Adlopf Hitler; Walt Disney; Fideal
Castro; Merv Griffin; the Smith-
sonian Institution; Pearl Harbor
attack; Shortie, a squirrel who
lived around the courthouse at

The basic guidelines for a
nutritious diet are the same for
most healthy adults. Older people,
however, need to pay special
attention to the quality of the
foods they eat.
An older person’s requirement
for nutrients such as proteins,
carbohydrates, vitamins, and
minerals, is not very different
from that of younger adults. But
because of changes in the body
and decreasing physical activity,
older people usually need fewer
calories. This is also why many
people gain weight more easily as
they age.
A nutritious, well-balanced diet
provides a variety of foods from
each of the major food groups
Monday through Thursday at the
Senior Center. This program is
only partially funded by Title III
and that the intent of this
program is to “assist” in
defraying the full cost of the
service for persons over 60 years
of age. A contribution of $1.50 is
needed to help support the
nutrition program.
Friday the covered dish will be
at the Center in Goldthwaite with
table games before and also
afterwards. This time of recrea-
tion and fun helps a person get
Card of Thanks
Friends - This thank you is
rather belated due to the weeks
of recuperating from heart
surgery. There is no way that we
can ever repay you for some 200
cards and letters, as well as
telephone calls, visits, and the
many prayers offered up in our
behalf.
One never realizes how impor-
tant a good healthy heart can be
until suddenly some repair work
needs to be done. Thanks to the
dedicated doctors, nurses and all
who have given help and
encouragement to us.
May God bless each of you.
