The osu intension Service
is concerned not only wlh
helping nieet the needs of
senior citizens, often called
"the fast glowing minority,"
but also about the needs fac
ing those aUmt to retire.
"One of too lu sir problems
is Hut miny feo retirement
Is the end of living. They
retire from a Job rather than
to a new way of life. They
don't think of Hie time after
retirement as bonus years
when they are free to do what
they want," says Miss Merle
Scales, Oregon State Univer
sity extension assistant state
home economics leader and
project leader for programs
for older Americans.
The importance of pre-retirement
programs is under
scored by the fact tliat 9.9
per rent of Oregon's pop
ui.ilion tills between the ages
of 55 ami 6i.
Because of this, the OSU
KxtenSKMi Service las de
signed educational programs
for both the senior citizen
and for those about ready to
retire.
The pre-retirement pro
grams deal with alllludes to
ward a major change In life
styles. Educational efforts
lake the form of pre-retirement
workshop for couples
and programs conducted
through extension home eco
nomics study groups.
Subjects range from atti
tudes toward retirement to
"Facts ami Fallacies oil'
Aging." "An Older person

A series of bulletins and
leaflets are available through
county extension offices that
directly deal with problo ms of
concern to senior citizens.
Anting the publications are
"Homes for Senior Cit
izens. Check List,"
"Cooking for One," and
"Always Attractive In Your
Elderly Years."
In addition, many other putt
lications, such as "Choosing
a Mobile Home," and "At
titudes Toward Retirement,"
contain information dealing
with decisions facing many

about lo retire.
Dietary habits of senior cit

The 1972 Oregon GlrlsState

group of girls who will con
