Warren Piaza News
By MARTHA PAGE
We all had a very enjoyable
Thanksgiving
here at Warren Plaza.
We had a big, nice lunch
with turkey, dressing,
pumpkin pie and ice
cream and all the trimmings.
Everyone ate all
they could hold and then
went directly to bed after
lunch for a nap with
a full stomach. We had a
house full of visitors all
during the day and into
the evening and several
of our residents went
home either for the day
or for the weekend with
family members. Those
going home were: Nancy
Carter, Edward
Spence, Addie Rowe,
Gladys Moody and
James Scott.
It has finally turned
cold and feels like winter,
but we have had
some very beautiful sunshiney
days this week
and the residents have
enjoyed being outside in
the sun.
We have received lots
of nice clothing from
many of the local residents,
and we appreciate
all of them. But
there is still a need for
bedroom shoes and underclothes.
We also need
moon boots or soft
bedroom shoes for some
of the ladies. Many of
the residents here have
trouble with their feet
and are unable to wear
conventional shoes.
We have several new
residents, some from
this area and some from
Halifax and Northampton
counties. They are:
John Dawson from Littleton,
Joe Morris from
Warrenton, Miss Doris
Edmonds from Halifax
and Mrs. Gladys Moody
from Northampton
county. We have people
from all over the state
here, many from as far
away as Dare and Hyde
counties which are both
down on the coast. At
the last count we had
people from 27 different
counties.
Warren Plaza has
overcome a bad reputation
that it had eight
years ago when I came
here, and we are now
getting people from all
over the state.
Population Boom
The world's human population
reached its first billion
in the early 19th century, but
it doubled and reached 2 billion
by 1930. By 1975 it had
doubled again. In the remaining
years of this century world
population will top6 billion;
by 2025 it will reach 8 billion,
says National Geographic.
