PONTIAC BUICK LTD. 885-8154 Paul Morris Something To Think About GUILT TOWARD THE DYING Sometimes a terminally ill patient may make others leel guilty it they are not by his side every hour of the day. Family and friends must balance their own needs against the needs of the patient. A person cannot be everywhere at all times, and cannot be everything to everyone, no matter how great the effort. Sometimes it Is simply a matter matter of telling a demanding patient patient that you have such-and- such responsibilities to lake care of and that you cannot bo at the hospital until so-and-so time. Bo direct about your reasons, spell out your lime schedule as clearly ns you can, and inform tho person as pre cisely as possible when you will be returning. In fact, all the demanding patient patient may really want is the reassurance that you WILL be coming back and that he or she will not be left alone. Very often, behind the guilt-provoking cries, there Is a simple childlike terror of being abandoned.

Alachlor is a herbicide used widely by corn and soybean growers. Wise cancelled cancelled its registration in 1985, and the Government ap- Ê ointed an Alachlor Review oard to investigate alleged health risks posed by the herbicide herbicide to farm operators. The Board, composed of experts in toxicology, cancer risk analysis, and agricultural agricultural economics, heard testimony testimony from 53 witnesses on the safety, merit and value of the herbicide. At the end of the review, they reported that alachlor and metolach- lor (a competitive herbicide) do not pose an unacceptable risk to farmer users and the public at large, and recommended recommended re-registration of alachlor.

What confidence can farmers have in the process of chemical registration in Canada, or in any review board from now on?" she asked.
