Garry Moritz, the accident occurred at about 2:35 p.m. Sun- day, Oct. 20, when a 1989 Subaru driven by a New Aiyansh man col- lided with the bicycle. The Subaru sustained about $1,500 in damage; by comparison the cyclist was for- . tunate. Moritz says he was treated for injuries at Mills Memorial Hospital and was later released.

BCAS FIRST AID TIP: With the onset of cold, wet weather hypothermia can be a real threat to the outdoor enthusiast. To prevent hypothermia, dress warmly in lay- ers of clothing with an outer layer . made of a windproof material. Also, carry a supply of caloric foods such as candy bars and extra clothing in case the weather changes, A special tip for parents of smal! children: children cool much faster than adults and are more susceptible to hypothermia. This is especially important to remember when small children are carried in a backpack. Confined in this manner, children are unable to exercise and produce the body heat necessary to ward off hypothermia.

But it was not until after the Sec- ond War, in- 1920, that the poppy was adopted as a symbol by the United States Legion and in 1921 by the Great War Veterans, the forerunners of the Royal Canadian Legion in Canada. In 1922, the VetCraft Shops for disabled veterans under the spon- sorship of the Department of Sol- diers Civil Re-establishment began to make poppies for sale. distributing and selling the wreaths and boutonnieres ever since, Funds from the sale of poppies are used to help veterans and their dependents in every way, particu- larly assistance in pension applica- tions and appeals, through the - often overwhelming maze of regu- lations and legislation. The money is held in trust for use as needs arise. The numbers of original vet- erans are shrinking, but their needs and that of their dependents change and continue, as do those of today’s armed forces members, the younger veterans of the Kore- an War and the Gulf War.
