The wife, 72 years of age, is _ confined to bed as the result of " stroke. The husband, a retired jcnrpenter, is 74 years of age. , They live alone, subsisting on T savings and the old age pension. The couple have a radio and in the evenings they listen to their favourite programmes. Hi gh- lights for them each week are the visits at the V.O.N. nurse. The 74-.vear-old husband is the cook in the family. While his wife gives directions from bed, he bakes cakes, pies, does can- ning and other work in the kit- chen. He also cleans and washes. In his spare time, he cares for his garden which provides a use- ful supply of vegetables. The V.O.N. nurse comes into the house three times a week under direction of the attending doctor. She bathes the elderly woman, changes the bed linen and provides nursing care. In tact,' the husband and wife get along very well with the as. sistance of the V.0.N., leading a comfortable, contented existence in their tiny, four-room home. N ormally, this would seem like an impossible situation-one that would require the home to be btoken up and the housing of the couple in an institution or with friends " relatives. Despite illness and a very mall income, an elderly céuple in I small community is leading I happy, contented life .through the co-operationpi the Victorian Order of Nurses. lead hlapprlife With VON's Aid (This article is published by the Times and Guide in the Interests u "V.O.N.
