HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1959-08-27, Page 7Inmates of the Drug Addiction clinic at Mimico Reformatory are no longer addicted, Their systems no longer cry out for the relief and sense of wellbeing brought on by an injection or "fix" of narcotics. But most will return to the habit sooner or later. They no longer need narcotics because they have been through the "withdrawal" period, an agonizing period, where, de-, prived of drugs, they suffer un- told anguish as their systems be- come adjusted to a normal pat- tern. Once this stage is past the , addict becomes an ex-addict and "he is physically able to function without the use of narcotics. To keep them from returning to drugs once they are released is almost impossible task of the staff of the Drug Addiction Clinic. Said clinic psychologist George Luce, "They have no- where to go once they are out but back to their old haunts, which invariably are breeding grounds for addicts, prostitutes and others who contributed to their addiction in the first place. Edward Maxted, clinic rehabi- litation officer said in order ,to stop the ex-addict from return- ing to his former ways was to transplant him to an entirely dif- ferent environment. "If we can convince him not to associate with the element responsible for his addiction in the first place", he said, he has a fair chance of abstaining". Pointing to a file of cards on his desk, two inches thick, he said, "There are 80 inmates who have been treated here and I know where they are and' what they are doing in case they need help." When he contacts a pros- pective employer directly, he ex- plained, he leaves it up to the inmate to decide whether or not the employer should be told of the inmate's addiction. "Those convicted and sent here f o r addiction, psychologist George Luce said, resent the law interferring, they can't see they're hurting ' anyone b u t themselves and think it unjust." "They object to being sent to jail," he said, "for sticking a needle in their arm." Treatment at the clinic is pri- marily educational, he •said, to point out by lectures and films the physical and mental deterior- ation accompanying narcotic ad- diction. Sedatives and tranquil- izers are administered discreet- ly, he said, since.once addicted to one drug an inmate looks for a comparative result in another. Narcotics, he explained, depress the nervous system and cut off alarm reaction and an addict can be seriously ill without realiz-, ing it. Occupational therapy plays a large part in making an inmate feel he is capable of something worthwhile. Said occupational therapist Patricia Fisher," This is permissive treatment, we don't try and tell them what to do, but Make the facilities available to them to build things, paint, do copper and aluminum etch- ing and other crafts hoping: they'll discover they can do something that will help theirs "abstain from tharcetics, Drug addicts can no more be cured than alcoholics, Mr. Lttce said, there are periods of ab stirieticee but once the fatal first step is taken again they are back Were they Were in the 'first place Rehabilitatioe pregiarri which will keep inmates away from, narcotics after they ateeteleeeed it the alit of the dale; he said', but' the co-operation of the ad- dicta themselves is fieceseary.

The first is very im- portant, so let's start with it. Throughout the North, "biling the kittle" is a MUST with mit- doorsteen, The Pre arrangement is simple, You ram a six-foot pole into the ground at a slight angle, and then pcop it up with a rock or chunk of wood, The lit- tle black kettle is suspended by igtrsobunaidi ffrom the end of the pole, so the bottom of the kettle is about eight inches above the Under it, you build a quick lire of kindling arid small dry wood that boils the water in ten min- utes. While "she's a biling," you tcaento toast bread on a forked stick, or you can rake out a bed of coals to one side and fry bacon h re, An alternative arrangement is to drive three stout green pegs in the ground, projecting about eight inches, and on the triangle thus formed, set your kettle, The kettle will boil before the pegs burn out, But for regular, orderly meals, you need an, arrangemeet of the wood fire that will more nearly approach the kitchen range at home, with its capacity for three or more kettles or pans cooking on top, and also an oven. The best arrangement is what might be called the "standard cook fire," common in all well regu- lated camps in our wilder wood- ed regions. First, ypu lay two logs parallel, six to eight inches apart. These should be about three feet long, five or more inches in diameter, and may be green or dry, but green is better. Let there be chunks of wood or rocks under each end, so the logs will be an inch or so off the ground to give draft under them. At both ends of these legs, drive a stout fork- ed stake into the ground, fork about three feet above ground, and" in these 'forks lay a green pole so that this pole is 'directly above the open space between the two logs. Be sure this pole is green. To support kettles from -this pole, use tree-b-ianch pothooks. It takes only a minute or so to make a pothook. I've seen chains with hooks used instead of. ,the wood hooks, but a cook with much experience will always prefer the wood hooks made on the spot. It is much easier to handle the kettles and to slide them to one end of the pole where the contents can simmer or just keep warm. The frypans or griddles are simply laid on top of the two • logs. Be sure that the fire direct- ly under them is mostly coals, with not too high a blaze. If your forelog is a green one, you won't need long-handled pans. Build your fire between the two large logs, using kindling to start, then long poles or split logs, to make a fire about, three feet long. Instead of laboriously cutting the wood into three-foot lengths, simply stick in a long piece and keep shoving it in as it burns. Keep a good bed of live coals between the logs, or a blaze that does not come much more than six inches above the tops of the logs. A 0 BAKING — A folding alu- minum reflector baker is excel- lent to • bake with before this standaracl fire arrangement. If the front log is a green one, re- place it with a smaller dry one that will blaze, and with small, dry sticks encourage a higher blaze. Stand your baker on the ground facing this blaze, and from 12 to 18 inches from it ac- cording, to •the heat you wish. In cases where a wood fire is not possible or permitted, best arrangement is the two- or three- burner gasoline or propane gas stove, Such a stove must be sheltered from the wind and is usually set under a protecting tent fly; then cooking is easy, even in a rain. Folding steel ovens also are available, and these will bake biscuits aed ,hot bread nicely, Aluminum camp Cooking uten- sils, either in sets or individual pieces, have' proved their worth. Kettles have bails and covers, and they come in various sizes so one tests inside the other, This convenient arrangement saves space, and space is usually at a premium. — By COI.

