All nursing homes must pass rigid specifications. The result is that there are only two approved homes in the county, one being the Mrs. Graydon Kraemer home here, and the other that of Mrs. Morse Feld-hausen, in Frankfort. Under state ruling "pay patients" may not be taken at county homes such as is located in -Marysville.

All openings must be reserved for those who do not have the money to pay, as well as those persons who are gradually being released from state institutions. New drugs and forms of treatment are helping many persons in state hospitals and they are able to go to their home county homes. Surveys show that homes are becoming smaller and there are no longer rooms in the homes where "grandma was kept by some member of the family," it is said.
