Seaforth's hospital food not
alone in its poor quality
To the editor,
I agree wholeheartedly to Betty
MacLean's comments about the
food at Seaforth Hospital.
But Seaforth Hospital is not
alone in this case. In the last two
years, I have been in . and out of
four hospitals, namely Kitchener -
Waterloo, Stratford, Seaforth and
University Hospital, London and
the food was the same everywhere.
My opinion of the pork was that
it was like rubber besides tasting
like sawdust. The toast was like a
limprag and complaints could go
on and on.
The doctors can do so much but
good food goes a long way to recov-
ery too.

CBC program recommended
for better understanding
•
of cancer prevention
To the editor,
By popular demand, CBC has
agreed to air Wendy Mesley's
exceptional program on the preven-
tion of cancer five more times.
Furthermore, CBC has extended
the original program to a one-hour
version, thereby enabling viewers
to obtain a greater understanding
of what needs to be done to prevent
cancer in our lives.
•
•
The final two programs will be
aired on CBC Newsworld on
Saturday, April 22 at 11 p.m. and
on Sunday, April 23 at 2 a.m.
Readers interested in the preven-
tion of cancer should tune in one of
the remaining hour-long shows.
Perhaps CBC will not repeat this
important program a seventh time!
