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. '
