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. 1-800-640-5503 207 Professional Way 426-4272 (Across from the hospital) ] in research, education and other programs to prevent birth defects and reduce infant mortality rates.

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.

"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. MCHN...HealthCare For Your Retirement Years.
