Opinions concerning the duty of children for the care of aged parents - and the duty of the parents to conform to what is planned for them -are in the process of reversal, Maud M. Wilson points out in her article. The reversal has widespread ramifications, she adds, for both old and young. Was Relatively Simple "In the old days, members of each generation felt it a duty to look after thoir old folks with the exception that they in turn would be cared for by their descendants," Miss Wilson said. "The problem of how the older person lived was rela tively simple,' she noted. "If he could, he stayed on in the family home with someone to keep it up and care for him. Or he might go to live with a married son or daughter, shar ing in the life and work of the household, assured of care when he needed it, but with little freedom to pursue his own interests." Today, family homes are smaller, fewer have extra rooms suitable for aging rela tives, and there is less house hold work for oldsters to dj making them less apt to feel needed, Miss Wilson stated. "This revolution is hard on the old folks who in their younger days took care of their aging parents in their own homes or who spent their surplus earnings maintaining separate homes for them with the expectation that they in turn would be cared for by their children," Miss Wilson wrote. "There are still count less three-generation families, WARDS MONT O O i CRY W A H O ( Soi Do Limited quantities! Savings for everybody: Mom, dad, boys, girls) Wonderful values to wear.

Maintaining Status "Basic to the recommenda tion tor a good life for the older person is that it should be possible for him to main tain his status as an indepen dent and useful person as long as life lasts," she insists in the article. Home needs and choices of retired persons must be con sidered, of course. In the light of finances, health, and by preferences for the use of leisure time. The majority of retirees will take It for granted that they will continue to live as they have done during their working years, the article said. To reduce the labor in-1 volved in operating a Home, they may see possibilities in remodeling and adding me chanical equipment for great er comfort and convenience nd in the use of more com mercial services such as laun- housccleaning, yard work, etc. Planned Housing Specially planned housing makes living easier, provides greater companionship for Ider people in many cases, and lets them remain inde pendent. Retirement homes and retirement villages, apart ments planned for older per sons, and progressive nursing homes are new concepts thai avo come about, Miss Wilson said. About 10 per cent of the mobile home" owners in the U.S. are retirees and trailer manufacturers expect this group to grow in size, she noted. In some areas, trailer parks have been made a part f the overall - community planning. Old age, like other phases of life, is marked by change, not only in physical condition but in outlook, ambitions, and desires. Miss Wilson pointed out. This certainty of change points up the desirability of readily changed living ar- a n g e mcnts, she stressed. There is need also for a period in which a contemplated liv ing arrangement can be tried out before the shift Is made permanent. Miss Wilson suggests that the home economics profes sion can help with design and arrangement of housing for older persons by research on how specific features are evaluated by representative old people of various cultural and income groups.

Chnmplln encour aged shoppers today to ease the problems in the down town area by using off street parking while shopping. Champlin explained that not only is continuous meter-feed ing illegal, but persons would not have to stop and return to their vehicles while shopping if they use off street parking. The chief cautioned drivers against parking in such im proper places as loading zones and near fire hydrants. He a,lso reminded drivers that al- ey parking is only permitted for actual loading and unload- ng purposes, and during such incidents the alley must not be blocked. He reminded drivers of commercial vehicles that they are required to pay meter fees. i vmmBiniiiiii Mr r Vu: s m ijfw Greatest ml Ml Just ay 'Charge it' at Wards.
