Dr. Hawks The San Francisco Mime Troupe's “Hotel Universe” is a musical comedy about the landlord-tenant tragedy that stars old people fighting to preserve their home. The Mime Troupes song and-dance “Hotel l)niverse’"was first created in La Rochelle. France, on the Troupe’s recent European tour. The Mime Troupe was awarded La Rochelle's medal of honor for the work. The plot pits old. Black, white, and Mexican tenants of a crumbling hotel against the landlord who sees more profit in development. Their fight wakes the old people out of their lethargy.

The San Francisco Mime Troupe - started in 1959 - is the oldest and best street theater in the U.S. By fighting in and out of court for the right to play in the parks, the Troupe opened San Francmco to street artists in 1965. San Franciscos cultural color has blossomed ever since. Always picking plays picturing the underdog, the Mime Troupe seldom re ceives funding from establishment cul tural foundations, but it has created entertainment out of the most controver sial subjects of our time: the Viet Nam war. race and class relations, and wo men's struggle for equality. The Troupe has survived because it delivers a wallop to the head while tickling the soles of the feet _ Yellow - 4 Speed 10,000 Miles Stk. «11148 s J ull AT Trans Air Cond.

He was shocked to see in a pile of discard a beautiful picture of Christ Cornelius immediately rescued the pic ture. took it upstairs and paid for it. After that it hung on the living room wall in six different homes where the family lived. “Let me take you back to a Christmas Eve a short time ago," he explained "We had the house all decorated with yellow and silver tinsel and Christmas balls that ran across the ceilings in many directions. Christ’s picture in the center of the wall also had heavy decorations in silver around the entire frame." During the night Mrs. Cornelius smelled smoke. Going to the bedroom door they found the entire house on fire. There was no time to save anything and the only path of escape was the bedroom window. Everything in the house burned the walls and ceilings in all the rooms had to be replaced. The only thing not burned was the picture of Christ. It was not even smoked or discolored. "This was really two miracles - the savings of our lives and the picture.

Killingsworth found that casual or light users would have microscopic fibrosis {abnormal de velopment of fibrous tissue) in the lungs, but this would not be of clinical signifi cance. Persons who smoked heavily for three to five months would have clinically observable fibrosis. He reported that although fibrosis is irreversible, the extent of the fibrosis would approximate that of persons living in heavily industria lized. polluted areas. Dr. Hawk's research does not address the questions of whether exposure to Paraquat would cause cancer or damage an unborn child. There have been three reported incidents of pulmonary hemorr haging in the San Francisco area, but this has not been positively linked to Para quat. Because the research has not been completed and some other scientists have questioned its validity, the presence of Paraquat should be considered a serious health hazzard. , YP «C 6:30 pm Eva ig elistir Worshi,i 8:00 pm Tuesday-Friday Noon Day Prayer Tuesday: Bible B and/Jr Church Wednesday: Choir Rehearsal Friday: “The Pastor S,leaks" 7:30 pm 7:00 pm 7:30 pm 84 NT; Killingsworth 28141499 Meeeaae— aaeaaeeeaeeeaaaa»»« ........... r f r r r r s r r r r i
