THE OLD FEMINIST By Phyllis McGinley Snugly upon the equal heights Enthroned at last where she belongs, She takes no pleasure in her Rights Who so enjoyed her Wrongs. â€"-From TIMES THREE * measure where more extensive care is needed. If an individual because of handicap or per- sonal inclination neglects personal care and personal hygiene to the point of being a health hazard, if he is in risk of injury such as from a fall and unable to summon help, if he is unable to escape from fireâ€"pOSSiny even accidentally caused by himselfâ€"he should be encouraged to obtain service of some more extensive nature rather than Meals-onâ€"wheels.

Nevertheless, the visiting nurse not infrequently becomes involved in assisting in feeding the patient, in advising on diet and manner of food preparation, and on occasion even in preparation of the meal itself. Their function should not be overlooked in an asâ€" sessment of the various alternatives towards providing an adequate meal service.
