You are around age so and
may wonder what develop
ments there may be over the
next five years that will
affect your plans.
Some suggest that I should
tell what ! think will be
happening over these next
five years because I've had
IL years experience with re-
tirement problems and keep
in closer touch with the sub
ject.
So here is what I see
given with the caution that
I may be wrong:
o Some form Of guaran-
teed medical care Is coming
for people past IS. I believe
it will be here in two years.
I'd give odds that it'll be
here in five. I believe it will
materialiZe from the Federal
Government, with wealthier
people supplementing with
private insurance companies.
1t likely will be tied in
with social security. 1t will
start of meagerly, get better
every time Congress meets
and be adequate for most
normal people in five years.
Q I think guaranteed med
ical care will start OF with
cries Of "socialism"-as So
cial security did-and that
10 years later the voters
would tar and feather a
political candidate who
wanted to drop (which is
about what happened on
social security.

for retirement. is on the way
out-but slowly because the
firms that underwrite PEN
sion plans, annuities. and
life insurance have the whole
business world set up on an
age-65 basis, and it'll take
time to unravel the thing.
1t seems probable that a
labor-management commit
tee in each company even
tually will decide whether
an employe goes at 10 or 55.
And the employe may get
the same pension at both
ages.

that an employe will get

For instance, her father
absolutely forbids her to park

given US reason to worry. But
so many young people have
been victims of sex maniacs
and robbers who look for
kids In isolated places. Do I
dare frighten her with these
facts? Can you put some ad-
vice into words to help us,

He Is the childish one. Look

hundreds Of older men who
have successful marriages
with young women.
I have gone out with a lot
Of men and I know for sure
that Ron is the right one for
me. I get bored with the
young ones. When I'm with
Ron we never seem to run
out Of conversation. We
would never tire Of one an
other.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Ron seems to have been
flattered out Of his wits. He
makes no positive statement
that indicates a desire to
marry Sandra, yet he ap-
pears to be teetering on the
brink Of doing it.
Although she has already
had many responsibilities in
life. Sandra undoubtedly
romanticizes about marriage
as any young girl of her age
would. She should try to be
a little more realistic. She
would not be married to Bing
or the Shah, but merely to
Ron, an ordinary man with
less energy than she has
He will not want to asso-
ciate with her young friends
and she will soon find him
tiresome. Her illusions about
him will drop away when she
finds that he can at times
be as mistaken about things
or as boring as any young
men.
Some successful marriages
Of this sort have been made,
but they are the exception.

~ in the South, and the other four
in the North and West. The proper
ton is changing every day as Negroes
continue to leave the South for areas
where they can expect full protection
of the law and full benefit of public
education. AS they move, the proper
ton of Negro urban residence rises
for almost all northern and western
Negroes live in cities. AS racial
group we are now an integral part of
Americas urban civilization.
Here is a social revolution of which
the Urban League has been part from
it's very beginning. In the early years
of this century, Negroes leaving the
South by tens of thousands marched
deep into blind alleys in such cities as
New York and Philadelphia, as we'll
as Nashville. Men were herded into
low-paid laboring jobs; women were
given the shoddiest Homework and
paid practically nothing for it; houses
of prostitution recruited many of the
inexperienced and unframed. Fresh
from the farm, lost children in big
city life, these Immigrant Negroes
were slowly rotting away.
1t was George E. Haynes, a brilliant
young Negro social scientist and the
first member of his race to graduate
from the New York School of Social
Work, who saw the need of long
range, broadly-based social engineer
ing program to help Negroes take ad-
vantage of opportunities in the city
and encourage their white neighbors to
make those opportunities available on
the basis of merit, rather than race.

of effort made in his behalf for fifty years by the
Urban League.
Even in the short period since World War II, tens
of thousands of Negroes, because of Urban League
activities have gone into jobs never before held by
members of their Think of the telephone OPP

AS far back as World War I, the League intro
duced hundreds of industrial employers to the unused
pool of Negro unskiIed and sem-skiled labor. When
these workers dropped after the war was over,
Urban Leagues in twodozen cities accepted response
bility for stubbornly finding other jobs for the dis
placed and for pushing the state employment Offices to
do their share toward unemployment of jobless
Negroes.

Require Drug Firms To Tell

Drug makers must tell doctors
more about the hazards of prescrip-

Labels on prescription drugs Of
fered doctors after January 8 must:
Give the quantity or proper
tion of all inactive as well as active
ingredients;
Bear an identifying lot or con-

Inform doctors of hazards or
limitations in using the drug or de-
vice and include these warnings in
any promotional literature; and
Tell when FDA issued its per-

In addition FDA said new drugs
can't be marketed if the drug maxi

Energy Needn't Cost
More In 1875

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(CNS)-
There's no reason why coal, natural
gas, oil, or electricity should cost any
more in 1875 than it does today, a
new book, ENERGY IN THE AMER
ICAN ECONOMY, declares.
In the book, the staff of Resources
for the Future examines the supply
of fossil fuels and falling water and
concludes: "The u. S. in 1875 could
satisfy it's demands for energy from
domestic supplies at no significant
increase in COSTS
The authors point out, however,
that what will or should happen isn't
necessarily the same as what has to
happen. The nation may, for ex-
ample. want to raise fuel prices to
spur atomic power development. But
the u. S. won't be forced to do so
by dwindling natural resources or
rising unit costs.

The story read like a cloak-and-

HEALTH,
AND WELFARE

AS this is written there are several
vacancies still to be filled. How Ken
nedy handles them will be the subject
of future comment. 1t is necessary,
however, to explain why there is so
little enthusiasm for the selection of
Gov. Abe Ribicoff to the Department
of Health, Education and Welfare.
Someone suggested that Herblock
could now reproduce all his old car
toons from the days when Oveta Culp
Hobby held the post. He used to por-
tray her as the Secretary of Not-too-
much HEW."
Unfortunately Ribicoff brings very
little more to this job than Mrs.
Hobby did. He was an efficient Gov
ernor, whose main achievements were
to improve Connecticut's roads and
reduce her highway accident toll. But
this hardly qualities him as New
Frontiersman" in the agency that
deals with the aged, the blind, the
manned and the helpless.
On the whole, however, think the
score on appointments, up to now,
is in Kennedy's favor.
