I am frequently accused of being obsessed by the problems of the old on the grounds that other aspects of society are equally deserving of attention. I feel it to be an unfair accusation because each of us has his own opinion of what should and should not be given priority of thought and action, and to label priorities obsessions is a distortion of the truth. Old age concerns us all - or should - and, as it is such a complicated subject, a mild flirtation with it will not do.
There are numerous organisations in the country dedicated to fending for those no longer able to fend for themselves; to giving meaning to lives grown meaningless; to easing physical and domestic burdens. But nothing can be done on good intentions alone; money is the prerequisite, and as a result much endeavour is often and needlessly frustrated. The tragedy is the fact that the battle is being fought for the preservation of man's dignity and his right to grow old gracefully, both of which are denied him.
Tonight's programme is about holidays and therefore has a seasonal interest. Old people will speak of the holidays they had as children and compare them with those of today: it should therefore have a national interest. If it can be called obsessive, I sincerely hope it will give rise to a similar obsession in others and subsequently instigate a revision of social priorities. (Barry Bermange)
