"So we need to tie the older worker programs directly to delivery of social services if we are going to get our money's worth," Kimble believes. "It is not possible to run a Social Security program using only the telephone and waiting rooms where people wait for hours to be told that they will have to come back because the "computer" has lost their file. They really do not care about their file, they want the services, the money that they have a right to receive." Kimble feels the local Social Security offices should place an older person in the waiting areas to listen to problems and complaints and then each day ask staff members what can be done about them. He is also suggesting the waiting areas contain films and materials on related services so people could be learning about them while they wait. "Older people are asking if it really is necessary to recertify Security Supplemental Income every year," Kimble said.

"For those who cannot read or write and that is as many as 35 per cent of all older people this seems unreasonable and often means that benefits are cut off every year." Beaver Parlier Meeting Rep.

Tom is not above a quick, verbal practical joke: "This gentleman came in, made his purchase and left, forgetting his credit card. A couple of hours later he called, frantically, and I told him not to worry, that my son was out buying some tires, but he'd have the card back by, the time the customer arrived." Tom laughed at the memory." It wasn't but a few minutes later the man came storming in, demanding his card back," he said. He had taken me seriously. That was the first, and the last time I've seen him." As he told the story, a couple of customers were standing in the narrow aisle, waiting their turn, not the least bit impatient.

director of emergency services. The group would develop a uniform and coordinated plan for alleviating the current drought effects by recommending to county supervisors immediate, short- and long-range procedures.

He hopes to tie the local task force with the state's program and invite Gov. Brown to meet with local members in the near future.

The proposed program, known as the Air Conservation program, will classify all parts of California into one of four categories of allowable deterioration of existing air quality. The ARB is proposing that the highest degree of protection be given air quality in wilderness areas, national parks and state parks, which make up approximately eight per cent of California's total land area.
