LEE TRUMAN A corporation executive, George ALson, 59, was in- volved in a heated board meeting battle. The issue was something that meant a great deal to him, and for which he had worked quite hard over a long period of time. He and the issue were voted down and George felt a deep hurt. When he got home, he told his wife, Ruth, about what had gone so terribly wrong for Mtn and after pouring out .his pain that evening, George went to bed. Ruth made her bed in the spare bedroom that night and early the next morning she prepared his breakfast and took it to his room. He wasn't there, but was in the back yard hoe- ing his roses. He stopped her when she started to sympathize with him about how terrible it must have been for him and how beat- en he was when he had come home. "Oh," he said, starting to hoe again, "that was yes- terday." With that attitude, George avoided the most common mistake I know and that is taking all of yesterday's disagreeable happenings, the acid that such events pour into our daily living and doggedly carrying them into each new day. It seems that some people never' have heard of the possibility that some things can be left in yesterday. I have heard every sick moment of a bad situation stated as though it were a religious requirement: the retention of very angry words of an argument,_ every bitter, nasty allega- tion that had been said, and every sour note is carried into all the tomorrows. Roy L. Smith used the phrase: "We regale our minds with the resurrec- tion of all things disagreea- ble." By doing this we have an unpayable mortgage.on the day before it starts. Add to that the normal load of the average day's frustration and worry and no wonder people are crushed under the weight. Dr. L.G. Morgan, the psychiatrist, has said it is almost like a record that people play again and again. Destroyed is the pos- sibility of life being the least bit touched with hap- piness. Such people do this as though wishing for self - punishment. They replay the mental record of yes- terday's hurts and this sets the blight on the new day. Put this phrase down somewhere where you can see it often. The phrase: "That was yesterday." Each brand-new day is just that. By carrying around yesterday's load, then today's also will make a person irritable and finally sick. Life has enough rough spots for every one of us that we need to remind ourselves at the start of a new day that it is a new day. A part of starting a new day is to remind ourselves that some things happened yesterday and need to re- main in yesterday, acid let a new day be just that. Median age 29.6 The first data from the de- cennial census taken in the summer of 1981 show that the Canadian population is now the oldest ever. Because of a steady decline in the birthrate that began 20 years ago. the median age now is 29.6. By the year 2000 it is expected to be 36 unless there's a sharp pickup in the birthrate. 0 zehrs fine markets... of fine foods SPECIAL PRICES IN EFFECT UNTIL CLOSING TUES.
