' Advancing to other needs of older persons, council com mittees, on housing, health and employment have worked on long-range programs to obtain adequate low-cost housing for low-income seniors; to pro mote better health care and rehabilitation in nursing homes and other homes for the aged; to combat prejudice of employers toward hiring workers over 40 years of age; and to work against too early retirement. Continuous publicity and public education through co operation of the press, radio and television has been car ried on by the council to make the community conscious of the needs of older citizens, who total 10 per cent of Jack son county's population. The most extensive under taking was the Southern Ore gon District Conference on Aging in Medford in Novem ber, 1959. It was one of four sponsored by the Oregon State Council on Aging in preparation for the state con ference held in April, 1960, and the White House confer ence in January, 1961. The Rogue Valley council was the first In Oregon out side Portland to be organized under sponsorship of the State Commission on Aging. Glon ning urged continued efforts by the council to bring the needs of senior citizens be fore the community, and to bring increasing opportunities to senior citizens. He praised council mem bers and committee chairmen for the progress made in a "pioneer movement." He de scribed the council s purpose as "to study the problems and desires of our older citizens and to promote, sponsor or initiate action to meet the needs we find."
