For our local Senior Citizens,
happiness is a sense of security,
a warm, cozy plvatx? to call home,
a place in which they might take
pride, a place of seclusion, when
one wai'.ts to be alone, and a
place to greet guests when the
occasion arises. Home is always
best, no matter where or how
humble but in the case of the
fortunate elderly and disabled of
Kings Mountain, it is a dream
come true.
Each week ve would ke to
present a few pictures, showing
the Public Housing Authority a-
partments, both inside and out
side, the ocdL%pants in many cases
so that you may see for yourself
just why this housing program is
such a boon to our community
and a blessing to so many of our
citizens whom I have interviewed.
There are two t>T)cs cX; apart
ments designed specifically for
the elderly and disabled, the ef
ficiency apartment which has a
living room and bedroom combin
ation, divided by an attractive re
tractable screen. Both living
room and bedroom are large and
quite convenient. The efficiency
apartments also have a nice kit
chen, not ejuite as lartge as the
one bedroom apartments, but
more than adequate in storage
space and floor space alike, not
to mention that they all come e-
quipped with electric range anU
refrigerator. There is also a pan
try adjoining the kit'chen, mak
ing everything within reach of
the occupant.
The closets are nice and large
and also have an attractive slid
ing door .to match the decor of
the apartment.
The bathroom of these apart
ments are just the very height
of convenience for people that
are a little shaky, for the tubs
are not only equipped .with show
ers for those who are not able to
take a tbb bath hut there is also
a rack to hold by while getting
in and out of the tub, not to men
tion the anti skid bottom built in
to the tub. Also all the bath
rooms feature heatlamps above
to warm the chilled body w’hile
still wot from a bath.
Mrs. Lona Morrison is one of
the occupants of an efficiency a-
partment and loves her home.
She is a diabcuic anlj she says
that she cares for her home com
pletely and enjoys doing so, also
she feels a sense of security that
she did not have before. She ’S
now 72 yeaio young and enjoy
ing life so much more than she
ever thought possible.
Mrs. Frank Smith lives in a
one bedroom apartment, which
is almost i!.;entical to the effic
iency apartments with the ex
ception that the kitchen is a lit
tle larger and the bedroom is
completely separated from the
living room.
Since television is one of her
main interests, her picture was
taken in fmnt of her color TV,
but in order to get the picture,
her favorite rock<*r liad to moved
closer to the TV' and all of the
spacious liviHrroom couM not be
captured by the camera.
Mrs. Smith treasures her home
becaiuse of the feeling of self-suf
ficiency, convenience and the fel
lowship of her friendly neigh
bors. This is home to her and
when talking to her about her
home, one can not i.olp but be
overwhelmt'd at her Thankful
ness and apprecoiation.

Senior citizens, and their homes.)

Women Lion’t have to wave
banners of protest to get better-
fitting and longer-wearing panty
hose. According to Sam M. Ber-
ry, president of the National As
sociation of Hosiery Manufactur
ers, women can i;et better fit aud
longer wear ~ right now I — by
following these Hour simple steps.
1. Select the correct size.
2. 'Put them on properly.
3. Realize that sheer pantyhose
are fragile.
4. Give them proper care.
When buying a pair of panty
hose, don’t take for granted that
you wear a “small,’’ “medium.”
or “large.” Sizes vary somewhat
from bran'J to brand -because of
different yarns and different de
signs. Look for the si/o? inslpcct-
inos on each package before you
buy.
