J'ailu pour vous lu pour -Le Troisieme Age Lorsque nous @étions enfants, on nous a pose A tous la question rituelle: "Que veuxetu devenir quand tu sera grand?" Et nous avons en general répondu tout aussi rituellement: | agent de police, mecanicien, docteur, pompier, etc. Avec tout l'en- thousiasme juvénile de lenfance, nous aspirions a réaliser notre reve. Mais surtout, nous voulions @tre "adultes", pareils au grand frere ou & la grande soeur, 4 maman ou & papa Adolescents, nous brilions de'impatience d'avoir enfin 21 ans. Majeurs, nous souhaitons atteindre la trentaine - et ainsi de suite. Il est cependant un seuil que nul ne souhaite ap- paremment franchir: celui des plus de 65 ans, du "'troisitme Age". Car la seule perspective qui s'ouvre ensuite, c'est la mort. Comme le disait un poete romain de l'Antiquité: SOF) vieillesse, plus redoutable que la mort elle'mé@me.. Nous finissons pour- tant, et en nombre croissant, par entrer dans ce groupe. En 1970, il y avait sur la terre 291 millions d'hommes et de femmes figés de plus de 60 ans, soit 9 percent de la population totale du globe Fn l'an 2000, leur nombre atteindra prés de 600 millions. Incontestablement, nos quelque 300 millions de personnes Agées representent un _ in- vestissement énorme en termes d'années d'ex- périence humaine. En additonnant leurs années de vie, on obtient le total THE DANGER OF MAIL ORDER PRESCRIPTIONS Often over the years, the danger of mail order prescriptions have been cited in many medical journals. Here is one example -- Officials from the federal government will be in town this week to inspect the Penetanguishene post office on Main Street. Postmaster Omer Gravelle said he isn't sure the exact time of the move from the old building "The dangers of mail order prescriptions include delays encountered in obtaining the medication, the absence of the physician-pharmacist relationship, the difficulties of checking the prescription files for strength and dosage. All physicians should cooperate by keeping their patients informed relative to the dangers of these schemes."
