ARIES - March 21/April 20
You could be moving towards an
important financial commitment

a decision. A friend will help you tie
up some loose ends that have been
Preventing you from making social
plans. The end of the week could
easily turn into a romantic time.
TAURUS - April 21/May 21
A problem at work that's been
dragging on for a long time looks
like it’s going to be cleared up very
soon. It’s going to make you a lot
busier — but a lot happier. Do your

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

You may be led on to make an
important decision in the very near
future — and it could involve uproot-
ing yourself. This is an ideal time for
changes of any sort — you will find
that you can settle into new surround-
ings very quickly. Friends keep your

social life extremely busy this week.

SAGITTARIUS — Nov 2D®¢ 21
Try to ex yourself a little more
clearly this week. Stating your opin-
ions directly will help prevent People
from drawing incorrect conclusions

best to avoid confr this
week and — most importantly
control your temper.

GEMINI - May 22/June 21
You've probably been letting yourself
go a bit, and it's time you started
watching your health. You may begin
the week feeling a bit under the
weather and, if you're not careful, it
could develop into something more
severe. But there's some welcome
news about a friendship you've been
trying to strengthen for some time.
CANCER — June 22/July 22
You could find yourself dragged into
a rather awkward situation over the
next few days — and although you
won't feel much like getting in
volved, you're going to find it very
difficult to stay out of it. There is
some good news on the way regard-
ing a project you are involved in. A
package you've been expecting
finally arrives.

LEO - July 23/August 23
Money matters are going to be caus-
ing you a bit more concern than
usual — and you may have to alter
one or two rather ambitious plans
you've been making. Make yourself
listen to advice a bit more — and try
to curb any extravagant tendencies.
Keep up on current events

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

Be patient with friends who seem
inconsistent — you'll find it will pay
off in the end, as you may need their
help with a complicated problem
later on. There's going to be a
change. in weekend plans, but what
you end up doing will be more fun
than the original plan.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
You're going to be very busy these
next few days — and you could get
heavily involved in a new project. A
few words of advice: Don't be abrupt
with people who express doubts
about your ideas; they have your
interests at heart. An old flame could
tum up on the social scene again

about your attitudes — and you'll
the ity of unwar-
ranted hostility. This week, there's a
chance of meeting someone (proba-
bly a Capricorn) who could have a
Positive influence on your future.
CAPRICORN -— Dec 22/Jan 20
Someone you haven't seen for a
long time takes you by surprise. It
should be a pleasant meeting. At
work, the emphasis is going to be on

teamwork. You'll find you achieve
quite a lot by combining forces with
colleagues. It's a good week for
domestic activity as well, especially
if you are planning any home
improvements.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Your already-busy social life gets
even busier! You'll. be the center of
attraction socially — and that will
bring you closer to someone you've
been trying to impress. A rather big
worry that has been troubling you
gets resolved. The solution might be
a bit of a surprise to you at first —

and it may take some courage on
your part to take the first steps
toward sorting things out.
PISCES - Feb 19/March 20
You will meet someone new in the
next day or two — someone who
turns out to be very special in the
months ahead. Don’t hurry things,
though, or you might scare him or
her off. An unexpected invitation
involving new and interesting people
is on its way. Overcome shyness and
you'll meet with success
YOUR BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK
‘he next 12 months:
You have a'warm heart and are very
generous, but you have a mean
streak, too. Don’t let a good friend
become the butt of your jokes —
there's just so much kidding he or
she will take. You could lose a very
valuable friendship. You may be
considering a career move. If so,
September would be a very good
time for a change. New romance is
likely for spring.

}-aggressiveness was reduced.
3: - A physician at Johns Hop-
:ckins Medical School reported in
zApril that a 21-year-old college
? zstudent suffers from a condition
:2(phantosmia") that causes her to
‘emit a foul odor so overpowering
:athat she cannot eat or engage in
Yordinary school activities
because she cannot concentrate.
~ '.- According to a panel of
* physicians at a medical conven-
tion in Chicago in February,
human error by hospital doctors
and staff accounts for 200,000
deaths a year in the United States
{though half of those would die
‘anyway of the ailments that sent
them to the hospital). One doctor
estimated that 3.7 percent of
patients suffer a disabling injury,
or worse, during a hospital stay,
and more than 1 million suffer
some kind of accidental injury.

-- The Niagara County, N.Y.,
sheriff's office reported in’ March
that a 38-year-old man from
Wheatfield, N.Y., had been taken
to DeGraff Memorial Hospital
suffering from the effects of a do-
it-yourself castration performed
with clamps, a scalpel and a local
anesthetic. He said he needed to
reduce his sex drive.

— Researchers at Merck Sharp
& Dohme pharmaceutical house,
seeking a powerful blood coagu-
lant, are studying a "provocative
and interesting” new substance:

pire-bat saliva. Preliminary
research on rabbits showed the
saliva to be several times more
effective than the next best sub-

CHUTZPAH

-- Last year, after Galaxy
Cheese Co.'s factory in New Cas-
Ue, Pa, burned to the ground, the
owner relocated to Orlando, Fla.,
taking along 23 employees but
leaving dozens of others behind.
Recently, Northwood, another
cheese company, moved to New
Castle and hired many of the
laid-off Galaxy workers. Galaxy
then notified those left behind
that it would take legal action
against them because the former
workers were still covered by
their promise to Galaxy not to
work for any other cheese com-
pany in New Castle for two years
after “leaving” Galaxy.
