Claude Pepper (D- Fla), Chairman of the House Select Committee on Aging asks consumer and senior citizen organizations to watch the August 27 rerun on the “Lou Grant” show which depicted problems of the elderly and to provide him with their reactions to the program. The program was recently attacked by the American Health Care Association which represents for-profit nursing homes as unfairly depicting conditions in U. S. nursing homes. The American Association of Retired Persons and the National Retired Teachers Organization have given the program an award. Rep. Pepper said he wants to know if the general public and senior citizens in par ticular found the episode accurate or overstated. Both AHCA and AARP recently wrote to the station managers of all the CBS affiliated stations. Inquiries to CBS indicate that most, if not all stations will rebroadcast the program. To be certain, seniors should check with the CBS station in their area. AHCA recently wrote to all the advertisers who support the “Lou Grant” show asking them to withdraw their advertising for any future showing of the episode. Comments should be sent to Congressman Pepper at: Select Committee on Aging, 3269 House Annex No. 2, Washington, D. C. 20515. Sermon The sermon topic selected by Rev. R. R. Blankenhom for the Sunday morning worship service, at the Edenton United Methodist Church is: “A Shepherd’s Heart.” The text for this message: John 10:11. pi SAYINGS ARE SHOWINGS *** -ON EVERY FOOD SHELF IN OUR STORE \*wvj Grade A U.
