aging.)
Killers of oldsters' zest for life
and of oldsters themselves-are
the twin poisons, idleness and iso-
lation.
Constant contact with others
and days alive with activity are
inescapable during school and
working years. But with age
these contacts and this activity
fall away. and many oldsters feel
sealed away from life.
That this need not be has been
demonstrated by experiments in
several cities in the past 10 years.
Creative activity-not "busywork'
and a chance for the kind OF
recreation they themselves want
can transform dullness into days
full of the interest and activity
older folks knew in their earlier
years.
In civic-minded Cleveland there
are over 80 Golden Age Clubs,
Mrs. Lucia Bing. secretary of the
Committee on Older Persons OF
the Welfare Federation of Cleve-
land, reported. The Welfare Fed
Grafton is Cleveland's council OF
social agencies.
The first clubs were established
in 1910. The groups meet in then
own neighborhoods-in settlement
houses, in churches, in already ex-
isting facilities that are conven-
lent. There are no club dues.
Its been our experience that
old people have been overpro-
tected," Mrs. Bing declared
Cleveland also has sponsored a
summer camp for the aged. There
oldsters enjoy square dancing
nature trips. craft classes and
dramatics. The city of Cleveland
provides the site, the Welfare
Federation provides the staff.

Live Long-And LikeIt
Friends and Fun Found in Clubs

Age Hobby Show grew out of its
clubs. The Cleveland press pub
licizes the show with announce
ments and pictures, and presents
prizes for the most attractive and
unusual exhibits. I'VE learned
that blue and red ribbons, with
medals which become permanent
keepsakes. are of more value as
prizes than money" Miss Bing
explained.
The admiSsion-free show usual
ly runs eight days, and an expert
enced manager and approximately
100 women volunteers keep the
show going. Each weekday after
noon some cooperating organi-
zation presents special program
of entertainment and light re-
freshments.
Volunteers at the information
and registration desk keep count
of visitors. and give out pamph-
lets and information on resources
for older people in Cleveland
New members are recruited for
clubs and classes. too.
An all year round shop
"Homecrafters Shop"-has de-
veloped from the show. carrying
work that has quality and is
marketable. A 10 per cent
markup is put on the makers
price. with profits going to COM
munity organizations. The shop
is housed rent-free in a room
offered by the Civilian Exchange
a philanthropic organization.
Miss Margaret Mulac, manager
of the show. explained that when
it was decided to sell work at the
third hobby show. 1910 worth of
work was sold. The next year
300 worth of work was bought.
In Philadelphia today approx
mately 5000 persons over 65 years
of age are meeting in 68 clubs
and class groups. developed un-
der the program sponsored on a
CITY, wide basis in June of 1946.
They go out in cold and heat
rain and snow," Miss Georgene
Bowen. director of recreation for
Philadelphia's older people, re-
ports. ITO get to their club they
go by bus, by trolley. by train,
and by foot" The project is
sponsored by the Philadelphia
Recreation Association. under the
council of social agencies in that
city.
No special buildings and no
staff were provided for the clubs.
Evening star., 1950-08-21

All of the agencies and organiza-
tions that could do, this kind of
work were asked to cooperate.
They were offered, Miss Bowen
points out, the opportunity to
"incurfa little expense. much ef-
fort and great satisfaction" Clubs
meet in churches, in schools.
wherever space can be secured.
No two clubs in Philadelphia
are exactly alike, Miss Bowen re-
ports. They have varying names.
Their programs of activity show
wide and varied interests. Since
they are primarily neighborhood
clubs. they vary. too. in cultural
and economic background. There
are groups of intellectuals. she re-
ports. groups of business persons
groups Of unemployed. For the
most part, however. clubs cut
across cultural and economic lines
she adds.
Strong and dependable sponsor
ship. democratic procedure with
in the clubs and encouragement OF
the maximum participation OF
members are essentials in build
ing successful clubs, Miss Bowen
reports.
Some of the members are learn.
ing new attitudes as well as new
hobbies which often offer a chance
to realize some cherished dream
Miss Bowen tells of a little wom.
an, SO years old, who. at her first
visit to a club, wistfully watched
while the other members danced
Then. when waltz began. she sal
forward in her chair, looked
eagerly at the leader, and asked
do you think / could learn tt
waltz? I've always wanted to, but
my family didn't approve o1
dancing. Would you teach me
now?" She soon became the club.
most graceful dancer.
Hobbies are vital. Miss Bower
believes, but it is a mistake tt
develop only one type of hobby
For example. if a lobbyist
has developed only activities in
volving manual skills and some
thing happens to his hands. he i,
cut off from all of his interests al
once. Hobbies that involve men,
tai activity. such as geneology, his.
tory, stamp collecting and archive!
projects, are absorbing, too, she
pointed out.
Many other cities in the country
have set up similar programs now
