Others will clîass it as just another year witli many of tlie, samie old p)roblem-s oaly tu be voiced, in somte cases, lnaa dnifferent imaniner. There is littie doubi ihat for Caniadianis in general the staging of Expo '67 la Motreal was the big feature of the year. This too, f'or Canada, was inost ouistanding and gaine-d across the world recognition above any of tbe pre- vJouis World Fairs. Il lias set.new patteras and new goals for achievement. Poliiically new horizons bave been reaclied in social administration sucli as aew divorce legislation, abortion legisiation, abolition of thie deatli penalty etc., many which Ù) the past have been la an area of ta-boo. Tbe era of John Diefenbaker came lu an ead tb be replaced wîth a sofi Npoken and calculating Robert Slanfield. Provincially the Goverament bas taken a big step in increasing social welfare la tlie field of Medicare, bous- inig, legal aid, crop insuranca etc. The year bas possibly seen the greatest array of hand ouls to corne fromi any gov- erameal la sucli a Ieriod. Locaily thlere' was littie change, even witli a aew cojuncil. Maay of the samne problems exist as witli the year 1966 ia planning, building by-laws, appointment to tlie Comnmittee of Adjusîment and no doubt some olliers. The Police Trustees' program was a continuance of former years. The future - no great radical changes ollier than la thie fîeld of education where public and higli scliooi boards la a county will be abolisbed for one Board of Education. We may also see, la 1968, an end to tlie Police Village con-' cept as one of tlie first steps iowards Regional goveramat. Aithougli we step into, a aew year we cannot shake off the past for mucli of it will be carried iato tlie year 1968. This, of course, is the way il sbouid be . . . respons- ibilities carry on as do challenge to make life the more ýinteresting and tlie more rewarding. A Happy New Year to everyone. - RetirmentDilea- -Not everyone can adapt to a life of idieness brouglit un by retirement, especially if il means a curtailment of Iheir living standards. This is a point tliat sliould bave the consideration of society - thie company, tlie union and the ±etiremenl plan, Dr. Irvin S. Wright of Corneli University Medical CoJ1lege, bld the wiater meeting of the American Medical Association at Houston last monîli. Because science lias extended life and poiential use- fulaess, lie coatended, §ociety and science have created an artificial and painful dilemma for Ihose wbo dislike quit- ting useful pursuils - people wlio are the opposite of those who relisi the idea of fulfilling long-standing dreams of a litfe of leisure. In many cases, Dr. Wrighit submilted, supporters. of cmpulsory retirement plans shut ibeir eyes to tlie loss ini talent to tlie economy, and the loss to tbe individual, botli financial and psychological. He opined that present prosiýects for increasing Iûngeviiy made the philosopliy of arbitrary retiremeat at age 65 a questionabie one. At the tura of. the century, Dr. Wright said, w'len arbitrary retiremeat became a matter of public discussion, tbe life expectancy was 48. Today il is over 70. The future coulId make arbibrary age even miore uraite since 65 could become realiy middle age, Dr. Wrighit predicted. Yet the trend today is to lower the reliremnent age, net raise it. The Corneil professor secs a remendous aumber of people above bbc age of 65 if medîcal science finds the answer tobc rtrychggngdisease of atherosclerosis. "And ell lb m-ighit," lie says. Todiay thepre are 20 millionAmrcn above the age of 65 and 1)y,,bbc year 2,000 the 'UnibetLd States wili have 65 million people over 65.
