a five-per- cent increase in the industry on a square-footage basis," said Shaw, ‘‘We're looking at the potential of increasing 100 to 200 per cent over a very few years.” START-UP COST HIGH The centr estimates there are about 93 acres of greenhouses operating in Alberta, producing about $12 million worth of vegetables, potted plants and flowers a year. The low figure can be attributed to the high initial cost of getting into a business which cannot guarantee a good return. Despite the costs and the need for expertise, many Vets get more than By NORMAN CRIEBENS MANCMESTER, England (CP) — Veterinarians who are called out to treat animals are paid more than doctors attending human beings, says the. British Medical Association. And mechanics fixing a broken washing machine earn more than general practitioners, said association secretary Dr. Elston Grey-Turner. “Our living standards have fallen by 25 per cent since 1975, compared with less than 10 per cent for average wage-earners,” he said. A pay award of un- precedented size is necessary: to bring the . a, So eas LADIES’ MENS & CHILDRENS f medical profession back to its standing of 1975," Grey-Turner said a detailed report on doctors’ pay and the hours they are required to work in many areas has been gent to Prime Minister James Callaghan.

For many the journey was a first tri away from the security of home. We arrived i Terrace on a Friday grubby and tired from a three day journey to Stewart, Hazelton, K'Shan and finally to your town. Needless to say, a journey that far with that many youngsters can be quite an experience. It was, thanks to the kindness and hospitality of those we encountered on route, a very gratifying experience. In particular I would like to thank the staff and management at the Woolworth’s store on whom we descended unannounced with a pack of “hungry kids’? and eager shoppers. The ladies who prepared dinner were very patient and helpful. It was so nice to have the manager greet us and present us with some delicious goodies for our homeward journey. (They came in very handy when we broke down and had to spend 8 hrs. awaiting help!) Another thanks is most. deserving for the Sandman Inn which also extended a most hearty welcome. The members of your town should be proud of. their friendly merchants who help to make the plight of the northern traveller a most Memorable event.
