Report of Pilot Studies on Aging Given at Meeting Fees for adult education classes are too high for the average retired citizen, Mrs. Enid Rankin, state chairman for Community Services for the Aging, told those attend ing a recent meeting of the local council on the aging.

Doug las and Jackson counties.
