Editorial A great deal of consternation has been caused over the present Hoover-Roosevelt tactics. People are very pleased with the splendid co operation Hoover and Roosevelt are displaying, and they feel that the men are commendable for the re lief they are trying to bring to those who are in utter despair from the "depression."

The issue for this week was written by the new staff with the help of the old one. Personals Miss Woods, the music teacher, had her long black hair done up in a knot on the back of her head last week. But she doesn't any more, because she has turned mod ernistic and had her hair bobbed.

All but two of them are on foot; one woman has had a "stroke" but can get about and help herself. She is 85. The other is just past eighty, and has a sprain ed hip, using crutches to go about her house. One old man, 86, Is a vet eran of the civil war; another will be 88 at his next birthday. It is interesting to watch these old boys and girls, who have some how come mighty close to living the right way, else they could not have achieved all these years with such success; I meet many of half their ages who really complain more than they do. And they know just a little more about what is good for them to eat than I do. I never put them on a diet, except to ask them to eat what "agrees' 'with them. If I caught one old fellow eating salted peanuts and topping off with Ice cream, I would not Btop him. If one has diabetes, I do not by any means cut off a reasonable amount of sugar from his dietary. I have always been a stickler for letting well enough alone. One of them just went out my door this moment has a leg ulcer. I keep DRY dressings applied while it heals nicely. Ho laughs over the situation, not at all like a much younger man would do. And, my old people are so appre- dative; they make one love them. They have lived all these years, I have no doubt, on that very prlnci pie. The fellow who Is eternally finding fault Is in a poor way to live out a long and beautiful exist. ence, because he burns up the good within him. We younger ones may learn from this.
