Pointed the coordinator would
also participate in a research
study to survey and evaluate
present treatment and
rehabilitation projects.

He also said that to enable the
Council te wield an influence
beyond the major cities, six
regional advisory committees
have been formed to implement
provincial policies and advise
the central group, Each
regional committee will consist
of the district superintendent of
schools in the area concerned, a
representative of the Depart-
ment of Health, and a
representative of the Attorney-
Geueral’s Department.

The six committees, with
their Education and Health
Department members listed in
that order, follow: Vancouver
Island, D.N. Weicker of Nanaimo
and Dr. Peter Reynolds of
Nanimo; Lower Mainland, C.S.
MacKenzie of Delta and Dr. G.
Bonham of Vancouver;
Kamloops, C.A, Bruce of
Kamloops and Dr. H. Richards

N. Schmitt of Trail; Cariboo,
A.D, Campbell of Burns Lake
and Dr. W.G, Meekison of
Willlams Lake. Represen-
tatives of the Attorney-
General's Department have not
yet been named,

Brothers said the Council
believes il has made solid ad-
vances against the distressing
social problems in the short
time it has functioned. It has
established education as first
priority weapon: approved and
Started an all-media ad-
vertising programme; printed a
pamphlet called “Get it
Straight" and started the
.production of a film on drugs
designed to be of special in-

_ terest to young people and in-

vited film makers to submit
their own plans for additional
films, .

Through a technical sub-
committee the Council has
processed 17 applications for
financial assists from in-
dividuals and organizations
working in the field and ap-
proved grants of $50,890 to the
following:

WCTU, $5,000 to assist: in
expanding an educational
programme; Maple Ridge

Halfway House, $10,140 to assist"

in an evaluation of the ef-

. fectiveness of a rehabilitation

programme; Narcotic Ad-
diction Foundation, $5,850 to
assist in the establishment of a
lending library; Narcotic
Addiction Rehabilitation
Centre, $2,500 to assist in a local
drug addiction treatment

OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM

Hush, hush in
the Reading Room

LONDON (AP) — Hush, hush,
whisper who dares, the Reading
Room of the British Museum is
saying its prayers,

The glass-domed, circular
cloister where Karl Marx wrote

> Das Kapital and Lenin cand. :
Trotsky plotted the sBolstewik:,
ope

- Revolution, where \

William Makepeace Thackeray,
Thomas Hardy, George Elict,
Thomas Carlyle, George Ber-
ilard Shaw and so many others
labored in sepulchral silence, is
once again hoping, dreaming,
fingering its worry beads for a’
new and enlarged hame across
the street, :

The site has been approved,

mentary wrangling; the plans
are being drafted. Only the
money is lacking, as it has been
for the last two decades,

How much, no one knows for
sure yet, but the trustees of the
British Museum are confident
‘Prime Minister Heath's Con-
servalive government is more
than sympathetic to relieving
the embarrassingly over-
crowded conditions in what -
Matthew Arnold called ‘that
delightful spot, that happy
island —Bloomsbury, the
Reading Room of the British
Museum.”

TWO-HOUR WAIT

Last year, the polite push for
the 390 blue leather seats be-
came so unbearable the mu-
seum wrote to scholars at 162
leading universities in Western
Europe, Canada, the United
States and Australia asking
them to avoid using the reading
room and its unrivalled collec-
tion of more than seven million
books during the peak summer
months if they could possibly
rearrange their research plans,

It didn’t work, On most days a.
wait of two hours for books was
considered normal. :

A commission headed by
Vice-Chancellor
Dainton ‘of. Nottingham
University has tee mumended a
new library on.the Blooms
-Site with seats for 1,820 readers
‘and ‘storage: place. for seven
times as many books, which
now must be “outhoused,’’ to

Thomas Carlyle, laboring
over his history of the French
Revolution a century ago, com-
plained of “‘one gentleman who
used to blow his nose very
loudly every half-hour.”

“T inquired who he was and
was informed he was a mad
person sent there by his
friends,”’

ADMISSION BY LETTER

‘The museum has never been a

. lending library, It once took an

Act of Parliament to remove
any book from the premises, ex-
cept for evidence in a court
trial, and even then an attend-
ant went along and never let the
volume out of his hands.

_Inrecent years the rules have
been relaxed to permit the
director to lend out books and
manuscripts for exhibitions or,
when the bindery on the
premises is overworked, to ship
them off for repairs to Her Maj-
esty's Stationery Office in Man-
chester.

Admission is only by letter or
personal application to the su-
perintendent.

British subjects who claim

that access to the great oval
sanctum. is, their birthright are
firmly if somewhat frostily ih-
formed that Her Majesty’s gov-
ernment also’ administers a
number of ‘prisons and lunatic

asylums that also have prere-

quisites for admission.

designated for a number of reasons, easy access by ambulance; #

For these reasons, it is obvious that if persons are allowed to tt

DEAR ANN LANDERS After
reading the letter fram the
young wife who was unhappy
because her husband wasn’t
warm-blooded enough for her, I
decided to write. So please
listen, Girlie, I speak from 40
years of experience.

I came from a family of
drunks, There were six kids in
our family and our parents
didn’t care about any of us.
When I met a guy who showed.
some interest in me I latched on
fo him for dear life, Iwas only
18 when we married. He-was .
settled, definitely low-key and
not the type to show “his -
emotions. Well, I just about
pestered him to death. I
wouldn't let him take a bath,
read, or talc on the phone, I
wanted to sit on his lap and kiss
him every minute. I couldn't’

_ take my eyes or my hands aff.
him, . °

When he began to spend more
time than I thought he should at .

- his brother's place, I figured it

out. He had to get away from:

-, me because I was smothering
him to death. [t was hard to-do
_, bul I forced myself to leave: him

alone. ‘I guess this was’ part of
