Mrs. Pearl Feldman brings a smile to the face of

tor of nursing at the Mount Vernon Nursing Center.

A 15-year-old bundle of
energy who works six days
a week because she enjoys
"doing for others" is bring-
times they need a shoulder
to cry on."
But lending a shoulder is
only one part of her job.
Calling every patient by first
name, she helps feed those
who "cannot do for them-
selves." Zealously she
watches the specialized mea-
sured diets of diabetics or
low-sodium dieters.
When a diet patient asks
for another slice of bread,
instead of answering "You
can't have it," Mrs. Feldman
goes out the kitchen and re-
turns with a smile, "We are
just out. Maybe tomorrow."
The nurses say the patients
accept this from Mrs. Feld-
man better than from a uni•
formed nurse representing
officialdom.
"No one else can feed five
patients at one time. It's
sort of unorthodox nursing,"
explained another nurse,
Doris Borok. "But Mrs. Feld-
man will tell a patient, "Now
he a good girl and eat your
dinner and I'll bring you a
present! Then they eat " The
patients call her "Mama"
transferring their later years'
dependence on their child-
hood mania.
Mrs. Feldman, who speaks
Polish, Jewish. German. Rus-
sian and "a little Turkish,"
brings many a smile to the
elderly. "When they are in
a crisis situat ion , even
though they speak English,
they revert to the language
their mother taught them,"
she said. Although some of
the Mount Vernon nurses
speak Yiddish, some do not.
Mrs. Feldman is always
available to translate.
To satisfy the patients'
caring for cheese blintzes
and onion rolls, she goes out
to the kitchen and makes
them. Pressed for her re-
cipes, she says. "No recipe
—I just make it."
"Music is a great thing
for old people • " continues
Mrs. Feldman. "I wish peo-
ple would volunteer a few
hours a week to come in and
play the piano or sing for
them." Songs from "Fiddler
on the Roof" can.be heard
wafing over the public ad-
dress system. "Music peps
Trotting through the day
room, Mrs. Feldman stops
to chat with two men in
wheelchairs. Eugene Jonas
and Mrs. Feldman reminisce
about a meeting in the East-
ern Market 37 years ago.
Mrs. Feldman and her hus-
band, who died in 1959, ran
a mama and papa fruit mar-
ket. Jonas owned a fruit mar-
ket too.
"We'd get there at 4 a.m.
The farmers would just he
taking the canvas off their
produce," she recalls.
Mrs. Feldman has some
advice on how to feel young-
er: "Never just sit in a
chair. Go to work as a vol-
unteer. Keep busy. 1141u don't
have time to think of your-
self. 'I have a backache or
my feet hurt or I have a
headache.' If you help oth-
ers, you don't need to go
to the doctor so often "
Although every possible
game is available, bingo re-
mains the great favorite.
Mrs. Feldman started play-
ing bingo as a volunteer 25
years ago in the Northwest
Child Rescue Lea:mg.., part
of the League of .14-wish
Women's Organizations.
When her son. Dr Jack
Feldman, became adminis-
trator at Mount Vernon, she
volunteered there and began
playing bingo with the pa-
tients.
"I go home at the end of
the day maybe tired—but
I've done a good deed. I feel
young, believe me,"
said
Mrs. Feldman as she hurried
off on an errand for a pa-
tient.
