Lifestyles, perhaps have seen the greatest degree of change-in all age groups and in all types of residences and neighbourhoods. Along with the "Neighbourhood Watch" and "Block Parent" programs, programs, a service that is rapidly becoming a "God send'! perhaps, is the personal touch and care, Home Check companies offer. The main purpose of the Home Check service is to allow the homeowner who is vacationing or just absent for a few days, relax by making the home appear lived in. Services include watering plants, picking up newspapers, opening up- windows, checking plumbing and heating and more. Agencies that specialize in caring for pets, have first of all a love for animals.

Have you ever snarled snarled this remark or a similar one to anyone as you tried to cope with the pressures of the day? 'STRESS!!! Can you manage it?' Presented by Lesley O'Brien, Public Health Nurse from the Durham Region Department of Health Services (Bowman ville Office), informed members of the Bowmanville Business and Professional Women's Club at the October meeting how awareness of our mental mental response to any stressful situation situation can help us overcome frustration frustration and anger. Telling yourself that you don't have time to waste while waiting in a long line, produced stressful feelings in you. You become unfriendly, if not rude to the cashier, and you probably need a drink or a cigarette to calm you down. If, on the other hand, you take the philosophical approach that being late won't kill you, and that you can make the best of this situation by reading a magazine, for example, you will feel relaxed. You are then able to go on to your next destination with undiminished vigor. Mrs. O'Brien gave us many other tips on how to reduce the wear and tear on our bodies, and if we keep them in mind, we should be in fine fettle. The B.P.W.
