Food, fun and fellowship:
More than meal provided
When the noon whistle blows
each day from the Sandy Fire
Hall, it means more than a
chance to eat for senior citizens
who attend the Loaves and
Fishes luncheons at the Sandy
Senior Center.
TTie meals are valuable from
both a nutrutional and social
point of view.
“ I t ’s much more pleasant to
eat a meal with someone else,”
said Gretchen Casey, assistant
director for the Sandy Senior
Center. “ Social contacts are a
very important part of our
program.”
The center offers two
programs aimed at senior
citizens aged 60 and over.
"T h e meals on wheels
program is aimed at people
who can’t get out of the house,”
said Gretchen. “ Maybe they’re
ill or disabled, or not able to
cook. Sometimes it ’s very
difficult to cook a meal that’s
well-balanced for one or two
people ”
Congragate meals are served
at the center.
Through social contacts at
the center an informal support
system often happens," said
Mrs. Casey.
Someone w ill announce

ride home or share an extra
item of food with someone they

expanded to include 35 centers
in Multnomah, Washington and
Clackamas counties.
Food for all the centers in

central kitchen in Portland.
The Sandy program began in
1974 and is managed by food
service director Shirley Flath.
In November the Sandy center
served 909 meals and center

A common misconception a week except for the second

They do everything from serve

hot meals to senior citizens at

Driving takes approximately
one-half hour each day, ac­
cording to Mrs. Casey.
“ They could volunteer once a
month.” she said. “ That’s the
greatest need.”
Carpet designers are con­
tinually making changes in
carpet styles and colors, so the
consumer has many choices.
According to M arilyn Lunner,
Oregon
State
U n ive rsity
Extension home economist for
Clackamas
County,
the
forecast for the near future is
softer colors and surfaces.
Solid colors are still present
in carpet lines, but some of
those which may appear at first
glance to be solid colors may be
tone-on-tone. The tone-on-tone
can give sparkle to carpets and
help to hide soil. Earth tones
are popular, reports Mrs.
Lunner, but many other colors
are available.
She says another trend is to
softer, less bold designs. The
patterns are more apt to
complement the other fu r­
nishings ra th e r than to
dominate. Many designers are
trying to produce the effects
found in nature, where there
are few solid colors and little or
no pattern repeats.
“ The feel of many carpets is
becoming softer, which is
accomplished by making the
size of the fiber smaller,” she
notes. “ Although the carpet
may have a very soft feeling,
the carpet should have good
resilience and wear properties
if the yarn has been properly
processed and styled.”
The long shags of a few years
ago have given way to much
shorter shags, and frequently
there is a short loop under the
longer cut pile. Denser piles
