Problems in Care
of Chronically Ill
Increasing
By HERMAN NJ. BUNDEsEN. NJ. I
THE problem Of caring for
patients who are chemically i'll,
that is, who are suffering from q
prolonged illness, is directly asso-
ciated with the problem of caring
for older people, because so-cAlled
chronic invahdism in eight out Of
ten persons occurs in people after
the age Of thirty-five. 1t occurs in
only one out of every twenty be-
fore the age Of fourteen.
II has been noted that we are
rapidly becoming q nation Of
elders. That is, there are far more
older people in the population than
there were in former years. In
1900 about II per cent Of the total
population of the United States
were forty-five years old or more.
while in 1910, 26lS per cent. ex-
eeeded forty-hve years Of age.
Adjustment to Age
According to Doctor Herman L.
Kretschmer. President Of the
American Medical Association, the
physician has an important part
in adjusting the aging people to
their changing abilities. He Is
called on to treat larger numbers
Of patients who are suffering from
disorders Of the advanced years Of
life.
The first consideration in regard
10 the problem Of these chemically
III persons is the establishment Of
methods for the prevention Of
chronic ailments. This should be-
gin early in life with proper
personal hygiene, right living and
suitable diet. Too much emphasis
cannot be placed on the Importance
Of q regular physical examination
by the doctor at least once q year.
This often brings to light infee-
tons in the teeth, tonsils, sinuses
and elsewhere in the body which
may be factors in the production
of such disorders as arthritis or
Inflammation Of the joints and
high blood pressure. The clearing
up Of these infections may be an
important factor in the prevention
of these disorders.
Doctor Kretschmer also points
out that the family has an impor-
tant place in taking care Of the
chemically i'll patient So often
the patients invalidism Is created
or made worse by the attitude Of
his family and friends. In their
sympathy for the patient, they
overprotect and shelter him so that
his spirit as we'll as his body 10
crippled, and he does not have the
desire to be up and about.
Industrial Workers
Those In industry also must
have q part in this problem.
Elderly workers must be given .
Job which fits their abilities. At
the same time, It Is important that
they continue to work so that they
may be able TO retain their self
respect in the knowledge that they
are producers.
Plans are being made for estab-
fishing institutions to care for the
chronically Ill and. a. . part Of
the treatment In these institutions,
steps should be taken TO restore
Independence and self-relianee a.
rapidly as possible. It may be az
pected that the medical profession
will join in meeting this problem
Of the chronically Ill rs they have
in solving other important prob
lens relating to health.

PENNIES make
DOLLARS"

If you think that paying a penny
or two more than the ceiling price
doesn't really matter, here are some
figures supplied by the local War
Price and Rationing Board which may
make you think again. Studies of
the cumulative effects of small over
charges reveal that they are a serious
matter according to local board mem
bers.
Surveys of food stores made by the
o. P. A. reveal that in general the
single overcharges are not serious.
However, the local chairman pointed
out that if each store was in viola
ton on only three items by one to
three cents, the yearly overcharge in
dollars and cents would amount to
approximately $4,000 for every twenty
stores. Since there are more than
1000 food stores in the state, that
means in year the people of Mon
tana would have their food bill raised
by more than half million dollars.
The local chairman concluded by call
ing attention to the recent statement
of o. P. A. Administrator Chester
Bowles to the effect that above-ceil-
ing sales of food were now costing
all Americans about s1,000,00O,000 a

GERMAN coLLEcTlvIsM

Allied bombings and the invasion Of
Germany from two ends have brought
to the social life of the Reich a prim
tive collectivism that is marked by
mass feeding, crowding of whole
families into single rooms and requi
sitioning of civilian goods from the
'have's" to equip the "have-nots."
The "have" civilians have already
been tapped for scarce textiles on g
national scale via the so-called "Peo
pies Sacrifice" campaign, with the
clothing going to the Volkssturm and
bombed-out evacuees. Meanwhile, as
disclosed in European press dispatch
es, mass feeding is spreading continu-
ally, with food being distributed from
factory canteens, communal kitchens
and even river boats.
Many German cities, including Ber-
lin itself, are pictured in European
dispatches as being without gas and
electricity for days at time. When
these services are available, 1t is only
for few hours day. The shortage
of power is so great that in number
of places only one light may be used
at time in an entire household.
AS result of this situation, large
groups of Germans are huddled to-
gether in one room, around the only
stove and under the only electric
light, with all families living In
house sharing kitchens and kitchen
utensils.
Gualeiter Hartmann Lauterbacher of
South Hanover told people of his dis
trict recently that it had not been
found necessary yet to requisition
furniture, but he added that "if it be-
comes necessary to touch these
things, we shall find means to mobi-
lie them, with the owners consent"
Some German families, according to
the Nazi provincial press, haven't
even been able to get one whole room
for themselves.
Until 1t gets warmer" Nazi pro-
nouncement informed the people of
Schleswig- Holstein, every family can
not demand one room for itself, and
several families must If necessary
heat one stove and cook on one range
with the available COAL"
The statement added that warm
ing rooms" were available for persons
utterly without fuel, but only until
9 p. m.
Naturally enough, overcrowding has
created friction between bombed-out
