The 4O-Plus Club is one of the i've nonprof1t
agencies serving the washington area whose main
purpose is to ind jobs for older workers. Some Of
these agencies not only place people In jobs but
help train them for new positions The Importance
of restraining is emphasized by Mrs. Mary Resh Of
the United States once Of Education who explains
a problem often encountered, particularly by
women who find it necessary to go to work: I'm
many cases, women either are unframed for any
job, their previous training doesn't do them any
good. They need to be restrained. Once they
acquire new skill, it's comparatively easy for
them to get jobs They have something to offer.

geriatrics group. Some long-taken-for-gr granted
theories about older workers were debunked: They
do not deteriorate, physically or mentally, with
approaching years. Many, instead, reach their true
peak Of productivity after middle age.
In Washington we have fine examples to prove
this pont-people who after 20 or so, and even 20,
have gone back to work found jobs for the first
time in their lives Take the case Of Howard
Wheeler. who, after over so years Of writing and
editing both in and out Of the Government, retired
and started drawing pension. Today, at n, he's
back working as an information specialist with the
Public Health Service. His supervisor Frank Acosta,
explains: I'VE needed man to do this particular
job and we knew Howard Wheeler could do 1t.
He was willing to give up his pension and go back
to work, so we hired him." At the time, Mr. Wheeler
was working as a volunteer with the 4O-Plus Club.

The officer drew a 80 calibre

THE SECOND HALF VERSUS
THE FIRST

THE FIRST
Uppermost in the minds of
those FloridianS who follow close
" the activities of the S a t e
Legislatures current session, is
the fact that the lawmakers this
week went into the second half
OF the meetings of the body in the
States capital at Tallahassee.
Whether or not the second half
win produce more tangible re-
suits than the first, remains to be
seen. AT this stage of the game,
your guess is as good as mine.
LAST week, called attention
20 the fact that the current ses-
sion Of the Legislature has done
good job in selling the small
man "doWn the river, in matters
eoncerning his interest.
This week, Stephen Trumbuli,
the Miami Herald's rowing report
or, who is now covering the Leg
Stature for the Herald, offered
What I consider, a very timely
ST. lgestion for the salvation of the
mall man" in matters pertaining
to the state government. Turnbull
recommends that every small
man and Woman keep a ''black
book" on the legislature, in order
to have a handy and ready ref
erence on the manner in which
variouS Legislators, particularly
nose from the county in which
they live, vote on matters affect
ing the welfare of the small man.
Trunbull said many of our law
makers take it for granted that
the folk back home are so taken
up with other matters, that they
will forget just how the law
makers voted on various measures
whom election time rolls around.
That's where the 'Fblack book"
w c"me in handy in reminding
the small man Of just who voted
for what, when those same law
makers come around at election
time asking for the small mans
support.
The idea Of keeping some kind
Of record on Just how our SEN
atcrs and representatives voted
during the session, and Just who
stands for what, certainly makes
a lot of sense to me. Something
has to be done in order to make
our law makers realize that they
are not only reresenting the "big
boys" but the small man as we'll
and that something should be
done pronto.
In addition to keeping a rec
ord, it is also an excellent idea
for each or at least most of the
small men to write to their leg
islators occasionally to let them
know that their activities in the
legislature are beng carefully
watched by the people back home.
Writing to ones representatives
andexpressing views on various
matters is another means by
which some recognition may be
gained by the forgotten man."
Let's start this week keeping a
record on what's happening in
Tallahassee, and let's let our rep
resentatives hear from us several
times before the current session
closes.
In the House OF Representa-
tives, Dade County 10 represented
by Representatives Cliff NerreIl,
John 3. Orr Jr., and George Hol-

ator Joe Eaton. I'm writing four
