For instance, if the market takes a sudden dramatic downtum, all markets around the world would automatically halt trad- ing. This would give investors time to pause and examine the situation carefully. Still don't forget Black Monday, October 1987. There are no guaran- tees. Q. Which is better-to invest relatively small amounts in an RRSP over a long period, or larger amounts over a relatively short period? A. The younger you start contributing to an RRSP the better-even if that investment is relatively small. For instance, if you invested $500 a year in an RRSP at 10 per cent over 40 years, the value of your RRSP at the end of that period would be valued at four times the amount of a per- son's RRSP who had invested $1,000 a year for 20 years. And each investor would have deposited the same total amount of money. Q. How many people in Canada are active in the stock market? A. One in four Canadians invests in the market. This does not include the millions more Canadians who are active in the market indirectly through their membership in pension funds. Q. Where does the Toronto Stock Exchange rank among all the world's stock exchanges? A. The TSE, founded 150 years ago, ranks 12th among all the stock markets in the world. It's the largest of four in Canada listing 1,600 issues and it does 75 per cent of all the trading done in this coun- Q. What is the TSE300? A Formed 15 years ago, the TSE300 is a weighted listing of 300 of the country's larger stock-really a mixture of stocks representing a variety of sectors. It gives investors an accurate indication of just where the market is going in Canada. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Li 12 «713 14 15 16 17 18 is) 20 =(}21 22 23 24 y-<) 3) 27 2B 2 K 0) CLUES ACROSS CLUES DOWN 1.

Strong and healthy bones is one of them! Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and weak--making them more suscep- tible to fracture. Women are more prone to it than men, and it is esti- mated that one in four Canadian women over the age of 65 suffers from it. Research has given us a better understanding of osteoporosis. It has shown that regular physical activity can play a part in the prevention and treatment of the disease. We know that bone continually renews itself, with new bone devel- oping and old bone being broken down and reabsorbed by the blood. When bone breakdown exceeds new development, bone loss occurs. Factors affecting bone loss | include aging, sedentary lifestyle, nutritional deficiencies, and menopause. (Bone loss accelerates in women during the first few years after menopause. This is attributed to the reduced levels of estrogen.) With support from the Canadian Fitness and Lifestyle Research Institute, Dr. Don Bailey (University of Saskatchewan) has conducted research in this area. As he explains it, osteoporosis is a "silent thief" which robs the skele- ton of its resources to the point where. bone mass is so low that spontaneous fracture is possible. For children and young people; physical activity, contributes to. the '|}amount and strength of bone attained at maturity. For adults, physical activity seems to delay the time when bone loss begins and slow the rate of loss when it occurs. (Early and regular physical activity, then, are like deposits of money in the bank.) Weight-bearing physical activi- ties--ones that work against gravity--are especially effective for developing and maintaining bone. Such activities include walking, running, dancing, court games, and the like. Research shows that exer- cising with weights can also be helpful. On the nutrition side, adequate calcium in the diet is important during adolescence. Special atten- tion should be paid to calcium intake during puberty because about 60 percent of the final bone mass develops at this time. Older adults must take similar care. Proper attention to calcium in the diet at this age has demonstrated beneficial effects on bone mass when combined with regular physi- cal activity. In our adult years, a healthy, balanced diet will provide all the calcium we need. Ironically, most of the advertising for calcium supplements is aimed at this age group. As Dr. Bailey wisely notes, most people would rather take something than do something. And yet, calcium will not enter the bone without adequate physical activity. An active lifestyle should be recognized for what it is: Enjoyable in itself;. but also. precious "medicine" offering many health Henelitsirromnrroveg ons saty MODEL # F93706X4 MODEL #L45 V.I.N. 1486 October 6th., 1992 that time.
