For.a | heathen, the Pharoah certainly had more sense than most Chris- tians today — at least he listened to God. In his third chapter, Ford tells us what's wrong with much of ‘today’s food. Preservatives are bad, he says, because most food ‘heeds to decompose in digestion ‘and preservatives hamper this process. It’s like. getting em- ‘ balmed at the dinner table. Ford has a rule: if bugs and rodents aren’t interested in the food you eat, don’t eat it either. Rats pass over most of our daily diets because God has built into their - souls the things that are good for them and the things that are not.

Unless it is naturally grown most food we buy may not be healthy. And most natural: food is more ex- pensive so most people shop at the supermarket. In that sense, you are what you eat: already. preserved and embalmed before you’re 40, The operative word here is “crisis’'. The food problem, ac- cording to my sources, will be about seven years. Ford gives the proper procedure to follow in getting ready for this crisis. Since agriculture is the basis for all economies, the food crisis’ may force people to barter because a lot more than farmers are going to be out of work.

She explained that the system will operate best with four or five students at each location, with each other and the instruc- tor through a speaker-phone, while the instructor calls up ap- - propriate text or graphics for the ‘lesson on every computer monitor linked to the system. Using the electronic pad, students and instructor are then able to manipulate, move, mark or make notes on their individ- ual monitor and it is reflected ' through the whole system for everyone to evaluate. As an example, Mitchell. ‘described a situation where a “math instructor sitting in his of- fice at UBC could call up a blank sheet of graph paper on. his ‘long distance electronic blackboard” and ask a student . in Terrace to draw the function of a particular equation. - As the Terrace student draws the line, every other student on the system .would watch. his every move and the instructor ‘could ask for general comments from the other students, ask an individual student in Cranbrook to make a correction, or another in Prince George to extend the line. If all the students were on ‘the wrong track; the instructor “could draw’ ‘the’ Borrect liné“for ‘all: to see and then give them. another problem to solve.
