"The parade didn't hurt him

Claim Held Authentic
Mr.. williams first laid official
claim to service with the Con-
federate Gray when he applied
for a State Civil War pension
in 1892. Texas authorities in
vestigated his application and
determined that his claim to
service was authentic. They
granted him a pension.
At that time he would have
been in his late 80s, and few
variations between the facts he
gave then and his later stories
could be laid to his elderly

Jewish Family Service

With the approaching New
Year, it is appropriate to in
dicate how our Jewish Family
Agency served the commun-
ity by helping people with
crucial problems, in marriage,
child : rearing, conom C,
health, aging, and other en-
vironmental situations.

realization that the problems
of aging were ever pressing
and that, as with every other
age group, no one service can
solve all the problems.
There must be a ladder of
services to meet the needs of
our older people in Tucson.
In preparation for this
thinking a study was under
taken and some very interest
ing facts developed as a re-
suit of this study. The Jew
ish community can safely
count among its population
approximately 1000 persons
81 years and older. Of these
persons, our study indicated
45@o are between the ages of
62 to Ct; 1920 are in the ages
of 68 to 76 and 1870 in the
ages II and over.
1t was interesting to note
that of the 1870 in the older
age bracket, better than 1870
are men. However, of the
87% in the 62-76 age group
the ratio of women to men
is 1910. Also there are more
widows than WidoWers, $40
of all the women are widows
and 1870 of all the men
WidoWers. In finding out a.
bout the economics of our old
er people, 1919 had incomes of
less than $1,000.0O per year,
$50 reported incomes under
100000 and approximately
1870 have incomes of $5,000.00
or above.
Our study indicated that
the greatest majority of older
people wished to remain and
live in the community. How
ever, concern was expressed
in areas for services to help
them live in the community,
and also to care for them
when this is no longer pos
sible.
Activities of the committee
to follow up and to imple-
ment the report will be in the
areas of home-maker, foster
home care and institutional
care, transportation housing
recreation and medical care
and employment.
This year has also seen
the expansion of the Jewish
Family Agency through the
addition of a psychiatric con-
sultant and the hiring of a
full-time second caseWorker.
Mrs. Vera Burke, our second
caSeWorker, came to the
agency with experience in
working in homes for the
aged, medical problems of
the aged, and rehabilita-
ton and adjustment for
the aged. This is a step in
strengthening the Agencies
work with older people. We
feel that the community
should know that the agency
is financed from two sources:
The United Community Cam
paign, subsidies the agency
for salaries of professional
workers and administration.
The Combined Jewish Ap-
peal subsidies the agency for
its financial assistance pro-
gram, which includes finan-
cial aid to the economically
,ndigent, holiday projects,
new Americans and other pro-
blems relating to direct finan>
cial assistance.
