Yellowstone... cold but fun By Boyd Nelson "It is a land of enchantment en-chantment - a real fairyland. One must see Yellowstone Park in winter to understand what is meant by "winter wonderland," was a comment made by senior citizens upon returning from a tour of the park." "I wouldn't have missed this for anything," exclaimed George Johnson, "It was even prettier than last year." "I knew what to look for" said Juanita Mellor. "Put me down for a return trip next year," was heard from many in the group. it didn't seem colder than at home. Of course we dressed warmer than usual with thermal un-derwar, un-derwar, mittens, stocking caps and heavy jackets and coats. The animal life in the park probably stimulated the ,. .most excitment.

In an interview in a leading magazine, Dr. Gabe Mirkin said studies show that people who continue to exercise later into adult life, live longer and are less likely to die from heart attacks. This is contrary to what people were taught years ago, Mirkin said. But it's not how much exercise you get when young that leads to health in adulthood; its how much exercise you get when you are older that's important, im-portant, the doctor pointed out. Dr. Mirkin suggested exercising at least 30 minutes at a stretch three times a week. He recommended bicycling (traveling or stationary) walking, running or jogging, ice skating and swimming.

Membership for 1979 will be available. Louise Jensen of Mapleton is arranging the program which will feature Mrs. Maurice Bird at the piano.

Nellie Brown (Mrs. Frank) got an early start on her spring pruning but was delayed when the ladder slipped causing her to fall and fracture her ankle. She spent several days at Utah Valley Hospital.

Eggertsen of Seattle, Wash. Marvin, a native of Springville, was school music supervisor in Salt Lake schools and conducted con-ducted the band at Liberty Park 30 years before his retirement. Mrs. Child has always been active in church and town affairs and just before her birthday, passed the exam for her driver's license. After reporting the party, she drove off to the beauty parlor to "get my hair done." Senior citizens plan more trips A trip to Death Valley, March 21, 22 and 23 is the next tour planned for senior citizens, announces an-nounces Odessa Nelson, tour director. Many places of interest are included on the brochure. The bus is filled presently and there is a waiting list, but quite often there are cancelations, so if others want to go, they should call the director immediately. im-mediately. Reservations are also being made now for the Senior citizen weds Membership chairman Afton Palfreyman, last week, found a new way to increase senior citizen memberships. She was married, Valentine day, to Ed "Ted" Thomas of Palmyra in the Provo Temple. Harold Holley of the temple presidency and a friend of the couple, performed the ceremony. Retire or It's your Individuals will now have the option of retiring or remaining employed at age 65, thanks to the passage of Senate Bill 8 by the Utah State Legislature, a Utah Department of Social Services' official said. According to Leon PoVey, Director, Division of Aging, the bill, one of the first to be passed by both the House of Representatives and Senate, prohibits discrimination on the basis of age and handicap in hiring, discharging, promotion or termination. ter-mination. "What this means is that an employer will no longer be able to force an employee to retire solely on the basis of age. It also means that if an older worker applies for a position or a promotion, that individual along with all younger applicants must be considered for the job. To do otherwise would be discriminatory and against the new law," PoVey emphasized. According to Eldon "Pop" Gray, Chairman, Board of Aging, the passage of the bill has been long in coming. "Utah's senior citizens have worked hard now for many years to the bill passed. Its passage marks a new era for senior citizens. It means they will have a free choice over their own future and financial resources." PoVey noted that there are currently 155,000 Utahns over the age of 60. "These 10,000 individuals who are approaching retirement age will be affected by the changes Guy Brown heads county council for meals-on-wheels Guy Brown has been reappointed re-appointed chairman of the Utah county meals- Guy Brown Board approves new appointments At the February meeting of board of directors of senior citizens, conducted by Director A.

PoVey said national studies show that only 10-20 10-20 percent of individuals want to continue working past the age of 65. "The new law, however, gives people options. Some people may continue to take early retirement while at age 55. The majority will retire still at age 62 or 65. But for those individuals who want to keep on working, they now have that option provided they meet other employer job requirements." PoVey noted that the changes in the retirement law have been necessary for a number of reasons. More and more people are retiring at an earlier age. This increases the number of people in retirement. Coupled with this, people are now living longer. Put together, it places a severe burden on our social security system to support all the retired individuals. If some of these individuals want to continue working, it will help offset some of these pressures, he explained. ex-plained. PoVey also noted that if the high rate of inflation continues, it will make retirement as it now exists economically unrealistic. "Already many senior citizens, on limited incomes, are having a difficult time making ends meet. Unless other options such as the freedom to continue con-tinue working are in place, the problem can only get worse.",. on-wheels advisory council, it was announced this week.

He succeeds suc-ceeds the late Lorus Park, who did an excellent ex-cellent job for several years. Director Tippetts reported the Friday night dances successful with a good attendance at the Center each week. Don and Wilda Rigby, Charles and Olive Porter and Woodrow and Raynore Hatfield have been appointed ap-pointed to assist Chairmen Chair-men Kenneth and Beth Johnson. The first dances were free but since there is some extra expense involved in-volved in refinishing the floor, for light refreshments refresh-ments and other items, it has been decided to charge $1 per couple or 50 cents each and lone ladies free. An invitation is extended to all seniors to attend and bring their friends. Those in charge say it's a good way to get acquainted and have an enjoyable evening. Director Tippets reported at the board meeting the dances are not a money making project, but another recreational entertainment program for senior citizens. The board heard minutes of the previous meeting by Sec. Ila Trease and reports on county meetings and local activities by Director Tippetts.
