striatic Changes in Living
For Elderly Seen by Economist'
Corvallis - Rapid and dra
matic changes have taken
place in "ways of living for
the elderly" in recent decades
and still more are ahead as
the number of older persons
increases in the U.S., a re
tired Oregon Slate college
home economist points out in
the November Journal of
Home Economics.
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,

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. Miss Wll
son was formerly in charge
of home economics research
at OSC before her retirement.
and is author of numerous
publications on house hold

Fips on Parking
Given by Police
Christmas season means
more shoppers in downtown
Medford.
Medford Chief of Police
Charles P. 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.
