AUGUST 8, 1968 THE FREE RIDER'S PSALM - from C.F.G.E.O. News & Views The dues-paying member is my shepherd I shall not want. . He provideth me with days off and vacation So that | may lay down in green pastures Beside the still waters. He guideth my welfare without cost to me | stay in the path of non-rightiouness, for my money's sake Yea, though | alibi and pay no dues from genera- tion to generation | fear no evil, for he protects me. The working conditions which he provides, they comfort me He unointeth my head with the oil of seniority The eight hour day, holiday pay, job security My cup runneth over with ingratitude Surely his goodness and loving kindness Shall follow me all the days of my life. Without cost of responsibility to me | shall dwell in his house forever, Eat at his 'able, and let him pay all the dues.

TERRACE BAY NEWS PAGE 9 'HEART CONDITIONNO BAR TO HIGH ALTITUDE VACATIONS Golf pros taking part in a match at a mile-high i course in Colorado complained of feeling "tired" and "listless". Gurkha troops manning the Indian border in the Hirg- layas have been knocked out of commission by an invisible foe. Both groups experienced in different degree some effects of high altitude sickness caused by the oxygen- poor air at higher levels. If conditioned athletes and soldiers responded in that fashion to a changed climate, what are the portents for heart patients planning vacations at altitudes where their hearts would suddenly be asked to work harder to provide suff- icient oxygen in an unaccustomed atmosphere? It has been found, says Ontario Heart Foundation, that most heart patients can travel safely to high altitudes, if simple precautions are taken to minimize the effects of sudden change. Your doctur is the best judge whether you can go, so visit him before complet- ing vacation plans. It would be desirable for heart patients accustomed to living at sea-level, who have medical approval to vacation in altitudes of 7,000 feet or above, to make the ascent gradually. Over a period of several days, the body would adjust to the "thinner air". But today's jets zip across borders and even contin- ents in a few hours, whisking people from flat country to sky-high climes. The fast change can cause high altitude sickness. Symptoms include drowsiness, head- ache, blueness of nails, lips, nose or ears; a feeling of warmth and flushing of the. faces poor sleep, poor appetite, and even dizziness. The plane ride itself should pose passenger cabins are pressurized to oxygen needs. Your Ontario Heart Foundation does suggest you get a good night's sleep and eat a light breakfast before the trip. During flight, go easy on food and skip alcoholic beverages. On arrival in the high-altitude areas, get some bed rest'- if possible - and take it easy, especially in the first 24 hours. If you begin to feel uncomfortable, be sure to seek mdical help. no problem, sinse meet high-altitude ° "Hey butterfingers, want to keep score for us?"
