warm place for them to stay.
Conserve energy tn the home by stopping up drafts
and insulating and keeping a low profile thermostat. Open
curtains on the sun and clone them to the shade.
Doctors and health specialists tell us over and over nidi
to get overtired, wear warm but loose fitting clothing, go
to bed with a cold, avoid drafts and people who sneese.
keep out of rain and walk cautiously over slick places on
the sidewalks, back steps and streets.
Nutriontota devise menu after menu for warm meals
on cold days, better school lunch pally, hearty breakfasts,
and quick suppers for short days.
There’s hardly any field of human endeavor which
does not have a book of instructions on winter survival
But there is one area that we have not seen covered,
and it may be one of the moot important segments of our
society.
And that is the winterixatioa of oar elderly population.
Surely they deserve the same care and attention that we
lavish on our plants and homes and pets and ears, and
winter assaults them just as surely and with at least as
much impact.
We personally like our elderly, our senior cituens
Much of our active life has been spent dealing with them in
one way or another, and they are fine folks.
They are often somewhat senile and querulous, but
their word is not given lightly, and when it is given, it is
. kept. These good people don’t buy as much as the younger
generations, but. by golly, when they buy something, it’s
paid for! As renters they are frequently demanding, but
they bring in their rent right smack on time, or early!
And that's more than can be said for many of those
with fewer years.
* BuLwinter is the time of despair of the old folks. They
despise the cold—they endure heat infinitely better than
X chill. The days are short and the nighta long, and our senior
citizens love daylight and fear the nighttime.
Watching at the window—a favorite past time—is no
longer fruitful. There are no blooming flowers or budding
trees or greening lawns or passersby. There is just the
dull, inhospitable, gray, monotonous winter day, in endless
t repetition.
The fine old people'may take to daytime television in
bored despair, such as: “General Hospital." “As The World
Tunrs." “Guiding Light," “The Doctors." and “The Days of
Our Life.** But. all that sob stuff can drive even an active
person to mental desperation if taken in large dooes!
So. what do they want? What do they need?
A little human "kindness, that’s all' An occasional
phone call, a brief visit, a thoughtful card: these are the
little mundane and Ordinary things in the lives of moot of us
that can bring sunshine into 1 winter’s room and provide
conversation for days to come for our older folks.
Winter is tough on everything and everybody. Let’s
all try to winterize our elderly just a little bit, too.

Rarely a day goes by that we do
not find the price of something we ■■■MM
use has increased. Interesting as it
may be. the very agency who
supposedly is' looking out for our
welfare is the agency responsible
for those price increases— the Fed-
eral Government. |
First, we have the ever popular
inflation. In general, we can count r t
on price increases equal to the rate - - TrJ’-
of inflation. Although economista brag about increasing
production absorbing inflation, it rarely works out that
way. The result is that we have increasing inflation driving
up prices. Regardless of how much people may protest
higher prices, they will continue to increase so long as
inflation continues. The more the public begs for
government handouts, the more inflation'we will have and.
the higher the prices will go.
Second, this government of the people seeks to take
care of us by regulating us to death and/or smothering us
under an av|^nche of paper and red tape. While the
general pubn^haa long been aware of this “paper
principle," there apparently is little concern over the
tremendous costs of these stupid, paper filling, programs.
No business will ever just absorb the costs of having to
