Beware, poison ivy is poison The Golden Years of old age often become tarnished when many old people are condemned to living alone with ho relatives nearby to cam, few friends to visit, declining health, and a small income. The unthinking younger generations, caught up in the hustle and problems of their own age are forgetful of the people whose lives once brimmed over with health and action and are now filled with inactivity and loneliness. A telephone call, a short visit, or a letter can make the day for someone who is shut-in or alone. The greatest gift we can give them is some of our time. Summer is an Ideal season to pick up an older neighbor for a drive to the lake or into the country. Many persons living alone find cooking for themselves uninspiring and a nuisance. A hot meal, or a fresh appetizing salad plate would be a welcome gift. * * * More and more people are living to old age and one of the major problems facing future generations will be the housing and caring for the aged. Since most of us hope to reach the age of 70 or better ,perhaps now is a good time for us, in our middle years, to consider what we can do now to prepare for the `golden years ahead'. I have just finished reading 'So Who's Afraid of Birthdays by Anna Mow. Mrs. Mow is almost 80, and in her good common sense way she suggests we cultivate attitudes and habits to accept the later years of our lives joyfully and creatively. She says if when we grow old and no friends or relatives come to visit we must ask ourselves why. * If we will talk only about our ailments, our pains, the condition of ourbowelsthen even friends who come out of duty will not stay long. * If we insist on being intolerant and critical we will be poison to others. Our families will dread their visits and others will be driven away completely, * Too many favors asked without consideration of the convenience of others will keep them away. If someone shareshls life with you, be grateful, but remember, it is his life. * Cherish old friends , . but keep making new ones. Visiting can be done by telephone, A shut in with a joyous soul can be a great blessing to another by phoning and chatting about common interests. Time shared with another is never monotonous and friendships make life very worthwhile. Anna Mow cites teachers and persons from other professions, who perhaps have never married, but who may have given themselves for other people's children, usually waste little time on self pity when they grow older, They have trained themselves to look after themselves and have usually taken the time to build up rich friendships in their lifetime. * * * Some parents, when they have raised their children, are full of self pity and demand respect even when they know they might not be worthy of it, Their adult children seem to forget or not to care that their aging parents have growing needs but it is hard for even mature adult children to feel a loving responsibilityfor immature, hard to please old folk. Some children merely perpetuate an attitude picked up from their own parents. There is a Mexican legend about a man who did not want to be burdened with his feeble and critical old father. He had his young son take the old man to a mountain cabin and leave him there with food and a blanket. When the boy returned with half the blanket the father asked him why, and the lad replied, "I am saving this half of the blanket for you, Father!" * * it: Returning to Mrs. Mow's book she says the fear of growing helpless and useless is greater than COFFEE ANGEL PIE (8 servings) Pie plate, 9-inch Saucepan, 1-quart CRUST 1 1/3 cups chocolate cookie wafer crumbs (approx. 20 cookies) 2 tablespoons sugar 'A teaspoon cinnamon 5 tablespoons butter, melted 1/2 cup finely chopped blanched almonds FILLING AND TOPPING: 1 quart coffee ice cream, softened 2/3 cup sugar 1/3 cup water 2 egg whites %e cup whipping cream 2 teaspoons cocoa 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup chopped blanched almonds, toasted Chocolate curls To prepare Crust: In a small bowl the fear of death itself. The reason, she says, is that it is mach harder to receive help than to giveit, It is much harder to be still than active. But most of us have nothing in our busy lives to prepare us for uselessness and helplessness. So, we must strive to learn to be a gracious receiver as well as a gracious giver. She tells of an old lady, helpless in body, speechless from several strokes but who still had a clear mind, a warm heart, one hand in good condition and two ears in perfect working order. People came to her room to be uplifted . "She always smiled at the right time, reached out her one good hand to express the joy or sympathy of her heart," A sense of humour is to be cherished at any age, Shakespeare advised, "With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come," We should try to develop a sense of serenity. Remember, 'in quietness and confidence shall be your strength.' And we must condition ourselves to be flexible in the midst of change. Whether we prepare ourselves for it or not advancing years