The Visiting Nurses Are More Than Just Visitors
To This Little Lady of 79 Who Lives Alone

for the patients and
their families on how to help
themselves.
Physical therapy helps some
who are potentially able to be up
and around to get back on their
feet. The availability of skilled
nursing care often permits a pa
|tient to remain in his own home.
rather than 60 to a nursing or
convalescent home.
| But aside from indications and
instruction, the visiting nurses Of
fer a special kind of therapy for
the elderly and their families
Through their knowledge and un-
derstanding of the problems OF
the aged, they often inspire new
confidence and hope.
Agency of Chest.
Sometimes the patient himself
doesn't realize his capabilities.
Sometimes his family is over-pro-
tective and miSguidedly keeps him
from doing more to help himself
The IVNS is an agency of the
Community Chest. Those who can.
pay all or part of the visiting fee.
Others receive the service free.
Home nursing care for the sick
is one of many services you sup
port through your gift in the Com
munity Chest-USO campaign. See
that this help to your neighbors
with problems continues by max
ing the drive a success.

Formerly an active clubwoman,
she dropped her last membership
only recently. She still is alert
and loves to read. She can pre-
pare her own meals. And she
values her friends.
There are many elderly persons
like Mrs. Forbes, who with just a
little outside help, can retain a
high degree of independence.
That boost. which can mean
the difference between letting
down and carrying on, between
feeling life a burden and feeling
self-sufficient, is an objective of
the IVNS.
Number of Elderly.
The society has a number of
elderly people on it's rolls, sew
eral over 80 and one who is 102.
Sometimes the patients live
alone. Some have friends who
come in to do for them. Others
live with relatives.
The visiting nurses provide not
only professional home nursing
care for patients of all ages. but

How the Chest Serves
The little white Wom-

The little White-haired Wom-
ans eyes light up when she sees
the trinity uniformed visitor.
At 70, living alone, and ham
pered by rheumatism, a person
isn't sorry for bit of company.
Mrs. Forbes special callers in
recent months. however. have
been more than just visitors.
They are members of the In
Structive Visiting Nurse Society.
Mrs. Forbes has suffered from
rheumatism since she was 10. She
became nurse when she grew up,
Her husband, an attorney, died %
years ago. Her family lives in
another city.
Last March Mrs. Forbes found
herself unable to walk. She went
to the hospital for several weeks.
Home again. she found herself in
something of a stew. the doctor
had advised some hypodermic in
jections which she wasn't equipped
to administer on her own. She
thought of the IVNS.
Still on Call.
All summer, the IVNS nurse
came every other day. The regu-
lar treatments have ended now.
But the nurse still comes. at the
ring of a telephone when Mrs.
Forbes needs her.
Despite her ailment, the years
have been kind to Mrs, Forbes.

1akoma Park Squad
Rejects Call for Help;
Heart Attack Kills Man

A 66-year-old insurance man
died last night of heart attack
in front of his home just outside
Takoma Park city limits while
Ineighbors sought to get rescue
squad to come to his aid.
Walter B. Abbott of 403 Circle
avenue was pronounced dead or
arrival at Washington Sanitarium
lat 6::24 pm, SO minutes afyer a
first call for a rescue SQUAD was
received by the Silver Spring Fire
Board.
The Fire Board said the
Takoma Park Rescue Squad re-
fused to take the call, because it
was outside the city limits.
Fire Tax Voted Down.
Last October the Takoma Park
City Council ordered the fire de-
partment not to answer fire and
rescue calls outside the area since
residents there voted down a 10
cent fire tax to pay for protection
offered by the city.
The Takoma Park ambulance
was on another call at the time,
but an unidentified fireman told
the Fire Board that fire apparatus
with first-aid equipment could not
be dispatched to the scene.
The Silver Spring board then
contacted the Prince Georges
County board which dispatched
Brentwood's rescue squad. Mr..
Abbott's home is less than a mile
from the Takoma Park station but
about three miles from Brent
wood.
Deluged With Calls.
The Silver Spring fire board
was deluged with calls from resi-
dents of the area asking for an
ambulance. The fire board said
it took about 26 minutes to get
an ambulance to the scene.
Mr.. Abbott was a native of
Maine but had lived in the Wash
ington area since 1880. He had
lived at the Circle avenue address
for the last nine years. He is sur
vived by his widow.
The body was taken to the S. H.
Hines Funeral Home, 2901 Four
teenth street NV. Funeral serv-
ices and burial will be Sunday in
Lincoln Center, Me.

ChorteritesAccused ofWontinq
To Tax All for Local Benefits

said the basic advantage of char
ter government is that it enables
laws to be passed in the COM
munity instead of having to ap-
peal to the Maryland General
Assembly.
1--WE have confidence in the peo-
pie of Prince Georges County and
believe they are capable of run
ming their own affairs without the
confusion in our present form OF
government" he asserted.
Mr.. Wheatley argued. however
that. in the State Legislature
there is a system of checks and
balances.
If this charter goes through, -
he declared, 1--WE will not have the
safeguard of two legislative cham
berS acting on bills; we will not
have the advantage of a veto
which the Governor exercises, and
we will not have the right to de-
mand a referendum before a bill
goes into law"
Clash Over Manager.
DR.. Ray replied that the State
Legislature is often guilty of
"hasty and ill-considered action" "
He said real control over local
legislation could be better exer-
cised in the county, where there
would be no confusion with a
welter of bills for other areas of
the State.
The two candidates disagreed
on the intent of the Citizens Com
mittee slate with respect to a
county manager under the pro-
posed charter government. Mr..
Wheatley said his opponents
hackers have committed them
selves to a county manager-coun-
Gil form of government.
DR.. Ray denied this. saying his
slate has an open mind on the
question of a county manager and
would not include this provision
if it appeared a majority of the
citizens opposed it. Mr.. Wheat
ley declared he and his slate are
definitely opposed to having a
county manager.
