High Rental Costs Pose
Problem to Old Citizens
necause of the high rental costs
in Ann Arbor many older people
are forced to live in unfortunate
surroundings, the University In-
stitute for Human-Adjustment de-
cided yesterday.
Speaking at an Ann Arbor Ro-
tary Club luncheon, Wilma T.
Donahue of the Institute called
for a study to look into the local'
problem, and to devise special
low-cost housing for people over
65.
The problem of providing for
them has increased dramatically
since the turn of the century, Mrs.
Donahue said; their percentage of
the population has increased from
4% in 1900 to 9 per cent today.
She attributed automation, con-
tinually rising percapita income,
and increases in the work force's
life as factors which have enabled
the nation to better support its
older population.
However, new inventions must
be encouraged to 'further improve
the situation, she stressed.

MACKINAC'S CRIER-A newsboy for the "Town Crier" pushes
his newspaper cart around the island. The weekly "Crier" is the
summer project of a group of University journalism students
practicing their four years of work on the island.

of vastly different political, social

of the town is tied to everything.
Unite Elements
"The elements of the community
were there and we had to live with
them. So we tried to unite and
bring them into harmony," he
said.
"And in doing so we were im-
pressed by the power a newspaper
has in a small town as a force for
constructive action."
Apparently residents of the Is-
lands were, too. By the end of the
summer The Town Crier had re-
ceived many letters of thanks and
ready to fall appreciation.
redsonalAmong the Important local news
g bove stories which The Town Crier cov-
ered was the dispute between the
city council and the State Park
)Is. Commission over the licensing of
carriages on the Island where all
motor-driven vehicles are prohib-
ited. Another important local is-
sue was thelocation of the new
school.
Successful Financially

enough papers to be able to buy
