PEOPLE ARE LIVING
LONGER NOW THAN IN 1900

Any number of elderly per-
sons are glad to tell you just how
they happened to live so long
81 eat only vegetables, or 81
never had cup of coffee in my
life" are just some of the explain
atoms you may hear. But perhaps
the man who had the best eX-
PLANTATION was the one who when
asked why he'd lived so long,
quipped,
Dunno. :. I guess it must have
been because I didn't die young"
Corinne Justice Grill S | y,
State College Extension special
list in family relations, says that
doctors are helping us to live
longer today. In 1900 the average
person in the United Stateslived
to celebrate As birthdays. Today
the average person lives % years
longer.
But even though medical
science is prolonging life, many
people who don't die until they
reach their 70's or sos actually
aren't living longer. They don't
enjoy being alive, that is. They
continually find fault with their
families, friends, and relatives.
They criticize the young and
withdraw from activities. Such
an existence really isn't living,
Mrs. Grimsley says.
Growing old is a complicated
process, says Mrs. Grimsley, and
no one likes to think he is getting
old. Naturally you will change
as years go by, but there is no
one day on which you will sud-
denly become old. Your body
doesn't begin to age all at once
- it's single organ or tissue
that starts. Your eyes actually
begin to age during your teens,
your hearing becomes less acute
during your twenties; your mus
cular strength decreases in the
thirties.
And its hard to admit it, ex-
plains Mrs. Grimsley, but there
comes a time in your fourties or
fifties when you can't do as much
work as you once could. Staying
young, Mrs, Grimsley concludes,
isn't dependant upon pep pills,
but upon keeping your mind
alert, and interested in the ac-
tivities going on around you.
