In 1900 Americas aged cent of the years and over made up but four That percentage is steadily ris.r.jr. Enunei.t .sociologists estimate it will be 13 per cent by 1980. In other words America will have about four times as many old people in 10 years from now as we had 40 years ago. Today we have 8,419,000 old age eligible, by 1915 the number will reach 9,732,000 and by 1980 we will be taking care of 22.071,000 people past 65 years of age. At the same time America is losing out on babies, according to the statisticians. At present we hae 11,031.000 American babies up to four j ears of age. By 1980 our babies will number only 9206.000, as compart'd to the 22,051,000 oldsters. What is bringing about such a shift in our population ages.

Whatever the future of such legislation may be, and certain it is that changes will take j'lace in both old age assistance and old age insurance programs hy the Feckral government we see hope for old age only as the government comes to their rescue. We have to recognize that we are living in a different world today than ever before.
