Kansas older citizen honored
By CURT CHAUDOIN Kansan staff writer
Mrs. C. Loudell Frazier, Topeka, retired head of the division of services for the aging, State Department of Social Welfare, received the 1970 Distinguished Older Citizen of Kansas award, Monday.
Lt. Governor James L, DeCoursey, acting in the absence of Governor Robert Docking, made the presentation at the 20th annual Kansas State Conference on Aging at the University of Kansas. Nearly 175 persons attended.
The award is given each year by the Kansas Citizens Council on Aging.
Before making the presentation, DeCoursey spoke on the importance of the field of aging. "It is necessary to have an active, working organization to preserve the rights of older citizens," DeCoursey said.
DeCoursey said many persons are forgetful and don't realize older people have earned the right to be respected. It has not been recognized. We must watch, he said, that older people receive consumer protection, guard against misrepresentation and make sure people on fixed incomes are not susceptible to injustice.
In her speech, Mrs. Frazier commented on the increasing importance of aging persons. She said we must continue to use our skills and know-how in changing not only the image people have

of older people, but also the image the elderly have of themselves.
She said senior citizens must learn to accept age because it can be meaningful if one remains independent and useful to society.
Mrs. Frazier retired Jan. 1, 1969, but has remained active as a volunteer in community and civic interests.
John B. Martin, commissioner, Administration on Aging, Dept. of Health, Education and Welfare, Washington, D.C., gave the address at the opening session, at 1 p.m., in the Kansas Union
Forum Room.
Martin said the state of Kansas in its concern for older citizens has a good program.
Martin said the fastest growing per cent of our population is between the ages of 80 and 100 years. He said in three years there will be 20 million people over 65. So, he said, when talking about the "aging population" one was talking about 50 of the 200 million people in our country.
We must initiate new techniques, actions, and thinking in this area of concern because of mere numbers of the aging.
The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation has appointed 17 University of Kansas seniors as Woodrow Wilson designates. Fifty-two awards were made in the five-state region of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and South Dakota.
Wilson scholars named
This year 1,152 seniors in the United States and Canada were appointed "designates" in recognition of their high potential as future college teachers. They were selected as "the most intellectually promising of the 1970 graduates planning careers as college teachers" from among more than 12,000 seniors nominated by more than 800 schools.
The University of Kansas, which tied with the University of California at Los Angeles for sixth place in the number of seniors listed as "designates," also has seven seniors who won honorable mention.

New Camaro. Feb.26th.
We've never announced a car at this time before. But then nobody's ever announced a car like this before.
Super Hugger
If it were an ordinary sportster, we'd have introduced it at the ordinary time.
Instead, we took the time to build a whole new Camaro.
We started with a sleek new shape and a low road-hugging stance.
And added more hood. A faster fastback. Wider doors. And new deeply contoured bucket seats.
The instrument panel wraps around you. With enough dials to make you think you're piloting a 747.
There are four transmissions. And six power plants up to the Turbo-Jet 396 V8 that you can order.
Pick the one that best suits your driving. Then go pick on an open road.
And make it one with plenty of twisting turns. Because Camaro has a remarkable new suspension. And standard front disc brakes for a leech-like grip on the road.
New Camaro. The Super Hugger.
Other sportsters always feared it might come to this.
And they were right. Only their timing was wrong.
Putting you first, keeps us first.
CHEVROLET See it. At your Chevrolet Sports Dept.
