Problems Of Old Age
And Retirement Receive
Greater Attention

medical and sociological view
points, figured high on the agenda
of a recent medical congress in
Stockholm which was attended by
about 300 physicians. Professor
Arvid Wallgren, noted pediatri-
clan, pointed out in his opening
address that the Swedes now live
longer on an average than per-
haps any other people in the
world. While half a century ago
the normal lifespan was fifty-five
years, it has now increased to
seventy. This situation was at
tributed to a first-rate medical
care and high standards of living
and of education. Other speakers
observed that large values would
be salvaged if for part of those
reaching sixty-five, the retirement
age, could be raised by only one
or two years.

Until the advent Of radio and radar.
many made their living from the
wrecking trade; now fishing is the
principal occupation. Many Of the
original settlers came from Virginia
and Maryland during Colonial times,
and nearly every family can boast a
hero of the Coast Guard service. The
