They need contact. with others through talking and playing with them and to know' someone cares for them personally: Guest speaker talks to WI members about l'iv'ing wills The monthly meeting of the Dun- gannon Women's Institute was held Oct. 7 at Nile United Church. Rollcall was "What is the first thing you save in case of a fire." Most put their%purses and car keys, first .but some mentioned photographs and albums.

Auburn and St. Helen's Institutes came as guests for the meeting and provided the entertainment. Auburn had a reading on the election and how we may have to learn to live without all the extra frills we have come to expect. St. Helen's contribution was a violin and piano toe -tapping selection. Special guest. Rev. Rick Magic spoke to the group on living wills, a process where you make arran- gements with a trusted lawyer to see that all your wishes are carried out; not only with your property but how you want to be treated in regards to life support systems and health care, if you can't make decisions yourself any more. In the past, when many people lived together, the elderly and helpless were looked after by other members of the family. Today those helping members have jobs to go to and smaller homes or apartments that have no extra rooms for others in their former families as they grow older. As a result, they enter homes for the aged and only see other family members on visiting days. In some cases the elderly share rooms with others. Not much privacy to talk with family mem- bers and discuss things as people did in the past around the kitchen table, as that was where the kerosene light was before electricity. !'hat's where the woos s ove was too, which was probably, the only heat in the house. It was warm and friendly in this room and people discussed their thoughts and desires to end their days surrounded by family members who cared about them. People put into homes are well taken care of medically. The government . passes legislation to ,prevent them being abused, but they lose all their ability to be in control of (themselves: Most people living *in a long-term carecentre don't want to be there. They are angry, frustrated and bewildered by their loss of freedom. What has happened to our values? This society is disjointed. People no' longer know how to care sometimes, or have the time to spare. You can't legislate real caring, it has to come from the heart. So you should appoint a .guardian now so your wishes may be put into legal form in the presence of a lawyer.
