characteristic but it also degrades
the human race and it bases its
weekly shows on making fun of
human failure and problems.
For example: One of the many
characters in "SOAP" is the
grandfather. Many people deal
with an aging parent at some time
in their life and this type of
situation can turn out to be very
humourous and full of warm,
loving moments--if it is
approached in the right way. But,
"SOAP" takes the route of
ridicule. The - grandfather is
merely a "thing" to be tolerated
until he dies. He isn't loved by
'anyone--,they shut him out of the
lives that he took such .a great
part in shaping. •
The whole series is full of
instances.like the above. It is the
old story of "get a laugh and
forget about the meaning and
"SOAP"
portrays the human race as being
a group of people who haven't
any depth to their being at- all. It
teaches as that people are
worthless, cheats and liars. Sex is
a toy that is to be thrown away
when a new one comes along.. But
is, this really what, we are? Do you
personally feel you haven't made
a contribution in some way--be it
small or large-
-
to bettering your-
self and your fellow man? I am
very much against insinuations
that this show is really agreeing
to the idea that our race is
composed , of silly, thoughtIss
people with one thing on their
mind—sex. Adultery is a serious
offence but "SOAP" treats it as a
base on which to build a
one-liner.
I believe this series not only
disgraces its producers but it also
`consequences." defeats our most basic beliefs and
the foundations that our society
has worked so hard to maintain--
and all in one short half-hour!
Shouldn't we be doing something
to rectify this situation? Tune in
to 'SOAP". some evening soon
and I'm sure you will wonder how
you could have watched such a
disjointed, mixed-up and
worthless program!

It all started innovently enough
when the ABC network issued its
list of new shows for 1977. There,
snuggled in amongst the
programs, was the following
notattion"SOAP, a radically new
and outrageous form of adult
comedy that serializes the
exploits of two un usual families.
There has never been a television
program like this one!
No, there certainly hasn't!
When the pilot for this series was
shown there were a number of
varied reactions to it. At least two
stations were leary of airing this
show and others thought that it
didn't belong in one of 'the
"prime time': slots. It also caused
upheavals in newspapers and
other forms of the media. Every-
one was assigning a critic to view
this sensational new series that
was to be so characteristic of our
day and age. Well, it may be

isn't easy. It's often easier to
retreat behind some tried-and-
' true excuses for Why you can't
lose weight: "plumpness runs in
my family"; "diets don't work
anyway"; "my fat cells are here
to stay"; "I'm afraid to be thin";
"fat is where I'm at"; "food- is
love". . .
Whatever your favorite excuse,
where there's a will, there's a
way! Make salads a must on your
everyday menus. Raw fruits and
vegetables are tempting and
eye-appealing when served fresh
at their nutritious best :iti„salasis.

A and C, fruits and vegetables
contain iron, thiamin, folic acid (a
13-vitamin), carbohydrate, trace
minerals and fibre. Canada's
Food Guide recommends four to,
five servings of fruits and
vegetables every day including at
least two vegetables. Vegetables,
particularly dark green, yellow
and orange varieties, are a major
source of carotene which is
converted into your body° into

Yogurt is by no means a "wonder
food", but it's not only good but
good for you! Yogurt is one of the

major source of caleium and of
