BY THOMAS COLLINS

From across America peo-
pie have been writing letters
about q man named H. T.
Mcpherson who stated some
noble views about retirement
in this column several weeks
ago. Many of the letters have
come to me. Many others
have gone to Mr.. Mcpherson
at his home in Texas.
The letters say he is mag
nificent, or misguided, in his
belief that a retired man
must not sit down in idleness
while others toll to grow his
food and make his clothes.
So this is a revisit with
Mr.. McPherson-in the form
of a letter he has written to
one Of the retired men who
wrote to him:
"You ask what I mean by
the productive work I think

Hundreds OF thousands OF
people in the United States
and Canada suffer needlessly.
They get some preconceived
notion in their minds, and
it's hard to convince them
they may be wrong.
Here are two examples re-
ceived in this mornings mail:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
have had bad rheumatic
pains for over 10 years and
have never been to a doctor.
Why waste money and time
when everybody knows that
rheumatism is a chronic dis
ease that is incurable?-Mrs.
E., Canada.
Another: Dear DR.. Stein
crohn: Coronary disease is
the number one killer, if
what / read is true. I went
to a doctor the other day
who said that an electro
cardiogram showed that the
So-called indigestion I had
was really a thrombosis at
tack. He advised me to stay
in bed for a few weeks to be
treated. But I'm back on the
Job as if nothing happened.
I'll take my chances. After
all, what can doctors really
do for heart disease?-Mr
Y, Maryland.
IN THE FIRST CASE, we
are dealing with someone
suffering from chronic hope
lessness. In the second, with
one who is more or less a
fatalist. Statistics tell us that
the first will go on for years
suffering needlessly; and the
second is inviting sudden an
Ilihilation.
If there's any moral it is
this: Don't be hopeless or
fatalistic when you are sick.

THE GOLDEN YEARS
Retiree Finds Way
To Continue Useful

is a fair question and SuScep-
tible to more than one an
swer. I had in mind work
that contributed to the ma
terial needs of my fellow citi-
zens, as distinguished from
their artistic needs, their en-
tertainment needs or even
their spiritual needs. All of
these could be supplied better
by people trained in the var
ious fields.
Something Missed
my working years were
spent in the communications
field. I had the feeling all
those years that even though
I was not growing food or
manufacturing things I was
certainly contributing to the
marketing process. After I
retired l missed more than
anything else this sense Of
usefulness to the workday
world.
"It was the one adjustment
I was unable to make. I am
not bored. I find more things
to do, interesting to myself,
than I have time for. But
the big question is: Have I
the right to devote the re-
mainder Of my life to doing
only what is interesting to
me?
els there not still a duty.
an obligation to work. not
play, as long as other human
beings are working to make
my existence possible-as long
as I am physically and men
tally able to work and as
long as many others are un-
able to work?
Health and strength carry
responsibility just as do all
other blessings Of life. and
in my view that responsibility
does not end on a certain
birthday. It does not end until
health and strength them
selves end.
II know that over-produc-
ton is a problem. and that
puttering old men have no
call to add to it, nor to un-
employment. But neither of
these lines have to be crossed
to find useful work.
To Help Hospital
For myself, I have decided
definitely to help out in the
charity ward of q hospital.
This is not production, unless
you call restored health a
product. But it will bring back
my feeling Of usefulness and
will not knock anybody out
of a job. There are many
other avenues-youth organi-
zations. systematic charity on
an individual basis, teaching
the foreign-born.
"You may be interested to
know that very. very few of
the cards and letters I have
had share my slant on this.
Nearly all have urged me to
cash in on the good fortune
of my retirement without res
ervation. I am unable to do
so. The more thought I have
given the subject-and Of
course thought has been
greatly stimulated by the
cards and letters-the clearer
seems my duty. -"
Thus does a man named
Mcpherson regard retirement
at 1924 Southwestern Boule-
ward, Dallas, Tex.
You can hardly find guys
like that anymore.

In the April issue of Traffic
Quarterly, James L. Malfetti,
of Columbia University, wrote
Most longtime safety profes-
sionals can name a scare tech
nique that launched a COM
mendable traffic campaign. But
they can also point to failure
OF succeeding doses. Inocu-
lated continuously, people be-
come indifferent and even un-
willing, particularly because the
serum is unpleasant.
II have been unable to un-
cover a single example of en-
during results from continuous
use Of scare techniques."
The AAA outlines these driv-
ing rules as the best possible
way to help reduce accidents:
l. Keep your car in the best
possible operating condition.
2. Observe the traffic laws
and the laws of common sense
Tailor your driving to existing
road, traffic and weather con-
ditionS.
3. Allow yourself to drive only
when you are in top operating
condition. Leave early enough
to avoid the laSt-minute rush
never driving more than 400
miles in one day; stopping at
least every hour and a half for
a break in driving; alternating,
If possible, with other drivers
in your party; eating lightly be-
fore leaving and while on the
road. Most important, never
drive after drinking alcoholic
beverages.
