Proper:, Planning Urged to Cut Discrimination Against Elderly (Fifth f tlx Articles rrsMssu of tt At) , AF Newsleatares State and local programs for the aged have a vital place, in aging America. What such pro grams can do is illustrated Dy the New York state plans for old people and by St Petersburg, Fla. which has long been a Mecca for old folks. " A New York state legislative committee has been fighting for three years against what it calls "discrimination against the old- Lsters." This joint legislative com mittee on the problems of the aeine is the only such agency in the United States. - It has introduced legislation designed to force the state to do more for the elderly. But, it in sists an equally big job must be done b-r local communities. Instead of tackling tne pro Diem solely from a financial angle, as many other states and the federal government have done. New York wants to knock down present so cial and economic barriers that drive the oldsters onto relief rolls and into institutions. Outline ef . the Plan The committee's "New York Plan" calls for: L Creation in the state health department of a division of adult hygiene and geriatrics, to. shift emphasis from combatting com municable diseases to fighting de generative ailments. 2. State financial aid for recre ation centers for the elderly. 3. A special counselling and placement service in the state employment service; to help older persons obtain jobs. 4. Providing funds to the adult education bureau of the state ed ucation department to establish state-wide education program for older persons. - State Senator Thomas C. Des mond; who heads the committee, has urged other measures to com bat what he terms "indictments Better Put Up-to-date Address On Mailbox, Postmaster Says Delayed 'Chute Set for Regatta At Devils Lake DeLAKE -(Special)- A delayed parachute jump will be a featur ed thrill at the Devils Lake re gatta here Saturday and Sunday.

Gragg Wednesday requested resi dents on city mounted delivery routes to get out their paint brush and bring their mailboxes up to date. , Gragg said a number of citizens served by car-borne carriers haven't scraped off their old route-and-box numbers and daubed on the house numbers that have been-assigned to them. He said this is a hardship on mailmen, especially substitute carriers who aren't as well versed with the routes as the regulars. Gragg said some of these resi dents haven't tacked a house number onto their dwelling eith er. This is also a postoffice re quirement The postmaster said it was particularly helpful in de livering special delivery mail. He cited cases where it had been impossible for lack of a house number. Gragg said some addresses had been changed several times in areas converted from rural to city routes during the past five years. But he said he felt conn dent that . no more corrections Would have to be made. :Jf It 4 SHUFFLEBOARD keeps oldsters In trim at St Fetersbarsv of society's handling of the elderly.- - ' 4 Desmond criticizes practices which bar older persons from pub lic housing projects? fail to pro vide for oldsters emotional se curity, such as the feeling of be ing wanted, being loved and be ing useful, and dump elderly per sons into mental hospitals and other institutions, often because "we don't know what to do with them." ' The "New York Plan" hinges on community efforts. The com mittee has recommended a perm anent home-town job-finding ser vice for older persons, a financial counselling service for the old sters by bankers, businessman and social workers, a cleanup and improvement of nursing and old age homes, and a community rec reation program for the elderly. Desmond's research staff is studying other angles. They include: 1. ; Pre-retirement counselling a system by which insurance companies and industries would prepare their older employes for retirement. 2, Safety-proof housing archi tects and engineers are designing new type living quarters to elim inate dangerous features such as slippery tile floors, hazardous bathtubs and stairs. 3. Determination of the impact of labor unions on oldsters be cause of labor's programs for job security, death benefits, burial funds and part-time work for re tired workers. . - ' Haven for the Axed In St Petersburg, Fla-, they take a different slant on old age than any other spot in the coun try. You aren't really considered old - there until you are around 90. There's little discrimination in jobs because of age. But the main thing St Peters burg has done Is to see to it that if you are up in years you have fun and it's your own fault if you get lonesome. Dances, checker and shuffle- board tournaments and even base ball games for men above 75 are just some of the ways the old sters keep from feeling their age too mucn. This haven for aee hasnt nass ed up many tricks for making things pleasant for the aged. When the elder citizens first started ar riving in St Petersburg years ago city officials saw to it that ramps were installed at street crossings. Now you also see ramps at churches and public buildings. Then the. trademark of the city . green benches began ap pearing. The heart of the busi-i ness district is lined with green Dencnes. Here, the visitors sit, talk, get acquainted. j Farklnr . Made Easy Auto parking spaces are extra ong and the city is makine them even longer novf so the oldsters can park their cars with ease. The municipality long ago turn ed over a large area on the water front along Tampa Bay for activi ties of the Sunshine Pleasure club. A municipal pter was erected and the place is lined daily during the winter with fishermen who can listen to the radio while they try to land one. To Evelyn Barton Rittenhouse goes much of the credit for mak ing things comfortable for the visitors in their declining years. sne has given time and money to create happiness.
