Arthritis sufferers can beat
pain caused by housework

THE ARTHRITIS Society has new
solutions for old problems to help
people with suff, swollen ores re
tain tagir independence.

Packaging and  unpackagine
foods can be a teal problem tor
people ashose fingers and wrists
arent as mobile as thes might be.
Throw away those awkward twist-
nes -- sprng-type clothes-pins are
aotnuch casier way to keep bread
and seeetables bags closed,

A sire clothes hanger, pulled in-
toa dong loop with the hook at one
end, makes a handy helper fos all
those things that drop on the floor
or Which. the light: switches, are
sometimes just out of reach.

A TV tray on wheels or a TV
table that's no longer in use can
take oon oa new fife as ‘home
Helper.’ Just take it with vou as
vou vlean and tidy up -- saves all
the fetching and carrying from
room to room, and the lower shelf
is deep enough to take a small car-

ofa rat-tailed comb or brush will
fit snugiy into one end of a piece
of lightweight: plexiglass tubing.
Just warn one end of the tubing
over heat ull it softens, insert the
brush oor comb tail, then clamp
firmly with pliers to ensure a tivht
mH.

No more standing on sour head
to clean the bathtub! vs long-
handled sponge-mop. with a
handle-lever top to help sou wring
out che water, will da the trick.
Mop-head corners are rounded so
those curves are a cinch, and you
won't have to bend over at all.

If vou're having problems with
buttons, und even a large. closed
safery pin wom't do the trick, yet
out the Velcro, Take oft ihe bot-
tom and sew if on top of the bute
tonhole, then sew small Velero cir-
cles where the button used to be
ands right) underneath the bute
Lonhole. :
