Lutheran Church
Home Celebrates
Tooth Anniversary

The Lutheran Home for Orph-
ans and Aged at Germantown,
Philadelphia, will mark its Tooth
year of service during 1859 with
a year-long celebration of events
and activities. The Home, the
Oldest and one of the largest de-
nominational institutions of its
type in the area, serves $50 con-
gregations in Eastern Pennsyl-
vania and Delaware. 1t current
ly provides resident care for FL
children, It's aging men and
women and nonresident care
for As senior citizens.
To meet the need for increas-
ed facilities, the Lutheran Home
is undergoing a $750,000 expan-
sion program. One of its build
ings, originally constructed in
1906, is being thoroughly reno
waited to provide new geriatric
facilities, and new wing is also
being added. 1t is hoped that this
expansion will enable most of
the 1876 aging men and women
now on its waiting list to be ad-
mitted to the Home. Ten events
are planned for the centennial
year, beginning with a special
Founders Day service on Sum
day, March Is. Several national
ly prominent Lutheran. church
men and experts in the field OF
gerontology will participate in
the activities. Frederic G. Krapf
of Pembray, Del, is president OF
the Lutheran Homes board OF
trustees. He has been president
of the board since l946 and a
