Senior Citizens
Anniversary
The fact that May, 1972, has
been designated as the tenth
consecutive anniversary of
Senior Citizens Month calls at-
tention to the fact that there are
now more than 20 million per-
■sons over 65 years of age
residing In the United States
and the 1970 census reflects
that approxlmatley one mil-
lion of these' reside Ip the
State of Texas.
A rellzatlon of the Impor-
tance of this segment of the
population resulted In the con-
ducting the Conferences on Ag-
ing both at the State and Na-
tional (White House) levels dur-
ing the past year. The Congress
of the United States has also
become aware of the needs of
the older citizens and has taken
steps to alleviate the suffering
of many retirees whose Income
has been s e r 1 ou si y depleted
through the great Increase In
the cost of living.
In addition, the senior citi-
zens themselves have seen the
.neclsslty for organizing In
order to make their needs
known on a national level. To
this end the American Associa-
tion of Retired Persons was
organized and now has a na-
tional membership of over three
million with over 800 chapters
or local branches In all [arts
of the United States. This
