Along the way Mel Davis and
Pauline Deane have discovered
that more men between 20 and 30
years of age have joined the service
than women from the same age
group, but over 45, the percentage
of single women is larger than
single men of a similar age.

Run on a personal basis, with
interviews often done at the homes
of North Shore and Vancouver
clients, Deane said the business is
small enough to connect people
easily.

Since founding the service in
October, 1986, the women have
often found themselves deating
with families in crisis with children
involved.

Working with referrals from
doctors and counsellors, Davis and
Deane also give lectures to grieving
groups of people who've lost their
partners, “‘!t’s preventative medi-
cine,’ said Deane.

The service currently has ap-
proximately 100 people on file
looking for partners.

THE FINANCIALLY precocious
finally have a book that talks
about money matters in terms kids
can understand.

Financial Planning For Kids,
just released a week ago by Com-
‘manda Publishing, explains the fi-
nance and investment scene with
characters and a story line.

Gene Lum, with Great Pacific
Marketing, ‘said the book is the
first of what will be a series.

The book is co-written by Van-
couver authors Jim Elliot and
John Heroux. ‘‘This book gives
real direction and advice io
children and their parents. My
motivation comes from recogniz-
ing a need for objective analysis of
vast amounts of data on behalf of
our children,”’ Elliot said, a finan-
cial planning consultant.

Lum, currently setting up the

book’s distribution, expects it to
be available on the North Shore
soon.
