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

has urged other measures to com
bat what he terms "indictments

Salem Postmaster Albert C.
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

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.
