Saving Can Be
Fun--Free Comic
Book Proves It
There was a time, not so very
long ago, when comic books were
frowned upon by thinking parents.
Not so, today. The colorful
booklets are used nowadays by
governmental branches and ma
jor industries to educate, en
lighten, and - at the same time -
entertain. Os course they’re
available on the newsstands, too,
by the millions —and many edu
cators applaud them because they
inspire youngsters into more
reading.
The Comic Book industry has
served as its own policing agent,
creating a system of review in
order for a book to merit the
coveted Seal of Comics Code
Authority.

“We are joining with the 7,200
member homes of the national
association in a massive nation
wide effort to see that not a sin
gle patient Is missed during the
Mother’s Day visitation pro
gram,” Mr. Campbell declared.
“Mother’s Day has been chosen
for the open house because two
out of three patients in nursing
homes are women. We who have
worked with the aged on a day-to
day basis know that loneliness—
despite all we can do ourselves
as professionals—is borne by
too, too many of our patients.
Tens of thousands of them have
outlived families and friends and
feel that the community has pas
sed them by and forgotten them,”
he added.
