Older Persons Should
Consider Their Health
Continued from first pase)

Too often households have to
care for needless illness among
older, people. Grandma's cold can
spread to the other members of the
family just as easily as do the
"sniffles' of the children, if she
is not careful. Grandpa can help
to keep himself in good health, as
well AS being a fine example for
the yOungster, when he eats his
green vegetables.
Many illnesses of older folk are,
of. course unavoidable, but the
State Board of Health suggests
that these men and women past 60
should keep as we'll as they know
how" -
Bedside Care Taught
One of the services of the Public
Health Nursing Division of the
State Board of Health is teaching
families how to care for persons
who are i'll in the home. This as
sistance has proved especially
helpful where elderly people are
confined to their beds, for the
h0me-makeri is taught how to ar
range: bed trays, cradles to pre-
vent bed covers from weighing
down too heavily, pillows to ease
aching bodies, sanitation in the
sick room, and many other home
nursing ideas.

Year AgoToday
oPA's PREDICTION PRICES
WOULD LEVEL OFF" HAS
NOT TURNED OUT TO BE
CORRECT

by The Associated Pressl
/ WASHINGTON, Oct. Ito
day marks a year since the OPA
removed ceilings from the price
of beef, and, since that time,
round steak, for instance, has gone
up 80 cents a pound. Increase of
other cuts has been almost as
much.
When the OPA removed the
ceilings, it said that it expected
the price of beef would 60 up
!. for time, but that it would show
tendency subsequently to de-
crease and then level off till it
reached prices that conformed to
the ceilings. But that surmise
did not turn out to be true. In
stead, the prices continued to 60
up and are still up.
A spokesman for the American
Retail Dealers Association said
that the retailers have not bene-
fitted from the increased price for
beef. He said they have been
adversely affected, because they
have had to cut down their mar
gin of profit because of the high
sums charged in the wholesale
market.
Yesterday, a spokesman for
the Luckman committee said, was
more generally observed as a
meatless day than Tuesday of last
week. However, some restaurant
proprietors said that they were
leaving it to their customers to
decide whether or not they want
ed meat at their meals.
In Hollywood, California, re-
port said that restaurant proprie-
tors yesterday served steaks to
their customers from the motion
