oine some Examiner trlday May 1976 Doctors employers aim attention Quota members initiated Mrs first vice Persi president The Quota Club of Barrie Henderson on senior citizen and retirement After 45 years the 65 ear old factory foreman ceans out his locker tucks his lunch box under his arm bids his coworkers goodbye and pun dres the clock for the last time Among mistyeyed friends he opens his gifta clock radioand though sentiment is genuine at the time of his retirement party snapshots and pledges to get together fail to recapture the years Retirement To the young it sounds like fun times Butit is dten threat to the middle aged and an ugly word for the elderly Traditionally theres an en ding implied in the word retirement as the worker ceases to be needed in the way he is accustomed And unless he is prepared old age becomes the inevitable role he succumbs to later because society has assigned him to it In the past youthlessness has been equated with uselessness The National Courier reported in its March issue that it is part of the nonChristian message of the pagan American culture an individual has worth as long as he is employed by the in dustries we venerate NEW ATTENTION But now retirement is receiving new attention from doctors social workers and employers who are sw inging their attention from young people who cry you dont understand me to the sector of society which simp Iy says you dont need me Being needed is having to get up every day for work How do you tell people who were raised on the philosophy that idleness is the devils playground that they can relax and still be needed It is in this way attitudes are changing There is an awareness that preparation for retirement is essential for healthy old age One leads to the other Locally

courses in geriatrics studies such as creatively in the elderly Studies have shown that creativity and imagination are at their peak when seniors have feeling of men tal wellbeing or that it is okay to be retired The art constructive lay which is often attribute only to the young does not have to decline with age Dr Copas Barrie psychiatrist agrees that we are now acce ting the elderly with the ole gamut of thoughts and feelings Tomorrows seniors may be happier lot if they learn now to prepare for retirement Clearly the person who is best prepared is the emo tionally welladjusted and one who has been able to diversify and to avoid the tendency to narrowing of in terests that often occur When we cannot ski downhill we should try crosscountry skiing or even snowmobile Tennis and squash can be replaced by golfing or fishing he said Keeping involved then is the obvious solution but an answer not always easy to find For people who didnt belong to boy scouts as youngster or to the rotary Club later or to church group it is harder for them to joiner after they retire Dr Copas said among feelings of loneliness when retiring is the feeling of guilt Even more guilt is laden on those who dont feel successful with their lives As Dr Theodore Bose said 12 years ago when the old age syndrome became news pathetically they seem to feel that the world still owes them something and they are
