Ouick action saves life of GM worker Colleagues of a GM worker has saved his life after an accident cut his, arm ta, the bone at the south plant. Maurice Chartrand, 40, was walking backwards with a heavy metal truck liner when he tripped and feli. The 80 pound trunk lid liner feli across his left forearm, severing muscle and artery. Workers rush ta assîst and quickly applied a tourniquet ta stem the flow of blood. Chartrand was rushed ta hospital. For ail thosé born We are survivors. Consider the changes we have witnessed. We were born before television, before penicillin, before polio shots, frozen féods, Xerox, plastic, contact lenses, Frisbees, and the Pull. We were before radar, credit cards, split atams, laser beams and bailpoint pens. Before pantyhose, dishwashers, clothes dryers, electric blankets, air conditions, drip-dry clothes, and before man walked on the moon. We got married first and then lived together. How quaint can you bc? In aur time, closets were for clothes, not for "coming out of". Bunnies were small rabbits and rabbits were not "Volkswagons". Designer Jeans were scheming girls named Jean, and havîng a meaningful relationship meant getting along well with our cousins. We though fast food was what you ate during Lent, and outer space was the back of the Odeon Theatre. We were before house- husbands, gay rigîts, computer dating, dual careers and computer marriages. We were before day care centers, group therapy and nursing homes. We neyer heard of FM radio, tape decks, electric typewriters, artificial hearts, word processors, yogurt, and guys wearing earrings. For us, time sharing meant togetherness, not computers or condominiums. -Author Unknown A "chip" meant a piece of wood, hardware meant hardward, and software wasn't even a word! In 1940, "made in Japan" meant junk, and the term "making out" referred ta how you did on your exaru. Pizza, McDonalds and instant coffee were unheard of. We hit the scene when there were 5 and 10 cent stores.. where you actually bought things for fîve and ten cents! Wilson sold ice creamn canes for la nickel or a dime. For a nickel you could ride a street car, make a plane caîl, buy a Pepsi or enough stamps ta mail one letter and two postcards. 1You could buy a Chevy coupe for $600.00 but who could afford one - a pity two, because gas was il cents a gallon! in aur day, cigarette smoking was fashionable. Grass was mowed, Coke was a cold drink, and Pot was something you cooked i. Rock music was a Grandma's lullaby and AIDS were helpers, in the principal's office. We were not before the difference, between the sexes was discovered, but we were surely before the sex change (we made do witl what we lad!) We were also the last generation that was s0 dumb as ta think you needed a husband ta have a baby! No wonder we are 50 confused and there is such a generation gap t"dY. But we survived.
