the fear of death that was driving me. There's many, many instances that I could tell you the stories that I lived through. Gosh, I can't remember how many actions. I think I used to say, "I have the life"-- they say the cat has, what?--nine lives, and I used to say, "I have the life of two cats," because I survived 16 different killings. I want to write a book. I want to title it, "I Had the Life of Two Cats." COMMERCIAL G.Landry's "'="'''' Vacuum Service Ltd.

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF CAPE BRETONPRESS Started first, don't buy from a Jew. Buy only from your own peo? ple, don't support the Jews. That was starting the anti-Semitic thing. But I say there's good and bad in every nation and every country. Even in Poland there were people who were really bad, there were peo? ple who helped. I was once helped by Ukrai? nian people. Ukrainian peo? ple, a lot of them, they don't like to hear it, but they were helping the Ger? mans to find the Jewish peo? ple, where they were hid? ing. I was helped by some of the Ukrainian people. Even some of the German people showed me some mercy. (Do you think of this every day?
