Club under- taking -- a survey to determine the need for senior citizens' apartments, is certainly in line with the progres • sive thinking which characterized. the first meeting of town council. As yet. no one knows precisely how many older couples and single persons are interested in the type of accommodation which is ruder dis- cussion, 1)tit the survey nuav well re veal a surprising number of prospec- tive tenants. The apartment plan is a very sound one, So many older people face the winter with dread in their hearts. They have reached the time of life when the problems of looking after a furnace, shovelling snow anti thawing frozen water pipes in an older home are actually more than they can properly handle. The apart- ment building would provide the ideal fnswer—at a price which many could afford to pay. There was a time when Grandma and Grandpa could live with their m.arried sons or daughters and every- one—old folks, young parents and children --• enjoyed the relationship. .But that was back in to days when big. hoitses were comparatively in- expensive and there was plenty of rooin for three generations to .live together in comfort. Now, however, the average young family is living in a home that is just hig enough 'for themselves and the addition of grandparents presents a real prob• lean. Another factor is that there are many more persons over the age of 65 than there were even 20 years ago. Igor example, at the time of the 19-1.1 census, there were 390,909 persons over 65 in Canada. By 1956 the figttr•e had nearly doubled with an increase of 230,819 for a total of 621,728 in tliis older age group. These figures mean, simply, that more acconlmocla- tion for older persons const he pro- vided, elc , The plan the Kinsmen are discus- sing is largely financed by the federal government—just one inore indica- tion that public consciousness has been sharpened to a great extent: where the needs of others are con. cerned. Naturally, we don't know ye t whether such a building will be eret- ed here, but if it is found that a suf- ficient 1'itimber" of tenants are avail- able, the apartment would be a very fine addition to this community.

VALUABLE VOLUME \Ve have just experienced the sin- cere pleasure of our first few hours in the depth of a book which, as far as we are concerned,,makes fascina- ting reading. It is the Canada Year Book, 1961. If you are a business pian or an industrialist it should give you some satisfaction to read the year book, for it is the answer to the riddle of why you have to fill out. all those sta-• tistical forms during any business year. The look .accumulates the its.•• formation received from all over.the Dominion and presents tables, charts, graphs and stories which in total become the tale of Canada's growth over the past and'imm.ediate- ly preceding years. Running t o a total of nearly 1300 pages. the volume deals with physio- graphy and related. sciences, consti- tution and government, population, immigration and citizenship, vital statistics, public health, welfare and social security, education, agrictil. titre, forestry, mines and rninerals, manufactures, cOnStruct.ion and housing, labor, transportation and a hundred other topics. Normally -Ave are not too interested. in statistics as such. Long rows of figures leave us pretty thoroughly bored. IIowever, the Canada Year Rook breaks all these tables up into comparisons which are highly interesting. NVe wouldn't predict that you would want. to read every one of the 1300 pages, but almost everyone finds certain sections most absorb- ing. The one volume we receive is loaned to dozens of persons in the course of a year. If you want your own copy you can secure it by dropping a line to Doininiorl Bureau of Statistics, In- formation Services Division, Canada \"ear Book Section, Ottawa. In the cloth -bound edition •the book is pric- ed at $5.00 and a less expensive paper -bound volume conies at $3.00. SHOULD WE TRY THIS? Here's a deal for the winter out- doorsirtan ; learn to ski in one week or your money hack. It's one of the lures some Quebec resorts are using to get vacationers on their ski slopes this winter, reports Beatrice Riddell in 'rhe Financial :Post. There's a catch you have to put in at least 28 hours Of ski time. If you already know how to ski, there are a variety of package tours lined up for you, anywhere from three to ten day's. Quebec's 25 -or -so winter re- sorts, looking for booming year, r �,"' `4 g y have new lifts, many other facilities for skier's.

Well, is there? What's that you say? You'll take the Bomb? Oh, come, my near fella, that's no attitude. We've had a delightful taste of it here. Thirty-six inches, a solid yard of the deep and crisp and even during the past week, and I must say, I rejoice in it. It's just a dashed shame that it can't he spread around a bit more. Here we are revelling in it and some of those poor devils in the unfortun- ate bottom end of the country haven't had more than an inch of it. Makes some feel rather selfish. There'$ Something about winter that gets me, right here (you'll Have to use your imagnatti•oar), Once the deca:denee of the holiday season is behind us, we hardy, rug.. ged, virile Canadian£, eau get down to sonic real living, Right? ];hat's why we're No loud- cheerier and healthier and hetter.looking than those soft, southern races. (tight? 0-0-0 Oh, winter has its little annoy. antes, just as summer does. As 1 shovelled out my driveway for the fifth time in five clays, a. still, small veiee within me enquired, "Why didn't that • Lhicieheaded Irish. grandfather of yours emigrate to Australia.?" 13111 that is counteracted by the fun of winter driving, There's a dash to it, a good fellowship about. it, that makes it more of a game than a chore. For example, the other day T started for work as usual. :It was snowing. The hill was slippery, so 1: decided to go the long way around, An hour and 20 mintues later 1. arrived at work. But it was worth it. Pushing and being pushed, T had met some of the friendliest people you could find. I had seen two' dandy aceiclents. And though 1. had been forced to abandon my car half a mile further from work than where I'd sta.rted, I had the pleasure of mashing up the long hill with two charming ladies breaking trail for me, That's more than Sir Edmund Hilary had when he climbed Mount Everest. (1_0-0 There are lots of other joyous experiences in our wholesome Canadian whiter, but I think it's our winter sports that matte me feel more alive than anything else. You should hear me hamming with pure pleasure as I tab the wax Dai young Hem's toboggan be- fore sending her nif for a, ,lolly afternoon on the hill, And I fairly quiver with excite. ment when young Hugh and I head. out for the ski slopes.

And Sat- urday nigih.t, there's the daddy of them all—the hockey game. No, no, not the one down at the rink. 'The one that oil company sponsors. 0-0-0 Nobody but a real, read -blooded Canadian would have the zest for living that all these winter sports demand. Aren't you glad you aren't rich, and don't have to go down south every winter and bum around swimming in that tepid water and loaf around getting fat on all that fried chicken, not to mention getting all dried out and leathery looking from too much sun? We should have an exchange program with some of those soft, lazy, southern races, A month or two in Canada at this time of year would make real men of those herds. We could send some of our old people down on the exchange, to places like Jamaica and Mexico, for example But it wouldn't work, You see, the people who organized it, chaps like me, would have to volunteer to go along wiih.'our old folk, to ar- range things for them, and we'd miss all the joyous excitement of this winter wonderland. There'd be no volunteers, I, for one, coulrin't stand 10 miss more than three or four months of it. How about you?