Men who understood the prob- lems of major baseball doubted it. Officials of the National arid American Leagues did not ques- tion Shea's right to an ambitious third circuit operation. They simply felt that he had no idea what he was getting into, how much would have to be done be- fore a Continental League open- ing. Most questions at this time are questions of the ignorant, because only Shea, his associ- ates and advisers actually know the answers, or if there can be answers. But from a distance there are things you have to ponder. Here are a few of them: The Continental League keeps insisting that the present majors will help with the player prob- lem, passing surplus on -to the new circuit. But how will the important pension plan be af- fected? Can the expensive pen- sion system be broadened to in- clude the Continental? If not, will players now in the Na- tional and American Leagues want to move into the third league? The Shea group has suggested as I understand it, that it wile fight any opposition by the pre- sent majors. Will fight with what? If the case were taken to a congressional level, all of baseball would be affected by an unfavourable ruling, includ- ing the Continental League writes Rumill in the Christian Science Monitor. Are cities like Houston and Minneapolis and New York go- ing to pay major admission prices for what is obviously a minor product? One needs only tour the. American League and take a close look at this stirring flag battle involving the Indians and White Sox — to check some of the key players in this struggle — to familiarize himself with the manpower situation in base- ball today, Castoffs are becoming big men in such places as Cleve- land, Chicago and Milwaukee. This is a far greater problem, It seems to me,' than third league fathers think, or if they realize it they 'are ignoring it. According to quotes picked up here and there, they shrug off the personnel matter as no 'problem at all. But it is. It has to be. Continental backers insist they are not interested in making money. They talk only as sports- men and sportswomen interest- ed in broadening the profession- al baseball map, If this is true, they will be rare indeed in the modern sports world. Even if they are not interest- ed in profits, how long will they accept staggering costs and losses? If the present majors have been wrecking the structure of minor league baseball for years, slowly but surely eliminating the major source of player ma- terial, what will an even broad- er map do to the geme's ince- bator? This Continental League ven- ture it either backed by be courage of Vikings or the most uninformed in the history of the national pastime.

Italy is a pop-happy land, and these days its No. 1 tune- smith and crooner is 31-year-old Domenico Modugno (pronounced Mo-doon-yo), a sleepy-eyed gyp- sy with a small, come-hither mustache. His song "Volare" (To Fly) won the 1958 San Remo Song Festival, an , Oscar-type honor that helped rocket its rec- ord sales over .the 8 million mark, including 2 million in the. U.S. alone. This year he wrote "Piove" (It's Raining). Incred- ibly, the tune won another first prize at San Remo. Modugno, who last month was off on a tour of Spain, North Africa, and South America, rep- resents something of a musical phenomenon in Italy. As he ex- plained: "I opened up the win- dow and threw out a lot of junk, including a cupboard full of fake sentiments which had ceased to have any meaning." Ignoring the saccharine tradition of Naples, with amore, he has used dialect and folk themes and chopped the long Italian words into brief, hot notes in most of his 65 songs. "Volare," for instance, never mentions love; it merely takes the listener on a lilting flight "into the blue, painted blue." Postwar' Italy was ripe.for pop singers. The United States Army and its radio stations had intro- duced ,litterbugging and disk jockeys, and right after these came a glittering flood of juke- boxes (about 35,000 today). Mo- dugno and his guitar redo this craze eight to the top. If you think that the price of this paper is too high, consider: haven't you had that many cents' worth of fun yakking about it?

How Can I? By Anne Ashley Q. How can I avoid the smoke odour that usually results when I use grease to make pancakes? A. Rub the griddle with a small cloth bag filled with salt.

Mix three pounds of com- mon' table' salt in one gallon of soapy water, and pour around the plants. Give two treatments. Q. How can I wash oil paint- ings? A, Use tepid soapsuds made of white soap. Rinse with clear wa- ter and then dry very thorough- ly with a soft lintless cloth, Q. What idnd of spray is best for ridding the house of roaches?.. A. About the best insecticide is chlordane.
