LENGTILENING THE WORKING LIFE SPAN

Because the average life expect- ancy has increased almost 2!) years --from 47 to 66-since the begin- ning of the century, there are more elderly men and women than any other single age group. This great increase in the rrumiber of elderly persons has brought problems of health and security to every com- munity.

While security is very important to everybody there are other points to be considered, such as the work- ing span; that is. how long the el- derly man and woman is able to work or allowed to work.

Because of the great number of the aged and the problems they present to the community and themselves. medical journals, mag- azines and even newspapers are now published for the elderly.

In ”The Journal of C-erontologyy Dr. E, C. Clague shows that while life expectancy has been steadily increasing in recent decades, there have been no coiresponding gains in: the working life span. 'lVlodern iindustry and occupational trends lliave had the effect of not length- iening the working life span; in

u jfact if anything. tending to shorten

it. because there has been no in- crease in the kind of work elderly men and women are able to do This means fewer opportunities for work for older people and a length- ening of the period that these workers will be dependent on the government.

"A program for extension of working life is needed as an alter- native to a steady increase in the period of old age dependency and in the corresponding economic bur- den." Dr. Clague writes.

During the depression period we are told that the British workers preferred to work for 30 shillings rather than remain idle and collect 25 shillings a week from the Gov- ernment. The same applies to the elderly. who greatly dislike the thought that employers consider them unfit for work when they reach a certain age.

To keep elderly people happi employment for which they are fit should be provided by the com- munity. Dr, Clague states that "this will require concerted community action, in conjunction with employ- er and labor groups to secure a much more flexible employment policy geared to the capacities or abilities of individual workers.”

"Oh no. Ellen". James said, shaking his head gravely this morning. "there's no use in say-

be- it's no trouble to see that. If the truth was to be stated I don't believe you can milk a cow nearly as fast as you could!" He had evidently been settling I question in mind which some- times intrude: in to our busiest day: on the farm. Drawn up than beside bovine friends of ours in a stable, hands busy, we were at the milking. The new sun of day was streaming in at an eastern window. casting a golden latticed shadow on a wall close by. Above the doorway. a swallow. now into her mothering. chirped her cen- cem at our intrusion, while others of her family and kin clipped and soared on swift intriguing wings beyond it, making the yard bright with their presence. Granddaugh- ter's white cat. bland of face, yet with never a hint of his excur- sioning or adventures during the night hours. strolled in casually to Join the Blackie-dog already there with an eye cn the cat-pan. June" was never more winscme, as we would have this last morn- ing of it. to tuck away with the succession of cihers we keep so dearly In memory. 0 U 0 The mllksbeat its familiar tune into the pails. "Don't you think James that it wouldn't be out of place. well . . . to cfier your feli- citations?" we queried on the laughing note. easing the pinch of the still-pent flow on the far side of "that red one". a trick we learned many adventures ago, so many indeed the beginning has been quite forgotten, though "Bossys” of childhood sometimes walk sedately or stand primly at the milking alcng those well-trod- den paths we remember. James lightened his touch to allow for better hearing. "Felicitatlons, El- len?" he repeated. "And so" we accused "you're true to type, you've icrgoiten that this is an Anniversary of ours! I do believe your years have neither beginning not end. nor any date of moment to mark their passing." "Now there's where you're astray, E1- len". he countered. but" he laugh- ed, "I guess I'm so taaken up with the present, I sect of forget the past. I did think of it just the other day . . . I knew we were married scme clay in June. and I was go- ing to speak of it, but it slipped my mind. But Ellen" he chuckled. "I don't believe I should be the one to offer feiicitations. When you come to think of it. you should shake hands with yourself that, I took a fancy to you-in my youth-since. after all that was Pirovidcntial for you, saving you as it did from the single state! And I reckon." he continued. "I should receive some sort of re- ccgnltlun - congratulations no doubt, for having survived ouir married years, a medal perhaps. as proof of my record of endur- anoe. . your cooking and all! what a hardy constitution I was blessed with, to have withstood it at all!" And his chuckle was mirthiul and we admit. searching and sensi- tive as we are, we could find no note cf concern there. "And some- time. Ellen-I'm a bit. rushed right now, but when I'm not so busy. I guess I could manage a kiss. . . for remembrance." He called this over a shoulder as with a pail of milk he stepped out over the doorstep on his way to feed I pal: of calves. O I 0

And so another Anniversary on our road of life we have been priv- ileged to celebrate and enjoy to- gether- a humble road it is true. but then when we pause to con- sider it. are not all who tread it made of the same clay that is flesh and blocd and at the last "moulder in dust away" together?

