Salem ''Old Folks Home" is Rightly Named

k(TH HIS is the best home we ever
had, is the unanimous opinion
voiced by the inmates of Sa-
LENS Old Peoples home, located OF
Twelfth street. There are II at present
at this place, and most of them have
formed this conclusion after a several
years residence.
Usually when one thinks of an old
peoples home their thoughts are asso-
ciated with forbidding-looking build
ing, decrepit inmates and stern and un-
approachabe superintendents and over
seers. Such, however, is not the case
here, for it is a "home" in every sense
of the wcrd. There are no grim Of
ficials, but instead, applicants and Wis
itOrs are received alike, graciously and
kindly, by Mrs Fannie M. Penn, who
has been in charge of the institution
as superintendent since last August,
succeeding Mrs. Louise Spoor, who died
while serving in this capacity.
Probably almost everyone in the city
knows tnat Salem has such an institu-
tion, but if you should ask them any
thing further concerning it they would
| no doubt be unable TO rive anv infor-
nation.
The home was incorporated five wears
ago last October, under the manage.
ment Of the Woman's Home missionary
society of the Oregon conference cf
the First Methodist church. This de.
nomination sees to il that proper care
and comfort is provided those WHO. up.
On entering the place, claim it as their
home thereafter.
When the hone was started pri.
vate residence was secured, but this
soon became Inadequate, and a larger
building, formerly occupied as the busi.
ness office of the Oregon Nursery com.
pany, lust across the way on Twelfth
street, was moved over and ioined to
the original building. and has since
been used as the main building. Twenty
persons can now be accommodated, each
with individual rooms. There is also
chapel, mems and women 5 sitting.
rooms, dining.room, kitchen, storerooms
and superintendent 5 office and parlor.
