But over and above those .: concerns, thereare others to:: - which we must address our- selves. Merely by reason of having lived a goodly number of years, these people have acquired tre mendous knowledge,. wisdom and understanding, from whicNh we can all bene- fit. They can contribute to the guidance and stability Which our whale society so desperately needs.•'But;they cannot do this if they are segregated, ."put out to pasture'-' or forced to be almost 'totally preoccupied withtheir own basic needs. •: ;DER CITIZENS We have incredibly corn, plea problems. today. Enor- mous pressures are brought to bear on individuals and on• governments. Just as we need the talents and abilities • of our ,young `people,' many - of whom are -frustrated be- cause of high unemployment and lack of opportunity, so do, ' we need ,the talents and abilities of our•oidet'citizens. Just as we must be careful that we do not turn off otir' young people, so we must be careful that we do not turn off our older citizens, . To illustrate this danger, 1 . would remind you ' that in 1978;: there was a Senior Citizens Week, for which the theme was ."Reich Out''. At that time many older people protested that the theme ' `Shue.. Out" was • snore ap- propriate.. This whole' question of retirement must be reg assessed. We need the skills and experience of the people who are forced ; outof the labour force because of mandatory retirement policies, Early retirement pt'ovisions also have con- siderable effect.

The cttMini•tte . will review Jack's Jottings Retirement •BY JACK RIDDELL, M.P.P. ' There has been consider, able discussion. recently about the so-called "pew' North American phenomenon" of the elderly and their role is society. To a,. great extent, this subject has become one of widespread; interest because of the age - to -youth balance of our populations. In: the early 1900s people 65'years of age and over made up a mere 5% of the ,Canadian population.. ay 197.8 this figure hadrisen to 9%. It will reach 12% by the year 2000. Two decades later it is expected to exceed 20%. By the year 2031 there will be only three working adults for every person over 65. What is not a new phenomenon - : North American or .otherwise is the concept tharolder people have an important ' con- tribution to make to society. Throughout history we find convincing .proof that mental powers increase with age.
