DR.. Alonzo F. Myers, head Of
the Division of Higher Education
at New York University, gave an
interesting talk this fall at a
luncheon meeting of the New
York Adult Education Council.
In this talk he stressed the need
for preparation for retirement. He
said retirement kills too many
people and indicated that there
is need for action to curb this
killer comparable to that taken
against tuberculosis and cancer.
This was most interesting to me
because I had never before heard
retirement called "a killer" and
yet we know that this is true.
Many men who have look forward
to retirement simply wither on the
vine of life because of boredom,
when the time comes.
We have seen too many men
who were vital, age rapidly and
die a few years following retire.
ment. The statistics on this are
frightening! DR.. Myers believes
that most people retire too
late and too suddenly, without
adequate preparation for it. He
says, "At the age of so retire.
ment plans should be quite def
mite and realistic"
This is not a depressing phil
osophy but just the opposite. It
does not mean that from fifty on
a man should focus his eyes and
mind on the fact that he is get
ting older. but that he should be
realistic. In most work and pro-
fession a man is retired by the
age Of go or IS and many insti-
tutions and firms will not add a
man Of more than so to their
staff. In some careers which de-
mand heavy manual labor, the
age is even earlier.
With the many case histories In
medical records about men who
lived for years past their physical
expectancy because they had a
job they were eager to finish, and
with the great weight of scientific
data which indicates that boredom
affects our hearts. our glands and
our blood pressure, this idea of
preparing for retirement ahead of
time Is Of the utmost value. am
sure this will appeal to many men
who read why Grow Old?" and
also to their wives.
OF course, many men and
women have had such active in
terests In certain hobbies that

Why Grow Old?
Retirement Can Be q Killer
By Josephine Lowmon

they fail to develop outside in
terests. If you have not prepared
for this time of life and are al
ready retired, or near the time
when you will be, you can still find
things you want to do and to
learn. Adult Education is a big
help at this time.
Here are a few more things
Doctor Myers said:
Employers and employees need
to be educated to recognize the
need for gradual retirement. We
induct people into active work
careers and we should also induct
them into that important terminal
career called Retirement.
Preparation for retirement in
wolves these things:
81. Financial preparation, So
cial security, insurance and annu-
tiles, investments and savings, and
counseling about how to invest
| savings.
20. Educate people to look for
ward to retirement rather than
dread it. This depends largely on
developing interests that are
strong enough to replace work in
terests. Counseling and provision
of a variety of exploratory and
training opportunities are es-
sential."
This is where Adult Education
does such wonderful job! Women
encounter semiretirement earlier
than men-when their children
leave home. More about that

Starts in Day or Two
BY the Assoeiosed Press

BALTIMORE, Mar. 13.-En-
forcement of -Maryland's -Ober
anti-subversive law will start
again in a day or two.
This means that all public en-
ployes-including teachers who
have not signed loyalty afidavits
will be required to do so. The law
says that each public employe
must sign the affidavit or lose his
job.
The Maryland Court of Appeals
overthrew a Baltimore court de-
cision last month and ordered the
law reinstated.
The Citizens Committee Against
the Ober Law had asked the
United States Supreme Court to
stay the mandate of the Mary
land Court of Appeals, but the
Supreme Court turned down the
request Saturday.
The citizens group, however, is
going ahead with plans to ask
the Supreme Court to review the
Maryland decision.
Attorney General Hall Ham
mond said last night that his Of
flee will start enforcing the law
as soon as Judge Joseph A. Sher-
bow Of the Baltimore Supreme
Bench signs the necessary decree
in compliance with the appellate

Council 10 Study
Gross Rent Tax
City Manager Says
Tenants Increases
Would Be NeoIioibIe

A 29-cent per $100 tax on gross
rental incomes may be imposed in
Alexandria.
The proposal will be considered
by the City Council tomorrow
night as a means of raising more
revenue for a 1880 budget top
heavy with expenditures.
City Manager Guy Ancell, who
drafted the plan, said the tax is
less than one-third of one per
cent and added that any rent in
creases to cover it would be
negligible.
For instance, the tax on in
come from a $100 apartment
would be only, about $4.' he said.
Taxed in Arlington.
The city manager pointed out
that Arlington County already
taxes rental income. The rental
tax. he said. would be comparable
to other business license taxes in
the city. which have a rate of from
20 cents to $1.o3 per sl00 of gross
receipts. =.
Declaring the rental tax would
raise almost $4,000, Mr.. Ancell
said:
I'm looking for $4,000 in
added revenue. This would help"
He explained the budget is short
that amount on the income side
because the city has not yet
adopted a tax bill on utility bills.
The utility levy was contemplated
when the budget was prepared,
but councilmen have taken no
action.
Even If utility tax is adopted,
Mr.. Ancell added, there still would
be a deficit. He explained that
two months of the fiscal year
have passed without collecting
utility taxes.

extra $4,000 more than expected
In real estate taxes because of the
reassessment. But that doesn't
take care of it ALL" he said.
Two councilmen, Roy C. Bragg
and Marshall ]. Beverley, voiced
strong opposition to the proposed
rental tax.
Describing the measure as a
complete surprise" Mr.. Beverley
said property owners already face
higher taxes because of reassess-
ment and could not endure" any
added taxes.
Mr.. Bragg said he opposed any
new taxes. He warned the pro-
posed rental tax would encourage
apartment owners to raise rents
when controls go off. He explained
this Is because the gross income
from many apartments goes al
most entirely to repay construc-
ton loans.
