Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-46187 ELDERLY TAKE LEADERSHIP TRAINING COURSE PHILADELPHIA -- Dr. Arthur S. Flemming, commissioner on aging for the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, presents diplomas to some 800 older persons from the five-county Greater Philadelphia who participated in a two-day leadership training program under the sponsorship of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia's Senior Citizens' Council. Dr. Flemming, who also delivered an address, presented the diplomas during the Senior Citizens' Council's second annual convention. The training courses are intended to develop leadership abilities in elderly persons taking the course, so that they may in turn help to guide other persons of the same age group to needed services. Workshops were led by professional social workers from the division of aging of Catholic Social Services. Topics discussed in the various sessions of the course included participation of senior citizens in the many cultural, recreational and educational programs offered through the facilities of public and nonprofit agencies within the area, how to locate and properly utilize health care and other social welfare programs, how to organize for political action, and other matters of interest and concern to persons past retirement age.
