After a delicious dinner enjoyed by many members and some guests including Mr. and' Mrs. Alex Shepherd, we enjoyed our evening speak- er 1. Audrey Bate introduced Alex Shepherd M.-P. for Durham. Mr. Shepherd besides being an M.P. is a chartered accountant and farmer. 1Mr. Shepherd said our economy has created many new positions but wornen in business are refused busi- ness loans more often'than men whlch should be cor- rected. Forty-five per cent of the GNP is owned by peo- pie outside of Canada. Japan wiIl surpass the U.S.A. in trade by 2000 as Japan promotes savinïg 50 the Japanese people can invest money inother coun- tries. Mr. Shepherd trav- eîled to Beijing with a dele- gation for trade purposes.

The Bowmanviîîe Business and Professional E- Marie Nelson Certified Nutritionist 983-8278 Nutrition Counselling & Lifesty-le -Balancing Surveys done in both 'Canada afId the United States indicate that the majority of people over age 55 are at nutritional risk. A study compieted by the City of Toronto Department of Public Heâlth concluded that 59% of the seniors sur- veyed were at'nutritional risk and 2àP/ were at high nutritional ïisk. It is even more alarffling to realize these resulis may underes- timate the problem. The, participant§ were all inde- pendently liVing seniors who were flot home bound;, if home bourid seniors had been survey@d; it is likely the percentage of those at risk would have been higher., There aire many chal- lenges faced by seniors that put them at greater risk than others for nutritional probleas. Some of these challenges ificlude: 1. The relatively high use of prescription and non-pre- scription mediation. 2. The high ikelihood that symptoms of poor nutrition (dizziness, lethargy, lack of appetite, etc.) will be attributed to other illnesses * normally associated with * aging. e 3. Teeth and gumi prob- * lems which promote avoid- * ance of fruits, vegetables and whole'grains., a 4. Habituai alcohol con- ,t sumption replaces intake of h nutritious foods and stress- o es the older body's abilîty to detoxify. 5. Prolonged inadequate -intake of nutrients (associ- ated with eating less than two meals a day) cari lead to Women's Club will host District IV Annual General meeting on Saturday, October 28, 1995 from 8:30 a. m. to' 3: 00 p. m. at Bowmanville Lions Club.
