More personal freedom result of retirement STILLWATER Okla AP Losses occur with normal ag ing but gains also come says Eleanor Keeler who teaches course on aging at Oklahoma State University Knowing realities about elderly persons can help you prepare to live during retirement Though old age is usually seen as negative time in life increased personal freedom is one result of retirement says the home economics professor person no longer has to do what someone else commands or to meet urgent demands of the clock When children leave home parents no longer have to worry about their son dropping out or their daughter turning on Since houseful of con sumers no longer depends on the aging parents smaller in come doesnt have to cover so many responsibilities Though older people have lost clearout expectations with retirement they have the potential gain of freedom Mrs Keeler terms todays el derly people pioneers for new period of life because they are the first generation where most people live past 65 FIND NEW ROLES Besides setting examples for those of us coming on these people are finding new roles ANN LANDERS 14year old keeps babbling Kg and new satisfying ways to live she says While losing spouse is pain ful once they have recovered from their grief people some times discover an incredible new life Some long marriages are less than happy with person alities submerged to meet mate expectations And life alone may lead to new freedom Commenting on the harm middleaged persons can do Mrs Keeler says Middle aged persons often decide what is good and not good for older people And this sometimes causes the older person to be come dependent Older people should have al ternatives to choose from and be free to define what is right for them Experts talk about the role less role of older persons and imply they are lost when they have no explicit directions for their lives says Mrs Keeler She encourages the elderly to be active and to speak out on their own behalf Dont settle for being secondclass citi zen PICTURE INACCURATE Seeing an elderly person as sick feeble or as nursing home patient is inaccurate even though most people even older persons may have such Dear Aim Lantlers Ive started this letter more than half dozen times and still cant figure out how to put it so Ann please bear with me while tell HER problemmy moms you my problem Actually its Im an outgoing happy alltogether 14yearold girl There are six kids in our family try not to rattle on and on when talk know how boring it can be But do like to tell my mom the fun things that happen during the day She seems interested at the beginning then in the middle of sentence shell pick up newspaper and start to read start to talk faster just to finish what Im saying Then she says Quit jabbering You sound like an idiot Yesterday was the last straw She started to read cookbook and stopped talking in the middle of sentence Mom didnt even notice dont think should talk to her any more What do you think Miss Landers Ignored Daughter Dear Daughter Keep talking honey Dont let your moms seeming indifference get you down Ill bet she really does care but maybe she has lot on her mind Just for the heck of it read her this column and ask if she has any idea who wrote the letter It may change few things around your house Dear Ann The results of your survey about having children have created controversy and discussion everywhere May add one more word Most shocking was not that 70 per cent said they would NOT have had children if they could live their lives over again but that so many people were so honest Granted there are many rewards to raising children but there are also many heartaches Although we both love children my husband and decided to remain childless after much discussion and years of soulsearching Why We were married 14 years ago because we loved each other and wanted to share life together We feel we owe no excuses for the course we have chosen yet you would not believe the harassment we have suffered because of our decision We have encountered the most vicious hostility from people with children Its almost as if they are mad at us for escaping the problems they are struggling with The major mistake is in assuming that parenthood is for everyone Judging from your survey perhaps its for only 30 per cent Sign me One Vote For Realism Dear Real Thanks for an upfront noholdsbarred letter liked it Dear Ann Landers Your response to the person who asked for suggestions on how to quit smoking was most irritating First of all what makes you an authority on the subject Youve stated repeatedly that you have never smoked You say cold turkey is the best way You could be wrong hap to be member of SmokEnders Inc and am con fident at eventually will quit smoking with the help of this great program Their approach is not cold turkey its much more human and virtua ly painless If you havent tried it Ann please dont knock it Kicking The Habit Dear Kicking SmokEnders does get results as hundreds of readers have testified since that column appeared Sorry had never heard of SmokEnders but Im glad to tell the world about any program that gets people off cigarettes Anyone who wants more information can write to SmokEnders Inc 3435 Camino Del Rio South Suite 216 San Diego Calif 92108 CONSIGNMENT AUCTION SALE Saturday Sept 76 20 Maple Ave

brief time in nurs ing homes Mrs Keeler says only about five per cent of all people over 65 live in in stitutions and most of these are over 75 years old Most elderly persons not in institutions live in their own homes usually within weekly visiting distance of relatives And more than 75 per cent of the elderly living in commu nities have no chronic health conditions They are active and mobile Since husbands tend to die be fore their wives elderly widows total almost four times as many as widowers Usually these older women live alone but about 17 per cent live with rela tives Only about eight per cent of elderly men live with rela tives HOUSING CRUCIAL Most of the elderly who live with relatives are over 75 years old and have partial or major limitations of activity and mo bility About one in five of all per sons over 65 years of age have no families to rely on For these and others choosing to live alone housing adequate to their needs is crucial issue Mrs Keeler maintains When you retire you will probably be active mobile and living in your own home for several years Getting ready for retirement and later years should be lifelong pursuit To make your retirement as rewarding as possible develop hobbies creative activities or second careers early in life Re tirement can be rich reward ing time It doesnt need to be years of unhappiness TODAYS RECIPE ORANGE PUDDING

sev eral conditions to several con trolled groups explain it dis sect it and try to isolate the trigger that initiates laughter When they have beat the entire joke into submission they fi nally concur they dont know what makes people laughonly that by this time they have stopped Interviewers throughout the years have made me selfcon scious of my laughter They are so serious in their efforts to find
