w GROWING OLD

In these days. since industry considers a man or woman of no further use to the rgnniutluu after the age of 55 to O), and we learn from research workers that the average life span has increas- ed from age of 47 (in 19(1)) to 66 I11) 1950). we wonder what is to become of elderly people physic- ally, mentally and emotionally. There are more elderly men and women in the world today than any other single age class.

Because of- this a new specialty has arisen in medicine called geria- trics, the treatment of diseases of old age, Gcrintrlcians point out that an elderly person can develop or be afflicted with practically all the ailments of the middle-aged and young adults, but has less physical and mental energy to withstand these ailments.

Added to the physical ailments

common to old age are mental and enmtional disturbances. Elderly pcopie find themselves a little slow. momally. their liearirlg and eye-3 sight are not so good. and they feel tired most of the time.

In Medical Clinics of North America. Drs. Davis A. .Boyd Jr.. and Francis J. Braceland, Mayo Clinic. Dcpartment of Psyciatry. state: "Everyone is deeply con- cerned with preservation of his own dignity and sense of worth as a person; this need is a powerful motivating force and accounts for much of the indivldualls striving and behavior patterns; the clderlyt are constantly rergjnded by a host: of very real events plus social and family attitudes that they are less important. less esteemed and res- pected. less loved than once they had been."

If i'n good condition physicaly many elderly men and women are able to face this lack nf apprecia- tion and love of family and friends. However. if they begin to develop physical ailments at this time. they are apt to use what are called defensive mechanism. such as exag;;crat.lng the symptoms of in an at- tempt to justify their mental and emotional shortcomings.

Treatment for us all to keep us balanced as we grow older is to try to -keep well with enough rest and sleep. enough food with an all- round dict. regular exercise such as walking. regular bowel action. and an active interest in others and in our surrountllngs.

High up the white fortress walls are pierced by numerous windows beneath which hangs I vast net- work of Yak hair to screen the holy of holies. The roof is glided with gold and flashes in the bright sunshine like a polished gem. .

. In 1849. an epidemic disease attacked the silkworm. with the result that the annual revenue from this industry dropped from 35,000,000 to less than one-thi.-rd of a million. Indeed, the silk indus- try of the world -was threatened with extermination. For five years the celebrated Pasteur worked on the problem before he discovered that the sllkworms were suffering from two infectious' diseases. He supplied a. preventive for both and thus saved the industry from com- plete ruin.

For decorating the walls of their homes they use skulls lift- ed from the heads of their enemies. . . The customs of court- ship and marriage are not with- out their humorous side.
