Herzog has made public a report of the VA covering the campaign under way through federal agencies to deal with the prob lem of aging. Administrator Sumner G. Whittier announced establish ment of a VA committee "to make an extensive study of medical, social and economic j problems of aging veterans." j Solutions lie to a large ex ! tent in eliminating the con I cepts of rocking chair retire 1 ment and old folks homes, the announcement states. "A posi tive approach of integrating senior citizens in the commu nity life-not segregating them -is needed." The business of getting old has caught the attention of sociologists, psychologists and particularly the people who are getting old themselves. As one VA doctor noted, our present day civilization pro vides little place for "old folks." The result is that old folks are making a place for them selves. Whether it is better or worse than what is referred to as "civilization" may require a little further experiment along the lines that are now being projected.
