Older people are increasing in

and desire to withdraw from ac-

Now, we are becoming acquaint-

sequence. developing new point

as retrogression, we are regarding
1t as a process of maturation. We
are coming to appreciate the ex-
perience, tolerance and patience
that come with years, and to un-

silence and strength decline, judg-

Moreover, suspicion is growing
that we do not seek retirement;
that we really prefer activity anC

Consistent with this newer

COMMENT.

(From Mrs. M. A., Wdshington.J
Every now and then some one
will write in and suggest the
further discussions on certain
subjects be eliminated from "our
page" This seems to me to be
very poor sportsmanship.
Because, after all. an item that
may not interest one may be of
great and special interest to an
other. And we do not have to
read what we don't care about.
Then there is always the possibil-
ity that at some later date we
might like to know something
about subject that we ignored.
Take me. for instance, African
violets used to bore me to death
Now I have plant, and I would
be the most thrilled woman in
the world if it even produced
flower. Then there's economy.
Some of you may be fortunate
enough not to have to scrape the
bottom of the bowl, but there
are plenty of us who have to give
up one thing to pay for another.

longer than we have supposed.
The implications of an aging
population are, then, that we must
develop attitudes and opportuni-
ties that enable us to continue to
learn and to take part throughout
life. Industry and most of our
institutions have focused on
youth; henceforth, they will focus
on youth and age.
Last summer Miss Betty Miles
presented here a series of excel
lent stories discussing the assets
of Older people and some of the
activities going on around the
country designed to give them
more satisfying lives and to take
advantage of their potentialities
Midway during her series the
Federal Security Agency convened
the first National Conference on
Aging here in Washington. Aging

leaders in agriculture, industry

Results Of the conference have
been remarkable. Bearing out the
revised philosophy Of aging. re-
ports have come in from 23 States
of existing programs stepped up
or Of entirely new ones. Several
communities and five States have
held conferences Of their own or
scheduled them for the near fu-
ture. Organizations, like the
General Federation of Women's
Clubs, the National Education
Association. and the National
Jewish Welfare Board are explor-
ing opportunities in their fields
and helping local units adapt
their programs to interests of
older members. Business and
professional organizations are in
cluding aging in their delibera-
tions. Four major foundations
are supporting research on eco
nomic aspects of aging. Manage
ment. labor and Government are
showing new interest in retire.

nance instead OF the number of
birthdays one has had.
In local communities, employ

TORONTO, ONTARIO.

From Mrs. C. r. c., WashinqtonJ
Toronto was my home-I was
born and lived there all my life
until about four and a half years
ago, when I came to Washington.
The city itself is much like any
other American or Canadian city.
1t is a manufacturing center, con-
sequently is dirty in the industrial
and downtown areas. However,
the residential sections are beau
tiful-Toronto has been called a
city Of trees and churches, Of;
which there are many Of all de-
nominations. :
The climate is as a rule mod
erately to sometimes severely cold
in the winter with snow, neces..
stating plenty of warm clothing.
and in the summer it gets ex-s
tremely hot, but does not have as
high humidity as Washington. -
North of Toronto is a veritabIe
playground of lakes and forests

For entertainment there
are all kinds of movies, legitimate
theater, concerts. etc. Toronto is
famed for tie Toronto Symphony
Orchestra, and of course all the
sporting events go to the Maple,
Leaf Gardens, the home of the
Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team.
There are many large modern de-
partment stores. I believe the T.
Eaton company is one of the
largest on this continent.
I am afraid that I cannot quote
food prices, but from what I OBJ
served last summer while there
on vacation food seemed. to be
somewhat lower in price than
here. Clothing, readymade. was
about the same. However, lovely
British woolens and china are
much cheaper.
I do hope you enjoy living in
Toronto and that my comments,
may be Of some help.

BASEBALL NEWS
by SmittY

A review of the past weeks
games revealed some important
performances including some high
lights during the course of this
period. In the American League,
the Detroit Tigers are holding
firm in first position, while the
World Champions and the Tribe
of Lou Boudreau continue to mix
it up with their opponents, COM
ing out in the lead in the series.
The Red Sox preyed upon Connie
Macksmen and also had some
rood times with the Senators. The
ro1;ans made a very good average
during the period by winning one
of two games from the Tigers,
winning all from the Browns, and
taking a slice on Chicago White
Sox. The Yanks have done much
better than last even they took
only two of four from the Senat-
ors. but they defeated the Macks-
men terribly, whom incidentally
Nc terrible defeat at the hands
Of the Red Sox. While there were
raw blanks during this period,
aon is made of the one given
by Eddie Ford of the Yanks when
he defeated the Senators in the
second half of a double-header,
after the Senators had defeated
the Bronx Bombers with a score
of 10 to 5 in the opener. Eddie, in
cidentally is very young and is a
control pitcher.
In the National League, the
Phillies continue to lead with a
good margin. They, however, have
not had a full assignment; two OF
their games rained out. and they
lost one. They are, however, in
the top position. The boys of Flat

also the Dodgers have had many

, 1950-08-24

Many of the games played were
very exciting, only being won in
the last inning by a homer, dou-
bic or a single; thus accounting for
many pitching duels.

Since then the clipper" has been
contributing to the Yanks' victory.
While the other clubs have had
that last minute punch all along,
the Yanks had lost this long
ago, but if this is to continue, the
Di Maggie punch, the Yanks will
go right up to the top.
Phillies' fans have been so ex-
cited over their lead in their
League that at this early date,
they are thinking in terms of the
sale of World Series Tickets by
this ball Club. But the manage
ment said it is too early, and they
will let them know whether tick
cts will be sold by them by Sep

upon their standing at that time.

couraging if this club would win
the pennant this year. Detroit

entertained the same idea, have
not expressed it. How could they,

The strong support that wom-
en- Of the State have given the
Senator has been very crafty
ing, and Umstead attributed
this to Graham's untiring efforts
in behalf Of world peace. He
quoted the statement of Mrs.
o. Max Gardner, widow of the
former Governor:
They (the women) think
that Frank Graham is more in
terested in world peace than any
other matter that will come be-
fore the U. S. Senate in the next
few years, and they know that
he knows more about world con-
ditions than any other candi-
date"
Il think this is a wise state
ment," said Umstead, land one
that should have the considera-
tion Of every citizen in our
State"
Umstead, after citing the con-
fidence the three units of the
Greater University Of North
Carolina are putting in their
former president by awarding
him three honorary degrees this
year, urged all who are inter-
ested in world peace and an "in-
telligent' domestic program to
vote for Graham.

second primary campaign with
clean hands," he said. In the

John w. Umstead, represen-
tative in the legislature from
Orange county, opened the
second Graham for Senator
campaign last Friday night with
a radio talk in which he re-
viewed Graham's record and
named well known persons in
various walks of life-business,
farming, teaching, law, and the
other professionalism have
praised him and are supporting
him.
"It is significant" Umstead
said, that in his own home
county of Orange, the county
whose people know him best,
Graham received four times as
many votes as all his opponents
together and at the same time
carried Wake county, the home
of his strongest challenger"
Recalling that Graham car
ried IS of the 100 counties in
the State, Umstead said: 'The
preference expressed for Frank
Graham was indeed Statewide. I"
An analysis, he said, showed
that Graham carried agricultural
and industrial counties, and
counties in the East, the Pied
mont, and the West.
Umstead called the roll of
many State leaders in the var
ious fields who have backed
Graham from the beginning, in
the face of the fact that in the

brought against Frank Graham
