NEW SOLUTIOMGS for old pro-
blems are helping people with suff,
swollen joints retain their in-
dependence. The Arthritis Society
provides these hints:

Carry-Along Easy Chair — For
many people with stiff hips, rising
from a regular-height chair can be

difficult, if not impossible, without -

help. If it’s your favorite chair at
home, you can make or buy a
four-inch frame and fasten i:
under the chair. If you're going
out, take your own easy chair with
you — a two-to-three-inch-deep
square of hard foam disguised by a
pretty cover with a carrying strap.

Toothsome Tidbit — Squeezing
the toothpaste up the tube getting
you down? Put the tube in a cup
with the cap cnd un and leave it
there. Gravity will force the bot-
tom of the tube to fold up as it is
used, and you won’t have to
squeeze up from the bottom any
more. Or — easier still — treat
yourself to the new pump-style
toothpaste.

Bed Making Made Easy — If the
twist-and-push of bed making is
too hard on tender joints, use an
ordinary wooden or plastic house-
hold ruler to help push those sheets
between the springs and the mat-
tress.

Beating the Backyard Blues —
Foam insulation, like that used on
hot water pipes, can be a boon to
the disabled gardener. Already
split along its length, the foam in-
sulation can easily be slipped onto
the handle of a rake, broom or
lawn mower and taped into place.

Zipper Helpers — When that
awkward zipper is .on a purse or
briefcase, a plain, round key-ring
on the zipper tab will help. All you
need to do is hook a finger
through the ring and pull.

Soapy Solution — Many people
have already discovered that liquid
soap in pump dispensers is the
answer to Slippery soap tablets in
the tub or basin, Make it work in
the kitchen, too. Next time you
have an empty liquid soap con-
tainer, fill it with your favorite
dishwashing detergent and leave it
on the kitchen counter. All it takes
is a push on the pump.

An Alaskan Cruise for two
aboard a Holland Ameriza luxury liner.

A *4590 Value

You'll embark on a one week deluxe holiday, cruising
the farned inside passage with stops in Ketchikan, Juneau,
Glacier Bay and Sitka before returning to Vancouver. Cruise
arranged by Prime Travel.

Never a dull moment

You can start your day by working out in the fully

equipped spa or with a dip in the pool. You can play tennis,

volleyball, ping pong, shuffleboard, even practise your golf
shot. If, however, you're into a lazy, do-nothing kind of day,
you could start with breakfast in bed before wandering
around the library, card room, casino, computer learning
centre or the shopping arcade. (Lots of duty-free bargains
here).
