HARRISBURG Beatrice Day,
a resident of Sena-Kean Manor in
Smithport, has been recognized by
the National and Pennsylvania
State Grange for a distinguished
accomplishment in her life 85
years as a Grange member.
National Master Edward An
derson congratulated Miss Day on
becoming an 85-year member of
the Grange. “It is my pleasure to
extend to you recognition and a
‘thank you’ for 85 years of
dedication, time and talent in the
faithful service of our Order,” he
wrote.
Miss Day, who turned 99 Dec. 16,
joined the Grange in 1901 at the age
of 13. The teenager and her family
began when the Valley Grange
first was organized. Since then, her
home grange has merged with
Norwich Grange.
Diet
Therapy
For Arthritis
Diet therapy for ar
thritics has been con
sidered fringe medicine,
but recently, clinical
test results have begun
to appear in the
scientific literature,
indicating a new in
terest in this area.
According to
Maryetta Dorricott,
Delaware County
Cooperative Extension
home economist, the
general concensus is
that dietary factors do
not cause rheumatoid
arthritis, but they may
play a role in promoting
or relieving the symp
toms once the disease is
established. This may
be important news to
the nation’s six to eight
million Americans who
have arthritis.
In a recent study
reported in The Lancet
patients were placed on
an elimination diet
made up of only those
foods unlikely to cause
an allergic reaction.
Possibly allergy-causi
ng foods were rein
troduced one at a time.
Foods that produced an
allergic reaction then
were eliminated from
the person’s diet.
The findings showed
those given dietary
treatment improved
significantly while those
receiving a placebo
treatment did not. No
specific dietary com
ponent was reported to
have a consistent effect.
Patients apparently
responded individually
to a variety of dietary
changes. Why the dif
ferent responses?
Possibilities include
actual reduction of food
intolerances, changes in
food absorption in the
intestine, weight
reduction and changes
in prostaglandin syn
thesis.
Although more
research needs to be
done, rheumatoid ar
thritis patients may
wish to seek the help of a
reputable physician or
dietician to test the
effects of dietary
manipulation on their
symptoms.
Smithport Resident Honored For 85 Veers Of Orange
Miss Day was the secretary for
her grange for 50 years. She
recalled her fondest memory of the
Grange. “I received the 7th Degree
at the national convention in Ohio.
That was a fine memory.”
However, Miss Day could not
recall the year in which she
received the Degree. (The 7th
Degree is the highest level of
membership a Granger can
reach.)
Granger Day regreted not being
able to continue her active in
volvement with the Grange.
However, she continues to read the
Advocate, the Pennsylvania State
Grange newsletter, and keep
abreast of the Grange activities.
“I have to depend on others to
take me to the meetings. On Nov. 1,
I went to a meeting,” said the long
time Granger.
That she did. Ruth S. Carlson,
Pomona Grange lecturer in Kane,
spoke highly of Miss Day. “She
was remarkable,” said Mrs.

Carlson. “In fact, at the meeting
when they announced who she was
and her list of involvements they
made a mistake. A mistake
Beatrice quickly corrected! ”
The Granger recalled the fond
times she spent with her family at
the Grange. “We met in homes and
other local granges before we
owned our grange hall. We would
go to the Grange to have fun.
“There were dances. The young
folks played games and square
danced.” She named games such
as the needle’s eye and drop the
handerchief. “There was no spin
the bottle,” she laughed.
In her spare time, the 99-year-old
enjoys reading. “I read a lot,
books, papers, anything.”
Upon receiving the letter from
Master Andersen, Mrs. Carlson
presented Miss Day with a flower.
The State Grange presented her
with a pin thanking her for the
many years of service.
