Diffusing ethnic needs By SALLY ABBOTT is a virture not noted for its longevity, where financial considerations are inwhere commercial 1 broadcasting is conin programming has been known to place to the prospect of turning an ady will die hard if Jan van Bruchem has anything to do with it. Van Bruchem is president and general manager of radio CJVB, which, come mid-June, will fill the local airways 24 hours a day at 1470 KiloHertz the AM band, with a minimum of 55 hours a week of broadcasting beamed exclusively at Vancouver's ethnic population. CJVB has been a long time In conception, and van Bruchem, a native of Holland, says it has very special meaning for him. Its primary aim, aside from the obvious one of making money, is to provide new Canadians with information about Canada, and to make them feel at home. "I know the ethnic market," says van Bruchem.

"I know how much it takes to integrate, to settle, to understand the Canadian way of life. We want to look after the needs of new Canadians. "Our goal is to make people happy." To that end, CJVB will allot four hours each evening for that bulk of the foreignlanguage broadcasting, from 7 to 11. The first hour will be devoted to the German language, the second to Italian, the third to Chinese and the fourth to a linguistic pot pourri of Hungarian, Greek, Norwegian, Croatian, Polish, Portugese, Danish, Ukrainian, Estonian, Finnish, Dutch, Japanese, Hindi and Punjabi. Newcasts will also be broadcast in foreign tongues.

At 11 each evening there will be a direct news broadcast from the bureau of Radio Nederlands in Hilversum, van Bruchem calls the authoritative news voice of Europe. In addition, there will be foreign-language broadcasts Saturday and Sunday afternoons, as well as from 10 to 11:30 a.m. and 2 to 4 p.m. on weekdays for the benefit of Idealism to die hard at the city's new radio station the housewife who is left at home. Morning, noon-hour and late afternoon programming will be in English, with 8 heavy concentration of folk music.

Van Bruchem has a fulltime staff of 15, and 25 freelancers, each 'of the latter fluent in a foreign language, who will plan most of their programs at home and also write many commercial copy that is to be broadcast in a foreign language. As well, there is an 11-man advisory council, each member a leader in his own ethnic community. "If we need advice, if we need help in planning our programs," van Bruchem says, "we can go to them to find out what we should be doing to do a better job." Van Bruchem chose Vancouver for his station to meet Canadian Radio-Television Commission specifications the CRTC will not grant a licence unless it can 'be shown that there are 150,000 to 000 residents in the broadcast area whose mother tongue is other than English or French. Statistics Canada figures show that upwards of 200,000 people in 1 Vancouver are of ethnic background. Van Bruchem did a little research and found out that there are 15 foreign-language newspapers AUTOUR DU VOYAGES, -Ray Allan Photo JAN VAN BRUCHEM knowing what it takes to integrate in Vancouver, with a total of 200,000 people who read them.

In addition, there are 80 churches which conduct their services in foreign languages and 200 ethnic clubs. In granting the licence, the CRTC stipulates that a minimum of 25 per cent and a maximum of 40 per cent of broadcast hours be devoted to foreign-language programming. Van Bruchem says that there is a great need for foreign-language programming Anti-fat drug cuts coronaries Two doctors, sharing the suspicion of a link between blood fat and heart disease, have reported on an anti-fat drug which reduces the heart-attack rate. Writing in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the researchers say the drug, called clofibrate, lowfat levels in the blood and reduced the non-fatal heart-attack rate by more than in a study of more than men. thirds Dr.

Louis Krasno and Dr. George Kidera said that in more than 1,000 men whose average age was 47.5 years the non-fatal heart-attack rate was 1.89 per 1,000 each year for men treated with the drug, and 6.6 per 1,000 each year for untreated men. The difference was even more striking in more than 2,000 men 10 years younger. Treated, their heart attack rate was .64 per 1,000 each year; untreated it was 5 per 1,000 each year. Although the definitive cause of coronary heart disease still is unknown, the authors said the results of their study support the theory of a strong association between high blood-fat levels and coronary heart disease.

Many physicians have suspected this for some time and have prescribed various measures such as low cholesterol diets to normalize the fat content of their patients' blood. Because dietary management is often difficult, the researchers decided to try a drug approach to the problem. The physicians studied three groups of men totalling 3,286 for up to five years. Group 1 was made up of 1,001 men free of conorary heart disease and 67 men with disease whose average age was 47.5 years. These men were divided into two groups of 550 and 518, for risk factors such as age, blood pressure, cholesterol level, electrocardiogram results, body weight, cigarette smoking, history of heart attack, family and personal history, alcohol consumption and urban versus suburban living.

