This is National Sew and love Week. and at a time when every effort is being made to enco age thrift in order to reduce the t rent of inflation and bring the cost of living down, it is more important than ever that it should be obser- ved - and that the tips picked up should be remembered and used throughout the rest of the year.

"Needles and pins needles and pins - when a man's married. his troubies" - all end, if he is mar- ried to an enthusiastic home sew- er who not only knows her fashion story. bllt knows how to apply it when makinrr clothes for herself and the family.

Good sewing tools go a long Way towards giving that professional look in home solving. Buy the best scissors. take good care of them and never use them for cutting paper.

some months ago I wrote about work being done by Dr. E. M. Biuestone with his associates av. the Montefiore Hospital, New York City. in which "home care" was given to the convalescent and the elderly. That is. patients who had begun to get well. together with a number of elderly patients with chronic ailments. were sent home and the facilities of the hospital followed them. Also just a few months ago, I quoted Dr. Edward Streciter, prrofesor of psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania. in his book "Fundamentals of Psychia- try" in which he described the psychoses of old age in which there is a downward trend. men- tally and physically. There are various types of "strange behav- ior" in the aged: (a) very nervous.

Tun-Agar: Sensible . To Put Off Marriage

DEAR MISS DIX: My boy friend has naked me to marry him when I finish high school. which will be in another year. I some- times feel I'm too young to consider marriage. but he insists age makes no difference when two people are in love. Do you agree with him or do you think we should wait? We also have his draft status to consider; he will probably go into the service within the next few months.

. SUE ANSWER: You are so right to delay marriage until you think you are old enough. Don't be rushed into so important a step. When you finish school your sweetheart will, probably be in service, and will be too un- settled to marry. Waiting another year or two will see him back in civilian life and able to take up ” the project of a home and family.

WIFE IS BORED

DEAR MISS DIX: My husband and I are both In our fifties, and have been married one year. We get along very well except that he doesn't like radio. When he comes home from work he has dinner, and then aettiel down to rend for the eve- ning. By 9:30 he is ready to retire. He never takes me any place. we have no company and I am really very lonely. I belong to several club: but haven't gone to meet- ings since our marriage. I wouldn't leave my husband for anyone; he”: a fine man. but I would like to get out more. A. L. ANSWER: Be thankful for a happy, contented and settled hus- band. and don't yearn for the moon. Since you are home all day and probably don't have too much housework. you want activity in the evening: your husband's situation is just the opposite. He spends the day working and meeting people: by nighttime he's satisfied just to

The problems that create the, need for the home care program' are: (a) universal hospital-bed shortage. a drastic lack of insti- tutions to care of the older people and patients with long-term iii- nesscs. and the increase in the life span or expectancy. The a:lv.-mi.- ages are: it helps alleviate hospi- tal-bed shortage; it is cheaper than hospital care, cosiirlg about one- fourth as much: the inherent or natural advantages of the home offcr an opportunity to practice tn. good quality of medicine: it strengthens the doctor-patient re- lationship; it has a benefit that cannot be measured statistically. namely the psychological effect of rcceiving "hospital" treatment in the home.

This supervised hospital care in the home is really. if at all pos- sible, the ideal treatment for that elderly. It may includc keeping bowels regular (but not using too much laxative or purgative medi- cines). small doses of sedative or quictlng drugs when necessary, re- lieving skirl irritation: and suit- able mineral and vitamin treat- mment.-
