by Helene Ballard Another nice day and I hope you are all enjoying it. The residents here at Birchwood had another en- joyable picnic with the Chimo Club of Schreiber. We went to Ney's Park and it was just such a nice day. Some of the gentlemen played horseshoes while some of the other folks went for a walk on the san- dy beach. After a tasty pic- nic lunch a few games of Bingo were played after which we drove back home. I would like to thank the Chimo Club for in- cluding Birchwood in the delightful outing. Also our very capable bus driver, Pat Slawson and her kind- ness to a "Bunch of Senior Kids", and as well thank you to Trottier Bus Lines for the use of their bus. Now to our dear friend Pam Jones who is not up to par these days, we miss you at the Home. Do please accept our best wishes for a speedy recovery, it's time Pam for some more "Sing Along." We missed you on our trip to Ney's, so hurry and get back into the pink. I suppose all you baseball fans are happy that the strike is over now, you can watch your teams either win or lose -- I am not a sports fan myself, but I wish everybody good luck. Just keep your fingers crossed that the hockey players do not do the same thing. Thank you folks for your egg cartons, it sure is a big help, keep them coming. I wonder if you nice people have noticed how nice our grounds look here at Birchwood. It's like a well-kept park both front and back and we owe it all to the work of one of our residents, Michael Glavota who has this work to keep him busy -- well done Mike. No bite this week, if any Thy Will be done by PETER MONKS Branch President, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter * Day Saints In this age that we live in, we are a very. self- centred, egotistical, pleasure-seeking popula- tion. Our wants are many, our outputs, with a few ex- ceptions, far lower than they could reasonably be. Recently I came across this article about "Good Bishops" and a man nam- ed Thomas Bradwardine who was made the Ar- chbishop of Canterbury around the year 1350, he wrote, among much other material, the following: "T think there cannot be any prayer more profitable or more efficacious, whether in prosperity~ or rs adversity, whether concer- ning what one desires or what one would avoid, than that one may always be able to say unto the Lord, with one's whole heart and soul and strength, Thy will be done. For thus it will come to pass that one shall keep back nothing to oneself, but be able to sub- mit oneself and all one has to the divine will; wholly desiring the glory and honour of God, and never one's own, whether in great things or small, fear- ing nothing and caring for nothing in itself, but glad- ly embracing, if need be, for the sake of God, the loss of riches, honour and fame -- disgrace, ridicule, persecutions, and whatever miseries, except the displeasure alone of Almighty God."' Diving continued from page 1 quadriplegic Gary Stockfish, will be shown on all Ontario stations this summer. The ministry is also supplying prevention posters to water safety groups across the province. Diving accidents ac- counted for 70 of the 78 cases studied between 1974 and 1985. Drinking was known to be implicated in 20 of the 70 and suspected in several others. Spinal cord injuries occurred in swimming pools in 29 of the 70 cases; 37 in lakes, followed by rivers (5); ponds (3); the ocean (2); creeks (1) and quarries (1). The majority of accidents took place in the late after- noon or early evening. "We are particularly concerned with the high levels of spinal cord in- juries as a direct result of diving accidents. The an- nual incidence rate appears to be on the rise and the most frustrating thing is that these accidents don't have to happen," Tator said. 'Early treatment of some spinal cord injuries can help restore function to patients, but recovery of use of limbs is minimal in major injuries. Public education and prevention are paramount in helping to reduce these tragic in- juries," said Tator. BSSFTBACA, of you have one please let me know and if it's a good one, I'll have it in this col- umn. I received one letter 2 weeks ago and it was a good bite so it was printed, so come on friends, give this old gal a hand. Enjoy the rest of the summer safely - in boats wear life jackets, they are as important as seat belts. Until next week ... this wish' for all of you: May all your joys be greater As each year goes flying past Each one a little better And more happy than the last. Cheerio. Aspartame - Low cal sweetener Sugar consumption decreased by 13 per cent this period, most likely due to the introduction of " aspartame, a low-calorie sweetener, in July 1981. According to Snell, pro- ducts that have been sweetened with NutraSweet have soared in popularity. "These pro- ducts have a clean, fresh taste that satisfies the body's craving for sweet, light, and refreshing foods and -beverages. Unlike other artificial sweeteners introduced. to the market, aspartame is perfectly safe. Fifteen years of rigorous testing were undertaken before it was approved for use in foods-and beverages in Canada, making it one of the most thoroughly tested food ingredients in our food history."' _ By changing your think- ing from "lose ten pounds"' to "eat lighter", Snell believes that your weight loss goal will also be achieved. "'Just think of all the mental time and energy you will save once you stop thinking calories and start thinking health,"' says Snell. Let's see you do it! nn, ta PaRnNcPAtnion EES be baby received.
