It is now almost 18 months since the world first became aware of the drought in West Africa and a year since the vic- tims of famine first came to public notice in Ethiopia. In that time an estimated-400,000 people have died, millions more 'have been reduced to destitution, national economies have been cripple,d and whole Peoples have seen their traditional ways of life all but destroyed. In all, about 50 million, people live in this devastated swathe of Africa, About one third of them are directly affec- ted by ,the drought .and, of these, perhaps 10 million are facing the possibility of star- vation. A large international effort, co-ordinating with the govern- ments of the affected countries, is channelling aid, despite ad- ministrative difficulties and enormous transport problems. The United Nations Children's Fund, UNICEF, was one of the first to help...tran- sporting and distributing 15,000 tons of protein-rich food to Combat the malnutrition among young children and weaning mothers, along with intravenous fluids and medical supplies for the worst-affected. Now its major efforts are being made in the longer -term, rehabilitation measures, helping to dig and bore wells, to restore local water supplies, and supporting health services — particularly with the tran- sport they need to reach victims in remote areas, Both in West Africa and Ethiopia, the relief efforts are concentrating on the refugee camps which have sprung up around centres of population which can be reached by road. In these camps the problems can be seen in all their pathetic simplicity; shortages of vital necessities such as food and water, absence of basic services such as health care and elementary hygiene. Here are examples of two, of these camps on opposite sides of the continent; the first in the, tiny hamlet of Bistima in Ethiopia's Wollo province, the second in the sprawling, tent- city of Tevrakzena, outside the Mauritanian capital of Nouak- chott. Beginning in Bistima, which became a way-station for refugees, the water supply problem is being tackled by Ethiopia's Water Resources Commission with supplies and help from UNICEF. In three months Bistima will have enough clean water for owners keep a close eye on the behavior of their electrical systems, whether they have aluminum wiring or any other kind." He said the Hydro team's interim report indicates a general upgrading of all wiring systems in today's homes may be desirable. "Heavy appliances such as air conditioners are coming into common use today and they can be a strain on the elec- trical system," Dicker added. "A general improvement in standards might be a good idea." The team recommended that anyone concerned with elec- trical , installations watch for these warning signs: hot or discoloured plates on switches or receptacles; unusual .odours in the vicinity of an electrical outlet; persistent but intermittent flickering of lights for no ap- parent reason. The Hydro team urged* homeowners who notice any of these symptoms to consult a qualified electrician or elec- trical contractor immediately. Help your Heart... Help your Heart Fund Reports that aluminum wiring used in thousands of Canadian homes could be a fire hazard are exaggerated, according to a special Ontario'Hydro team set up to study the 'matter. J.A. Dicker, Hydro's manager of electrical inspec- tion, said that although the team will continue its in- vestigations, "things aren't nearly as bad as alleged earlier". The combination 'of poor workmanship and the use of improper wiring devices on aluminum wire increase the possibility of electrical failure, he added. The team's in- vestigation revealed several, iailu.5es involving alinninum wire but damage was generally; confined to the outlet box and no actual fires resulted,. "The number of reported failures are very small in terms of the number of installations," Dicker said. The special team was set up. after news reports several mon- ths ago suggested' that aluminum wiring--which has replaced its more costly coun- terpart,copper, in most new home circuits--was turning residences into "time bombs" waiting to go up in smoke. "That just isn't the case", said Dicker. "But we recom- mend strongly that home WHO'S AFRAID OF THE BIG BAD WOLF? Aluminum wiring hazards exaggerated says Hydro This country is supposed to be a democracy. Part of democracy is the ability to vote - with a choice. You, the voters of Clinton are also eligible to run for office, as well as vote - if you are given a choice. Let's make Clinton an example of a town where democracy really works - that enough people are willing to run to give voters a choice, not a council put in by acclamation. Why should we shrug our shoulders and say "What can we do about it?" take courage, Stand by your ethics. RUN FOR COUNCIL. Let's have ONE Election this time round.

When the drought trebled the population of Mouakchott from 45,000 to 120,000, most of the increase was in this camp. Now ragged tests stretch as far as the eye can see. The children Ci f Tevrakzena have little time for play. Because of the drought, they are already part of the struggle for life — distributing and carrying grain, endlessly coming and going to the camp's only drinking-water pump — where both humans and animals congregate. The basic diet of Mauritania is a little meat or milk mixed with millet flour, but today they eat anything which the in- ternational relief effort can of- fer. Canadian children are more fortunate, -and every year, over one million of our country's young don their masks and costumes on Hallowe'en and go knocking on doors collecting money for their less fdrtunate counterparts in countries such. as Mauritania and Ethiopia. In 1973, $856,000 was collected. This year, with your help, we hope to exceed the million dollar mark for the first time. We have a large selection of new vehicles in stock ready for immediate delivery. We suggest buying now as it appears likely that new vehicles are going to increase in price again.
