It’s fashionable to moon about the unhealthy state of affairs, both at home and abroad and then dismiss these troubles with a shrug. As a result, the coming of a new year wakens little of the hope and expectancy our forebears associated with January first. This might be a good time to re- examine our attitudes. Have we become a nation of buck-passers, using the problems that beset mankind as an excuse to escape any personal responsibility? The plight of the refugees in Pakistan and the Middle East, we know all about. There’s a lot of sad head-shaking, as we switch off our televisions to shut out the unpleasant sight of suffering. Unfortunately our sensitivity doesn’t always go deep Psychiatrists make speeches about the alienation and loneliness that are marks of our time; we agree that this is so. Instead of wailing, why don’t we act? Not one of us is helpless here . . ‘NOTICE | There will be no Garbage | Collection on December 27th, # & December 28th, 1971, andj January 3rd, 1972. — | Every individual can break through the isolation of at least one other person. All it takes is a little caring. Even a smile and a “good day” to a passer-by as we hurry along the street would help. It does wonders for the sense of well-being. The small towns and villages across Canada know about this. It’s a rare thing in summer anyhow, not to receive a nod and smile as one shops or wanders through the parks, January first is a good time to warm up. Ice melts in sunshine.

Al one time or another almost every Social drinker has wanted a quick cure after that ‘one extra” martini has suddenly gone to his head. Thesearch comes when it’s time to drive home. Social drinkers, the Canada Safety Council reports, are a ’ LEADING cause of automobile accidnts. Hosls: are also often faced with a guest who will be a potential menace if he drives. Having a quick and easy way of getting rid of that “pid- diness”’ before taking over the wheel can be a sudden problem. Most'of us have our special theories and pet cures. Coffee — strong, black and in great quantity — is one of the favorites. Some people believe in a jog around the block. Other's try a cold shower. ; NOT SO, SAYS EXPERT “Bul these so-called cures are just old wives tales,” says Phil Farmer, Executive Director of the Canada Safety Council. “They simply do not work. . “There is only one cure — time,” he says. “Tn terms of the usual intoxicating beverages, it takes more ; than one hour to eliminate each 12 ounce hottle of beer, an ounce’ and a half of whiskey or three ounces of unfortified wine. However there are ways of enjoying a good party without risking an impaired driving charge. Modest social drinking, food, dancing and above all TIME to allow the effects of alcohol to-wear off can prevent the problem. Remember that there are no quick sobering-up tricks. Time is the only method. Here are some ideas, however, on how to spread social drinking over a longer periad and allow time to “repair” before ‘you drive home. | oo sas ___ Before the party have a good meal if possible. At the party, B.C. Tel expects a busy Christmas More than 2,800 B.C. Telephone Company employees will spend Christmas Day on the job to maintain equipment and handle anticipated record traffic in long distance calls, The Company has forecast that 482,89) attempts will be made during the 24 hours of December 25th to place long distance calls to points around the world. Many of these will be repeat attempts by customers who aren't able to get through on the first try. This is because the demand for circuits across the country is so heavy on Christmas Day that. it is physically impossible for everyone placing a call to get through. Last year, British Colum- bians made 419,925 attempts to place long distanee calls on Christmas Day. TerenceF, Heenan, B.C. Tel's Operations Vice-President suggested that those who wish to be sure of getting through with Christmas greeting calls At the same time, this centre, which is central relay point for all trans-Pacifie calls made from Canada, expects to handle 1,500 calls to points in Australia, New Zealand, Japan and other trans-Pacific points during the . December 24-25 period. B.C. Tel also issued a reminder to subscribers that calls to most. trans-Pacifie points can be booked in ad- vance, though all circuit time .for calls to Australia has now been reserved for the period 12 noon to 1 a.m. December 25, Vaneouver time. Reservations required, and are not being accepted, for calls within North America and to the United Kingdom. Similarly, no bookings are requjred for calls to Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Venezuela: B.C. Tel said increased cir- evits and additional facilities serving these countries now allow overseas operators to handle a greater number of calls, eliminating the need to book calls in advance. > SIMPSONS SEARS "Wednesday, Thursday are not there will probably be hors d'oeuvres and maybe something should place same of them a day more substantial.
