GETTING THE MOST FROM A WATER HEATER

Keeping the hot water hot
for a family of 11 could be
a problem for the Mulderrig
household if it were not for
the help of the largest man-
ufacturer of water heaters in

-- the warld.

Mulderrig reports:

“Bath times could easily
be a terrible problem for
us, With 11 people trying
to get washed we need to
have a lot of hot water on
tap to keep us clean and
happy.

“But I must say that our
75-gailon Rheem water
heater more than meets our
needs, We were especially
grateful for it this past
freezingcold winter~when
any breakdown or letup in
our hot-water supply could
have created a real family
émergency.””

City Investing'’s Rheem
water heater operation has a
47-year history of manufac-
turing quality products, and
introducing dozens of inno-
vative features in water
heaters,

This year, for example,
Rheem is introducing a new
and more efficient water
heater called. the Energy
Miser.

Diabetes-

Blindness

VANCOUVER (CP) —
The incidence of blind-
ness caused by diabetes
has almost doubled in the

decade among
persons between the ages
of 25 and 50, Dr. Stephen
Drance, a University of
British Columbia oph-
thalmologist, said
Saturday.

“Previously we had
been used to finding
blindness only among the
younger age group from
congenital causes and
hereditary disease and
then among our order
citizens whom
degenerative changes ...
were prevalent,” Drance

told Vancouver In-
stitute. —

He said in an interview
that in 1969, 11 per cent of
all blindness in Canada
was due to diabetes, and
ig now up to 20 per cent.”

Many diabetics were
more likely to suffer from
perinher, nerve disease,

dney disease and eye
disease than non-diabetic

patients of the same age,

said,

“Tf diabetes is
diagnosed at the age of
20, the chances of blind-
ness by the age of 30 are
really no different from
the non-diabetic,” he
said. But by the age of 50
the diabetic is 23 times
more likely to be blind
than the non-diabetic.”

“So while their risk of
blindness is greatly in-
creased, the incidence of
blindness is fortunatel
not that high,’ he said.

Drance sald a new
counselling service, for
dabetics who are going
blind or who ve
recently lost their sight,

THINK BEFO
If there’s a box to be
moved at work, you just
move it. You seldom think
about how to do it prop-
erly, Right?
If there’s a piece of furni-
ture to be moved at home,
you just move it. You sel-

dom wait until you can get.

help. Right?

It’s this tendency to want
to get the obstacle out of
the way as quickly as possi-
ble, and the erroneous belief
that you can manage any-
thing you can lift, that
causes most back injuries.
Sprains and strains of the
back are the third major
cause of activity limitation,
superseded only by heart
conditions and = arthritis/
rheumatism conditions,

It is estimated that well
over a million men, women
and children suffer back
injuries each year, mainly
because they lift without
thinking.

In addition to the agoniz-
ing pain that is experienced
by the victims, it should be
noted that temporary and
permanent disablement
from back injury accounts
for millions of hours of lost
time, millions of dollars in
Jost salaries, and tens of
millions of dollars in lost
production. A pitiful waste
of energy and money!

Most disabling back in-
juries come from falls and
careless lifting. They occur
on the job, and at home as
-well. Thus, it is important
to protect your back by
learning, observing, and
teaching preventive habits.

Following are the Rules
for Lifting as recommended
by doctors of chiropractic,
who are specialists in treat-
ing health problems related
to the spine and nervous
system.

RE YOU LIFT
— Size up the object to be
lifted; decide how best to
get a good grip on it,
— Pleat your feet about
10-12 inches apart and sol-
idly close to the object to

— Lift up with the big
muscles of your legs, thighs,
arms and shoulders—NoT
with the back. Keep the
load close to your body.

— Use mechanical lifting
devices for moving heavy
objects. Get help for large,
bulky, awkward, or extra-
heavy loads,

— Use rhythm, both alone
and in a team effort. Let the
load hetp lift itself, ,

—Be sure you can see
where you're going.

—Keep floors clear of
hazards which could cause
you to trip or fall,

— Setting the load down is
just the reverse of lifting.
Keep the back straight, let
the legs bend slowly, and set
the load down easy,

Prevention is the best way
to avoid a back injury. How-
ever, if a strain or back
injury should oceur, no mat-
ter how minor, it is wise to
visit a doctor of chiropractic
immediately. Spinal prob-
lems must not be neglected
as they can cause or con-
tribute to disorders which
appear at many other parts
of the body,
