They won 14 in a row during the 1929-30 season. extra if required) SP 2-6264 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Sunday, April 5, 1959 13 Number of Senior Citizens Continues To Rise in Nation (Editor's note: The fol lowing article was written by Rita M. Holmes, Ore gon state director of Senior Citizens of America, to pro vide background material on the number of older citizens in the country, and the problems which are foreseen in the future. The article is in connection with Senior Citizens Month.) by RITA M. HOLMES Oregon State Director of Senior Citizens of America. The United States census bureau forecasts that the pro portion of older people in our population . will continue to increase for perhaps the next 50 years. In 1900 the ratio of those 65 years of age and over in the total population was only 1 in 25. Today it is about 1 in 11, and steadily increasing. There are now approximately 15 million people of this cate gory in the country, and thf ir number is growing at the rate of more than 1,100 per day. Many scientific investiga tors believe that nothing short of a national catastrophy can reverse this trend; that per haps by the year 2000 the life expectany will be 100 years and the normal life span of civilized man about 150 years. This promises a thrilling fu ture for the race, only if we can succeed in adding mean ing to the lengthening years. Rooted in Disease According to medical au thorities individuals rarely die of sheer old age but of factors rooted in some one of the diseases, all of which may he conquered by scien tific research and community cooperation. In view of the significant advance of med ical science over the past two decades, it is not surprising to note that there has been a 36 per cent increase in the senior citizens (65 and over) category of the population of this country since 1940, and that an additional 48 per cent increase may be expected by 1975. These factors present an urgent problem and opportu nity for the communities, state and the nation. The churches, especially regarded as the traditional guardians and promoters of the spiritual welfare of all people, should become increasingly aware of the issues in our population, if, as seems likely within the next 50 years, men may ex pect to live 60 or 70 years after the 65 year arbitrary retirement age. Man may be retired before he has lived less than one-half of his life, what shall he do with those extra years? Create More Problems Civilization has created more problems for the aged than it has solved. Now we in sure more life with less and less in it. How are we going to meet the challenge of find ing new ways of adding life to years? Tomorrow we shall be the aged for whom we plan today.
