Since carpet can add more to a room than almost anything else, it can pay to consult experts such as those at Bigelow, makers of fine car pet since 1825: Good carpet that is firm and dense is more durable than others. Q. How can I recognize a quality carpet? A. In any carpet there are clearly visible signposts to quality, but there are also hidden qualities your eyes never see. To recognize quality, take the carpet in your hands and feel it. Bend it back. Look into the pile. Quality carpet is a finely balanced combination of pile height, pile density (how close the yarns are to each other) and the ply (or number of strands) of the individual yarns. The more fiber a manufacturer packs into an inch, the better the carpet will wear. Generally, the best guide to fine carpet'is the deeper, the denser, the better. For overall quality, however the kind you see and the kind you don't itis smart to rely on the manufac turer's good name, plus the advice of a reputable dealer. Both build their reputations on satisfied customers. For answers to other questions, send 25 cents for the book let, "Everything You've Al ways Wanted To Know About Carpet," to Bigelow Sanford, Inc., Dept. of Consumer Information, P.O. Box 3089, Greenville, SC 29602. A HEALTHY FAMILY VI HEALTHY SENIOR CITIZENS Allan R. Magic, PhJ)., M.P.H. Aging is a subtle, lifetime process. There are vast dif ferences between individual aging patterns, though. In fact, even within a single per son body functions age at dif ferent rates. Four out of every five of America's older citizens have one or more chronic condi tions, and their medical treat ment accounts for about one third of the nation's health care expenditure. For this group, not only must further increases of life be achieved, but each individ ual must be allowed to seek an independent and rewarding life in old age. Work and social activity. Employment or volunteer ac tivities are important if the individual is accustomed to working. An active social life is also important to good health. Senior citizens should maintain ties with family and friends, and avoid isolation. Exercise. Regular physical activity provides both physi cal and psychological benefits, helping maintain joint move ment and body balance, and promoting complete relaxa tion. For the senior citizen, daily walks are the best. Nutrition. Regular, bal anced meals are important. Particular care should be tak en to include vegetables sources of iron, calcium, and fiber and legumes instead of red meat. Preventive services. Some problems encountered in ag ing can be detected and cor rected at early stages. A check-up every two years un til age 75, and once a year rf 1 1, i -- after that, is recommended. Tests should include blood pressure check, hearing and vision exams, breast exam for women, urinalysis, red blood cell measurement, and exami nation of the stool for blood. Medication. Too much medi cation is frequently given to older people. Often fewer kinds of medication and lower dosages will suffice. Immunization. Influenza and pneumonia are special concerns. Older people should be immunized against these whenever necessary . Home safety. Falls are the leading cause of accidental in jury and death among older adults. Housing should have good lighting, sturdy rails and steps, non-slip floor surfaces, and fire detection and pro tection measures. Services. Unnecessary in stitutionalization should be avoided. Older adults should be provided with safe and affordable housing, dietary assistance through group meals and home meals, trans portation and communication service, recreation and edu cational opportunities, and other services necessary in order for them to live comfor table and meaningful lives. by the Health Department, Gen eral Conference of tn Seventh-day Adventist Church, as a community service. Child's Room Should Reflect Personality Decorating a child's room calls for communication be tween parent and child. And, in the long run, the exchange of ideas and expectations can be more im portant than the final appear ance of the room, believes Wilma Hammett, extension house furnishings specialist, North Carolina State University. So let your child help decide what" 8 to go into tht) room. And leam what your youngster expects from his surroundings. Clip ideas from magazines and catalogs, Mrs. Hammett suggests. Discuss these together. Then choose room decorations to coordinate with your child's interests. When decorating a child's room, consider his indi viduality, Mrs. Hammett suggests. If a child enjoys drawing, painting or coloring, cover the walls with "chalk board" paint or easy-care vinyL Then a youngster can create without causing damage. For other children, printed carpet squares with bright numbers for hopscotch and figures for games might be an entertaining room addition. JltllMIHMI One reminder: when decorating, remember to place all pictures and furnishings at a level the child can see and use. llltlflTrmmmtnmnllM KS3 Dally: 1:18- iiiiiiimlliii 7:15-9:15 SaUSun 3:15-5:15-7:15-9:15 yilll'l' "Jlw'aBlrffl'"'"'""' , w . v. . . i . . j ii iiiiii i mu:iMl)in,i,-,,n! iMng' t.
