During WWII, I had the somewhat dubious privelege of living in "Bomb Alley" S.E. London, N.W. Kent - a land mine took off the roof of our house, the front garage dis- appeared (24 ft x 12" rafters) and also blew off the rear of one of the Burt houses. We kept 75 hens, and they gave us the average of one egg per day. Recently, on a trip to the UK, I was in Scotland for two weeks, and being on farrn property there were sheep everywhere. I was outside the bungalow we'd rented, and suddenly there was . a . deafening noise and big black planes 'came roaring over the reforested tip of a mountain. I literally ducked, they appeared to be so low, presumably they were practising NOE flying, (Nap of the Earth) as they went quickly out of sight following the ground levels. the sheep and the dog (Alsatian) didn't budge - kept ,on eating as usual., The above mentioned hens were placidly sitting in the nest boxes the morning after and did not attempt to leave the hen run which was then wide open to the rest of the garden. My mother kept three different breeds of hens, and they were not kept in cages. ' The sante mine also blew away a transformer, nothing of it was ever - found (danger signs were all around). It was behind fencing, but all of the house lights came on again after 10 -15 minutes so we had to switch them off as all our blackout tnaterials were also lost. That house, in common with others on that street, had double brick walls. Luckily for us it merely wiped out the top storey and attic. To be added to all the racket there was an AA gun which popped in and out of the Syndenham Hill railway tunnel to fire and then re- treated. If it hadn't been so serious it could have been termed funny (ha ha). Somewhat of a jack-in-the- box effect! I don't know what kind of gun it was, I do know that it was noisy, but somehow we managed to keep going as usual. I was a library assistant at the time, and believe it or not, we were urged not to volunteer for any of the services as it was important to keep the library functioning! I just arrived in Canada a day or two ahead of VE Day in one of the last convoys complete with V -Boat afloat for almost three days in mid- Atlantic. 1 wanted to take the next ship hack to celebrate, we had a combined church service. My son just three at that time, wore a' rust jacket and leggings outfit with vel- vet collar embarassed me by quiet- ly walking out of the pew we were seated in. to stand in front of the minister just taking in the service, and gazing at him as if he under- stood it all. It will be 50 years ago this month since 1 first landed here. Arden is a very small village, but there were dances, and people just went out. My husband - one of three brothers who were in the artil- lery did not come hack until late Dec '45 as he'd been in the Army of Occupation in Germany near Ol- denburg. His two brothers were hack in approximately 3-5 months. Ross was "over there" in '39. He went with his fellow troops, drove their trucks and guns into the sea after disabling them all. He didn't take part in the Dunkirk evacuation but went back to the UK from Brest or Cherbourg. We lived not far from the Southern Railway and it seemed to be a never-ending string of trains going by with all kinds of different uniforms. The men were waving as they went by to regroup and get ready for another time. I could write a book on my nine lives! But don't worry. I won't. Margaret Worm worth Wingham Dear Editor: In June 1991, I was diagnosed with advanced Hodgkin's disease (cancer of the Lymphatic system). I was 42 at the time and knew I had little left to live. For the fol- lowing three months I tried several alternative treatment methods - a11 with no success. The only way I was eligible for paid leave of absence was by sub- mitting myself to chemotherapy. At about the same time as I started taking chemotherapy, I met the man who discovered Metabol- ic Therapy. I started this most astounding therapy immediately and was subsequently completely cured. I have proof of this with x- rays that were taken at another hospital not associated with the cancer clinic and therefore did not have a vested interest in my ill- ness. I stopped taking chemothera- py after the third session because I had the oncologist's signature for my insurance claim. The on6ologist sent me threat- ening letters. In a letter dated Feb. 19, 1992, he guaranteed that I would be dead within three years unless I continued chemotherapy. I then went into hypnotherapy to help deal with the stress and fright I experienced from these letters. The three years have passed and thanks to Metabolic Therapy, I am now healthier than I was before • cancer. The therapist and I became friends, and since then, I have wit- nessed miraculous healings. Brother Frank has healed the most serious cases of cancer, leukemia, arthritis, MS, Parkinson's, ALS, manic depression, and others. All of this with natural ingredients and NO DRUGS. Needless to say, the government and the medical estab- lishment have no interest in Meta- bolic Therapy. People should be given a choice to take Metabolic Therapy rather than surgery, radiation, and chem- otherapy (slash, burn, and poison). If this would be the case, many, like myself, would be alive today. As it is now, the public is being deprived of this choice for the sake of maintaining the medical establishment's monopoly on our lives. Alannah Sandwell North Vancouver, B.C. in Bruce County won't face any layoffs this year. Board finance chair Frank Ea- gleson said resignations, retire- ments and leaves of absence mean that none of the 275 full-time equivalent secondary teachers will be declared surplus to the board. "We wish to make that declara- tion today," Eagleson said. Noth- ing that the secondary teachers' contact sets April 24 as the notice deadline for layoffs. The board has already an- nounced that there will be no lay- offs of Oementary teachers this year. Last year more than three dozen elementary and secondary teachers went through months of uncertain; ty after the board gave notice they could be laid off. No layoffs actually occurred, though there were a number of transfers from one school to an- other. SOLUTIONS //%,, CleanSweep SATURDAY MAY 6TH ONLY! ACROSS 1. Bossy 4. Sinew 8. Act 9. Wares 10.
