sense of adventure and enjoyment of 1t.
This generalization by the old people
themselves really holds true of people of any
age Anyone not interested in his future or
in adventure, physical or mental, certainly
has reached old age be he % or 95 for he
has nothing to live for and therefore has
reached the end Of his life for all practical
purposes of living
our own attitude toward people of adj
vanced age contributes lot to make these
persons mentally older than they actually
are. The younger generation is impatient
with older people and is consciously other
wise eager to get them out of the way This
may sound brutal but it is true
The reasons for such an attitude are many.
All of them, however, seem to be based on the
facts that the impatient younger people are
unable or unwilling to understand the prob
lens of their elders and that the Older people
are unable or unwilling to adjust themselves
to the changing world
DR. Lawton points out that younger adults
wish to end their own dependent state and
take over the power and positions of the older
people. This principle operates in the family
where we have the mother-in-law and grand
mother problem. and in business or. pro-
fession where promotion depends on seniority.
The fact remains" Or. Lawton explains,
that deep down within the minds of the

younger people is the feeling that the old
have had their fling at life
Under the best of circumstances there
are fundamental strains in the relationship
between youth and age.
This tension is increased by competition
in the economic area and psychological dis
elimination arising from the fact that
nation our virtues have not been those of
age, but of youth stressing speed. alertness
and strength As a matter of fact most of
us find it difficult to conceive that the aged
have virtues of any kind
On the other hand, Dr. Lawton points
out the difficulties of the aged in getting
along with the young.

according to Walter Pitl<n life begins"
The Social Security law indicates Ga as the
beginning of old age Yet you can ask some
person of sc. and he'll tell you that old age
really begins at so or 90.
Scientists refuse to pick any arbitrary age
as the beginning of senescence and. broadly
speaking, agree with the popular saying that
a man is as old as he feels. They reject any
definite connection between the number of
years lived and real old age
Science considers aging matter entirely
relative to the individual in question.
DR. Lawton. trying to find out when a
person really becomes old, recently conducted
an interesting experiment. He went to the
old people themselves to ask them about it.
He visited a group of aged men and wo=
men in an old peoples home in New York and
read to them the list of od-age characteristics
mentioned above.
This group came to a remarkable con-
clusion. They all agreed that no one was
really old who was still interested in the
possibilities of his own future; who enjoyed
the novel and the unpredictable even in the
face of danger, who, in a word, retained his
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-01-26

Nor for that matter does it mean that a
person having some of the characteristics
mentioned in DR.. Lswtons list is truly old
physically and mentally
Discussing the problems of old age from a
psychopathic angle Dr. Eugen Kahn, pro-
fessor of psychiatry at Yale University
assumes that old age patients were psyche
pathic personalities from the beginning in
whom aging only served to exaggerate psyche
pathic tendencies such as anxiety, irritability
moodinesS, seIf-centeredness, sensitivity and
suspiciousness.
There is an opinion that with increased
age the majority of the people tend to be-
come fixed in their views and reactions
Freud called it 1.-The lack of elasticity" In
other words a youthful radical natures into
the older conservative.
There are. however divergent opinions
whether such conservatism is a sign of old
age and failing. Many young people have
fixed ideas and are unable to learn something
new. A good example of this divergence of
views occurred during he-teeent- controversy
about the Supreme Court.
To some. the judges Of the Supreme Court

thinking because of their age was bar to

DR.. Lawton, face a serious loss of prestige
and power in their family circle. The mother
n-law who gives trouble is an individual who
is failing to make the necessary readjustment
of roles. She forgets that she is no longer in
charge of a household and that that function
has been transferred to her daughter or
daughterin-law.
Unemployment insecurity. DR. Lawton
adds. is also cause of great anxiety in older
people partly because of the sheer material
distress it causes, but even more because
employment and the lack of money signify to
them and to others the loss of prestige and of
social usefulness.

GRIZZLY HAS new
TREATING PROCESS

CUT BANK-The Northwest Re
filming company, manufacturers OF
Grizzly gasoline, after several
months of careful study and re-
search. have installed new equip
ment for treating fits products.
Practically all refined products have
been treated in some manner to
remove impurities. certain unstable
compounds and to improve odor.
This new treating method Is far
superior to the old Doctor" me-
thod In that the finished gasoline
has a higher octane value and is
considerably improved in stability.
Newer cars with higher compress
sion ratios require the refiner to
produce motor fuels that will per-
form satisfactorily and NOrthwest's
new treating plant is just another
step in this direction.

DRILL TOO FEET
IN EIGHT HOURS

What is believed to be a world
record for drilling and completion
at 2713 feet was achieved by the
Kern Drilling co. on Harbor No.
2 for the Sound Petroleum Corpo-
ration in California.
Certainly, it is believed, a
worlds record can be claimed for
the eight-hour tour from p. m.
December 8 to midnight. when a
total of 1895 feet was completed.
Actual drilling was begun at los
feet and at the end Of eight hours
a depth OF 100 feet had been
reached. This is equal to a drilling
speed OF 1898 feet per hour.
A Wilson power-driven rig was
