Staff and supervisors are constantly searching for ways to help residents cope with their feelings of hostility and isolation. Bertoni came up with the idea of getting them into a gym to help them vent their frustrations. “My mom likes me lifting weights because it keeps me out of trouble,” says Brian, who was assigned to the home last spring. Brian says he had been lifting weights to prepare him for the wrestling pro- gram at his school. “But when I got into cus- tody, I couldn't do weights and started missing it be- cause I had no way to take out my ” Chris,~15, who has been living at the home since September, is getting back into weight training after in- juring his elbow. “I was out for a couple of months, and when I wasn't training I felt dead.” Other group home resi- dents have simpler reasons for going to the gym. “When you have more muscle size, you get to hang out with an ‘in’ group because you're not a wimp any more,” says Cranston, 15, who has lived at the home since June. “And the girls like it.

Many Japanese see it as a rich country full of poor people. Japan's banks and companies dominate international lists, its citizens have the highest average income in dollar terms and the per capita gross national product will probably overtake that of the United States this The average annual income of a Japanese worker, including bonuses and allowances which are paid to most employees, was’ the equivalent of $37,807 Cdn before A recent report by the Tokai Bank, however, says living standards lag far behind. High prices, overcrowding and a lack of leisure facilities have led some to question why Japan's immense wealth has not resulted in a better life for the average “Japan has improved drastically since the end of the war, but individual Japanese still aren't so well off,” said Shintaro Abe, former foreign minister and a top official of the governing Liberal Democratic party. Middle-class workers pay an average $178,383 to $346,666 Cdn to buy tiny homes that usually lack insul- ation and central heating. Many young parents on small salaries make do in two-room apartments — called in one French report “rabbit hutches” — and use public baths. Food costs 1.5 times more on-average in Japan than in the United States; fuel, light and water charges are 91 per cent higher; and rent is 66 per cent higher, says a survey released last year. Land price increases of more than 80 per cent a year in Tokyo have outpaced most people's ability to buy homes. Millions spend at least 90 minutes daily, each way, commuting aboard jam-packed trains. Some say Japan's drive to become an industrial power has sacrificed living standards for the sake of international economic might. Kenichi Ohmae, a director of Japan rich, but people poor Political protest has been limited by several things. Many Japanese look on today’s godsend when compared with the years during and after the Second World War. And many Japanese don't know about living conditions abroad. “Most Japanese don't realize that a man earning the same $18,000 a year in Milan, Italy, lives like a king, with a car, boat and even a second home,” Ohmae said. Intense competition for the same goals — a good education, a job in a good company, and the same for children — also inhibits protest, says Tokyo University Professor Shumpei Kumon. and Co., a Tokyo consulting firm, says the political system may have suited a largely rural population 40 years ago, but it does not respond to the needs of today’s urban middle class. Although 80 per cent of all Japanese live in cities, the system gives more weight to rural voting districts. The government forbids rice imports and restricts those of cheaper foods. Rice, the staple food, sells for $67 for a 10-kilogram sack in Tokyo. common complaints. |. Violent crime is not and the Sapaneae have the lowest infant mortality rate and longest life expectancy in the world — 79.1 years for women and 73.6 years for men. But Japan's dedicted armies of salaried workers have begun to grumble. A study by the Nippon Life Insurance Co. indicates almost two-thirds of 1,000 people polled felt their living standards were low. Housing, time spent commuting and a lack of free time were the most ene are not grave. Few Japanese are widespread 's hardships as a Alderman Energy for the Future!

The Scratch-Plus winning The Lotto B.C. numbers drawn were: 5, 25, 26, 34 and 38. The bonus number was 10. In the event of a dis- crepancy between the above numbers and the official winning numbers list, the the $1 million winning num- bers in Sunday's Super Loto were 2394813 and 2461900. Subsidiary prizes were also awarded. planned says Evelyne Hunter, execu- tive director of the Family Care Workers of Ontario, a trade association. Hunter said that qualified familycare workers could be hired to step in when a husband is ill and his wife can't afford to take time off work to look after him, the kids and the house. Without the family-care worker, the wife would likely call in sick. Being able to hire a qual- ified homemaker would also benefit single parents who occasionally travel on bus- iness, she said. It's not meant to take the place of daycare, she added, but is a temporary measure to ensure the family is taken care of and the household runs smoothly in an emer- gency. Experts say absenteeism costs Canadian companies millions of dollars each year. They say a company with 1,000 employees and a $30- million payroll could lose $2.1 million annually because of worker absences. A worker employed in a seniors’ home or other instit- ution makes about $12,500 a year, but Hunter said some say they TO FEEDING KIDS Common-sense aoe TORONTO (CP) — When nutritionist Eleanor Brown- ridge reads books and art- icles aimed at parents, she sometimes wonders if the authors have had children. ‘They offer such advice as never bribe children with food, never treat desserts as more rewarding than vege- tables, never supplement with a bottle if you want to continue breast-feeding. “Their advice may repre- sent the ideal, but it's hard to follow the ideal when you are raising one or more pre- 's Brownridge, a mother of three in London, Ont. In an effort to bring a little common sense into the issue of feeding children properly, Brownridge has tried to “blend pragmatism, not dog- matism” with nutrition facts in her first book, I'm Hungry — Your Guide to Nutritious and Tasty Food for. Young But having written such a guide, Brownridge admits that although books can give parents ideas of what a two- or three-year-old might en- joy, “books don’t tell you as much as your child can.” would pay as much as $25,000 to keep valuable employees much for it and save on ab- senteeism. It's a long road, but it will come,” she said. She said she plans to start drumming up interest from the region's major employers in January, when the first 20 students in the family care program start basic training at Algonquin College. former presi- dent of the Ontario Dietetic Association, says that like so many things, the pendulum swings when it comes to what's best nutritionally for infants and children. She recalls an article writ- ten by Toronto pediatrician Dr. Donald Hill in 1975 about the “steady decline in the prevalence of breast-feeding and a simultaneous trend to- ward the early introduction of solid foods.” Today, she says, “75 per Phone early for appointment 365-2912 BECAUSE AT CENTRAL KOOTENAY IMPORTS VOLKSWAGEN .«» We Care FRI., NOV. 13 & SAT., NOV. 14 From 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. 55 Point Service brag hr piarsrde py ° Free and without Phone early for appointment 365-2912 10% OFF PARTS & LABOUR.
