Gentlemen:
I would certainly be remiss af
ter 120 days of this Legislative
| Session if I did not express ap-
' preciation to the people of your
j county for such excellent legisla
tive representation as we have
enjoyed with Senator Anthony
Yturri and Representative Robert
Smith.
The experience and ability of
these two have been of tremen
dous value to all the members of
the assembly. Their knowledge of
our natural resources and agri
culture is highly recognized. In
addition, both Senator Yturri and
Representative Smith have made
it a point to support legislation
leading to good financial manage
ment of our state.
You people can be proud, as are
their colleagues, of your two leg
islative representatives.
Cordially,
F. F. (Monte) Montgomery

(From the Nyswa High Bulldog)
Dear Rosa,
Yes, we will miss you.
Throughout the year you have given the students and
the faculty of Nyssa High School an idea of life in Chile.
You have given your time and talents to broaden our
knowledge of your country by living in one of our homes
and attending our school. For this experience you con
sented to leave your home, family and friends in Chile for
a complete school year.
You also donated much of your time to help make the
Chilean festival and other worthy causes a success. Pro
ceeds of the festival and other American Field Service
projects go toward sponsoring another foreign exchange
student.
We hope you have enjoyed your stay with us this year
and also that some day you will return, feeling that you
will be at home once again with us. May your feelings to
ward the United States be taken back to your home coun
try with you to share with others as you have transmitted
good will from your country.
Because most of us students have never traveled ex
tensively abroad, the life and customs of a South Ameri
can country seem very far off. However, your presence
in our school has brought the likeness of a far-off place
nearer.
We wish you luck in the future.

Youih Warned of Smoking Dangers
By Cancer Society Research Director
A plea for teenagers not to start smoking and repeated
statements of evidence that smoking cuts years and “pleasure"
from your life came this week from an Institute on Smoking
and Health at Oregon State university.
Young smokers (those who start in junior and senior high)
are the big losers, Dr. E. Cuvier Hammond, statistical research
director for t h t* American*

If the old are to enjoy a full, rich and satisfying life, the
young must be brought up to accept old age as part of their
lives and value it in themselves and others, speakers at a
Conference on Aging stressed at Oregon State university.

and respect. In the U. S., this is far from true and programs

The importance of helping older
The U. S. now has more than 16
million persons over 65. it was
noted. This is five times as many
as in 1900 and the number is ex
pected to double in the next 40
years, The number of persons
over 75 is increasing even more
rapidly. This number will triple
by the year 2000.
Dr. Lee was critical of those
who categorize old people as a
separate group and not as indi
viduals. The old are people, she
said, and we have to work hard
at not dealing with them as
though they are a "problem.”
Forced Retirement Criticized
Forced retirement came under
fire in discussion groups. People
are living longer, they’re in better
health and can work well past
65-70 and up. it was pointed out.
America can’t do without these
workers — many of them highly

that smoking is a mark of mascu

Donald Kent, Office of Aging,
U. S. Department of Health, Edu
cation and Welfare. Housing,
health and employment aids for
the aged are most needed, he said.
Two Generations of Aged
Children alone cannot be relied
upon to take care of all the aged
now because of the “emergence
of two generations of older peo
ple,” Kent stated. One out of ev
ery three persons past the age of
60 now has a parent living. In
the next decade, this figure will
grow to two out of three, he said.
The nation has a “four genera
tion family pattern" now instead
of the traditional three. Kent con
tinued.
The U. S leader believes the
nation is moving from the stage
of “concern" into a stage of "ac
tion and development of goals
and suitable programs for older
persons.”
“We recognize that dependecy
does arise and we must provide
care with affection, dignity and
respect This must be provided
not because of who the person is
or what he has done, but because
he is a fellow human being." Kent
concluded.
More Known About Aging
There is much we do not know
about aging, but we know much j
more about it than we are now
practicing in America, it was
noted in discussion.
Library services, for example,
could be improved for older per
sons. A corner for tired eyes could |
