"Winter Itch"?
For some people, dry skin is a
problem year round, but for many,
this annoying condition becomes
more evident each year in the win-
ter months. Cool outdoor tempera-
tures, dry air, exposure to wind and
unhumidified indoor heating all con-
tribute to dry skin. Loss of moisture
from the skin, not loss of oil, is the
cause of "winter itch." Dry skin is
more common in the elderly due to
skin changes which occur with ag-
ing. Pain, itching, and inflammation
can occur when the skin is dry, and
bacterial infections are possible if
the skin becomes cracked. Hydro-
cortisone cream or ointment may
help to relieve inflammation. The
Handbook of Nonprescription Drugs
offers these helpful recommenda-
tions:
• Bathe in warm rather than hot
water.
• Replace full-body bathing with
sponge baths or quick showers.
• Apply a moisturizer immedi-
ately after a bath or shower (and
each time you wash your hands) to
"seal in" moisture.

The WalkAmerica route will be
the same as last year's, out Rail-
road Avenue and through Shelton
Valley. And there will again be an
emphasis on increased safety,
with reserve police officers sta-
tioned at some points along the
route.
There's a new twist this year: a
2.1-mile mini-walk through down-
town Shelton for those who aren't
quite up to the 10-mile jaunt.

Vivian Banks, who has worked in
the linens and laundry area at Mason
General Hospital since 1975, has been
named MGH Employee of the Month
for February. "It takes a special per-
son to do the same job for 24 years
and still be dependable, upbeat and
cheerful," commented a spokesperson
for the hospital.
Banks says she enjoys her job
"because of the people I work with."
"She is a valuable employee as she
works hard every day to keep the hos-
pital in clean linens," said her nomi-
nator. Bedsheets, patient gowns, blan-
kets, medical scrubs and kitchen
linens all fall within her area and are
always clean and ready, her super-
visor said. "She is also a joy to work
Vivian Banks
with, as she always makes us laugh, and she feels deeply and
cares about the people here," her nominator added.
"We are a lot busier than we were 24 years ago," Banks ob-
served. "We are doing a lot more surgeries, have more babies be-
ing born and more emergency-room visits -just a lot more
patients."
Banks and her husband, Grady, moved to Shelton from Con-
crete in 1968 when he went to work for Simpson Timber Compa-
ny. They raised their four children in Shelton and now have sev-
en grandchildren, aged 3 to 13 years old.
