"This amount," he said, "represents potential expenditure by homeowners for new, services, added insulation, .heating equipment, associated wiring and labour." "It is estimated that by 1981 the total of electric-converted homes in the province will have increased to 135,000. So far over 8,000 homes have been converted to electric heating from wood, coal, gas or oil-fired systems."

Plan retirement pensions will be paid at age 66 in 1969, a year younger than in 1968. Reminding contributors to the plan of the reduction in pensionable age, Health and Welfare Minister John Munro pointed out that retirement pensions must be applied for; payment is not automatic. Application may be made at any of the Canada Pension Plan offices in, 38 major ,centres across Canada or at local offices in smaller centres. Applications for retirement pensions under the Quebec Pension Plan must be made to the Quebec Pension Board. Mr. Munro said, "If you are 66 now, retired, and have been a contributor to the Canada Pension Plan, get in touch with the nearest CPP office at once. If you will become 66 in 1969, application must be made within three months prior to your birthday." For applicants now 66 or more, payment will begin in January, 1969. Mr. Munro explained that the eligible age for retirement pensions is reduced each year until 1970 when it will be 65. This is consistent with similar age reductions in the minimum eligible age for Old Age Security pensions and the Guaranteed Income Supplement. People who are 70 or more and who have contributed to the Canada Pension Plan need not be retired to receive a retirement pension, but application must still be made.

Sugar reduces heart-attack risks caused by caffeine in coffee, tea and cola drinks, , according to Dr. Samuel Bellet, chief of cardiology, Philadelphia, General Hospital, in a recently published paper following first presentation to the 115th annual meeting of the American Medical Association. "Caffeine sets off a series of chemical reactions }which result in the breaking loose of fatty acids from their normal storage places in the body," Dr. Bellet said. He said the fatty acids then travel around in the blood stream. "The adherence of those fatty acids to the inner walls of arteries, accumulating over a long period of years, makes the arteries narrower and less flexible — a condition doctors call atherosclerosis." "The classic type of heart attack occurs when a blood clot becomes lodged in such a narrow place in the artery serving the heart muscle, cutting off blood supply to points beyond the blockage." • Dr. Bellet said that rises in the fatty acid content of the . blood occurred in all patients under study after drinking caffeine-containing coffee. "This reached a peak between two and three hours after the coffee was swallowed—, tea contains almost as much caffeine per cup as coffee," he said. The study also showed that If you're on' the cigarette habit now, don't think the damage caused by smoking has already been done and that there's no point in quitting at "this late stage". It is never too soon or too late to quit smoking, because many of the, changes found in cigarette smokers'• lungs are reversible. The body starts to repair damage associated with cigarette smoking as soon as the habit is discontinued, sa?s the federal health department publication, "RX — No Smoking". If serious disease has not already developed, gradual improvement occurs when you stop smoking. The lining of the bronchial tubes gradually improves. Cough and shortness of breath are less frequent among eR-Slittilteit' than smoked. t i e.kt s wrij h..7 est bushed chronid' tironehitis and emphysema generally improve when they stop smoking cigarettes, says the pamphlet. The danger of early death from a heart attack, lung cancer or chronic bronchitis and emphysema is reduced. Hawks hungry? The common belief that hawks are harmful to poultry, waterfowl and native song birds is not wholly substantiated by analysis of stomach contents of hawks and by field observations. For example, the red-shouldered hawk, a very beneficial bird, certainly does not deserve its common name of "hen hawk". In one survey of 220 stomachs of this hawk, three contained poultry; 12, other birds; 102, mice; 40, other, mammals; 20, reptiles; 39, frogs;„ 92, el6ge,ts; , 16, spiders, 7,',/ crayfish;''ililee, fish; two, offal;' and one, earthworms. putting sugar in coffee sharply reduced the tendency of fatty acids to move into the blood stream. "The same thing would be true of cola drinks and tea. Also, people, _who drink diet colas containing an artificial sweetener substitute for sugar reduce their intake of calories but end up with more fatty acids in their blood," Dr. Bellet stated. The Canadian Sugar Institute ,reported that the newly formed International Sugar Research Foundation will be supporting similar studies in the field of public health "as a continuing effort in international science and medicine." WHEN BABY RUNS . A TEMPERATURE Small babies and children run high temperatures very easily. It 'is not the height of the temperature but how long it lasts and the effect on the baby's general condition that matter. Normal temperatures for babies run from 98.3 degrees to 99.6 degrees. A temperature oyer 101 degrees should be reported to the doctor. It is a sign of infection and may not be serious, but should be watched, says the federal health department publication, The Canadian Mother and Child.
