ARE YOU AGING?
The Older Person in the Family

lie OlueF EeTSOH III tue dmlIy
In a few story-columns the
Montgomery County Committee on
Aging has been trying to present
some of the problems which may
plague US in our later years.
Agatha Hudson, whom you have
been following in this series, is
purely a fictional person but her
experiences could be yours or mine
if we do not plan for the future.
Agatha has lost her husband and
her home after years of happy and
sheltered married life. Now she is
trying to fit into a new world and
is having experiences familiar to
many of US who are aging. Yes,
men as well as women can have
these same problems.
But one does not have to De
lacking home or spouse to en-
counter difficulties. Some women
spend their entire life working
and planning for their family.
Then comes a day when all of
the children are grown and have
their own homes. A great void
is created that some persons find
hard to fill: They hadn't planned
on this time of their life.
The same with the business man.
He has had his nose to the pro-
verbal grindstone so long that he
has developed no interests outside
of business. Then comes retire
ment and, sometimes, chaos.
What do these conditions show?
The need for planning our lives
better. Retire to not from. Plan
a hobby, a job or an interest that
will keep the mind and body busy
and healthy. We all have to age
but in our maturity let us find in
terests, new knowledge, not the
senility of old age. To do that,
however, one must plan now.

County Committee on Aging.)

Mrs. Washington l. Cleveland
gave two very fine demonstrations
on Friday afternoon at the Fair.
The first, on the propagation of
azaleas, had illustrative material
that made it possible for the spec
tators to see every step of pre-
pairing the soil, preparing the cut
tings for planting and followed by
having a one-year-old plant to
show growth habits and size, and
a two-year-old plant. Anyone in
terested in shrubbery should be
anxious to start propagating aza-
leas after such a demonstration.
Mrs. Cleveland followed this de-
monstration with one on the MAX
ing of plastic lamp shades. She
was assisted in the demonstration
by Mr.. Samuel Kostolefsky, who
handles plastic materials in Wash

community in which they live.
They provide valuable service that speeds bust
and social affairs, guards the health and security
of the community, day and night They take part in
many local actives-weI(are and youth work, civic
and service clubs And in addition to all this, they
contribute to the prosperity of the community itself
For most telephone people live-and spend their
money-in and the places where they work
This money goes local stores and service stations
to local plumbers, carpenters and painters-pays
