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. :
