by the management-any such ac-
tivity as may be developed is in
itiated completely by the residents
themselves. There is a roof gar
den overlooking Tompkins Square,
a laundry in the basement and a
slowed-down, self-service elevator
Library, church. transportation
and shopping facilities are easily
accessible.
The rent is $50 a month for one
room, $50 for two. including util-
tiles. Miss Randall estimates that
a Tompkins Square House resident
can live on $75 a month.
"This arrangement" she ex-
planned. ''gives older people max
imum of independence with a
minimum of supervision. It's
great advantages. of course, are
its elimination of the fear of iso-
lation in time of illness or acci-
dent. and the assistance it gives
in the right places, that enables
elderly residents to live normal
lives.
Were the Tompkins Square
House to be built again today
Miss Randall would suggest two
changes. She would have all
quarters equipped with private
kitchen and bath-an impossible
ity under the building laws years
ago. And she would make it pos
sible for two-room apartments to
be converted into one-room affairs
upon the death of one person.
Some people prefer to move
away from all reminders of the
mate who has died, she explained.
But for others. being able to con-
tinue to live in the same spot
provides a cherished link with the
past.
Particularly important is the
fact that the Tompkins Square
House idea is adaptable to all IN
come groups, Miss Randall be-
'iieVes. Although it Is not operat-
ed for profit, such a plan could
be so operated and still be with

needs Of older people are COM
mon ones, regardless Of income.
From middle aged professional
women has come a request for
some kind of housing In their
middle years that will serve them
also during their later ones, Miss
Randall pointed out. The pro-
fessional women Of Rochester, N.
Y, polled concerning their hous-
ing needs by the Business. and
Professional Women's Club there,
revealed that many Of their pres
|ent needs parallel those that
would exist in later life. Among
these were two-room apartments,
conveniently located, that rented
reasonably.
Another housing idea, cottage
colonies" for the aged, work salts
factorily in q locale where the
climate is good. Miss Randall be-
lieves. but is less effective if the
climate is bad. These colonies
usually on the outskirts of a city
also cut the aged of from easy
access to the city'S facilities. she
feels.
Modern building offers a won
derful opportunity for housing
several generations peacefully
Miss Randall feels. It's f1exibility
makes it possible for the various
family members to find the
privacy they desire. The popular
one-floor home is also ideal for
older people.
You can't generalize about the
happiness Of the aged. Miss RAN
dali has learned. Older people
differ from each other even more
than younger ones, she believes
life's experiences make different
persons of us all, and older people
have had more experiences. Some
older folks can live successfully
with their children. Others are
