Of AVAILABLE COPY HERALD Wednesday September 11 1991 Seniors Direct deposit system helps seniors By FLORENCE WILKINSON When saw a full page ad in an August magazine which I receive listing the conveniences of direct deposit or my government pen sion cheques I had the greatest intention of getting busy and making the arrangements to get my cheques deposited directly I knew before this that it was possi now to have the cheques handled by direct deposit but had not registered it well enough to do anything about it Nor did I get busy and do something about it when I saw the ad Then comes the postal strike Oh how I wish I had not been tar in carrying out my intentions Graduate Pat and Sid Hams are proud to announce the graduation of their daughter Christine from Western University She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Honors Physical Education Chris was a graduate of Georgetown District High School Congratulations Do you suppose the government has teamed up with the postal service to persuade seniors and all those others who fit into the proper categories that Direct Deposit Is really the way to go There are advantages to the government as well as to the in dividual to have the cheques handled this way Just think of the savings from cost of mailing The ad listed security as one of the advantages and reliability If you have no direct deposit ex penence and are rather unwill to try it I can tell you that it works At first I was hesitant to have anything deposited directly simply because I would lose track of my bank account However I made a point of recording my withdrawals and deposits into my account each month and thus am able to keep track of my finances The ad says that Direct Deposit means convenience security and reliability that it makes a lot of sense and that the choice is yours If you are interested in having your cheques from the government handled in this way you must of course make ap plication Application forms and information are available from most financial institutions Veterans Affairs Canada office and Health and Welfare Canada pension office Even if you look forward to get ting mail especially mail in form of cheques you may after the month of August difficulty consider Direct Deposit Or if as happens with some you need the excuse of going to the bank to have an outing you could ar range some other kind of Outing and still use Direct Deposit It is not my purpose to adver for either the government or the banking industry Rather as one who has experienced the con venience as well as the tions about Direct Deposit I am sharing with you my feeling and expeirence which have turned out to be positive I do not expect that this ex perience of tardiness in regard to my government cheques being handled by direct deposit will mend my ways a great deal After all what is the use of grow old if one cannot have excuses regarding such things But I will get busy now and see that I re quest Direct Deposit so that future inconvenience will be covered AND STROKE FOUNDATION Of ONTARIO IMPROVING YOUR ODDS AGAINST CANADAS KILLER HEAD OF THE CLASS At Radio Sbacic we know the equation our customers are looking for quality products plus affordable prices That why we re at the head of the class Sports pack is better than gym SPECIAL PURCHASE SPECIAL PURCHASE 341 11 Koss headphones are the bright choice Lightweight headphones For personal portables them outside and watch a the chango colour hen to the sun unique concept thai adds a little colour to muslca eno merit 33 820 Challenging allstar sports 3 pack Cycles is a motorcycle race game In Fast Break take to the court for fast paced basketball action Or tr out jour golf skills with Jack Nicklaus Compete against The Goldon Bear himself 25 raaaora Takes the fear out of math CLEARANCE save 26 was 34 function ilor in elude Ink functions number mi I Walkietalkie gets top marks Smith Corona XL 2700 typewriter SPECIAL PURCHASE Right diction in Word French erst on in 10 starter kit ft Ribbon park 1 Correction ribbon 1 fi Welcome Wagon hostess She will bring congratulations and gifts for the family and the NEW BABY 1 nn lb id ind ind 1 II t Computer work centre save Built in wheel castors lot you move your system to any location you want Holds computer printer keyboard accessories 26 Listen to the news before going to school Mount the 101 radio under your kitchen counter and you II be able to near the news while you eat breakfast Features Battery 12 save fflir APPLY TODAY Mike Radio Shack Radio credit card 11 accepted all Radio Shack torn and pal dealer DIVISION CANADA ITD in Check the white pages for the Radio Shack store or participating dealer nearest you Sale ends Sep Radio hack
