Aging Department Proposal Beats Odds in Harrisburg
The article surveys a Pennsylvania Senate Bill 491 to create a Department of Aging with cabinet status under Sen. Michael O Pake. It would centralize elder programs, set a $35 500 pay for a secretary, and include sunset provisions with 1984 review. Amendments delay transfers to the new department and empower rule review while preserving a 19 member Pennsylvania Council on Aging.

A lyrical collage attributed to Jim Bishop presents a mosaic of autumn scenes and school life. Vivid imagery of mist, sparrows, fading trees, and daily routines blends with reflections on aging, memory, and the vigor of fall.
