Using credit - speinditîg the ninney vou will hlave tomorrow - is somieting tîearly -eveîyone does tilese days. It is -part of getting along in a com-plicuîed world and 'saviîîg time and urraniging things 10 suit yourself. It coutd give you the wusiig niachiine vou need toduy anmd aevt 25 cents a load ut the laundro- muat vhicli you would otherwise speiîd wile trying to put aside enoughyl cash to bus' vour own wusbiing machine. Some people cit ici/eHe use of credit. Sonie people eveti say thut îhey have nieyer used credit in thieir lives. But thecy forget that thcy use if.for the telephone, the electric power, the gus supply. These services are supplied in Avatnce of1 pavmient. Dentists send their buis ut the end of the nionth, but they provide help svhen il is teeded, often weeks before they ask for any mnoney. This is credit. Consumier credit is used by differenit people in différentî ways. lf -a person finds thutt travelling is the onhy wuy he wants 10 spend Ibis lîoliduays, then he might borrow for a t rip or use one ot the airlines' flv-now-pay-laiter plans.

I thought it mi2ht be helpful to, review the plan anýd to, stresýs that no one need ever incur an unnecessary charge. ýMost people use Directorv Assistance (4111) anlv as a last resort. when the phone numbher they need is flot yet listed in their directorv. These nec- essary requests will continue to be free. It's the unnecessary calls we want ta discourage to ensure reliaNle"4l1" service for those who really need it. Thaf*s why. beginningP January 12. 1975, there will be a 25 cent charge for each phone numbei- provided by a directory assistance operator when the re quested number is listed in yo ur phone book. Every month, the first three such req uests made from y'our residence phone wiMl be free. After that. the charge will apply. ecessarv calîs. for numnbers not vet listed in vour directorv wiIl still be free. And whetherthe nurnber 1is listed or not. there will be no charue for anvone who bas a handicap that nakes il dificult ta use a directorx- or tor persans 65 years or over. If -o qualify for an exemption. just cail 'your Bell Canada business office and ask for a special exemption f o)rm. Also free are emergencv calîs from pay phones. hotel. motel and hospital rooms. In closing. 1Id just like ta repeat that you can avoid unnecessary directary assis- tance charges by looking in the book before calling4l l.The numberyou need is probably listed. (In 1973. aur directorv assistance operatars handled mare than 220 million calîs-more than 70 per cent of them were for numbers already listed in the phone book.) It's also a good idea ta keep emergency and frequently called numnbers up-ta-date in the s pace provided in the introductory pages of your directory. Bell Canada Lots of people îhlink so.

Nufriional needs essentîal for eider! y Aging is a process that begins at birth. No one escapes it. Many people betieve that old age automnatîcally brings about a Ioss of health. This is flot true. This condition cani often be prevented or minimized if a person has periodic health examinatiens, desirable heahth and hygiene habits, and a good diet. The Kellogg Nutrition Councit reports that meeting nutritional needs is important at ail age levels but is essential for the elderly. A frequent problem rnay be too high a calorie in- take and too little intake of meat, f ish, poultry, milk, en- riched cereats, cheese or fruits and vegetables. This could be the resuit of dental problems, shrinking income, illness or boredom - Animal protein, found in milk, meat, f ish and cheese should stîpplement the proteins found in vegetables and cereals. l-owcver, fatty meats, eggs, and cheese may be limited to avoid an excess intake of cholesterol, one of the risk factors associated with coronary heart disease. Too littie protein in the daily diet rnay cause an eider person te become easily fatigued and more susceptible to infections, Because many eIder people do not accept the important role of mîlk in maintenance of streng tceth and bones, their nîilk intake mav be how and consequently they may suffer from calcium def iciency. Carbohydrates and fats are needed for energy. However, miany etderiy people need fewer calories because of reduced activity. Their need for carbohydrates may be supplied by f ruits, vegetabtes and cer.-als and adequate fat may be sup- ptied by meat, fish and dairy products. The amount of nmoney spent for vitamins by the elderty (unless prescribed by a physician) couid very likely be spent mtore profitably on nutritious food.0 Other problemns should be considered. The functioning of the kidneys decreuses as one grows eider. An adequate intake of water is recemrnended te relieve this situation and carry away wastes excrcted by' the kidneys. The naturat roughage in fruits, leafy vegetabies and whele grain cereals will sti- niutate normal elimination. Research by Nutrition Canada shows that thiamin deficiency is a problemr with our older aduits. The tack of this im- portant vitamin Ieads to lack of initiative, mental depres- sion, irritabîity, poor memory, inabitity to concentrate and excessive fatigue. A geod source cf thiamnin is whole wheat cereais and those which are vitamin enriched. Finally the attitude of the entire fanîily is important. It should be positive, uncomplaining and hetpful. The elderly should not be treated as a burden as they are an active and vital part of any family. Count on us.
