WINNIPEG (CP) — Iva

CONFIDENTIAL REPORT: Cathy Lee Crosby is used to
watching daring stunt men flirt with death on ‘That's In-
credible.’ But the stunning star thinks it's even more in-
credible that millions of American youths flirt with death
every day by experimenting with deadly drugs. In an ef-
fort to battle this terrible problem, Cathy Lee has devoted
her tife to wiping out drug abuse. She's the leader of a

growing band of

celebrities who are spreading the word

to kids that drugs are killers, "I feel | must encourage
young people not to become involved with drugs," Cathy
Lee told me from her home in Los Angeles. “They destroy
your body, and | believe a healthy body Is the most Im-
portant thing a person can have, My health means more
to me than anything, even my career.” Cathy Lee is a

tireless worker for Narconon,

a leading anti-drug

organization based in Los Angeles. She travels all over
America to educate teenagers on the hazards of drug,
abuse, says Narconon director Mario Davis. “The kids
teally look up to her, so they listen hard to what she has
to say,” Davis told me. "She has devoted hundreds of
hours to our work, and she. always helps out whenever
she can.” Cathy Lee's anti-drug crusade has taken her to
prisons, churches, youth clubs and anywhere else she
can warn kids that drugs aren't the answer to ariything.
