A car flipped over and killed two boys on their way to a drag race in the only double-fatality accident of an Easter weekend marked by at least six traffic deaths in Indiana. Three Hoosieis also were killed in a smashup in Missouri. The crash which killed the two Indianapolis 18-year-olds was the only weekend crash in Hoosierland involving one car. The other four involved two or more vehicles. Ralph David Jester and Donald Ray Powers were killed when their souped-up car went out of control after passing another vehicle on a Jackson County road near Seymour. The car swer ved from one side of the concrete road to the other and flipped over on its top in a

Americans over 65, and 5 million
of them are over 75.
Furthermore, the number of “senior citizens” is still growing, much more rapidly than the general population. By 1975, one person out of every 10 will belong to the over-65 age gro<up, compared to one out of 25 in 1900. The significance of these statistics is not widely appreciated, according to G. Warfield Hobbs, chairman of the National Committee on the Aging. He says the chief reason is that “we have created a myth about the ’golden
years.’ ”
This myth depicts old age as a time when white-haired couples enjoy a life of well-earned leisure. You see them playing shuffleboard with the neighbors in a Florida retirement village, or mailing postcards to the grandchildren from a long-planned tour of the West. For a fortunate few’, this may be an accurate picture of life after 65. But where do you find room in this picture for the 4<00,900 lonely oldsters w'ho spend their lives staring at the ceiling :n nursing homes. Or for the 3 million who live with their married children or other relatives because they are unable-finan-cially or physically—to maintain i. home of their ow'n. And w'hat of the 7 million who try to get along on incomer of less than $80 a month ? These are some of the people that Hobbs and other authorities have in mind when they say that it is time for Americans to quit problems of aging. One of the most severe problems is maintaining an adequate
income.
Most 65-year-olds feel, quite properly, that they are still a long way from old age. They

ASSERTS SPACE AGE IS BOOST FOR RELIGION
SOUTH BEND UP Roman Catholic Bishop John J. Wright of Worcester, Mass., says the “space age’’ will be “a much more healthy atmosphere for religion” than the recent age of the “microscope sciences.” “The new age of science, using telescopes instead of microscopes and gazing out into God’s clear space instead of back into our own murky psychological depths, may let fresh air into modern thought.” said Bishop Wright. “In such air it may be easier for the Spirit, moving where it will to evoke more ready response.” John G. Deedy Jr., editor of the “Catholic Free Press” of Worcester interviewed the bishop for the current issue of “The Ave Maria,” a publication of the University oi N tre Dame. “We may not realize the extent to which studies in psychiatry, experimental psychology, anthropology, and even sociology—the sciences which, together with biology and other ’microscope
I That some times seems to be pre- ; cisely what has happened.” The bishop said the men w’ho first try to conquer space still could take along all their “preI occupations, problems and limitaj tions.” “Riding among the stars a man i might be as morbid with selfj centered ■brooding a: he would be in a psychiatrist’s 10 by 12 foot | waiting room, but it seems less j likely,” said Bishop Wright. ’ Even soaring aeyond the Pleiades, a man might still be less aware of the majesty of God than of his own weary partisan commitments and petty personal pride. Some might, but most wouldn’t. At least, so we may hope—and pray!” Bishon Wright said for men to avoid being "preoccupied” with science, the scientists must be “spiritual and scholarly men, not merely human robots." “Also there is need ttrit those responsible for the planning of educational systems and curicula, whether they be trustees of particular schols, politicians, or administrators, be endowed with a sense of proportion and an ability to keep a b danced emphasis among the humanities and the scientific branches, the arts and the sciences, the ancient classics and the modern researches, in our educational systems,” said the bishop.
