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.
Research is now under way
to find out how those fees
could be reduced, Mrs. Ran
kin said. New York has a plan
for free attendance. She also
reported four pilot studies
and action programs in Ore
gon are aimed at finding out
more about problems of the
older citizens. These are in
Clackamas, Linn, Lane. Doug
las and Jackson counties.
The executive committee of
the governor's council has
suggested that after the study
on needs is completed a meet
ing with a speaker from the
state council should be called.
Concerning the needs study,
the Portland office will pre
pare and mail questionnaires.
They will be returned to the
Medford group.
Low Cost Housing
Ron Rice of the Medford Ki
wanis club, told of the recent
low cost housing project
which the Victoria, B. C, Ki
wanis club sponsored. Pen
sioners with low income may
rent one of the apartments
for $35 a month, he said.
More information on this
project will be available later,
he added. Mrs. Harlan Bos-
worth said she feels some
effort should be made to save
the housing in the Federal
housing unit on Jackson st.
which is scheduled to be
razed this year.
James L. Pullman, adminis
trator for the Jackson County
Public Welfare commission,
said his organization is inter
ested because of the large
number of people on old age
assistance. Housing, recrea
tion, health, housekeeping
service are all areas expan
sion to meet the needs of old
er people, he said. A sponsor
ing agency to work out all de
tails would be needed to set
up a housekeeping service, it
was decided.
Mrs. Jack Lynch, Parent
Teacher association represen
tative, mentioned recreation
needs which brought up the
uestion of transportation of
people who would be unable
to attend events. The group
said this could probably be
worked out.
Education Program
Lindsay M. Vincel, head of
adult education for the Med
ford schools, discussed the
present adult education or
ganization in the community.
This has to be self-supporting
and requires a fee, he ex
plained. He said attempts are
now being made to get a
nurse's aid class going as a
means of better training for
women who need work.
Rosco Roberts, Grange rep
resentative, mentioned that
Granges are used as discus
sion and recreational outlets
for a number of older citizens
in rural districts.
A meeting will be held Feb.
20, at 3:30 p.m. in the Red
Cross building when ques
tionnaire material will be dis
cussed, Chairman Glenn Klein
said.
Water from the Amazon
river freshens the Atlantic
ocean as far as 100 miles out

phic Magazine says. The Am
azon's discharge is greater
than that of the world's three

Tax Hike Forecast
Denied By Holmes
Salem (IP) Gov.-Robert
D. Holmes Friday denied
claims of Secretary of State
Mark Hatfield that taxes
would have to be hiked 60
million dollars to meet 1959
state budget requirements.
Instead, the governor pre
dicted that the state budget
could be balanced with only
a "modest" increase in taxes.
The Governor told a press
conference that Hatfield was
basing his estimate on the
highest possible budget for
the 1959-61 bienium.
Holmes defended the Dem
ocratic position taken during
the special legislative session
last year that the state should
not reduce taxes too much
but retain a "cushion" to pre
vent marked increases in tax-,
es in 1959.
