PL More organ donors needed A recent article I read reinforced in my mind that I will never be a con- noisseur of fine foods - if you can call frogs' legs fine food. Gourmets will be forced to pay more for this so called delicacy, due to a 40 per cent increase in cost during the past two years. The reason - major suppliers such as China, India slid Bangladesh are reducing exports because frogs are valuable consumeof flies and other pest insects. Yuk! -Frog leg lovers take heart - Japan and the Phillipines are fill- ing the demand, at a retail price of $7 per pound. For the low sum of $25 per serving you may satisfy your cravings for this so called delicacy. I have not tried frogs' legs and really don't feel inclined to try sampling these so called delicacies. I really don't feel I could face putting part of the anatomy of an amphibian, that eats insects, into my mouth, let alone swallowing it! I have been told that they taste quite similar to chicken Well, I'll take that person's word for it! How do you feel about caviar, which is another relatively expensive appetizer? Yuk again. But if you enjoy it, who I am to criticize? I simply know my taste buds are not cultivated enough to eat the salted eggs of salmon or sturgeons! Does escargot make your taste buds water? Not mine folks - just the thought of eating snails, no matter how edible they are reported to be, makes me cringe. R AMBLINGS by Pat Livingston I feel the same way about the heart, tongue and gizards of any other beast we humans eat. Once an eater of bologna, I now stay away from it, thanks to a remark Mr. Fixit made. I still don't know whether it was true or not, but it was enough to turn me off! As a child, I recall eating moose meat, which I didn't know was moose meat at the time. We were visiting my relatives in Newfoundland and a moose to me was the huge animal I viewed out my bedroom window one morning, it wasn't something served up on the dinner table. After the dishes were done my mother kindly told me what I had eaten. For lack of better terminology - I almost croaked! I haven't touched it since. Sil- ly, I know but that's the way I am. I admit I am inexperienced when it comes to the "finer" foods of life. and for $25 a serving I am not about to try frogs' legs - just slap a good of Bruce County - beef steak on my plate and I'll be quite content! Flash - Within hours of writing the above column, I actually ate caviar! Mind you, I didn't know what it was un- til after I had swallowed it. It was a very small sampling that accidently passed my lips but it did prove that my inhibi- tions stem from the thick grey matter between my ears. MOW TO VOTE The ballot you will 'get to mark on Oct. 20, will—be very like the one below, but without the -cross marks. Lf you favor prohibition as we have it, put a cross under each "No" as they are on this ballot. Each year many lives ore saved through the generosity of people who had the foresight . and compassion to make the decision to become organ donors upon their death and to discuss these plans with their families. Tragically many more lives are lost while peo- ple wait for organs that 'are not donated. To help people better understand how organ donations Are vital to todays transplant programs, the Multiple -Organ Retrieval and 'Ex- change Program ,of :Ontario (MORE) has hired five Regional Com- munications Coordinators. During the next year, these people will be visiting hospitals to work with health professionals and the public to promote . donor .commitment. According to Cheryl Resell, the Executive :Director of MORE On- tario, "Our goal is to increase the number of organs available by providing 'the public: with more information on how they can donate organs and make a wonderful liifersaving gift to ;someone vase." The Regional Communications Coordinators will accomplish this ,by setting up ,hospital information sessions for health professionals and public forum meetings for the general public. Being an organ donor is a very personal decision for anyone to make, ` o F' one we should at .least think about. 70 years ago October '9, 1919 A Sky Wanderer - Speeding quickly towards the north east ;a large balloon was seen to pass .almost directly over Lucknow last Thursday morning. The huge bag was of :a light cream color and in the bright sunlight presented a very pretty appearance As the balloon evident- ly was not of the dirigible type, it must have been carried by an air current go- ing almost across the wind then blowing at the surface of the earth.
