THE STAFF OF BETHLEN HOME SENDS YOU WARMEST THOUGHT AND WISHES DURING YOUR STAY HERE AT THE BETHLEN HOME.

ASK YOUR UNDERSTANDING IF WE FORGET SOMETIMES YOUR PREFERENCES AMONG FOODS, BUT THE MANY WISHES FROM OUR 103 PATIENTS ALL IS HARD TO REMEMBER AND OUR DIET CARDS ARE TO SMALL TO KEEP ALL THE INFORMATION FOR EVERY RESIDENT.

NEWS : PROFESSOR DR. ALBERT SZENTGYORGYI AMERICAN - HUNGARIAN FAMOUS RESEARCHER DIED. HE SAVED MILLIONS OF LIVES THROUGH HIS DISCOVERY OF VITAMIN C, FOR WHICH HE RECEIVED THE NOBEL PRIZE IN 1937 IN HUNGARY. HE EXTRACTED VITAMIN C THE FIRST TIME FROM GREEN PEPPERS. DID YOU KNOW THAT THE GREEN PEPPER CONTAINS MORE VITAMIN C THEN ORANGE JUICE? NO WONDER THAT IN EUROPE THE GREEN PEPPER IS ONE OF THE MAJOR SANDWICH GREENS. TRY GREEN OR RED COLORED PEPPERS ON YOUR SANDWICHES, IT DOES TASTE REFRESHING AND IT IS GOOD FOR YOUR VITAMIN C SUPPLY.

OUR RESIDENT COUNCIL MET ON JAN. 29th WITH GREAT SUCCESS, MANY OF OUR RESIDENTS PARTICIPATING. WE DISCUSSED THE GENERAL LAUNDRY PROCEDURES AND ASSURED OUR PATIENTS NOT TO WORRY FOR THEIR CLOTHING IF THEY DID NOT RETURN, ONLY AFTER TWO WEEKS PASSED.

I CALLED THE ATTENTION OF FAMILIES, FRIENDS AND RESIDENTS TO MAKE FREE USE OF THE MESSAGE BOX ON THE WALL ACROSS FROM THE FIRST FLOOR NURSES STATION. SUGGESTIONS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME BY THE MANAGEMENT OF EACH DEPARTMENT.

FURTHERMORE WE DISCUSSED THE AVAILABLE SUBSTITUTIONS FOR DISLIKED FOODS; COLD PLATTER WITH SANDWICH AND GREENS; BAKED FISH; LUNCHMEAT; COTTAGE CHEESE;

CHEESE SLICES; HARD BOILED EGGS; APPLESAUCE AND FRESH GREENS.

THE SUBSTITUTION LIST IS AVAILABLE ON BOTH DISPLAY BULLETIN BOARDS, ON THE FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR. WE DON'T HAVE MANY REQUESTS TO USE OUR SUBSTITUTIONS, CONSEQUENTLY WE FEEL THIS MEANS A COMPLIMENT TO OUR DIETARY SERVICES.

AT THE SAME TIME I WOULD LIKE TO

IT WAS SUGGESTED BY SEVERAL RESIDENTS THAT IN HONOR OF VALENTINES DAY WE SHOULD HAVE KISSING BOOTH. INDEED, WE DID JUST THAT. SEVERAL RESIDENTS VOLUNTEERED FOR THE JOB. THEY CHARGED A PENNY A KISS. IT WAS A GREAT AFTERNOON ENJOYED BY ALL. 1900 KISSES WERE GIVEN OUT THAT DAY AND THE PROCEEDS BENEFITED THE ACTIVITY DEPT.
