is visiting with the Rev and Mrs Moore Facts' About Older People a -ByGaniita Jo Lovell'4 (Louisiana Extension Service) The 'recent years have seen public agencies giving-increasing attention to concern for the aging population People themselves have become increasingly concerned about their own old-age situation These trends are the result of deep-seated economic and sociological changes of the times Look at some of the facts about the aging situation today The average man and woman can expect to live longer than ever before into their or More people will -have longer periods of retirement We have about 18-500000 people age 65 or more in the United States today which Is 94 par cent of the total population Another 17000000 or about 9 per cent are age 55-64 This means nearly 18 per cent of the total population are 55 or over -The rural population contains even larger percentages of older people nearly 11 -per cent 65 or over and another 12 per cent 55 to 65 The Louisiana percentages of older people are somewhat less than those for the United States By1 1980 it is estimated that there will be 365000 people age 65 and over in 1 Louisiana compared to the 242000 today or a 51 per cent increase Soon our society will have not one but two generations of senior citizens We need to think of the older population in terms of subgroups Those 60 to 65: not quite retired or just beginning retirement are In different situations and conditions than those for example 70 to 80 and those over 80 or 85 Another important subgroup is those in the 55 to 64 bracket who need to be seriously thinking about preparing for their later years Health and economic security are the two greatest concerns of aging people The big question for everyone is: Will my health hold up so I have to cut into pensions and savings too much in order to pay for big medical and hospital bills? Of course the advent of Medicare supplied a big answer for millions of old people now and in the future worries can be lessened for many Some 50 to 60 per cent of the people over 65 have incomes of less than $1000 per year About half have assets of less than $1-000 not counting insurance- With longer life spans many people will live 20 years or more beyond retirement More will work beyond 65 Of course many- older people are not employable and the educational and skill levels of those that are employable are much lower 1 than for the labor force under 65 About 80 per cent of file 8 million citizens 65 and over today are fully retired from regular Committee Vote Set this Month The approaching election of ASC community committees- for farm program administration in Franklin Parish was annnimwH Wednesday by Kimble chairman of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Parish Committee He called particular attention to the fact that the community committee elections thin year are a little earlier than in "former years They are being held during September in all agricultural communities throughout the nation in order to increase the awareness of this important farm-program function on eligible voters Mr Kimball said The community committees assist the ASC parish committee in administering the price support acreage diversion agricultural conservation and other farm-action programs in the parish They are particularly responsible for keeping their neighbors informed about the programs The parish committee" supervises the ASCS parish office and is responsible

a-ware of important nutritional developments but usually he cannot distinguish between sound nutritional advice and nonsense Words such as vitamins minerals protein' polyunsaturated fat enriched and fortified are hurled at him daily He is constantly being told that if he wishes to enjoy good health he must supplement his diet This methods of promotion are so similar that the four chief selling points might well be called the four myths of nutrition: 1 That almost all diseases ere due to- improper diets To correct this chemical imbalance he is told he must have food supplements However very few diseases in the UJS are caused by dietary deficiencies Our food supply is unsurpassed in volume variety nutrition all of it in any supermarket 1 2-That soil depletion of minerals causes malnutrition and plants and animals lack nutrition But -the composition of the soil has little effect upon the composition of the plants grown on it Plants will not grow or reproduce unless certain soil elements are present The quality of the soil has an effect on the quantity but little on its nutritional quality 3- That commercial food processing destroys nutritive value White flour refined cereal canned food -pasteurized milk are said to be no good and food that has been stored and cooked is supposed to have lost its vitamins and nutritives But modern methods have been designed to produce foods of great value Fruit and vegetables are canned or frozen at the peak of their nutritional' value Flour bread milk margarine are all nutritionally improved Some raw fruit and vegetables are desirable in the diet but food is usually cooked because it is more palatable and more easily -digested 4 That most Americans suffer from deficiencies ones that have no observable symptoms Thus anything from falling hair to tired blood might be called a subclinical deficiency This is an appealing argument when a dietary supplement salesman says there are vitamin deficiencies that doctors cannot detect: What one should realize is that no person can go through life without feeling tired But it cannot be blamed on a subclinical deficiency or the phase of the moon If tired 1 feelings persist one should see a doctor (Special to The Sun) ELECT (Bud) SHAW SHERIFF 7 of Franklin Parish Your Solid-Choice i By the People for the People and Dedicated to the People ENGLANDER MATTRESSES BOX
