Growing older
Others can help remove curtain
By Harold Blumenfeld
Many of America’s older peo
ple live behind a curtain of fear.
The quality of life should be
maintained, and even im
proved, for them. But this can
not be done without guidance
and help from responsible
organizations and qualified in
dividuals. These men and
women can’t do it for
themselves.
Research shows the sagging
economy — call it a recession,
depression or excessive infla
tion — is the greatest
debilitating force affecting
older people who live on fixed
incomes. Perhaps nothing can
be done to improve the coun
try’s economy now, but
measures can be taken to keep
older people physically,
emotionally and socially fit for
a better life in their remaining
years.
Physician and hospital costs
are frightening and as a result
many elderly people postpone
medical attention Minor
ailments develop into major
physical problems. Clinics
should be set up for periodic
checkups, with a minimum fee
for some and free service for
High winds
hit Macon
MACON, Ga. (UPI) - High
winds blew down power poles
and trees at the Macon Airport
during a thunderstorm early
today, according to the Nation
al Weather Service.
“Two residents reported a
roaring noise just prior to the
onset of the wind,’’ said the
service.
Maximum wind at the airport
was 54 miles per hour, the
service said. The storm struck

Straight Talk from
Bob Scherer
President,
Georgia Power Company
Like many other businesses and
families in Georgia who are hurt by
inflation and recession, we at Georgia
Power have taken a hard look at re
ducing our expenses.
Some of these reductions have
been difficult. We had to cut a billion

others.
Even in many towering apart
ment houses and condominium
complexes, older residents live
in fear of suddenly becoming
sick and not being able to com
municate with anyone. They
may not know whom to call or
what to do. Reliance on possible
help from a neighbor isn’t
enough
Older people who have lost a
spouse and live alone, or many
who live as couples, face bleak
futures. Their move to new
homes in Florida, for example,
has removed them from con
tact with their children If un
able to take care of themselves,
despite the outside warm, sun
ny climate, they face a con
tinuing existence in the dreary
confines of a nursing home or a
home for the aging.
A decent income is a pre
requisite for well-being. Social
Security benefits, a main
source of income for the elder
ly, is wiped out by the soaring
prices of ordinary but
necessary staples. People who
could be productive for
themselves and their communi
ty cannot take jobs because the
additional income could cut

Georgia Power Co. reported
power poles down on the
southern boundary of the
Macon Airport, as well as some
tree damage, the service said.
High winds also struck the
eastern section of the city
around 1 a.m., causing minor
tree damage.
“Residents also reported a
roaring noise aloft,” said the
service.
down or wipe out their Social
Security benefits.
Good nutrition is a key to
good life. For those who cannot
provide for themselves, hot
meals should be made
available. But such programs
should not be established as
“soup kitchens. ’’ And a handout
of a free meal could offend the
recipients. It can be a
sociological benefit for some of
the aging to have com
panionship of others in their age
group, instead of eating a
meager and poorly-prepared
meal alone at home.
Most important, many older
persons are lonely, they
degenerate by doing nothing,
which speeds them along the
road to a hospital or nursing
home. They must become in
volved with others in their age
bracket and with community
life Being involved with useful
activities or even hobbies
becomes an ego-builder and the
lonely will not feel discarded.
The rewards of age should be

and a half dollars from our construction
budget. The toughest cost-cutting has
involved termination of 2600 jobs,
largely due to this forced slowdown in
construction of new generation
facilities.
To achieve significant savings in
operating expenses, budgets have
been cut across the board; certain ser
vices have been combined and others
eliminated.
I have asked all our managers to
look for still other ways to cut costs
while improving our ability to meet
the increasing electrical needs of exis
ting and future customers.
We are dedicated to taking a
positive look at Georgia’s future and
I hope you will join me with your coop
eration and understanding in this
commitment.
Write me if you have suggestions
on how we can better provide for your
electrical needs, both today and
tomorrow.

But how?
It isn't that no one is concern
ed with the plight of the aging.
Federal, state, county and
municipal governments hold
frequent conferences to debate
what should be done. But talk
ing and researching for the
future isn’t enough because
something has to be done now.
Municipalities, local civic
organizations, scholastic,
religious and ethnic groups
have set up small enclaves
where older persons gather.
This is all for the good, although
some of the recreation centers
and other meeting places offer
little more than an opportunity
to take up square dancing or
basket weaving.
Perhaps the best solution
would be establishment of com
munity centers for the aging
which could be focal points for
getting them involved, in addi
tion to providing physical and
nutritional facilities.
Maybe our government,
which now provides vast funds
for a study in depth of the
height of frisbees, should
finance such centers instead.
