here who have to struggle to get one meal day Without help Mrs Atwood says the elderly in many other countries will simply die be cause they have no food no medical coverage and certainly no pensron The aged are respectfully seen as the heads of families there but work is scarce and the young people move to the larger cities leaving the elderly behind Often the elderly wont follow but if they do go they may be reduced to living in the streets or begging for food LETTERS EXCHANGEI Canadians have adopted nearly 225 grandparents abroad at cost of $100 each year That small amount of money

forwarded to the care organ ization and letters are sent back and forth and translated One Ottawa gradeschool class has adopted granny and we are anxiously awaiting the first letter Thats the nice part of the programbeing able to communicate with the sponsors and having granny know there is someone interested and concerned Mrs Atwood says the group is launching Christmas ap peal for the elderly