bring change and many new adjustments and if we can train ourselves to accept them before they happen we will be well on the way. When the `good old days' are gone forever let's look forward to the new adventures and challenges ahead. Poet Edwin Markham knew the secret when he penned these lines: I am done with the years that were: I am quits: I am done with the dead and the old. They are mines worked out: I delved in their pits: I have saved their grain of gold. Now I turn to the future for wine and bread: I have bidden the past adieu, I laugh and lift hand to the years ahead: "Come on: I am ready for you!" mix together crumbs, sugar and cinnamon; stir in butter and '/2 cup almonds. Press crumb mixture firmly and evenly against bottom and sides of pie plate, building up slightly around rim. Chill in freezer. Spoon ice cream into crust and return to freezer. To prepare Topping: In saucepan combine 2/3 cup sugar and water. Bring to a boil and cook rapidly until syrup spins a thread (about 7 minutes or 232 degrees F. on candy thermometer )While syrup is cooking, beat egg whites until stiff. While beating at high speed, gradually pour syrup over egg whites; continue beating until mixture holds shape. Chill. In a chilled bowl whip together cream, cocoa and salt until stiff. Carefully fold whipped cream and 1/4 cup toasted almonds into chilled meringue only until blended. Mound onto pie filling; garnish with chocolate curls. Return to freezer Read pesticide /abets carefully There's an old saying about taking horses to water but not being able to make them drink. Today that proverb could be altered to read "You can put a label on a pesticide bottle, but you can't make people read it". Which is a pity, because those labels should be read. Professor C.B. Kelly, Department of Botany, University of Guelph, points out that it's just plain common sense to read the instructions on a pesticide container before the contents are used. It is the user's responsibility to read the lable and protect his family and his operation from possible harm. Don't scoff at poison ivy; if you do, you may have to scratch your vacation. Doctors say, eight out of 10 persons are susceptible. So you would do well to contemplate what you, the potential victim, can do to protect yourself from the itch, and what you can do to soothe your misery if you become a victim. The first rule of protection is to know your enemy by sight. True, poison ivy has enough disguises to keep even an expert botanist busy, but it still has three leaves to a group, although the leaves vary in shape and size. The miserable ivy has a way of growing as a ground creeper, a vine and even as a bush, so it's best to avoid any three-leaf plant if you can. While poison ivy's appearance may not be exact, its capabilities are. Even though you've never had poison ivy, and think you are immune, it is not very likely that you are. And authorities say those few persons having natural immunity can lose it. Repeated exposures don't build resistance; on the contrary, they may make you more vulnerable. You've probably heard some people say they're so susceptible to poison ivy that they can get it just by looking at the plant. The truth is, you cannot get poison ivy that way. But you can be affected even though there's no direct contact with the plant. It's the oily substance — urushiol — on the leaves that's the real villain. For example, the oil can soak into gardening gloves or outdoor clothes and infect you months later if contact is made. • If you suspect a case of poison ivy is in store for you, first thing is to wash the exposed area with soap and warm water. This may help rid the skin of the oil before it gets to work. But if this fails, and you develop the exasperating and painful itch, a good way to soothe it is to use an analgesic-anesthetic preparation, such as Rhulihist, which provides instant relief. Rhulihist also acts to alleviate itching and burning sensations, discomfort from nonpoisonous insect bites and other minor skin irritations. The obvious way to deal with poison ivy is to avoid it. And that means more than simply steering clear of three-leaf vines and plants. ?cci eritr's Jurist 37 "air( gxeter Xutterat Pesigns Zfle 3finest ;41n bedding 4\rrangtments rAppointment• Plume 235-2603 alt3etty Jaesigit et Don't, for example, burn poison ivy with other garden debris. The poisonous oil vaporizes when burned and retains its potency in the smoke wafting through the neighborhood. And when gathering firewood, be on the lookout for dead tendrils of ivy clinging to the logs. If you recognize poison ivy on your property, get rid of it —but don't try weeding it out by hand; you're likely to leave the roots behind.

It's also wise to wash or dry-clean clothing that's contacted the poisonous plant. And, if clothing is to be dry-cleaned, it would be a friendly gesture to warn the dry-cleaner! Remember, whether one calls it poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, or mercury — all names for plants bearing the oil — one thing is certain: it's poison! Maple Leaf 2 lb.
