When rescuers pulled him from the icy depths. resuscitation began, and in a hospital, he was revived. Miraculously he survived with only minor injuries to his hands, which were improving with therapy. An infant, born with a heart defect that until recent years would have caused certain death before the age of two, underwent com- plicated surgery in which he was clinically dead for one hour. Proof of the successful operation was evidenced about a year after surgery by the presence of a TV studio of the active. in- quisitive toddler. Additional medical miracles and surgical and technological advances were featured that viewers might not have otherwise learned about. Strength was the subject of many stories. A weightlifter had broken a record in his weight classification, but the feat was not recognized because he was not wearing proper shoes. In face, he wasn't wearing shoes at all. because he had no feet. That's Incredible gave him a chance to repeat the accomplishment on national TV. He failed but vowed to train harder and try again when he was in better shape. Another program featured a high school football player. He was no better than his teammates: he was on a par with them. The only difference was he played with only one leg. One of the other players recalled that in the first practice he thought he'd take it easy on the 'poor guy'. Before he had a chance to take it easy. he was on the seat of his pants. That's when he began to recognize the equality of his new team- mate. Many other topics have been highlighted on televi- sion programs, such as That's Incredible. I have come to the conclusion they are interesting because they deal with real people. Stunt men are real people, too. I still don't understand their motivation, and the stunt segments are my least favourite -parts of the shows. But. now I have a better un- derstanding of the populari- ty of the over-all programs. MR. AND MRS.

A few weeks ago I was con- cerned with television shows that used dangerous stunts to attract audiences. I didn't understand their popularity. but I realized I was con- sidering only small segments of the programs. 1 decided to take a closer look. The show, that caused the most controversy and that I had the most opportunity to watch. was 'That's In- credible.' The stunt session still didn't excite me, even though experienced stuntsmen and a psychiatrist tried to explain their motiva- tion. Other parts of the shows were informative; a few seemed far-fetched. Some were entertaining and some Odds 'n ends A closer look inspiring. Most were in- teresting because they dealt with real people. Animals got into the acts as well. A dog raced motor- cycles. with his master at the controls, of course. A bunny was introduced on national TV as the number - one -ranked surfer in the rab- bit class. He was also the only rabbit in his class. I was not impressed. I suppose I'm just not a bunny surfing fan at heart. A lady bought a painting at a thrift store and underneath discovered a portrait that mysteriously resembled her. She had not sat for the pain- ting. She could not explain the resemblance nor why she had been enticed to buy that particular picture. Many mysterious things happen in life. and this one was duly dramatized. By this time, I admit I was bored. Then some in- teresting and truly incredi- ble stories came on. A young boy fell through ice on a pond and was trapped underwater for TV cooking school planned for seniors Sooner or later every homemaker runs into the problem of what to prepare for lunch or dinner. How to perk up flagging appetites or come up with something just a little bit different. For the Senior Citizen the problem can be compounded. For many it is how to prepare nutritious. well- balanced meals for one or two people on a limited budget. Others experience difficulties in buying small amounts or in storing food. The shopping and cooking habits of a lifetime may need altering to accom- modate a change in cir- cumstances. Or there may be little motivation to prepare meals. It is too easy to fall into the habit of subsisting on lit- tle more than soup, tea and toast. That's where the senior chef comes in. It is a half- hour television show featur- ing Bert Dodd. 65 year old amateur chef and former civil servant. He is not a professional TV performer. but this adds to his presenta- tion. He is not above nagging his audience from time to ime to become more active and interested in a variety of things because as he says "one gets a bigger bang out of life that way". Reactions of seniors who have viewed the series is of surprise and delight as the discovery that nutritious meals need not be expen- sive. that they are simple and easy to prepare. The easy informality of Bert Dodd himself, makes it fun to cook along with him. And not only seniors enjoy and benefit from the show, young singles, and young married couples are also captivated by the simplicity and economy of the menus presented. The television series con- sist of thirteen, half-hour programes on food prepara- tion. food budgeting, selec- tion and menu planning. It was produced by the British Columbia Ministry of Health especially for senior citizens. The Senior Chef Cookbook will tie available for a nominal fee. You will be able to watch the Senior Chef of CKNX, Channel 8 on Saturdays, commencing January 17th at 11:30 a.m. Tune in, enjoy the show, and find out how to order your copy of the cookbook.
