Best said the new name will conform more closely with that of a Vancouver-based umbrella group for disabled persons' rights. He said the change was also made "be• cause we are people first, who happen to have disabilities. We are more than just disabled; we have abilities, too."

For Gulf Islands Property Appraisals Wants to make salmon able to survive icy waters But back to organic anti-freeze: In that Newfoundland laboratory, scientist Amie Sutterlin is currently working to make such a development reality for local hard-pressed fishermen. He wants to make Atlantic salmon to survive and thrive in icy Newfoundland winter waters where only the blood chemistry of the ROSCOMMON T0WNH0MES winter flounder survives when water temperatures drop below freezing. Sutter• lin is taking up the needle, not only for fading chasers of wild salmon but also for the future of aquaculture along the whole Canadian east coast. No use rais• ing pens of farm-bred salmon if an icy wave can kill them all overnight. According to fish physiologist Garth Fletcher of the same institution, the flounders' liver was responsible for the excretion of this biological magic. So the answer was simple: find "the anti-freeze gene." Thanks to the wonders of biotechnology, the project is well underway. They have implanted the anti-freeze gene in Atlantic salmon eggs. Now not only are such scientists trying to make salmon grow larger, more rapidly at lower cost but they want them to grow where they have never grown before — in freezing water! Such gene-manipulated eggs would hatch into salmon which would have the anti-freeze gene in every body cell. Of course this didn't just happen. Fellow scientist, Malaysian-born Choy Hew had previously been working on flounder protein structure involved with the then-unknown anti-freeze gene in 1981.

Storey of Carlton University in Ottawa has recently found another animal — the painted turtle — that regularly freezes in winter and thaws out in the spring with no harmful results. It appears that the turtle knows how to dehydrate by removing damaging freezing water from its cells which would normally puncture and fatally damage blood cells. When warm weather returns, the shrunken cells absorb the thawing water and revive.
