Did you know - Many of us have been flying around getting these personal Power of Attor- ney documents implemented in case we become infirm. This will give our chosen person the right to administer our affairs and prevent a government trustee being appointed during this pe- riod. Note this does not include Jour safety deposit box at your ank or trust company. You must take your appointed trus- tee into the bank and sign for: a) giving him the right of a trus- tee to your safety deposit box while you are alive. This right dies on your death. or b) he signs as a joint owner of our safety deposit box, thus al- owing him access now (if you give him the key) and after your death. The previous form you gave is this Saturday the bank does not include your safety deposit box. Also, remember your valu- ables in the box are not bank- insured. One trust company in southern Ontario many years ago was broken into and they gained access to the vault but couldn't open the money safe, so they stole many of the safety de- posit boxes. Rather remote to- day with better alarm systems, etc. Also, fireproof-wise the vault is much safer than at home. Smile of the Week A friend of mine told me the story of himself when driving, pulling up to a sudden stop be- cause the traffic light had changed to amber and wang bang, he was rear-ended. He got out and there was a big Mack truck. After all the legal rum- us, he got the car repaired. Row he loves to tell people of his "Big Mack Attack". Saying of the week Inertia - Begin to free yourself at once by doing all that is possi- ble with the means you have, and as you proceed in this spirit, the way opens for you to do more. Robert Collier P.S. This week I spoke to Al, Dave Dietlein's father, and he reports Dave is doing quite well and takes a walk each day of two or three miles. He reports to the hospital once a week for a check- up. I thought his many friends would like to know.
