In as much as poverty feeds the
forces of crime, there exists a fun-
damental relationship between

crime and poverty that should in-_

spire the necessary efforts to de-
velop the productive industries of
tie nation that are required to
establish prosperity. Economic
depression translates into hope-
lessness and despair.

A number of measures must be
taken to ensure that North Van-

dians can live free from fear. _

The Parole Act and Criminal
Code must be amended to ensure
that convicted persons remain

behind bars as long as there is a.

likelihood that they could recom-
mit offences.

Graeme Bowbrick

The most pressing issue is how to
deal with violent crime. A national
sentencing database should be es-
_.tablished to help judges ensure
that sentences imposed are not out
of line with sentences for the same
‘offence committed under similar
circumstances.

The Herbal
Solution

For Pain And
Stifimess

rthritis is a painful and
Ba senting disease that,

unfortunately, will affect
many of us during our lifetime. Of
those 65 and over, 45% will be
stricken with the disease, with
women being affected more often
than men. For those afflicted, the
slyhtest pressure on inflamed joints
sends pain shooting through their
bodies and for most, their only relief
comes from a variety of anti-arthritic
drugs or over-the-counter medica-
tions. Although this approach does
provide pain relief, it does little to eli-
-minate or alter the arthritic process.
At best, prescription drugs serve
only to relieve symptoms tempor-
arily. Prolonged use will always
damage the body's biological mitieu.
This knowledge and the fear of long

* term side effects has inspired the

search for safe and effective alter-
natives. Let's look at one of these:

Research has shown that group
practice of the transcendental
meditation and TM Sidhi pro-
grams produce an immediate,
positive and lasting impact on
reducing crime at all levels.

Ted White

Violent criminals must serve their
entire sentences with no parole

and some violent offenders, in- -

cluding repeat offenders, must be
put on fifetime parole after
release. Day parole must only be
granted to non-violent offenders
who are participating in -com-
munity work projects.

Clarke L. Astley

Canadian Economic Community
The current system governing
Canada’s criminal code and law
enforcement agencies is too one-
sided and in favor.of the criminal
element.

It makes no logical sense to the
CEC that criminals should receive
three square meals a day for free
when at the same time children go
hungry.

Living in a safe neighborhood i is.a

a tougher line on domestic vio-

Young Offenders Act; in
establishing partnerships between
neighborhoods and law enforce-
ment agencies.

European researchers discovered

devil’s claw root in Namibia, former--

ly South West Africa, at the begin-
ning of this century. It was used as
a folk remedy for the aged until it
was proven as a therapeutic agent

“jn treating arthritis. Controlled

clinical research in Europe compar-
ing the efficacy of a standard anti-
arthritic drug, phenylbutazone, with
that of Devil's Claw Root 410 found
it to be more effective in reducing
pain and inflammation, with no

_ unpleasant side effects.

Those who follow the Devil's Claw
Root 410 regime may notice an
iramediate reduction in pain and
swelling. The anti-inflammatory and
anti-arthritic properties of Devil's
Claw Root 410 are generally observ-
ed within a few weeks, although in
some cases it may take !onger.
Other benefits include relief of
constipation and, over the long term,
reduction of blood cholesterol levels.

Arthritis does not develop over-
night. The underlying causes are
found in the degenerative changes
brought about by faulty nutritional
habits. The human body has mar-
vellous regenerative abilities, but it
needs proper fuel to do its work.

Stress, an important trigger in
arthritic flare-ups, can be controlled
by supplementation with vitamin C
and a B complex (especially vitamin
B3 and pantothenic acid) and daily
doses. of freshly pressed flax seed

oil, along with the devil's claw .. |

regime.
