The primary purpose of the
meeting is to provide State Repre-
sentatives with an opportunity to
exchange ideas, relate experiences
and discuss future plans for Aging
Programs with the assistance of
professionals in the field of aging.
Every state in Region III now has
either a committee or a commits
sion on aging. The State Com
missions on Aging are actively
developing, expanding, and i'm
proving services to older persons.
Emphasis will be placed on the
development of specific projects
in Community Health Services,
day Nnters, nursing horaeS, foster
care, homemaking services, educa-
tional opportunities, and volunteer
Service Corps. Consideration will
be given to problems of living
arrangements, medical care, ade-
quate finances for day-to-day
living, and the satisfying occupa-
ton of time, which are the four
basic concerns Of the aging.
Preparation of the aging, as well
as the rest of the population, in
planning for the rapidly increasing
period of retirement will be dis
cussed. Plans for making time
meaningful and Of value to the
aging person as an individual will
be of major concern to those
attending.
Problems of the aging are receiv
ing growing recognition from the
entire nation. Recent Federal legis
1ation in the areas Of housing, Old
Age and Survivors Insurance,
Community H a 1t Services,
Amendments to the Halliburton
Act, and increased research on
aging provide more and extended
services for our aging population.
One purpose of the meeting is to
discuss the need for Federal and
State legislation and current plans
for new and expanding programs
IN aging.
Scientific research programs
now in progress, studying the
actual biological processes involv-
ed in aging, will receive major
attention. Significant gerontologi-
cal trends and developments, with
emphasis on the expanding role of
universities, will be discussed.

RICHMOND, Va. Feb. Is
(AP) A House committee to-
day scuttled a proposal to limit
the expansion of holding COM
panies in acquiring banks.
The House Insurance and
Banking Committee voted 1913
to junk the measure after hear
ing six top bank officials from
across the State criticize it.
Delegate Harrison Mann of
Arlington, led a futile attempt
to muster support for the bill,
introduced by Delegate James
M. Thomson of Alexandria.
Mr.. Mann made a motion to
report the bill but Delegate T.
C. Pitcher of Norfolk succeeded
in offering a substitute motion
to kill. Delegate George H. Hill
of Newport News seconded.
The death of the measure was
long forecast-a fact Mr..
Thomson noted in addressing
the committee.

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
How Much Is the Dollar Worth?
BY SYLVIA PORTER

How much is the dollar
worth today in terms of the
goods and services against what
it could buy yesterday? It's
worth only As cents if you COM
pare it with the dollar of 1889.
If you consider increases in
the consumer price index-the
yardStick we use to measure
increases in our cost of living
the dollar which would have
bought 100 cents of the goods
and services in a typical city in
1889 will buy only 46 cents of
similar goods and services in
1862.
But the dollar is worth So
cents if you compare it with
the money you wcle earning in
1858. It's worth 80 cents if you
compare it with the dollar you
were earning in 1913.
Obviously, the dollar has con-
tinued to lose buying power as
the prices of goods and serv-
ices have climbed but just as
obviously, the pace of loss has
been slower and slower. The
decline in its value comes to
only 4 cents since 1858, a drop
of a bit more than a penny per
dollar per year.
This loss hasn't hurt the
majority of workers. Most
workers have added much more
than a penny to each dollar
of earnings.

IbM Center

The Montgomery council to-
day approved industrial park
coming for an international
Business Machines campus-type
established on 1874 acres near
Gaithersburg.
The approval of IBM's re-
quest came a week after a pub
lie hearing at which Gathers
burg's mayor Merton Duvall,
assured council members of the
towns willingness to annex the
area in question to permit con-
struction of the IBM building,
anyway, if the coming applica-
ton were denied by the council.
Councilwoman Stella B. Wer-
ner said; II would have pro-
posed approval of this applica-
ton last week if it had not been
for the dare by the Mayor of
GaitherSburg. I hope it will
clearly be understood that we
are approving it in spite of any
such a dare"
The IBM installation is ex-
pected to be the first facility
built under the I-3 zone for
industrial parks, which was
enacted in November, 1859.
IBM planning experts made
a wo-and-a-half-year study of
the Metropolitan Area for an
appropriate site for the build
ing, which will house engineer

While 1889 is the popular
year for comparisons, there's
actually less reason to choose
it than 1929. For 1889 ended a
decade of depression and a fall
tering recovery and goods were
generally underpriced tn en-;
price increases since are bound
to appear exaggerated. In con-
trast, 1929 ended a decade of
prosperity and high living;
price increases since should be
a more reliable gauge of trends.
The fundamental fact to be
read here is that the pace of
decline in the dollars purchas-
ing power has been perceptibly
slowing. The dollar is more sta
BILE than it has been in a long
time.

the dollar today depends on
the year you choose with which
to compare its worth. For in
stance, if you compare 1925
dollar with that earned in 1920,
it's worth Ct cents-meaning
the annual loss over the AZ
year period works out to a
modest l per cent. If you COM
pare 1925 dollar with that
earned in 1899, though, it has
lost more than half its pur-
chasing power.
This point about comparison
years is fundamental. Let's
compare today's dollar with the
dollar in previous major base
years.
The base years selected are:
1913, because this marked the
introduction of the consumer
price index; 1920, because this
marked the peak of the post
World War I initiation; 1926
because this marked the mid
point in the decade of tinsel
prosperity, 1929, because this
marked the collapse of the
stock market: 1888, because this
marked the bottom of the great
depression; 1899, because this
marked the last year before
World War II; 1913, because
this marked the close of the
violent initiation of World Wal
II and the postwar period; 1885
and 1858. because these marked
the gradual change to a more
