Senior Citizens In 'Sharing'
Many men and women over
65 have a wealth of experience
and talent to share with th eir
communities and public service
agencies, announces the C u rry
County Extension Office. O lder
people also have an important
additional asset— tim e.
W hile most of the “ mutual
support” activities of the town,
the church, hospital, school,
civic and youth clubs are c a r­
ried as an overload to already
heavy schedules of young and
middle-aged employed people,
retirees may be looking fo r an
opportunity to use th eir tim e
constructively, s t a t e s Jim
Ross, extension agent. “ May
was Senior Citizens month so
le t’s count senior citizens In ,”
challenges Ross.
Providing senior citizens
with worthwhile parts to play
serves a double purpose, ac­
cording to W ilm a C . H tln z e l-

State U n iversity. It promotes
community p r o g r a m s , and
keeps the older people In the
mainstream of life .
Oregon has a deep pool from
which to draw, If the number of
older citizens Is looked upon
as a resource. According to
1960 figures, only 13 of the 50
states have a higher percent­
age of people over 65, said
M rs . Hetnzelman.
Projections fo r 1970 show
Oregon moving up to ninth
place among the states, when 11
of each 100 Oregonians w i l l
have reached that age.
“ T h e re ’ s no end to the needs
that can be filled by older p er­
sons, with th eir service lim ited
only by th eir ab ility,” she said.
