National Committee on Aging.
The local committee to
present the application is
headed bv Mrs Chxtir
Guches, and includes Omar
uaeon, William Hoxie, Mrs.
Rankin and Frank Glonning.
The council milliner! the
greatest benefit to be secured
lor senior citizens by use of
the Brant would hp In pnnrlnrtt
a survey of the county to de
termine the need of low cost
housing for both able bodied
and those elderlv Dersons who
need nursing care. The sur
vey could also determine nth.
er health needs, which would
substantiate the helief nf the
council that recreation centers
help elderly persons to remain
ablebodied.
One of the determining fac
tors for receiving the grant,
council representatives said.
may be the increasing num
ber of retired persons in this
area. According to social se
curity records, there are now
6,476 persons receiving old
age and survivors insurance
or social security. This is a 20
per cent increase over last
year, according to council rep
resentatives, and is almost 10
per cent of the population.
The council's executive
board also has been discussing
the Senior Activity Center,
which was started in October,
1958, as a pilot program ex
periment. Continued use of
the Center has proved its pop
ularity, council members said.
The building is too small,
they said, to accomodate more
than 25 persons seated, and
less than that when they are
engaged in an activity such
as painting, carving, .dancing
or playing in an orchestra.
The council noted that 2,752
persons have used the Center
since it opened, with the num
ber using it each month in
creasing. A drive for a larger
center on the same location is
being considered, council
members noted.
