Loving and Learning: At the conference on Aging at the University of Michigan earlier this week the seniors and the children in Carol Tice's Pittsfield Elementary School art program did their thing completely undistracted by the hubbub around them. In photo at left, senior citizens Albert Thompsen, left, and GIlbert Pitts, far right, do woodworking with students Tim Zeigler, Greg Turner and Kevin Patterson. Below, student Bernice Reddie and senior citizen Bernadine Wimpee work with yarn in a little world of their own. Some 35 senior citizens came to Pittsfield School twice a week last year to work with the children. This year, says Mrs. Tice, the seniors can hardly wait to get started and the kids came to school the first day asking, "When are the seniors coming?"

From Patients to Patients Miss Eunice Wolf (left), a receptionist in Dr. V. W. Peterson's office, presents a lap robe knit by his patients to Mrs. Lovina Penny, a patient at the Washtenaw County Hospital. Miss Wolfe read an article in The News last winter which suggested that doctors' offices provide needles and yarn for patients who wished to work on lap robes. "Boys knit, and one man knit, along with the women and girls," Miss Wolf says. The finished product has 72 blocks. In addition to the robe in the photograph, 32 cotton lap robes, made by members of the Ruth Circle of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, were given to the hospital for use by its patients.
