You with the neglected roots who has to take a glycerine pill before you go into your son's room... who has spent a lifetime of shouting, ‘We'll see,'' and wonders If a convent will take a woman who considers Sara Lee a god. 1 want you to imagine for a moment what It Is IIke to be a child. It might help. juppose you were so Insecure about yoursell that you had to call your neighbor each morning to find out if she's wearing a skirt or Jeans that day. Suppose you thought you'd flatter your child by imitating his spitting, using slang and belching openly and he sald to you, ‘'That's disgusting.’' Suppose your children never caught you ‘being Suppose you had to eat a ‘‘good breakfast'’ white your children dieted and. when you sald you weren't hungry they sald, ‘That's different." , Suppose your children forbade you to touch their games, bedroom, tolletries, clothee, or halr dryers, but when they borrowed your things told you, “If you don't share, you're selfish.'’ Suppose the child you loved asked you for the truth and when you told her the truth she said you were lying and believed a woman she had never seen before and whose name she couldn't pronounce. . Suppose you: told your child something very personal In strict confidence and later overheard her telling it to her girifriend on the phone, Suppose your child dragged you away from your favorite TV show to visit a friend and told you and the friend's mother to go off and learn to know each other until it was time to go home. Suppose a child named you: ‘'Larkspur’’ or ‘Unplanned.’ Would you be forgiving? Suppose you lived in fear because an English teacher told you you'd never amount to anything unless you could diagram a sentence. Suppose someone said, ‘‘You're all grown up, aren't you?"’ and you still didn’t know what you wanted to be. But worse . . . suppose everone told you these are the best days of your life. Have a good day. Waterproof now to avoid winter woes My ear, nose and throat doctor has found that I have a white patch on one of my vocal cords, I can’t spell the name. What worrles me is can it turn into a cancer? What can be done about it? — Mr. J.L.C., Conn, Dear Mr. C.: The condition you describe known as “leukoplakia,” These white patches can also occur in the mouth, on the tongue and on the palate. They are readily recognized by their white or gray color. Irritation due to pipe smoking and cigarette at regular intervals, just to be sure that no problem is developing. Simple, painless biopsies are often made as a safety precaution. see I've been trying to tell my son that drinking very hot fluids is dangerous. He won't listen to me. How can I con- vince him? He is 15, He drinks coffee that is so hot I can barely touch the outside of the Your son is not alone in this “21"' Club the most cause. Some people have a tendency to bite the inner surface of their cheeks. This may produce these white patches, too. Dental prublems that chronically irritate the mucous membrane lining of the mouth, and badly fitting dentures, are also known causes of leukoplakia, By a simple procedure, known as “laryngoscopy,” the leukoplakial patch can be removed. It is then studied under the microscope to see if there are any other more serious aspects of the con- dition. Sometimes, leukoplakia are foolish habit. Many doctors have seen patients with severe burns of the lips, the tongue, it the palate, the pharynx and even the esophagus, caused by drinking extremely hot fluids, Can you imagine what such heat can do to the delicate lining of the mouth when it can actually cause a severe burn of the skin? Fortunately, the body's defenses are great. The cooling mechanism for hot fluids is quite remarkable, but it is unfair to impose unreasonable heat on the body A legend in its:time — Perhaps it is the almost mili- tary precision of the staff, com- bined with the willingness to please, that has established the “21"* Club as one of the world’s most famous restau- rants, Renowned for its menu and ambiance, the ‘'21"" has a his- tory that pre-dates prohibition, Though it has operated under a variety of names at several lo- cations, the club's caviar, Steak Diane and generous pouring of spirits never left the tradition.

Peter Moore told the Castlegar News she would present council's resolution at the meeting of B.C. Hydro, RDCK and RDKB spokes- men scheduled to\meet at the Hi Arrow Arms Motor Hotel at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
