AT Gorden Tonight
By The Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-Archie
Moore. world light-heavyweight
boxing champion. weighed l73
pounds today while Harold john
son Of Philadelphia. the con-
tender, registered 1721a at the
weigh-in for their 15-round title
fight tonight in Madison Square
Garden.
The Light heavyweight limit is
ITS pounds.
On June I the 37-year-old
Moore weighed q pudgy 1894
for q six-round victory over Bert
Whitehurst Of Baltimore in st.
Nicholas Arena. Moore, who
remains an 8-to-5 favorite over
johnson, arrived for the weigh
in dressed in a black cowboy
outfit, complete with 10-gallon
hat and boots.
He said he had dried out
since noon yesterday and had
restricted his breakfast to a soft
boiled egg, q slice Of toast and
q cup Of tea.

The light-heavyweight cham
pion, now q Miami resident, will
be seeking his 18th straight VIC
tory when he steps into the
Madison Square Garden ring at
10 pm. against the muscular, 26-
year-old contender. The show
will be telecast nationally but
the New York area will be
blacked out. CIT will be seen in
Washington over WTOP, Chan

The bout will be the fifth
scrap between the two Negroes
since April rs, 1949. The first
time the clever and experienced
Moore floored the ex-sailor twice
and won decisively. The next
three fights were all close. with
Moore winning two and Johnson
one.
Johnson's 10-round triumph
on December 10, 1851, was the
last defeat suffered by Archie.

a S Directors Meet
In Secret 10 Consider
Offers 10 Buy Club
BY the A.soeioted Press

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. IL
Top brass Of the Philadelphia
Athletics huddled in secret
today over at least two proposals
to purchase the club.
They shifted the meeting site
from the normal location, Connie
Mack's Office at the ball park.
to the downtown suite Of a
lawyer.
After an hour there during
which time the Office staff would
not even acknowledge an AS
meeting was in progress
Connie, his son Earle and two
attorneys emerged from the
Office but refused to talk to
reporters. Outside, Connie got
in his car and was driven away:
Earle and the lawyers headed to
another Office.
Roy Mack, the elder Of Con-
MES two sons who own the club
with him, didn't come out Of the
Office.
Later Session Planned.
Attorney j. Charming Ellery,
in whose Office the meeting was
held, emerged shortly before
1880 am. to announce there
had been a temporary adjourn
ment until some time after 8
pm" He wouldn't say what
was discussed nor who was there.
One of the two offers before
the Mack family is from Arnold
johnson, Chicago businessman,
who wants to take the club to
Kansas City. The other is from
a local syndicate which wants to
keep the AS here.
There could be others, al
though there has been no official
word of that.
Sometime after he left Ellery's
Office, Connie Mack was reported
in conference with another at
torney.
Prepare Separate Answers.
That seemed TO indicate some-
thing like this:
Roy Mack had presented the
two offers. He and his father
and brother then separated to
figure out their individual an
swers. They will get together
later today.

The source of Stanky's present
difficulties Is his pitching staff.
He talked hopefully about his
mound corps during the spring.

Vic Raschi from the Yankees.
But the staff has looked bad
from the start and with the wear

has gone from bad to worse.

WHY Grow Otd7
I'VE Must Work Out Social
Aspects Of Long Lives
By Josephine Lowmon

New York City seems to have
turned into the progressive
leader in recognizing a very i'm
portant fact, namely. that social
science has not kept UP with
medical science, and that this
fact is creating a tragic problem
which it is imperative to solve.
am speaking Of the rapidly
increasing number Of older peo-
pie in our population. Medical
science is keeping people alive
longer, and for what, unless So
cial conscience comes to the res
cue and provides these older
persons with an outlet for their
energy, their talents. some COM
partnership with those their own
age, and adequate housing and
medical care.
New York's Mayors Advisory
Committee for the Aged outlined
and has carried through a Won
derful program under the chair
manship of Raymond M. Hill
liard. They have made only a
dent in what needs to be done
but it is a thrilling beginning.
Just now let me impress upon
you the necessity for providing
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-03-14

for these older people in every
city and community in the coun-
try. When the Mayors Advis-
ory Committee for the Aged was
established In l949. there were
$50, 900 persons IS years old and
older in New York City.
Today, four years later, there
are nearly 100000 persons 65
years old and older. Every
single day 100 more persons join
the so or over group in New
York.
It was to me, and ! am sure
will be to you. startling to know
that this group is increasing at
q rate nine times as fast as the
remainder of New York's popula-
ton. What is happening there
is happening everywhere.
Let me quote from one of this
committees reports:
1.-THE Mayors Advisory Com
mittee for the Aged was appalled,
by the fact that the aging pop
ulation had been relegated, in
many respects. to the social and
economic scrap heap. Instead

to their city, these older persons

most often were beyond their
individual control and for which

What has this to do with

Report To Parents
by
DIR. Martha NJ. Eliot
Chief, Children's Bureau

Farm animals have a fascina-
tion for city children. And too few
of these children have a chance to
see them in the flesh-or on the
hoof.
That situation is taken care of
in a unique way in Hartford,
Conn.,, and one that other COM
munities might well want to copy,
since it brings youngsters of diff
ferent ages and interests together
in way that is constructive for
all.
Each year the Glastonbury
Chapter of the Future Farmers of
America, in cooperation with the
Children,s Museum of Hartford,
puts on Farm Day. The Future
Farmers are boys from IA to 10
years of age, pupils in the Voca-
tional Agriculture Department of
Glastonbury High School.
They put on their show especial
ly for the children of nearby
Hartford, right in the middle of
the city, but it has become such a
good show that many grown peo-
pie turn up for it, toto the
point chat this year some of the
milking had to be done high on a
truck SO that the very young fry
could be sure not to miss any
thing.
The boys bring a varied assort-
ment of livestock, by truck, to the
Hartford Park where they start
setting up their farms" at 4:30
on the morning of the great day.
From 9 in the morning, when
they are all set for their audience,
until 4 PM, with only break for
lusch, they are busy shearing
sheep, milking cows, driving OK
teams, exhibiting pigs, parading
horses, explaining the care and be-
havior of chickens and goats.
Some of the city youngsters
have never seen milk in a pail be-
fore-fresh and still warm from
the cow. And they are, of course
enthralled with all the younger
animals: the colts, and kids, and
lambs!
And the youthful farmers, the
hosts? Displaying their skills and
their learning to such an intensely
interested audience, of course they
swell with new pride in themsel-
yes and in the fun of sharing their
knowledge with those who are
younger and less skilled.
In these days then there is such
concern over the growing number
of our children and young people
who are delinquent, am parti-
cularly happy to report on some of
these things the 98 percent of our
children who are not in trouble
with the law are doing. So many
of them are doing so very well.
These farm lads have done a
special job in their community.
