The Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer
Institute is recruiting community volun-
teers interested in offering a smile and a
friendly face to patients and their families
at Lawrence and Idell Weisberg Cancer
Treatment Center in Farmington Hills.
"Receiving treatment for cancer can be
a stressful situation:' said Laura Zubeck,
R.N., who directs the volunteer program
at Karmanos. "Being greeted by a knowl-
edgeable, caring volunteer can mean the
difference between a good day and a bad
day for our patients:'
The ideal volunteer will be 18 years of
age or older and have excellent people
skills, with the ability to empathize and
anticipate patients' needs. Tasks could
include providing caring support in the
outpatient areas, serving as a guide to dif-
ferent areas within the facility and offer-
ing refreshments or simply a listening ear.
The center is open Monday through
Friday. Volunteers will be asked to
choose from one of two shifts, either 8
a.m.-noon or noon-4 p.m. Training will
be provided, and volunteers must pass a
health screening that includes updated
immunizations, as well as participate in a
half-day orientation.
"We've found that some of our most
compassionate volunteers are those
whose lives have been touched by can-
cer:' said Zubeck. "They understand how
difficult a cancer diagnosis can be:'

tunities at Karmanos' Weisberg Cancer

the old Jewish neighborhood
in Detroit. The original market, on
Dexter and Waverly, had operated for
more than 25 years. It was at this store
that Norman and Reuben Cottler's
slogan — "Where Old Friends Meet
to Shop" — was first used. Located in
the Wyoming-Curtis Shopping Center,
the company's second store celebrated
its fifth anniversary with a big sale in
1956.
In the spirit of their slogan, the Dexter
Davison Markets' anniversary sale

offered shoppers the lowest possible
prices on its products.
As advertised in the Jewish News,
pickled tongue was only 31 cents, and
just 85 cents bought a shopper a jar of
Rokeach Gifelte Fish. A bottle of Heinz
Tomato Ketchup was only 22 cents!
Today, for example, that same bottle
of ketchup costs $1.98 at Meijer. So
remember, the next time you go to the
grocery store, know that the price of the
bottle of Heinz Tomato Ketchup that you
put into your shopping basket today has
only inflated about 732.4 percent over
the course of the last 58 years! ❑
