bound. recently

bound.recently sponsored a

prizes going to Lillian Young
of Teeswater in the essay
contest andato William A.
Collins of RR 1, Kincardine,
in the poetry contest.
Reprinted below is Mrs.
Young's winning essay.
By Lillian Young
Being a senior citizen at
this time is very different
that it was years ago. Many
of us remember when our
parents and also our grand-
parents were this age -and
the problems they had. Now
seniors are well looked after.
Many of us travel and
often there are special rates
for us. On certain days we
get a discount on our
groceries. There are senior
citizen apartments, senior
citizen lodges and nursing
homes, all of which are
subsidized if we are not able
to finance them ourselves.
There is entertainment put
on for our benefit and plays,
exhibitions, fall fairs, bus
trips and dinners have
special prices for seniors.
Many of us have our own
homes and enjoy life. It is
better if husband and wife
are both living, but one can
get along quite well on one's
own as long as one is healthy
and not a 'burden on one's
family.
Seniors are very helpful to
each other if they need a-
ha11d and really enjoy get-
ting together. Home Care is
also provided if, necessary
and senior citizen centres
like "Day Centre for the
Homebound" have been
started in many places to
help those not able to. get out
on their own. Our health is
looked after also, with. no
doctor bills and our drugs
paid for- by the government.
I think senior citizens have
'little to complain about and
much to be thankful for in
1984,
