(CP) — — Folk wisdom says pregnant women are prone to pecullar midnight - cravings for ceacoctions wuch as cill pickles and ice cream. A Coquitlam, B.C., woman is trying to discover whether there's a scientific explanation for such cravings and whether they mean the expectant. mother is lacking essential cutrients. Pregnant women have described to Diane - Thiessen cravings ranging from a midnight feast of 4 balf dozen tomatoes, to burnt popcorn, ice cubes . and even paper. Thiessen, 24, a part-time shidest at Simon Fraser University, is ‘studying women's eating habits - *. before and during pregnancy, as well as:their food preferences, weight gain and general health. She denies ever having had cravings herself, but saya: “Having three babies, it was something I. imew a ttle bit about.” : The most common craving #eported is for sweets — chocolates, ice: cream and. ‘pastries — and — Thiessen belléves it may be that pregnant woiten. ‘tend bo pamper themselves. : = women let loose sometimes," abe sald “nan baerview. “You knew you'll get fat and ugly anyway, £0 what's another pound or two.” Some nutritionists explain cravings by saying pregnant women don't get enough calories. They aren't eating enough for two, 30 they quell their hunger with an odd array of goodies, many of them high in calories. But, filling up with sugar and starch could inean ‘the fetus loses out on essential vitamins and minerals. University of B.C. nutritionist Patrick Stapleton sald little is known about the food cravings of, pregnant women, 50 the calorie-deficiency theory is “as good a reason as any you're going to find.” . Stapleton said there is no doubt expectant mothers need to eat more, especially in the latter part of their pregnancy, but this doesn't explain why some women crave foods they don't normally eat, and want them at unusual’ tlmes. - VICTORIA (ee) - - Doug ‘ Heal, a-‘career public relations man, is attempting to bridge the troubled waters af -the governing Social - Credit party in B.C.

Confidence sbounds from. Heal, 49, who after 24 years in the demanding public relations: field; looks much younger. And while others ’ talk in terms of saving the Social Credit’ party, Heal ‘prefers another approach. ; “There is a much more fundamental requirement _ than winning the next . “I think that, while, the. ~ whole government is having ~ ercel com- -- great- problems municating well - its initiatives and actions, part of that can be helped by . pulting in place a better resource to serve ‘the ministers and the de- partments,” be sai,” Dave ‘Brown, a Heal - "colleague at Lovick’s and . former government com- . “munications adviser, knows, all’ about the perils of inter.” ministry communication — ; r lack of it. “The key to the new situation is that the premier and the cabinet share the same understanding of the tole Heal performs," said .
