HOUSING FOR THE AGED: “NEED IS IN MILLIONS”

Washington, D. C. — The United States needs millions of specially designed housing units for people over 65, a Senate committee reported September 9.

Among findings of a subcommittee of the Special Committee on Aging:

A higher proportion of elderly people than of any other age group live in substandard housing.

Housing designed for families is not suitable for the aged.

Present programs for housing the aged have produced “a few thousand units, when the need is in millions.”

The report urged an immediate increase in federal loans to finance such housing. Applications for loans already exceed funds now available, the subcommittee said.

BILINGUAL CHILDREN MORE INTELLIGENT

What relation, if any, does the knowledge of more than one language have to intelligence?

Two McGill University psychologists say they are pondering this question after studies in which bilingual children scored significantly higher in both verbal and non-verbal intelligence tests than children knowing only one language.

The tests were given to Montreal school children of the same age and socio-economic level, Elizabeth Peal and Wallace E. Lambert reported at a convention of psychologists.
