Under chairmanship of the VA deputy. administrator, Bradford Morse, the committee on aging will coordinate the VA’s many activities and programs in the field of aging with other agencies and will make recommendations to Mr. Whittier for carrying out the Nation’s responsibilities to its aging veterans in the future. — As the VA administrator and member of the cabinet-level Federal Council on Aging appointed by President Eisenhower in March, Mr. Whittier is-‘responsible field of aging. The council is charged ious federal agencies’ in. improving the effectiveness of. their programs in the field of aging and with assisting the secretary ‘of. health, education, and welfare in planniftg and coordinating the White House Conference on Aging to be held in January, 1961. The problems the VA is facing in regard to care of aging veterans are identical with problems faced by the Nation in regard to the over-all aging of the population, Mr, Whittier pointed out. “These are more than medical’ problems— they are social and economic problems as well —and they are intensified in. the VA because of the age of the veteran population,” he said. “The average age of World War I veterans now is 65 years and the average age of World War II veterans is. 40 years.

Today, of the 22 million veterans, about 6 million are over 45. In 12 years, fhere will be only 6 million under that age. “The direct responsibility the A bears for care of: this aging opportunity for development of solutions that should be capable of translation into approaches and methods applicable to the general population. “The solutions lie to a large extent in: eliminating the concepts of rocking chair retirement and old folks homes. A positive approach of integrating senior citizens into the community life— not segregating them—is needed. “fhe Veterans Administration intends to meet the challenge head-on and solve it as it did that of demobilization and readjustment.” You can get a citation for throwing trash from your car. aoa tonal tendance certificate and get the] the Hiature, Robert E.

Brown, The amendment to the California Unemployment Insurance Code spells out when, how much, and for how long extended benefits may be paid, and levies an additional unemployment tax on4 employers for creation of a special account in the state unemployment fund for payment of extended benefits. The Miller-Oollier Act provides that unemployed persons may receive up to 13 weeks of additional unemployment benefits at their usual weekly benefit amounts when unemployment in Catifornia reaches 6 per cent or more of employment covered by the Unemployment Insurance ode. John E. Carr, director of employment, said this week that unemployment now is only about 4 per cent of covered-employment and that it is not anticipated it will go as high as 6 per cent in 1960. The taxing provisions of the Miller-Callier Act apply to 1959 payrolls, ‘however, and Carr said the Department. of Employment will bill employers acecordingly in 1960 on the basis of 15/ 100ths of 1 per cent of taxable wages paid in 1959. This tax rate schedule also is geared to the ratio of unemployment to employment (employers pay more in good times and at lower tax rates when business is mot so good) and it is estimated that the 1960 rate will be 20/100ths of 1 per cent of taxable wages. Carr estimated that the tax on New dates. for angling ge ES tions mee in accordance with a law passed by the 1959 Legislature, have been anounced by the California Fish and Game Commission. The dates are: October 9, in Los Angeles, when the commission. will. hear recOmmendations from the public and Department of Fish and Game fvr angling regulations for next year, and December 3, in Sacramento, when the commission will hear any objections to its determinations (announced to the public at least 15 days before the December meeting) and set regulations. Formerly the meetings were held in January and February. They were changed to make it possible to get angling regulations to the public before the trout season opener in the spring.
