This Man Is An Involved Citizen Until 1962, Ole Breum and his wife were farmers but higher costs for ma­ chinery was more than the Rutland, North Dakota couple could handle and they got out of farming. "We didn't exactly re­ tire," the 75-year-old Breum told a writer from The Na­ tional Council on the Aging. "We just made a change." The change involved pur­ suing a long-time interest in conservation which stem­ med from Breum's love of fishing and hunting. "The ironic thing about getting involved in conser­ vation was that it cut down on my own hunting and fish­ ing," Breum said. Breum has also served several terms in the North Dakota legislature, so he was an especially effective voice in matters of soil and water conservation. Locally, Breum was re­ sponsible for developing the Silver Lake Recreation area, a park and camping area he now manages. In conjunction with Silver Lake, Breum organized a horseshoe club which has grown to 20 teams through­ out the county. There are few areas that Ole Breum has not been in­ volved in, from serving on the board of the local county museum, to acting as sexton of his church cemetery. According to local -re-si-- dent Mrs. Arnold Fedje. "Ole is involved in every kind of community affair you can imagine. He de­ livers meals to shut-ins. he takes people to the doc­ tor and the hospital --which is over 40 miles away -- takes people to meetings or church -- whatever is needed, you can count on Ole Breum." Breum's good works have earned him awards from the North Da­ kota legislature and he has been honored as Rutland's Senior Citizen of the Year. The self-effacing Breum downplays the awards he has received, stating that "I don't feel that anyone should just up and quit. They should do what is in­ teresting and stay active. That's exactly what I do." » • * MEDIC ATIDN EDUCA­ TION is a program designed by Roche Laboratories to encourage older persons to develop proper medication habits because of the poten­ tial for misuse of medica­ tions among the elderly. As part of the program, Roche has published a booklet called "The What If Book," which answers basic questions about taking med­ ication. The booklets are available at no charge in doctor's offices and phar­ macies throughout the country. * * * THE TOWN OF Tracy, California has cut its juve­ nile delinquency rate from 30% to 15% and is assisting the elderly at the same time. Alarmed at the high rate of delinquency, town officials begar) to provide a variety of activities at no cost to youngsters between the ages of 8 and 18, including gymnastics, scuba diving, and field trips. As payment for these activities, the youths are required to donate a specified amount of time in assisting older adults and the community at large. Requests for assistance are made over a "senior hotline" for assistance. A supervisor then goes out with several young people and performs the job at no charge to the older adult. During the project, the young and old have been able to identify with one another and mutual respect is fostered through work­ ing together and commu­ nicating PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY.

Neutered animals are less likely to roam, fight or "spot" furniture and carpets. Your new pet will be with you for a long time. Careful selection, proper plan­ ning and responsible care can make pet ownership a won­ derful experience for the whole family. ALMOND CREAM FIE Planning to give your chil­ dren a pet for Christmas? These suggestions from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), can make the gift a joy for the entire family. Decide what size pet you can accommodate in your house or apartment, allow­ ing enough room for the animal to sleep, eat, play and exercise. Be sure to select a pet that will fit into your family's style of living. Exotic animals such as monkeys, skunks, jungle cats and certain reptiles rarely make good pets. They are usually expensive and difficult to care for. Exotic animals can also be very dangerous. Pets cost money. Be pre­ pared for the day-to-day ex­ penses of food, health care and other essentials. "Free" pets from animal shelters also involve some expense. Any animal you bring into your home should be thoroughly examined by a veterinarian and vaccinated against infec­ tious diseases. Depending upon local laws, your pet may also require a license. Good health depends on regular medical attention, proper nutrition and correct treatment and handling. A veterinarian should give your pet regular medical checkups and can advise you on plan­ ning a properly balanced diet. Be sure family members do not mistreat the pet. Very young children may unknow­ ingly injure a young animal, often by "over loving" it. It is a good idea to have your pet spayed or neutered as soon as your veterinarian says the animal is ready.
