Advisory Chairman

He urged general support of the drive to raise $20,000 for the main tenance fund.
 The work of the Visiting Nurse association, he said, involves not only home calls for acute and chronic illness, maternity and infant cases, but also an educational pro- gram and clinics for mothers both before and after childbirth.
 The well-baby stations, he con- tinued, have been carried on at eight different conferences week. These are conducted for children between the ages of six months and five years and afford private plly- sician, opportunity to discuss the individual problems with the nurse.
 After pointing out that the Visit ing Nurse association of Waterbury was organized to help prevent illness and to improve the general health of the city, Bean said that the as- sociation last year made total of 33,703 calls, or an average of more than 2,0O0 calls for each of the reg istered nurses.
 Appealing for, contributions, he urged that donations be forwarded to the Waterbury Visiting Nurse as- sociation, 37 Central avenue.
 The association. he said, caters to the whole city. Tt does not distin- guish between race, creed, religion or class and accepts payment only from those that are able to pay. Over half of the calls our nurses make are without payment and I feel 1t is one of the most necessary and helpful of charities"

"It was only a damn expense, and I'll probably outlast the stone anyway" was the way she ex- plained her lost interest. How ever, the tombstone she considers a wise investment. SuperStitious belief convinces her the evil spirits of the graveyard are folled into believing she was safely put away years ago.
 Mrs. Keitelman came to the Home only two weeks ago. In an interview with a Democrt repor- ter, Superintendent Harry Board- man stated today she is probably the healthiest of the inmates at the home. Her eyes are good, she is able to get about as well as any youngster of 30 or whereabouts, and as for her appetite, well, this is typical days meal:
 Breakfast: milk, orange, cereal, one egg, and roll. Often second helping of milk.
 Lunch: meat, mashed or baked potato, tea, apple sauce. Doesn't care for Soup).
 3::30 Tea: orange, tea and bun.
 Dinner: milk, cereal, tea, with extras.
 Mrs. Keitelman doesn't care to recall the past these days. Admit tedly she prefers to look ahead to the future. For several years past, alone and without many whom she could call friends, she lived in damp basement on East Hawkins Street. A few weeks ago prominent Jews of Waterbury became aware of her plight, and steps were taken to provide for her. Two weeks ago her application for admittance to the Jewish Home for the Aged was promptly accepted and today Mrs. Keitelman, happy and con- tent, looks forward to that prom ised 200th birthday.
 To that we say Amen.

 Mrs. Rachael Keitelman, 102 years old inmate of the Jewish Home for the Aged on Cooke street, admits she's rather young as ages go, but then states she has every intention of keeping 200 years birthday party in lieu of the one she overlooked on her tooth birthday.
 In true feminine fashion she prefers to treat her years lightly. "The first hundred" she smiles, "are forgotten. I'm really only 2 years old" As proof she claims a set of new teeth.
 Mrs. Keitelman was born in Kiev, Ukrania, August 27, 1889. At the age of 66, widowed and with out children, she came to Water bury with a brother, who died here over twenty years ago. AL ways an active woman, she ped- dled dry-goods and became fla miliar figure among Jewish peo- pie in Waterbury, Ten years ago she retired from active work, liv- ing alone in a basement room on East Hawkins street.
 Asked for a formula on long life, Mrs. Keitelman said: You just live, and before you know it you're 100. That's the time you stop wor- rying and start in living the sec ond hundred, only the second hundred is so much simpler"
 Twenty years ago Mrs. Keitel- man bought a cemetery plot for herself and ordered a monument. The proper inscriptions were chis- eled, the stone was erected, and Mrs. Keitelman purchased can- vas to protect the monument against the day she would use it.
 The canvas covering has long since disappeared. For a time Rachael purchased new covers, but finally gave it up in disgust.
