Seminar Off to Good Start
On Problems of Growinq Old

deaths will be of persons 80 or
Older, and 21a per cent of per-
sons 80 or older.
"A very large proportion of the
population" Mr.. Tibbitts told the
group. will live into a new
period of life. that has problems
and characteristics of it's own"
Along with the statistical up
swing of chronic disease, widow
hood, and retirement for men
that comes between the ages of
40 and so. comes the close of the
family-raising period and in
creased leisure time, he points
out.
But at the same time, mental
capacities are reaching their
peak and general physical ca
pacities still are high, he noted.
Period of Opportunity.
Perhaps, then, we should look
at the period of so and beyond
as one of opportunity for taking
on new and broader responsible
ties to the community" he rea-
soned. "We know now that peo-
pie in the SOS and COS at least
are just as capable of learning as
people in their teens and 20's.
"We know perfectly reasonably
that persons of so or so have an
accumulation of experience that
younger ones cannot have" he
added.
The seminar broke up into
group discussions to sift out some
specific problems for study?
Among the questions raised were: ::
How a person may get back
into the labor market after a
prolonged absence. What to do
about an income on retirement
that does not permit the STAN
ard of living previously enjoyed.
What the criterion for manda-
tory retirement should be. How
to break down prejudice against
employment of older workers.
Whether there is need for a
changed attitude on the part Of
some professional schools toward
older students.
"Our concern" said Mr.. Tib-
bits, will be individual adjust
ment-how we will meet the
problems and take advantage of
the opportunities of these later
years..
1T Is necessary also that So
ciety make some adjustment and
provide an environment in which
we can develop during our later
years." he added.

S. Ramspeck as chairman, the
executive director of the COM
mission takes over.
NEW FACES-There will be q
lot of new members on both the
Senate and House Civil Service
Committees.
Senator Carlson, Republican,
of Kansas. who will be chairman
of the Senate unit. and only one
or two others who served on the
committee during the 82d Con-
gress, will be back. The reason
is that most of the previous COM
mittee'S members are in hne for
more important assignments. or
were defeated for reelection. or
did not run. incidentally. SEN
ator Butler. Republican, of Mary
land. is expected to remain on
the group.
Practically all of the members
of the House Civil Service Com
mittee won reelection, but more
than half of them are expected
to take other committee assign
ments. Among those expected to
remain are Representatives Rees,
Republican. of Kansas. who will
be chairman; Murray. Democrat,
of Tennessee; Morrison, Demo-
crat, of Louisiana; Corbett, Re-

A group of Government work.
ers looked Father Time squarely
in the eye last night and started
drafting temporary injunctions
against him.
The Federal Security Agency
had announced that some IS of
1, it's employees had signed up for
a 15-week seminar. dealing with
the problems of aging. but 80
persons were on hand for the first
session.
Gray hairs were in the minor
ity. as the group prepared to do
battle against the usually ac-
cepted physical, social and eco
nomic inf1rmities of old age.
Their average age was judged at
about At.
The seminar is something of
an experiment on Federal Secur-
ity's view that the Federal Gov
ernment should join many large
industries that have started re-
tirement training programs for
employees.
First. the workers, some &C
companied by their spouses, had
dinner together in the agency's
cafeteria.
Then they practiced relaxing.
Under the direction of Dean
Snyder of the administrators
Office, they had a good stretch.
Next. every one smiled. Then
everybody laughed. and tried to
stop short at given signal. 1t
didn't work.
Quick Minute for Most.
Mr.. Snyder asked his students
to stand up for what each
thought was a minute. Some
body sat down in Is seconds,
most in 30 seconds. Clark Tib-
bits, chairman of the agency's
Committee on Aging and Geria-
tries, staunchly held out for so
seconds.
After a few paper games. they
settled down for some details
on the Nations aging popula-
tion, including:
There now are 18 million per-
sons 60 years of age or older.
In 1860. there promises to be
more than % million. In 1910
there were only 81 million.
A hundred years ago. the aver
age age at death was between
40 and As. During this year,
