That Body Of Yours

By James W. Barton. MD.

SHOULD THE ELDERLY D0 SOME USEFUL NTORKT

Now that so many men and women reach three score and ten and seem to enjoy reasonably good health, whether they should do some form of useful work or do nothing but rest is put up to the physician by the individual himself or some member of his family. I have written before of how some industrial firms. some months be- fore they pension off an employee. talk things over with him as to what he is going to do in his spare time. Sonle of these elderly folk have plans which they think will keep them healthy and happy while others have in mind only the great amount of leisure time they will have.

So important is this matter of watching the health of the elderly that the Journal of Gerontology is now being published in St. Louis. In this publlcatioii Dr.R. W. ix'lee- meier discusses programs of em- ployment of residents in hotnes for the aged. To find whether such a work program benefits the indivi- dual. a survey was made of the activities and attitudes of residents of a. fraternal home for the aged. Survey was made of men only chiefly because there were few women residents.

Of the men. 56 per cent were workers and 44 per cent non-work- ers. It has been estimated that to equal the part-time work of the residents in this institution would require more than 70 additional full-time employees on the staff.

That this working part-time is meaningful rather than just "made work" is shown by the list of jobs held by the residents: cook. kitchen helpei'. dining room helper. yard man, janitor, watchman. hospital orderly, truck driver. farm hand. barber, shopkeeper. carpenter. joiner, painter, plumber, meat cut- ter. postman snd practical nurse.

Participation in the work pro- gram is strongly encouraged but the individual can take his choice. to be e. worker or a non-worker. While workers and non-workers receive money allowances. those workers are greater and vary with the kind of work.

What did the survey show?

The survey showed that (it workers obtained higher scores than non-workers with the same degree of health.(2l workers car- ried higher scores in adjustment to life dealing with the areas of health. work. feelings of usefulness. and happiness.

Dr. Kleemeler concludes that useful part-time work promotes happiness and adjustment to life in the elderly.
