Midget ¢ Bantam - Pee Wee . While I was on my way this morning to pay my respects to old friends in the Abbey's quict cemetery on the hillside, a noisy uproar broke out in the nearby maple woods. It was immediate- ly obvious that a lone rash crow (judging by his solitary voice) had invaded this sanctuary, probably looking for an easy breakfast of eggs and baby birds.

There are some drugs that might have a slightly lesser effect with yogurt, but our pharmacist staff can adviee you on this. ‘A company in California ie hoping to make millions from the sales of a drug called “Detoxahof’. it is supposed to reduce the time for the body to eliminate alcohol from as much as eight houre to 2 few minutes, This drug ls still. at least 5 years away from getting approval in the U.8. and even longer in Canada. Our skin ages in two ways. One is ‘chronological aging” which is an inherited “photoaging” tendency to age. The other is oF solar-induced aging resulting from the sun damage. You can ‘t do much about the first type but using sunscreens can certainly sow down the second. Let our pharmacists help you choose the right sunscreen.

Our times demand of us that we remember and learn from the holocaust. Surviving it is a mira- cle that deserves to be under- stood. This tale is not only for the Storyteller’s art; it is a monstrous and monumental truth of which the authentic mythology of our time is constructed. Timothy Findley makes much the same point in his portrayal of Noah in Not Wanted on the Voyage. Hero's need not be saints. Before the credits come up, just in case we missed it, a bio- graphical note tells us that Schindler lived on after the war. He failed at more businesses. His marriage failed, and we can guess why. He was no angel, not even a saint. But a hero?

In August of 1991, I was told I had brain cancer and my chances of living another five years were at best 50-50. When word of this leaked to my friends, two of them began a let- ter,— and card-writing cam- paign. All the pilots employed by our airline got involved. The response was overwhelm- ing, I received stacks of cards and letters every day, The doc- tors and nurses also let me know they were interested in my recovery and gave me a lot of T.L.C. The all-female team in the radiation department where I took my treatment deserves spe- cial mention for its perpetual smiles and supportive attitude. My pilot buddies collected enough money to send me and my family to Disney World for a beautiful vacation. Surrounded by all that love, I couldn't help but get better. I am now classified as a cancer survivor, and the support of my friends continues to this day. I am convinced that “friend therapy” can be a big factor in recovery. To all those incredible people who helped me in my time of need, I say thank you and may God bless you. - Robert Berry, Shreveport, La. Dear Robert Berry: Your “mir- acle” story is not the first I've heard. While I am not suggesting that positive thinking can cure cancer, there is a great deal of evidence that the immune system does respond to what goes on in the brain. Thanks for a real upper.
