Medical science has dope a
great job in prolonging life;
what'S needed now is an
emphasis on improving the
quality,of life in, the later years.
And that's not an add-on
process.ft'S built in. Few people
can suddenly begin a career as a
novelist, say, in their 60s' -- as
Robinson Crusoe's author Daniel
Defoe did. If the gold watch that
symbolizes retirement is not to
mark, off slow hours of boredom
and inactivity, it's essential to
prepare for old age long before it
happens. As Dr. Robert Laird,
medical director of Toronto's
Geriatric Study Centre. points
out, retirement should be a
rewarding experience, an
opportunity for •a new and varied
life:
In Canada, the major causes of
death in the under-65 age group
are heart disease, cancer. and
various forms of accidents --
especially those involving motor
vehicles. Together, these account
for more than half of-- all
premature mortalities.
But mortality patterns vary
significantly between men and
women, and in each age group.
For example, among people
aged between 15 and 20.
accidents and suicide account for
more than three-quarters of all
deaths; heart • disease doesn't
begin to show up as a factor in
male mortality until 30-plus, but
accounts for one-quar ter of
deaths in men between 40 and 44,
moving to a fairly constant 35 per
cent in ,the over-50s.
On the other hand, while heart
disease is not nearly as prevalent.
a factor among women under 60,
breast cancer is a significant
cause of mortality in women over
40.
Despite these rather chilling
figures, life expectancy • 'for
Canadians` has increased
considerably in the last 30 years -
from 63 to 69.4 for males, and
from 66.3 to 76.5 for females. And
of the 157,272 deaths in Canada
in 1971 (the latest year for which
figures are available) well over
half were among those who had
dived out their biblical three score
years and 10.
A closer,. look at the statistics
shows that much early mortality
and disease results from lifestyle-
rather than with such factors as
heredity or infection: cancers
attributable to smoking; heart
disease accelerated by inactivity,
overweight or fatty diets ...
In other words, the quality of
life in old age has quite a' lot to do
with health habits acquired
earlier in life. So it's well worth
preparing for retirement long
before it happens, and riot only be
developing 'sensible patterns of,
daily living but by cultivating
"lifetime" interests and hobbies
-- such as reading or gardening -
-111Z-will enrich the later years.
Simply stated, the aging
process occurs mainly through
arteriosclerosis -- hardening of

The); don't manufacture many products
like that anymore. In addition, I found an
ear jWs which plugged into the radio to
provide private listening. Unfortunately
.the plug was missing.
In the same box lay a 'cassette for my •
recorder. Strands of tape dangled from the
case, and the chilites for rainding, the
tape seemed slim. Remaining optimistic,
though, !stuffed the cassette back'into the '
carton.
For an old record player,' I discovered
• two broken needles and six plastic disks,
which fit in the holes of 45 RPM records.
However, I discovered no 45 RPM records,
and the machine was traded in several
years ago. •
A large cardboard box, in the closet
bulged with greeting cards, which I had
'accumulated since 1960. Each year's
birthday, Christmas, St. Patrick's Day,
Valentine and Easter cards were neatly
tied in a bundle. Among the packets,
crinkled letters were tossed.
Someday, when I have more 'time, they
will supply interesting and possibly
humourous reading.
I discoverd my favourite slippers in a
corner of the closet. Once upon a time their
colour was pale yellow; they felt soft and
fluffy; gradually they became tattered,
worn„ and dirty. Someone presented me,
with a new pair, but !postponed discarding
those faithful old yellow ones. ,
When I completed my cleaning chore,
the majority of my keepsakes were
returned to the closet and the drawers.
Why do most of us treasure souvenirs of
the past? They served their original
purpose; now they gather dukt. But they
haven't lost their importance.
Our keepsakes spark our memories; they
conjure up chuckles and wistfulness. They
help us to relive tiny portions of our past,
that remain too precious to discard,

Keepsakes
I'm one of those sentimental people who
horde keepsakes. Sometimes it's a
practical idea; a few of my mementos serve
useful purposes years after they were
stowed Away.
However, when I open a' clOseff door to
see boxes rolling at me and when my
dresser drawts jam because 'they're too
'full, I realize my collection has surpassed
the limits of practicality. Then it's' time to
separate the trivia from the irreplaceable
keepsakes:
During a recent cleaning bee, I
unearthed some curious _objects. My
reasons for storing them posed ,mysteries.
For example, a plastic bag protected•
red' beart-shaped box, . which once
contained delicious chocolateS. The
candies were a Valentine. gift from my
brother-in-law, before he . became my
brother-in-law. SaVing a pretty. box isn't
unusual, I suppose, but he and ,my sister
were married thirteen years ago..
I was the junior bridesmaid at their
wedding. The necklace and the blue ribbon'
I wore that day were, of .:course, tucked
away in a drawer: • ,
In another corner, carefully wrapped in
white tissue papei• was a peculiar glass
ornament, which I received in an exchange
of Christmas. presents in public school,
I forgot the name of the child who gave it
to me. At the time, I didn't know what the
object was, and I still don't. Perhaps I kept
it, hoping someday I would solve the
puzzle.

Medical science has increased its expertise and knowledge one
hundred fold in the last fifty years. Yet for a young child a
hospital may represent the hut of a weird witch doctor.
A visit to a hospital, even a short one oft en causes fear and
anxiety in many children. The reasons for this are many. Firstly,
children rarely know anything of the function of a hospital before
they actually must-go to one. Secondly, going to hospital means
being separated from the comfort and, security of home at a time
when the Child needs them the mpst. Thirdly the very, illness or
• accident which causes the child to go to hospital is something
which the young child is incapable of understanding because Of
his immaturity. In some cases, going to hospital is seen by the
child as a punishment for being
Very often it is the hospital itself which is at fault. Ancient
regulations preventing the child's parents from staying with
him, dull and lifeless surroundings. together with inadequate or
non-existant play facilities can make hospitals at the very least
boring places to stay.
Research has .proven that a child can be severely affected in
many Ways by even a short stay in hospital. The anxiety of
staying in -hospital often prevents or slows down a return to
normal health. In some child a stay in hospital can leave them
permanently scared psychologically.
Although parents can do little to change the hospitals, they
can help to ensure that their children are prepared to go to
hospital and that their stays are as pleasant as possible.
By far the most important means of preparing a child for
hospital is to make him understand not only why he must go but
also what he will encounter once he is in hospital. Basically this
means sensible honesty . Never sugar coat the truth as this will
, only cause the child extra anxiety later on, but obviously it serves
no useful purpose to go into gory details which will only frighten
the child. For example, if the child is going to hospital to have his
tonsils "removed, all that he need know is first that there is
something in his throat which must be fixed. At the hospital the
nurse will be giving him a needle which will make him sleep and
while he is sleeping the doctor will open his mouth and fix up his
throat. After he Wakes up he will be all better and will come back
home. Telling him that the nurses will give him ice cream or .
popsicles after he wakes following the Operation, does him no
harm. either.
The child should knoW that you cannot stay with him all of the
time but tell him that you will be with him as often as possible.
By comparing the purses to special baby sitters will help him
understand and, accept them.'
Let the child take a few of his favorite toys to hospital with
him, they will give him some added security and comfort. For
obviolis reasons the child catinbt take a trunk load of toys to
hospital with -him.
Parents should expect that the child will be more sensitive and
troubled just before and after his stay in hospital. By
understanding this and by following some of the sensible
suggestions made-in this article you will be going a long Way in
Making pour child's stay in hospital a healthy not scary event.
