The federal government's health department, Health and Welfare Canada, has just kicked off a special new program' that will help you quickly establish just where you stand at the moment. There is a second phase too that will help you to improve your lifestyle if it isn't up to par. The first segment of the pro- gram, announced by Health and Welfare Minister Marc La- londe, is a "Your Lifestyle Profile" self -scoring question- naire which is being distributed this month to about 3.6 million Canadian familes receiving Family Allowance cheques. Throuh the questionnaire recipients willbe able to deter- mine for themselves the quality of lifestyle and were improve- ments are needed. Later—in November of this year, a follow-up message call- ed "Ways to Improve Your Lifestyle Profile" will offer recipients general advice on how to resolve their lifestyle MEALS ON WHEELS—The Grand Bend Lioness Club is beginning a Meals on Wheels program in Grand Bend.

Lioness club serves 'Meals on Wheels' The Grand Bend Lioness' have started a 'Meals on Wheels' program in the village. The project of the program is to provide elderly people living alone with at least one hot meal during the week. The meals are being pre- pared at the Village Inn Retreat, When ready, the Lioness volun- teers pick the meals up and deliver them to whoever needs or wants them. The cost of the meals is $1, paid on delivery, and all the receiver has to supply is a knife and fork. Also included in the program would be those just out of hospital who are unable to cook for themselves for a while or even elder couples who wish to take advantage of the program. Wednesday was the projects first day, with seven meals be- ing delivered around town. The meal consisted of tomatoe juice, roast beef and gravy, pan roast potatoes, corn, homemade tea biscuit and butter and homemade cookies. Pat Kading, of the Gand Bend Lioness' , says the pro- gram will be weekly from now on, Wednesdays at noon. "This is not a money -making project," says Mrs. Kading. "One dollar is paid by those receiving the meal and if there happen to be any other costs, the Lioness' will meet them." Mrs. Kading went on to say they have visited all the church groups in the area as they need volunteers to drive for the half hour or so at noon on Wed- nesdays. Anyone interested in receiv- ing these meals on Wednes- days or knowing of anyone who might like them should contact Pat Kading at 238-2129 or Sharen Soldan at 238-8109. problems. "Your Lifestyle Profile" and "Ways to Improve Your Life- style Profile" are elements of Operation Lifestyle, a public education program developed by the department to encour- age Canadians to assume great- er responsibility for their own health. Earlier this year Mr. Lalonde introduced the Fit -Kit to help individuals estimate their levels of physical fitness and assist them in selecting activities appropriate to age, lifestyle and personal capacity.
