The well qualified representative of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society gives a succinct, well organized report on the Second WHCoA. It is presented under the headings: Action and Long‐Range Planning (the keynotes); Recommendations of the Sections (Education, Employment and Retirement, Physical and Mental Health, Housing Income, Nutrition, Retirement Roles and Activities, Spiritual Well‐Being, Transportation, Facilities, Programs and Services, Government and Non‐Government Organizations, Planning, Research and Demonstration, and Training); Special Concerns Sessions; and General Sessions and Luncheon Meetings. At the closing Session, the delegates unanimously approved a line of procedure designed to obtain the quickest possible action on the major recommendations of the Conference. There was a general feeling of optimism that the follow‐up work had been left in most competent hands.
