FALTON MAS 1 neyer reaily found eut the meaning of Falton Mas but it is the title of a play written and performed by Bemnie Martin for a four night stand in the Union Theatre in Peterborough. It had always been my intent te. attend the event and that opportuniiy did come Thursday when once for a long time 1 had compleied work at the print shop shortly afier three. IL gave time for a short siesta which scems te be a must these days if 1 am -te continue activity into the evening. It aisei gave time for a walk through the shower and a change of clothing. Off ente 115 highway with destination Peterborough. But 115 north bas somesignificant meaning of late for both Bill Bunting and myself. It is a flock of wild turkeys, upwards of lhirty, that graze in a field near the Porter overpass just ie Manvers Township. Everybody, sees them but Bill and I and Bull bas spent heurs on watch ai the overpass without result. It is ironic that Bill should iniroduce a new neighbour te the turkey grazing grounds with a k."no-show" of turkeys. The neighbour retumned the nexi day, without Bill, and sure enough there were the turkeys. The overpass was ai leasi a 30 te 45 minute stop-over laie Thursday and then ente Peter- borough. Someday 1 intend te take a compass ie the cily and jusi find out what way the main streets run. At the prescrit lime there is ne difference te north, south, cast or wesi whcen 1 drive ie Peterborough.

"Look for a tavern, a parking lot and the Union Theatre is right opposite the parking lot", states Bemnie in giving mhe directions. 0 f course hie was right but there are two parking lots and two taverns se I ended up haif a block off course. There was ne major concern for the tavern did serve a cold beer, hamburg and coffee before curtain cahl ai Union theatre. This section of Hunier Street sceems an interesting part of the city - somewhat artsy and being a lile off course did give the opportunity te do some window shopping. A real sale on second hand books and in another window purchase three tubas you ge t' one free. What in the world would one want four tubas. Has anyone ever heard of a tuba quartette? 1 We fmnaily arrive ai the Union Theatre. Mind you it is net the Pantages but it is interesting, colourful in a way and dees have an atmosphere.

Statistics show ihat adherence te ibis program can lead te early detectiin - the best method of qavine lives. 1At Memorial Hospital ihe diagnostic imaging team, which Hospital conducts mammography, is concerned about' a lack of awareness of the relationship of breast seif-examination to mammography. "We hear negative stories from patients about mammograms, yet women stili ended up having breast cancer", said Margaret Wrightson, technical director of diagnostic imaging department.
