over the fence and bounded off, hopefully to safer grazing.

Secretaries are needed for
research on stress at work

PSYCHOLOGISTS AT the Uni-
versity of British Columbia (UBC)
would like volunteers to par-
ticipate in a study on women,
work, and stress.

“Considering that female cleri-
cal and secretarial workers ac-
count for nearly one third of all
working women, and the degree
of stress that is typically experi-
enced by them, there is surprising-
ly little research done in this
area,’’ says Dr. Bonita Long of
the UBC Counselling Psychology
Department.

Participants in the study will be

asked to complete one question-

Naire per month over a_ three-
month period. The information
from these will be kept confiden-
tial and anonymous,

At the completion of the study,
a summary of the group results
will be published. The results may
help give some insight into the
coping skills some women use to
deal with stressful situations.

If you are interested in par-
ticipating in this study or would
like more information, call Karen
piood. research assistant, at 822-

Money raised for ALS

NORTH SHORE residents helped
raise more than $2,371 during the
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
(ALS) Flower Days °92, held June
5 and 6. All money raised in this
campaign goes directly to research
into the cause and cure of ALS
which is also known as Lou
Gehrig’s Disease.

ALS is a terminal
neuromuscular disease that is in-
creasing in incidence in B.C. After
diagnosis, a person’s average life

expectancy is four years.

Elaine Fonseca, Bernie
Guichon, Dick Kent and Peter
Forster and 40 people who have
made up their teams of volunteers
were at Park Royal, Capilano
Mall, Westview Shopping Centre
and Lonsdale Quay to raise funds
for the cause.
