They have included some of the dally problems faced by these older and often times handicapped (In one way or another) patients, the activities they participate in to pass their time. etc. My column this week is in keeping with this subject, if in somewhat of a round about way. October usually signals the very -t-o-be -- upon us Holiday season. And as this season approaches there are many older people alone and often times forgotten, while the younger folks are caught up In the spirit of Halloween, Thanksgiving and, of course, Christmas. Perhaps then, we should all take more time for the older people in our lives. They give so much each and very day that in some way helps to enrich our own personal lives, whether we realize it or not. They offer so much and yet, generally ask so little in return. Perhaps now would be a perfect time to start visiting, or telephoning or writing a letter to those older people in our lives and let them know bow very much they really mean to us. They nave given us their wisdom gained through years of experience, their laughter, their von life love, devotion and yes, itself. And If we keep putting - " Thursday, October 27, 1983 Pa 4 Her adviser has appreciated her help oa class projects. Brenda Is always there whea she Is needed.

One day it will be too late and well never again have the opportunity to say "I Love You" and "Thanks for being you and sharing with us of the younger generation". So, keeping this in mind, let's "BEGIN TODAY" So brief a time we have to stay, Along this dear, familiar way S seems to me we should be kind, To those whose lives touch yours and mine. The hands that serve us every day Should we not help them while we may? They are so kind that none can guess How soon they'll cease our lives to bless. The hearts that love us, who may know How soon the long, long way to go. Then might we not their faults forgive, And make them happy while they live? So many faults in life there are, We need not go to seek them far, But time is short, and you and I Might let the little faults go by. And seek for what Is true and flne In those who lives touch yours and mine. This seems to me the better really take much Now, It time out of our schedule, no matter how busy we may think we are, or a resident to visit a "shut-in- " at la the geriatric wing the hospital. In fact, it would actually require so little effort on our part, and yet, as emphasized in the following poem by Alice E. Chase, it would mean so very, very much to those on the receiving end of the visit. SOLITARY SOUL" She sits there waiting patiently And wipes away a tear, Wishing that a visitor Would suddenly appear. Someone to say, "How are You? And greet her with a smile ... Someone to sit beside her And chat a little while. It's hard for her to understand Just what she's doing there. What happened to her family And friends who used to care? How come she's been abandoned Like some old worn-oshoe? What crime has she committed? What bad thing did she do? True, she has a bed to sleep in And she's sheltered from the ut rain, there's precious little else To ease her kmliness and pain. She's only one of many In an oldster's home tc y Who finds the price ftr longer life Is much too high to pay. But That picture could be quickly changed If all of us would spend Some extra time just visiting A relative or a friend. Who's shut away from all the things That once were held so dear And needs to be reminded That at least someone is near... To take her by the hand and say, "How are you?" with a smile, And then sit close beside her And just love her for a while! Yes the older people in our lives have done so much for so long, expecting so little in return, that isn't it about time we all started trying to repay a fraction of that love. Remember: "A single act of kindness, Like a stone tossed in a pond, Sends rings of ripples outward that travel far beyond. And joining other ripples, Flow outward to the sea; A single act of kindness affects Eternity. . i ; .