It has been a pleasant road, we have irodden. which winds now into the sunset. sometimes it

For Friday, July 7

IT is possible that high hopes, of thrilling promise, may be dashed for the time being. by some stub- born obstacle. limitation, the with- drawal of funds or collaboration from high places. Some sort of block may call a halt in most dyn- amic or promising plans or- pro- jects. However, it is but a tempor- ary impasse. which could be bridged by a period of incubation or relaxation.

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is, may find it both profitable and relax- ing to temporarily call of! high tempo tactics while novel ideas. or frustrations, have time to "sim- mer." This in normal processes, and order, without retreating. or desponding. frc-.-n previously sound basic ideas and vision. I-lold rigidly to the optimistic viewpoint.

Tm success story

By I. ll. II.nAnnu

One of the foremost writers 0 American fiction spent his early youth on his father's farm where he was born July 4, I801.

The place was Salem, Mum. Ind the boy's name was NIthIniei Haw- thorne. I-fls youth was singularly free from the restraint: of formal schooling, but he liked to read good books. Spencer's Fairy Queen, and Bunyan: Pilgrims Progress, as well as the works of -Shakespeare and Milton were read and re-read until he knew their contents as few other boys of his age did. These boon companions and the quiet country scenes in which he loved to take solitary rambles were largely his teachers.

When he was fourteen his moth- er went to an uncle's who lived at Lake Sebago. Maine. and here his craving for solitude was further satisfied. In the summer months he wandered in the unbroken for- est and observed the ways of Na- ture. in winter he spent a great deal of his time skating on the lake. In 1825 he graduated from Bowdin College without having distinguished himself as a schol- ar. Then for a period of twelve years, the boy who loved the great open spaces, buried himself in his precious books, reading and study- ing under the shade of his favour- ite forest giants.

! D I 4 During this period he also did a lot of writing. destroying almost everything that came from his pen. because it failed to meet his own critical judgement. Later. however.

Warious articles were written for

periodicals. but they attracted lit- tle attention or interest from the general public. Of these Three- Told-Tales was perhaps the best. though it added little to his moa- gre earning. So in 1839 he went to work as a weigher and gaugcr in the Boston Customs House.

The work did not appeal to Hawthorne and he quit his job It the end of two years, and married a Miss Peabody of Salem. The young couple then went to live at Concord. the house which he cele- brated in a new story called "Mosses From an Old Manse". The four years spent at Concord were among the happiest of his life, al- though his latest book afforded him but a scanty living. To further supplement his earnings he accept- ed ihe position of surveyor of the Custom House at Salem, a position which he held for three years. or until a change of politics throw him out of his job. 1

Taking up his pen again Haw- ihorne wrote and published The Scarlet Letter. which made his name famous on both sides of the Atlantic. Success came after the long struggle to find recognition as indeed it usally comes to those who persevere.

. n .

His next novel, the House of Seven Gable (1851). and the Blithe- dale Romance, were well received. Still another stroke of good for- tune lay right around the -corner. Hawthorne's old friend, Franklin Pierce, became President of his Country and the author was ap- pointed to the Consulshlp at Liv- erpool. England. At the expiration of his term Hawthorne spent more than a year in travel visiting Rome. Florence and other famous European countries. The result of these wanderings were set down in a series of notebook joitings. The ripe plum of this period. however. was the Marble Faun. published in 1860. Upon his return to the U.- S. A. be purchased I new home where he penned Our Old Home, I further study of English Life which was not highly thought of in the Old Country.

And now we come to the clos-
