∂ Despite a dozen or more
activities demanding more hours
than ancient planners saw fit
to put into time-periods called
days, weeks, and months, we

several days in arrears, some
sudden family weddings and receptions, crab grass that is

powers from the broken drouth
and heat, and a few other odds
and ends, and headed for Oklahoma City Aug. 29 to hear Drs.
John and Louisa Aiken talk of
psychedelic drugs and why they
aren't popular with such unimaginative control groups as
the A.M.A. and its flunkies,
the Food and Drug people. But
we got an unexpected bonus in
the form of Dr. Leon DeSeblo
and Dr. Frank Stranges, altho
we only got to meet them -- not
to hear them speak. Dr.DeSeblo
is a Nobel winner for his work
in the field of "Chlorella",
the "secret" of how science
expects to feed the peoples of
the world after the projected
population explosion, and Dr.
Stranges is on a world tour
with his documentary film of
his 16 years' research in the
field of Unidentified Flying
Objects. Dr. Stranges, in a
brief introductory talk, told
how Los Angeles county officers had seized their film afDr. John Aiken,

It was sad news to hear
of the passing on 8 August of
Mrs. John R. (Dorothy) SAringield o Canoga Park, Calif. ,
of a long chain of medical
errors -- which had their genesis in an operation 40 years
or so ago. Many readers will
remember Dorothy as a sensitive and teacher always able
and willing to share her abilities and knowledge with those
in need...
