Mrs. Aiden Greenan in- vlted the members to her home. An enjoyable program was put on by committee in charge. and lunch was served by the hostess. germ-killing drugs, penicillin and the sulfas. However, these dramatic results, which have meant so much to health and happiness, have brought about problems for everybody due to the fact that there are now so many men and women of 65 years and over. In an editorial in "Geriatrics", the medical journal devoted to the care and needs of the aging, we read that there are more than 13,- 000,000 persons in the United States past 65 years of age and there is the same proportion or percentage in Canada. This has brought about a whole new set of health problems. "Our aging pop- ulation reflects health progress and yet, paradoxically, inaniiests some of the greatest health needs." As we think of this vast group of the elderly we might think that large percentage was confined hospitals and nursing home, low so greatly crowded: yet tvr learn that 94 per cent, about 19 of every :30, still live in individual homes. The idea of many employers that the elderly should not be employ- cd is a serious matter as it causes unhappiness and much ill health. In 1900. 68 per cent of the met. over 65 years of age were gain- fuly employed; in 1950, only 42 per cent were either employed or seeking work. Fortunately. many employers are retaining many eld- erly employees because they find them experienced and careful in their work. When the elderly man and wo- man continue their employment, they remain an integral and im- portant factor in family life. When not gainfully employed and with a small income, "the aging face in- creasing exclusion from family and social life." To counteract ill health and.un- happiness among the elderly, im- proved nutrition, especially a suf- ficient supply of proteins lmeat, eggs, fish) and vitamins will con- tribute to their better health. i econd - .9-In t, inillulc.-f I .3 9...'9 Don't be! around with improved n-insures.
