The fight against diabetes ison

VancouverC.D.A.

Diabetes is the 3rd
medical killer in Canada. It
is also the leading cause of
new blindness. There are
about one Million Canadians
with Diabetes. Ap-
proximately 150,000 people
have diabetes in B.C.
Twenty-six per cent are on
insulin. Another Fifty per
cent don't know they have

the disease. For every 20 lbs.
of excess body weight we
carry around, we double our
chances of becoming
diabetic.

Diabetes can strike at any
age and may surface during
emotional stress, serious

ulness or pregnancy as well
as often being related to
overweight or heredity.
Funds raised will support
research for better methods

Mowat movie

He began writing at the agé
of eight — by his own ad-
mission, very bad poetry. He
switched to prose and
became a newspaper
columnist, published his first
book at the age of 30, and
has been writing ever since.
He is probably Canada’s
best-known raconteur, bon
vivant and champion of
whales.

Versatile and prolific, he
has written both fiction and
non-fiction, for adults and
children, on subjects ranging
from vital environmental
issues to hilanous comedy.
He is Farley Mowat, subject
of the March movie in the
Canadian Film Senes at
North Vancouver District
Library.

“In Search of Farley
Mowat” is a comprehensive
biographical film, tracing
the author's career, his
personal life and his success.
