If you have maintained good physical and mental health, your physiologic age should not necessarily add up to the number of birthdays you can count. Do you dread growing old? Too bad if you do, because, like the weather, there is nothing you can do about it physically, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society observes in HEALTH TALK. Mentally, there is much that you can do. You can prepare yourself for the years that have t>een added to your life span ^fhrotigh the modern advances of •medicine. In 1850 your average life span was 40--today it is almost 70 years. Presently most people face retirement at age 65, a compulsory development of industry. Medically, this is not sound, since many people in this group are still capable of working, productively and efficiently. To a person who has devoted a great part of energy to his job, premature retirement is often like a death certificate. A feeling of usefulness and a purpose in living are extremely important to every man and woman. If, however, you are one of those to whom the rule applies, get ready for it. Plan new things.

L. 3231 Develop a hobby that will keep you interested mentally and physically. Generally older people are thought unable to learn new things.' This is not true. Prove the statement wrong by broadening your interests. Keep yourself flexible in your thinking. Disprove the popular notion, that all people up in years are cross and self-centered. Certainly older men arid -women are not cut to one pattern any more than men and women in any other age group. Indeed, how many persons do you know in the middleaged or younger aged bracket whose dispositions and emotional make-up are so hypocritical that their best foot forward is only evident when they are getting their own way? -- Keep yourself active. This is another step in the right direction to prepare for your advancing yeans. Gfit yourself a part-time job if need be. Take part in church and club activities. Keep yourself busy. Use the proverbial ' rockmg chair occasionally if you will, but don't plan to rock the rest of your life away with thoughts of what U3ed to be. - Remember that life can be fascinating or meaningless at any age. If life is interesting there is always something to live for. It is when one feels lonely and useless that life loses its meaning. As the years go by, physiologic changes take place in the human body. The skin becomes wrinkled. Walking is slower--there is less spring to the step, and the body becomes susceptible to the chronic illnesses that beset the older age population. These are natural changes which must be accepted --z -y But the way you accept ;them is what counts. Just as iittfijenv science has added years tovyour life, you are the one who can add life to your years.
