There were forty- eight new admissions during 1974, twenty-four to Birchwood Terrace and twenty-four to Pine- wood Court. , The average age of Residents in the Homes as of December 31st is seventy-eight years. One of the oddities of the area is that there are more males over the age of six- ty than females.
