Longevity Seen Aided.
Marie Beynon Ray. author Of
the sThe Best Years Of Your
Life" says Eoyd's Of London
made a l0-year survey and found
that many men who retired at
60 were dead at 63 while those
who kept on working lived well
past 10.
They retire. They sit down
for q while. Then they lie down.
And then somebody carries them
out. Mrs. Ray wrote.
And Dr.. Edward 4. Bota, for
nner president sof the American
Medical Association, declares:
Retirement shock Is often the
cause Of physical and nervous
breakdown
Others point to the examples
of Michaelangelo, who produced
masterpieces at SO, Goethe, who
wrote Faust III his sos; Verdi,
who wrote Ave Maria CT 85, and
Oliver Wendell Holmes. who de-
liVered great Supreme Court
opinions at 90.
Churchill Cited.
Also cited are such currently
active figures as Prime Minister
Winston Churchill and Herbert
Hoover. both go: Bernard Ba-
ruch. 81. and Grandma Moses.
"a.
ITS better to wear out than
rust out" the opponents Of re-
tirement argue.
But on the other end Of the
debate are many who contend
that regardless Of ones occupa-
tion. retirement can bring life's
richest and happiest years.
Then q man is his own boss.
there is no more endless routine,
and he can spend his days In
the open instead of at an ofiice.
These partisans argue that re-
tirement doesn't necessarily
mean the rocking chair. q walk
in the park, early to bed and
boredom. They point out that
some people have D wonderful
time just Floafing.
