painted in every possible effort to
make it a home instead of an in
stitution.
The stigma associated with the
very name poor farm" has been
enough to stop many old people from
going there, to say nothing of the
unsatisfactory conditions that often
exist at such public institutions.
Living with relatives is probably the
only other alternative for old folks
without adequate means of support,
but this is seldom a satisfactory
solution. Old people often want to
maintain the highest possible degree
of independence, and for them the
program in Meagher county is a
progressive step.
The drab brown walls of the old
home are being renewed with light,
colorful paint and plaster repairs
have been made. Linoleum and
colorful throw rugs are being put
on the floors. Wallpaper, curtains,
Grapes and refinished furniture are
all doing a part to make the old poor
farm a home-like resting place for
the old folks.
Individual rooms are planned for

is allowed, with the home operating
