Memory

feted in WV

Tartan was conspicuous as
a large number of Scots
gathered in the new Seniors
Activity Centre in West
Vancouver to hold their fifth
annual Burns Dinner. Guests
were Mayor Derrick and
Mrs. Humphreys, Dr. James
and Mrs. Russell of UBC,

Mr. and Mrs. Erskine
Blackburn, and Mr. and
Mrs. Hagan.

The program was opened
by singing a rousing “Scots
Wha Hae.” Mary Orr, with
helpers, served an enjoyable
four course dinner. Grace
before and after meat was
offered by Mollie Crumlin.

The haggis, borne on a
platter by Nancy Poosie
(Susan Burton), was piped in
by Michael Bernstein and
was powerfully addressed by
Erskine Blackburn.

The Two Toasts — to
Canada and Scotland
were offered in poetry by
Win Dickie.

Dr. James Russell, after a
witty and much enjoyed
speech, toasted The Im-
mortal Memory, to which
the company raised their
glasses with Scottish fervour.

Walter Hagan, remarking
on some of the ladies in
Burns’ life, toasted “The
Lasses.” Jean Gordon an-
swered suitably for the
ladies.

Burns rendered by
Bill Kelly, Nan Stephens and
pianist Alma Reynolds were
much enjoyed.

Dancing opened with the
Grand March, after which
the Activity Centre's Senior

Dance Club with Harry
Somerville, master of
ceremonies, demonstrated

Scottish dancing. All en-
joyed a fling or two in the
Dashing White Sergeant and
the Gay Gordons. After the
Home Waltz the evening
finished with a nostalgic
“Auld Lang Syne.”

Breakthrough promises
relief for diabetics

Diabetes patients stand to enjoy a healthier,
less stressful life as the result of a new technolog-
ical breakthrough demonstrated Tuesday at the

annual meeting of the Lions Gate Medical
Research Foundation.

Dr. John Hunt, addressing
the meeting, illustrated very
dramatically the ad-
vancements made in the
method of the application of
insulm to those suffering
from diabetes. He said the
ideal arrangement was as
planned by nature, when the
body produced a supply of
millions of molecules of
insulin to be stored until
required. At this point
sufficient molecules of
insulin are released to
maintain a constant blood
sugar level.

Dr. Hunt explained that
when this natural process
breaks down, it is necessary
to provide insulin from an
outside source. Traditionally,
this has been done by in-
jecting insulin under the skin
one or more time daily.
Unfortunately, the lack of
accurate control of the
supply of insulin can
eventually lead to eyesight
problems as well as neuritis.

The insulin infusion pump
provides a method to
maintain a far better control
of the supply of insulin to the
body

Dr Hunt said that with
reasonable control, and with
regular blood sugar
measurements. levels can be

kept sufficiently controlled
and complications may not
develop at all.

While there are some
inconveniences in having to
wear the pump continually,
two patients equipped with it
told the meeting that the
relief they have experienced
more than compensates. Dr.
Hunt stated that the pump is
stil a research tool and
hopefully further im-
provements will be made.

Dr. Alison Clarke ad-
dressed the same gathering
on her recent study on two
new broad spectrum an-
tibiotics, and Dr. L.S.A.
Boothroyd outhHned the
progress of the Foundation
since its origin in 1963. He
stated that an increasing

number of research projects

Crompton was elected

directors elected to the

Foundation Board were Alex
Grimmer, Pauline Arm-
strong and Greg Schindell.

financial contribution to the
foundation. Funding is

donations as well as private
donations, business
donations, bequests,