The 518 in the treatment group were given clofibrate capsules four times a day. The 550 men in the control group were untreated for an initial 39-month period, and then they too received clofibrate therapy for the remaining 23 months of study. Groups 2 and 3 consisted of younger men without coronary heart disease and an average age of 37.5 years. Those in group 2 received clofibrate therapy for more than years. Group 3 was given no therapy and observed for just under two years.

As a result of this study the researchers found that: Treatment with clofibrate dramatically lowered the incidence of non-fatal heart attack. Clofibrate seemed to give the same degree of "protection" from heart attack whether high bloodfat levels no response, "Showed partial response, or more complete response to the drug. elle international 620 Seymour St. IMPORTED THE FOLLOWING FABRICS FOR WEDDINGS Flocked Polyester Sheers Cotton Sheers Reg. price 4.00 Sale yd.

But idealism By ARTHUR J. SNIDER The diagnostic term is not found in psychiatric textboks but Dr. Aman Khan of Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago calls it the "mama's boy" syndrome. He believes it fits a number of small who are poor achievers, cannot make friends, shy away from aggressive children and are frequently, called friends. "baby" or by their They spend most of their time in front of the television set or helping mother with chores.

They wind up in Dr. Khan's clinic because the mother finds herself unable to meet the extra demands of the child for her time and attention. Psychiatrists shudder when they encounter the situation because treatment has been largely unsuccessful. There's much more involved than an overprotective mother who infantilizes 8 child, he finds. The problem is the interaction between mother and child.

The mother derives too large a share of life's pleasures from the child. She may have no other interest. The child is overly dependent on the mother. The relationship may have developed during an illness in early infancy and continued long after the illness passed. Or it may separation of the involves in the child's infancy and a consequent need to stay together.

Sometimes there is guilt resulting from the mother's actual or fantasied rejection of the child. Various therapies have been tried but few have been effective in changing the personality structure of either patient, Dr. Khan says. He and his colleagues concluded a bold approach physical separation of mother and child was necessary. In a typical case, the child was placed in the hospital and a program was developed to make him more independent.

He was compelled to manage his own routine care, dress and make his own himself, was told he could not see his parents until he began doing things for himself. A system of rewards was instituted. Meanwhile, the mother was being treated as an outpatient to give her insight into her feelings of depression and loneliness. She was encouraged to meet other people, take a job, join clubs.

Eventually, he was allowed to spend weekends at home.

Eight weeks after admission, he was discharged but psychiatric treatment continued on a once a week basis for both. By the end of seven months, the mother and child each had acquired their independent areas of interest. The mother was working full-time in a restaurant. Thirteen patients, ages 5 to 13 have now been treated. Nine have benefitted.

Separation of child and mother is not a new Idea. Many therapists have sent children to live with a relative or spend a few weeks in a summer camp. However, this does not seem to have a lasting effect, says Dr. Kahn, probably because no therapeutic pressure is put on the child and the mother to work out their feelings of mutual dependency. While many psychiatrists do not like to put a child in hospital unless seriously disturbed, this environment offers a controlled situation to bring about this pressure, he believes.

He cites CFMB in Montreal, which has been in foreignlanguage broadcasting for 10 years, and CHIN in Toronto, in business for six years, to prove that it can be done. And as the clincher, he says that he is so confident in his venture, he has sold his home in Thornhill, to move here. If it doesn't work, they can't live up to the commitments they made in their application for a licence to broadcast "then the licence is revoked by the CRTC," van Bruchem says simply. But that would be the end of an ideal.

The protective effect of clofibrate therapy became evident within one to three months of treatment. No men with normal bloodfat levels, whether treated or untreated, developed any evidence of heart attack. Clofibrate therapy appear to make a significant difference in death rates between treated and untreated men. Since the beginning of the study six men died from cardiac causes in the treated groups and eight in the untreated groups. The researchers concluded that since clofibrate lessened the incidence of coronary heart disease, even without significant lowering of bloodfat levels, some other mechanisms may be at work, perhaps as yet unknown.
