As preventive medicine is essential to good health, it is hoped these health suggestions will aid readers in main taining fuller vigor and health for their families. Readers may wish to clip some of these tips for future reference. The first of these health tips appear in this issue. Warren Plaza Activities By MARTHA PAGE Well, it is the begin ning of a new year for all of us, and we hope it will be a very happy and prosperous year for everyone. I think we have had a very good year here at Warren Plaza. This has been the best Christmas we have had since I've been here. The local communities have been more than generous with their donations to us, and we certainly do appreciate everything that was done to make the lives of our residents a little easier. Many, many useful items were given to each of our people and there was more fruit and candy than they could eat at one time. We still have some can dy and fruit that we are giving out each day to residents. Many of them went home for a day or a week and some of them have been home for a couple of weeks. Our home was full of visitors and lots of food was brought in to the residents. No matter how much good food we have here, there is nothing like a plate of homecooked food. We always have special meals on holidays and this year was no excep tion. We served both turkey and ham with all the trimmings and apple pie with ice cream as dessert. We watched the faces of the residents that were going home for a day or two and saw the happiness there, then looked at the ones who knew no one was coming for them and it almost breaks your heart to see the sadness in their eyes. Please, if you have a family member or just a friend in a rest home, nursing home or other kind of home, make a new year's resolution to go to visit as often as possible. Take them out for a short ride if you can't take them home with you. If they aren't able to go out for a ride, just visit with them for a few minutes. You will never know how much it means to them to know that someone cares enough just to come to visit for a short time. So many of them never have a visitor. There are probably at least two dozen people here who have never had a vsitor since I've been here, which will soon be eight years. Again, we want to thank everyone who has done anything for us this past year and hope you will continue to remem ber us this coming year. Till next week, God bless. Name Was Wrong In last week's an nouncement of the birth of the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wills Hun ter of Hillsborough, the name of the infant was misspelled. The correct name is James Vinson. The Warren Record regrets the error. Grows Popular "Ms." the non-tradi tional form of address, is growing more popu lar. Twenty-one percent of women asked in a recent Roper poll preferred it.
