was earmarked for the construc.
ton of the Hartford Steam Esec-
trio Plant in the State of Wash

a part of the Federally owned
power producing facilities and
would have been connected I'D
with the Bonneville Power Au-
thority.
II was interesting to follow the
debate, for it crossed party lines,
not only as far as the Southern
Democrats were concerned. but
for the first time in this 87th Con.
gress it teamed up Northern
Democrats, Southern Democrats
and some Republicans. 1t was
also interesting to note that some
Republicans voted against the
amendment which deleted this
project from the bill.
II will be interesting now to
watch how some of the writer's
for the news media try to define
for the public the conglomoration
of people and their politics in
describing how this vote was ac-
complished.

of the bill or on the amendment,

was rushed to the local hospital
where seven stitches were taken
in the wound. The chest injury
wasn't serious. Released the fol

LIFE BEGINS
AT F(Q|Y
BY Robert Peterson


AS you walk the streets of
Los Angeles you see lot Of
gray heads and bent figures.
California has always been a
magnet for the retired, and
many of those who wend. their
way westward wind up in this
city or its environs.
Many observers believe that
the plan which has evolved in
this city for dealing with its
rising elder citizenry will even
tually win acceptance in cities
everywhere.
I'VE don't believe a com
munitY this size should attempt
to conduct activities for eld-
ers." says capable. husky Ar
thur TYron. head of Senior
Citizen Affairs for the county
of Los Angeles. Our county
has half a million folks past
SIS and the job would be TOO
big.
Instead of conducting things
for them, we spark activities
by prodding existing organiza7,
tionS into taking keener in
terest in the aged. Our office
is an information and coordi-
mating center. --~-.4
1--WE try to keep abreast of
everything going on for sem
iors here. Any older person
can come to US. and we'll di-
rect him to an agency or group
which can help him with his
problems.
I'VE have a board Of direc-
tors composed of outstanding
community leaders which
meets regularly and discusses
needs of older people. Then
we pass ideas and, suggestions
on to appropriate. local groups
such as religious, fraternal
and social organizations -
which we feel can best imple-
rnent these needs.
Our geriatric philosophy is
quite a bit different from that
In many areas. We aren't en-
thusiastic about social and rec
reational programs. They have
their place. but we think it's
much more important to help
older people continue useful.
Independent patterns of living.
81 think it's a crime to see
masses of elders spending their
days playing cards or shuttle
board. / simply cannot believe
that they find light recreation
a satisfying substitute for the
useful lives they formerly led.
"We've found you can get
local groups to do a lot if you
just ask them. We created an
"A dopt a Grandparent' pro-.
gram and have some $500 teen
ayers signed up to make half
hour calls once a week on eld-
ers in nursing homes whose
names we supply.
"We find churches and civic
groups are often glad to estab-
lish day centers and craft
classes. And we've found that
after bit of coaxing many
hospitals and nursing homes
are now recruiting and train
ing healthy older people to do
volunteer tasks.
Were particularly happy
about the way the state en-
ploYment office has tackled the
problem of finding jobs for
Older people. That office now
provides our county with some
so counselors who specialize IN
placing folks. past So"
Communities which haven't
yet established a coordinated
senior citizen program would
