AUocatioy1s Help
To Retain Youth

Anybody can develop an avoca-
ton of some kind In many cases
these avocations have turned into
paying vocations after retirement.
In any case they are literally life
savers when it comes to making
life ivable.
Various skills permit varying Pc
riods of activity.
Many farmers are self-sup-
porting at 20 or IS. Perhaps
this is partly because of their
envirOnment-mental and phys
ical. Cicero says farmers "are
not hindered to any extent by
old age, and seem to me to ap-
prOach the ideal wise mans
Iife.''
Most jobs are Of such character
that ability to perform them de-
clines with the years. when You
Grow Older" cites as an example
"speed work"-like the assembly
line. Youth excels in this type Of
work. But age does almost as well
as youth in the type classified as

skill is important.

these pertinent paragraphs of
''When You Grow Older" offer a per-
feet example of how modern sci
ence and experience confirm the
verities expressed by poets and
philosophers Of the past.
1t Is still the habit Of many
critics to praise the style Of
Cicero's "De Senectute" but to
toss its message aside as wish
full thinking. Even Montaigne,
who said frankly that reading
the essay "made one long to
grow DID," pessimistically linn
tied what he considered a useful
lifespan to mere so years and
thought It wrong to contem-
plate further existence.
Cicero's physical world was
bounded by the frontiers conquered
by Rome's plodding legions but his
view was long in time. Today the
men of our scientific age echo the
request in the last paragraph of the
great statesman's immortal essay
when he prayed: " a.. that you
put my words to practical test"

This situation poses number of
problems for the nation, and also
emphasizes the personal problem:
The problem of growing old.

equipment industry has failed to still
the clamor Of the hungry market.
It has been common practice this
summer for farmers to pay huge
premiums on such pieces Of equip
ment as tractors, hay balers and
corn pickers, all of which have Gus
toners on dealers waiting lists.
Tractors priced at ST, 900 have sold
for as high as $4,000 or $500. Hay
balers, which are used on hay three
times a season and have other farm
uses, have been finding buyers at
double or triple the list price.
