FRE WITH COMPUTER PURCHASE By BOB FELDMAN There is a bona fide bargain in town this weekend and it's available to everyone, thousands of books, records and magazines are being offered at rock-bottom prices during the "Friends of the Ann Arbor Public Library" book sale-. "Who knows what kind of rare treasures can be found?" mused Gene Wilson, director of the library. Last night a crowd of over 100 people waited in line until the sale began to take ad- vantage of the special opportunity. THE SALE is being held today, tomorrow, and Monday at the library's main branch at thecorner of Fourth and William.I "I grew up here and I came (to the sale)gevery year," explained Jan Carelli, who now lives in New York but is in Ann Arbor for a visit. Mike Rothman, a student, came to the sale last year and was back again yesterday to look for some non-fiction books. "I thought it was worthwhile, good prices and good books," Rothman said. Books available ranged from tex- tbooksntochildren's stories to Nixon's The Final Days. Prices averaged around a dollar for hardcover books, 75 cents for magazines, and 50 cents for records, games, and paperbacks. Although some of the more valuable finds were sold last night, material that was not offered for sale yesterday will be offered today and tomorrow. And on Monday, the already low prices will be cut even further. Al proceeds of the sale go to "Frien- ds of the Ann Arbor Public Library," an organization that provides various services on behalf of the institution. Most of the money the group raises comes from these twice-a-year book sales. All materials were donated by the general public, and further gifts may be made at any time, library of- ficials said. * Learn math " Learn computer language * Build vocabularies * Make financial calculations * Learn to 14 PROGRAM TAPES draw * Learn music skills *Manage and organize infor WORTH $294 mation 0 Remember things 9 Have a family message TO GET YOU center I Keep records * Have fun with TV skill games.o ' STARTED!

"A hospice program is designed to aid the terminally ill. It may focus on home care or in a free standing building or both," said Dr. Dayton Benjamin, Director of the Washtenaw County Council on the Aging. Dayton organized a conference last Thursday in Ann Arbor to discuss the formation of a hospice program in the county. More than 40 different agencies and organizations. in the area attended the conference. . DR. ROBERT Thompson of St. Joseph's Hospital and the United Way of Washtenaw County have formed a 50- person committee to investigate the possibility of a hospice program in the county., The United Way of Washtenaw County has allotted $6,000 to look into a hospice program in the area. Only one employee of the hospice project, Nancy Kehoe, is paid for her work. All others are volunteering on a part-time basis. "We are in the process of conducting a county-wide study to enable us to make some plans and recommendations for a hospice program," said Nancy Kehoe, hospice planning assistant. "Given the -resources of the community and we will be able to see what kind of hospice program will best fit the county's needs." MANY COUNTY officials say the biggest obstacle and restriction may be lack of funds for a hospice program. "Our present health care reimbursement policies only consider the cure and treatment process," Kehoe said. "Medicare, Medicaid and Blue Cross/Blue Shield do not deal with death insurance. But if hospices display a good track record, health care payments might change to support death facilities." The hospice committee is divided into three groups 4 one looking at the organization of a hospice program, another assessing the needs and resources of the community, and a third studying the financial aspects. By next spring, after the three branches' findings are evaluated, an operational hospice program will be recommended. Thompson plans to report this program to the community in hope of support. HOSPICE DEALS with the physical, social, psychological and spiritual needs of the terminally ill and their families. A team of doctors, nurses, social workers, psychiatrists, clergymen and therapists combine efforts to handle each terminally ill patient. The program operates 24 hours, seven days a week. "The concept of hospice is based in the Hebrew-Christian tradition urging man to live life to its fullest from day one until he dies," Benjamin said. "Hospice helps a person cope with the idea that they are going to die. There are trained people to answer questions and help the patient live his life to the end." While hospices have become popular in the U.S. in the last ten years, the idea is not new. Hospices in Europe began in the 17th century and flourish today. "THERE ARE many new hospices in. the U.S. and Canada and more are beginning to develop," said Inge Corless,'assistant professor of nursing at the University. yEASY TERMS INSTANT CREDIT EFREE SERVICE DELIVERY IN OUR SERVICE AREA -M INSTANT CREDIT \EASY TER MS EAY ERS3550 WASHTENAW 'ACROSS FROM ARBORLAND SERVING ANN ARBOR and YPSIlANTI/AREAS APPLIANCE CO PHONE 971-3345 OPEN DAILY 10 TO 9 .
