Funding comes through
for project to study
services for women

Contributed by
Leslie McCauley

A Needs Assessment Study
for women in the Terrace area is
about to be conducted as a joint
project of the Terrace Women’s
Resource Centre, Kermode
Friendship Society and Ksan
Society.

Funded by Government Man-
agement Services, Ministry
Responsible for Women’s Pro-
grams, the project is designed to
identify services for women in
the community, and areas in
which services are not available.

This is the first of a three-
stage, community-based project.
After the study stage, we hope to

put the findings into a concrete
proposal, For example, if the
study finds that lack of daycare
spaces is a priority for women,
we hope to be able to pursue
funding to set up a continuing
daycare designed to meet the
needs of working mothers.

The steering committee is
presently looking for a coor-
dinator. This person will design
and implement the study, and
use the results to project the next
phase of the project. For infor-
mation about the position, call
the Women’s Resource Centre
638-0228 or the local CEIC of-
fice.

During my seafaring years in
the late 1930’s I visited many
market places in southern Asia,
and cities including Bombay,
Calcutta and Colombo on the
Island of Ceylon, now named
Sir-Lanka.

In all of the market places
visited, I noticed the tantali-
zing smells of curry cooking
that arose from the many stalls
of prepared food vendors. If,
in the future, you should be
visiting India, your appetite is
surely to be whetted by the en-
ticing smells of curries.

One of the main ingredients
of curry is turmeric. The main
odor of curry dishes derives
from the powdered root of
turmeric. This plant not only
flourishes in India, but also in
the rich, moist soils of China,
Java, Bangladesh and other
tropical areas in the Far East.

Turmeric can grow to a
height of five-feet, with large
leaves up to 1% feet long and
eight inches wide. The pretty,
funnel-shaped yellow flowers
grow in pairs from the leaf ax-
ils. The understems, or as they
are called rhizomes, is the most
wanted part of the plant. After
it is dried and ground to a
powder, the substance cur-
cumin is yielded. This
substance is sold in most super-

Home buying, mortgages, credit

(Malo, Rigsby, Nygaard,

markets and health stores
under the name turmeric.
This orange-yellow spice is

“ the main ingredient of curry

powder. The distinctive warm-
bitter taste of curried foods can
only be traced back to
turmeric, the versatile root.
Many mustard producers add
this tasty root in powdered
form to their products. This
root powder enhances and
strengthens the mustard, to the
consumer’s delight.

But this is not all. This cur-
cumin has a history as a folk
remedy. In many parts of Asia
it is still used to treat a variety
of sicknesses.

In India, powdered turmeric
is often administered as an
agent that can rid the body of
parasitic worms. In other coun-
tries of the world -it is prescrib-
ed as a carminative to relieve
stomach and intestinal gas. It is
also prescribed as a part of an
ointment to help healing of
small pox and chicken pox le-
sions. Curcumin may also
stimulate the production of

. bile, which is produced by the

liver. This substance, herbalists
say, is also a great help in the
digestion of. fats.

Do the rhizomes contain an-
tibiotic properties? Yes, they
do, according to recent

reports by researchers, They
may also inhibit the growth of
bacteria and fungi, so they say.
Scientists have not been able to
substantiate this claim. . .
Anyway, whenever you make

‘mustards, pickles, relishes or

marinades, add a teaspoon of
this versatile herb, and you will
not be sorry, as the enhance-
ment will meet your expecta-
tions.

Nicholas Culpeper
English herbalist

Nicholas Culpeper was one -
of the most popular herbalists
of the Middle ages. He was
also the most outrageous one
of them. Culpeper was known
to be a nonconformist, a
puritan apothecary, while all
others were Joyalists. This con-
cerned the whole medical
establishment at that time.
Historians write that he even
tried to take all medical knowl-
edge out of the hands of the
College of Physicians, which

-were very proud and domineer-

ing. He was the one who
translated the London phar-
macopeia from Latin to
English, published in 1649. He
certainly earned the ire of the
medical establishments and the
devotion of the public.

The happy people are those
who are producing something.
The bored people are those

-who are consuming much and

produce nothing.
