In a natioti striving for meuicai
scicntific advancement, it is a
stJ'itnge twist of f 'te ttiat in sorti '
respects we have faiictttokeep
pace witt) the progress already
made.
For e.xrmpe, we have greatiy
increased man's life expectancy,
yet thousands ol our needy elderly
jx'ople spend those added years ot
lif - iti hunn'-r, sickness and priva-
tion.
"It is for society ttot only to
adtl years to iife, hut more
i]n[xtt't;mtto:t<ldlifc<othe
years."
Texa.ts recoy)'/ed th'jt some
2U0,G.<f)n'!ii.n' cit ' tis need ttelp.
More than t year ago, wea[i-
proved a tnedic I cate ameod-
tnent gi\itig the egisl. tute c< i-
stitutional authority to match fe<l-
eral medical aid funds.
Despite this voter mandate, the
legislature has not yet acte<[ and
has thereby denied our aged over
yi9,«tMt.t)0()of federal funds this
earned as useful citizens.
1 liere has been talk of n special
session of the legislature in Jan-
uaty to raise teacher pay in Tex-
as. I fa\or higher teacher pay. but
I believe it is also important that
we move quick y to secure medical
care futids for our needy aged. The
federal funds are waiting tor tile
taking. To ignore it would be a
grave injustice to the aged of Tex-
as, and it would simply divert
these funds to the tteedy in other
states. 1

DAD'S favorite girl has just
the right Christmas gift for
him this year—a fashionable
tietac. Set in this 14 carat
white Koldtac is a sparkling
Linde Star in cither the pigeon-
blood red of the finest rubies,
or the lustrous cornflower blue
of the best Oriental sapphires. Stars, and all colored stones,
are in high fashion this year. Even pop's ring sports one.
Since they reflect light from deep within the stone, stars move
every time the wearer does.

The res[xmsil)ility for providing
a better life for our senior citizens
[rests with a 1 of us.
Our goals for our growing
number of aged people must be
decent food, comfortable shelter,
adequate clothing, proper medical
care and a dignified place in so-
ciety.
No greater challenge faces us to-
day than in learning how to cash
in fully on the preritms new years
of iving that modern medical
scicncehnswtmforus.
