Sub-committees in each of the twenty-four congressional districts from the news media have selected the best essay in each of three divisions from their respective districts. The final seventy-two essays are being judged by Secretary Howlett's Bicentennial com­ mittee that selected the win­ ners in the Bicentennial License Plate contest held last year. The committee, consisting of business, professional and civic leaders, will narrow the essays to the best in each division. A grand champion named this fall will be awarded at $1,000 educational savings bond.

She saw an advertisement in a newspaper in Huntington, West Virginia, where she has lived most of her life. An innovative program was looking for staff assistance. Mrs. Seiber answered the ad. During the years since, she has helped the growth of a program that does a tre­ mendous amount of good for elderly shut-ins living in a three-county-- hopefully, soon to be a four-county -- area in southwestern West Virginia, near the Ohio state line. The purpose of the pro­ gram, now funded by the West Virginia Commission on Aging, simply, is to pro­ vide basic services --trips to the doctor, check cash­ ing, shopping trips --for elderly shut-ins who function well inside their homes, but not outside them. The serv­ ice is provided by part-time aides, also older persons who are paid with public funds and supervised by Mrs. Seiber. Her background and train­ ing are in nursing, but she has developed the determina­ tion and know-how to pick a way through the maze of problems that her elderly charges have. She matches problems that need solving with the public programs available to help solve them. She got into her effort "be­ cause it seemed like some­ thing challenging and differ­ ent. I have no hesitancy about going to any program that can help my people. I don't know why you should be ambitious at, 60, but I am. One of her aides is 76 and drives many miles each week in her own car visiting her shut-ins. Another who is 75 works in Huntington, which is West Virginia's largest city, and makes her rounds on foot. Aides are allowed to work only four hours a day and have a caseload of be­ tween 80 and 100 people. Some may be visited once a month. Others are visited more often, depending on their individual situation. There are obvious personal rewards from this kind of service work. Sometimes, in these days of runaway price increases, Mrs. Seiber's elderly clients show how an achievement can triumph over hard reality. "We had one lady not long ago." she says, "who we took to a grocery store for the first time in. four years, and she was thrilled to death." THE UNITED nations recently did a study of "nor­ mal" retirement ages of women and men around the world. Normal retire­ ment age was defined as the stated age of retirement ^ac­ cording to public policy. In Norway and Ireland, both men and women retire at 70. Retirement ages then ranged downward to 55 for women and 60 for men in countries such as Russia, Japan, Italy and Yugoslavia. In some countries those engaged in heavy work, such as mining, could retire earlier than oth­ ers. In Australia, if a man is unemployed for more than^ one year, he may retire at* age 60. • • » • »\ WHILE MOST intern^ who work in congressional offices in Washington ai^| college students, 88 Coip necticut men and women, all over 60, spent a weekf this spring as participants in the state's third annual senior interns program.
