Norma Matheson spoke at the Governor's on Aging for the Mountainland area this morning in Provo and used the occasion to urge senior citizens to vote in the upcoming elections and get their children and grandchildren to vote. She also received a plaque from Summit County Commissioner Reg Tadd presented in recognition of her support for senior citizens programs.

The conference at the senior citizen's Eldred Center is the eighth area conference held in the past two weeks. Matheson has attended seven. "While it is a grueling schedule, it's also a satisfying thing to do," she said. "I really think we have one of the finest aging programs in the United States not because we are wonderful people but because we are wonderful people who get together." Later in an interview, Mrs. Matheson said current candidates for governor need to address issues of high costs of utilities and medical and health care in order to get the older vote. "You're in an important position as far as the candidates are concerned. They know you go vote," she told the audience of Psychologically, they have found that those living long do not live alone.

Young said Mrs. Matheson has always made a special effort to participate in all conferences on the aging, and her dedication to the elderly in Utah will be missed when the governor's term expires.

"No matter what we ask her to do or where we ask her to be, she makes us a priority every time. We're going to miss her just a bunch." Young said it has been evident by the governor's treatment of programs for the aging that his wife's attitude has been contagious. "Because of what she knows from our input, she goes to the governor and, next thing you know, good and wonderful things happen," Young said. "The governor has always supported her and us."

She said a lot of the 100 senior citizens centers in Utah need money to expand. "The nutri- tion program could stand a shot in the arm with more money, and the Meals On Wheels program was cut back. The candidates have got to come up with creative ways to fund senior programs," she said.

The Georgians have heard about the yogurt commercial in the United States. It has become somewhat of a joke to them. Research has shown it is not yogurt the common people eat, but instead a form of clotted milk, described as being almost like cottage cheese. Instead of sugar, Georgians eat honey and use it in their cooking. Child bearing also plays an important part in women who live old. Women who have 6 children tend to live longer.
