of Increasing Number
People Discussed
She was accompanied at
Monday's luncheon by Frank
Glonning, chairman of the
Rogue Valley Council on
Aging.
The reason that so many
persons over the age of 85 are
alive today is that the life ex
pectancy has increased con
siderably, she explained.
Life expectancy, In turn,
has increased because of im
provements in sanitary, em
ployment, health and living
conditions.
In addition, she said, the
65 and over age group is in
creasing iVt times faster than
any other age group. Some
8.7 per cent of the total U.S.
populaton is over 65.
Oregon is above the nation
al average, she said, with 9.4
per cent of its population
above the age of 65.
In recognition of the prob
lems generated by the in
crease in senior citizens, the
state legislature in 1958 cre
ated the State Council on
Aging, according to Miss
Johnson.
The council was to have the
duties of investigating prob
lems of the aging; assisting
public and private agencies
that are concerned with prob
lems of the aging, submit a
report on its progress to the
governor every two years; and
recommend legislation.
Since its establishment, the
council has grown to 34 ap
pointed employees, working
throughout the state with
headquarters on the Univer
sity of Oregon campus.
Miss Johnson seemed to be
pleased with the progress that
Oregon has made in the field
of aging, although she was
by no means complacent.
"Oregon has taken a step
in the right direction," she
said, in its law prohibiting dis
crimination in employment on
the basis of age.
The council on aging, she
said, had originally recom
mended that this discrimina
tion be prohibited In public
employment. But, "the legisla
ture went one step farther,"
she said, by prohibiting age
discrimination among all em-

body which, police said, ask
ed that he be burled in his
family's plot near Grants
Pass,
No reason was given for
the shooting although his doc
tor pointed out that Mr. Gent
ner was being treated for can

ployers, public and private of
more than six persons.
Miss Johnson said the coun
cil had recommended public
bodies only, because they felt
the "state should get its own
house In order first." She
added that the discrimination
law seems to be "working
quite well."
She also noted that Oregon
has gained national recogni
tion of its progress in this
field, and has been cited as
being one of the few states
whose aging program is "non
political and practical."
There have, been four dis
trict conferences dealing with
the problems of aging in Ore
gon, she said, one of these In
Medford, and one state-wide
conference.
All these are preparatory
to a national White House
conference on aging in Janu
ary, 1961, she said.
Miss Johnson hit out at the
65 years retirement age, say
ing it probably would be
changed. Persons age differ
ently, she said, and some are
able to work for many years
after they turn 65.
She added that the 65 years
retirement age apparently
started more than 100 years
ago in Germany. That coun
try was then adopting a
workers compensation law,
she said, and chose the age of
65, because "they didn't think
anyone would live that long
and It wouldn't cost them a
cent."
If persons are refused em
ployment In their elder years
the burden on the 20 to 45
age group will be consider
able, Miss Johnson pointed
out. This age group is already
supporting the younger age
group and to have to support
the older one too, would mean
a heavy tax burden.
It has been predicted that
by the year 2,000 life expec
tancy will be 100. If persons
still have to retire at the age
of 65, she said, how can they
possibly save enough to sup
port themselves for that
length of time?
Miss Johnson touched brief
ly on several of the problems
that face senior citizens, in
cluding housing and the need
for public education on the
problems of aging.
She had praise for Med
ford's Senior Activity center,
601 East Jackson St., and said
many other Oregon communi
ties are following Medford's
lead in providing recreational
activities for their senior citi
zens. Regarding the value of ac
tivity centers in providing sen
ior citizens with something to
do and the benefits to be de
rived thereby, she cited the
experience of a 400-member.
senior activity center in New
York.
A survey was made of the
400 members of this center,
she said, and it was found that
doctor bills among these peo
ple declined by 70 per cent.
This shows, she said, "that a
lonely person goes to the doc
tor for entertainment."
The efforts of the council
on aging are not directed to
helping communities find
things for their senior citizens
to do, she said, but to have
them develop programs which
will help senior citizens find
their own things to do, or, as
Miss Johnson put it, develop

livery from Broadway, Now
York City, to Montgomery
Street, San Francisco, to 13
days. If the telegraph at Car
son City, Nev., were used the
time for a letter to get across
the nation was cut to nine
days.
Started by the stage coach
and freight firm of Russell,
Majors, and Waddell, the pony
express lost nearly a million
dollars in less than a year.
Then Wells. Fargo and Co.
took over. It cut the mall de
livery cost to $4 an ounce,
using Its own stamps and
franked envelopes.
soon, however, the tele
graph closed the gap and the
f ony express died with slow
mail going back to the stage
coaches. Later the railroads
took over.
But the romance of those
days lingers on with the
names of such men as Cant. 1
Joseph blade, a tough charact
er who once brought down
four cattle rustlers with four
bullets; Wild Bill Hickok,
noted for his part In a big
shooting on the Nebraska
praisie; Wyatt Earp and his
brothers in a blazing fight in
Tombstone, Ariz.; and Buffalo
Bill Cody, reputed a pony ex
press rider.
Firm Still Operates
Wells, Fargo and Co. lives
on and today does exactly the
same thing it did 100 years
ago-transporting gold, money
and all sorts of valuables.
But the only resemblance
of its transportation job is the
inclusion of pistols and shot
guns in the equipment.
Wells-Fareo's stage coaches
have given way to armored
trucks which are familiar
sights in the New York fi
nancial district. These are
painted bright red. The ones
used in the south are a cooler
tone-gray.
In addition to operating In
New York, Wells-Fargo main
tains armored truck business
in Georgia, Virginia, West Vir
ginia, Mississippi, Louisana,
Arkansas, Tennessee, New
Jersey, and in England. It
plans further gradual expan
sion in Europe.
Wells-Fargo is two-thirds
owned by American Express
company. Howard L. Clark is
president of each company.
nark lauded the Fony Ex
press rider who, he said, made
a lasting contribution to the
opening of the West.
He saw today's operations
of Wells-Fargo as less spec
tacular but equally vital to
the pioneers in this field
He recalled one of Wells
Fargo's bit jobs - moving $5
uiion worm oi valuables for
united States Trust Co. That
job took only a few hours In
execution after months of
planning.
