“It’s wonderful here,” said Mrs.
Davis. “We sit and talk and laugh . . .
I haven’t give up yet to take a nap.”
“GOLDEN SUNBEAMS’
The group has named itself the
Golden Simbeams. “That’s not Senior
Citizens, now,” said Mrs. Bames.
“We’re different!”
Mrs. Spencer herself gets “a kick
out of seeing them help each other.
They get along so well, and seem to
enjoy being with one another so
much.”
Before opening up her home as a
day care center, Mrs. Spencer was
an employe of Slane’s Hosiery Mill
for 20 years. An accident on the job
last June kept her out of work a year.
The at-home job was an answer to
many problems.
“I really do enjoy this,” she said
with a smile. “This is the best job
I ever had. I always did enjoy older
people, so this was just right dovra my
line.”
No special equipment is necessary
for Mrs. Spencer’s home. There were
no special requirements in order that
she be licensed, and she needed no
particular training.
More homes such as Mrs. Spencer’s
are badly needed, especially in the
Model Neighborhood, according to \
Concentrated Social Services. Inter
ested persons can call the Vail Street
office at 885-0121 or the Daniel Brooks
office at 885-0078.
