to Marg Meikle and Bill
Richardson of CBC fame

Marg, the"Answer Lady” on
Vicki Gabereau’s show, read
selections from her book called,
appropriately enough, “The
Answer Lady”

She informed us that Red
Velvet Cake, famous in eastern
parts a few years back, got its
famous color from using a
whole bottle of cochineal, which
is red dye made from the dried
bodies of femate cochineal
insects

The color, she says, is blood

food coloring is no longer made
from cochineal but from
petroleum based byproducts, if
that's much of a comfort. For
that matter, most artificial fla
vors are made that way these
days.

Marg says she's written on
everything from computers to
gardening and it appears that
she's becoming an expert on
slugs.

Did you know that slugs don't
like copper? Maybe there's
some use for those zillions of
useless pennies we acquire after
all. Marg also explained the old
saying, “Pinch and a punch, first
day of the month,” going on to
site even sillier aspects of the
same saying

Next, she explained a little bit
about how CBC operates, such
as the fact that CBC in New-
foundland is broadcast 4 hours
before CBC in British
Columbia. Interspersed through-

out Marg’s presentation, we
heard from Bill Richardson who
is both an occasional host and a
contributor to the Gabereau
show.

From his book ,"Queen of all
the Dustballs”, he reads a selec
tion called, “After the Deluge”,
about the tragic loss of his cook
books when his aquarium, (pur
chased for his girlfriend), let
loose its sides

He came home to find the
fish flipping: and salvageable,
but his cookbooks, housed on
the shelf underneath the aquari
um, sadly drenched. He contem.
plates how personal cookbooks
are, how each one has a story to
tell about how he acquired them
and he thinks about his favorite
recipes that are lost

He also read a story about a
lady's personality change after
finally getting her driver's
license in her late thirties. The
audience really enjoyed these

the mishaps of Waffle, the cat,
who was “altered”, and some

Lottery Numbers Can Be Arranged

All lottery numbers have an equal chance of being picked in a random
draw. So whatever numbers you choose to play have the same chances of
winning. But, how you use these numbers is where your chances of a
win can be changed in your favour. Arranging these numbers into the
optimum combination is where we can be of great assistance

We have, thru the use of our computer, designed a set of easy to use
charts that allows you to do just that. With our chart you will be able to
combine from 9 to 18 numbers into the lowest possible number of
combinations to ensure more wins. Provided, of course, that at least 3 of
your numbers are drawn. When you use the 18 number chart you are
using more than 1/3 of all the numbers in a 49 number lottery. We
believe that there really is a way to win a cash prize on over 33% of all
random lottery draws that have a pick 6 format. Our testing at one point
reached an astonishing 72.3% win ratio in 100 consecutive draws.

Does the fact that the lottery organization makes less and you win more
sound good? Then order our ultimate system now and start winning! For
less than the cost of a $10 lottery ticket, you can buy one of our complete

If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with our system, then
