Perhaps, too, in so doing, we will be setting the stage for eurselves, by setting an example to our own children. Let us not forget it will be our turn to be old soon, and it‘s later * _ There are many advantages in cultivating the friendship of blder people. Aren‘t their calm faces more relaxing than any tranquilizer pills we could buy? Wouldn‘t it be niee to have their confidence, poise, and ability to restrain themselves from hurry? Perhaps we can, if we spend more time in their eompany, listening, studying, thinking. In so doing we will bring happiness into their lives f6r more than anything else older people need to feel wanted, needed, useful. _! _ They are nearly always willing to help with our problems «in many cases the same problems they experienced. We often overlook the value of this experience and blindly stumble into situations we could have avoided. One elderly lady of our acquaintance cannot stand the habit many of us have nowadays of "running a subject right into the ground," as she so aptly p\‘ts it. When she‘s around, the conversation sparkles, and before a topic reaches saturation point she bravely speaks up, "Let‘s change the subject". (Most Of the time we‘re glad to.) That‘s what I mean â€" they‘re individualists. Over the years their personalities have had flp\e to develop to full maturity. I like the downâ€"toâ€"earth attitude of our old people. They‘ve come to the place where they seem to be able to look at life objectively. Their outlook is uncluttered by social aspirations, love of money, or the need to impress anyone. Buckingham Palace Ball Another elderly friend of mine, who has since passed on, once told me a fascinating story of how she and the doctor (her husband) went to a ball at Buckingham Palace. A real life fairy story! I remember how she finished off the tale by saying that when the footman slammed the door of their carriage just before they drove off home, she felt just like Cinderella must have felt â€" after the ball! I used to like to get Mrs. Wheeler to tell how she met Mr. Wheeler. The dear old soul would then reâ€"live those days while she told a lovely story of an oldâ€"fashioned courtship; about nosegays received; and she‘d chuckle over the part played by her fan! An old album contained evidence of lovely gowns worn then and we‘d laugh at the legâ€"o‘mutton sleeves and the hats which looked exactly like baskets of fruit! a thousandfold. Stories of bygone days, dramatic moments they have lived through, "personalized" history of the district, old wars, kings and queens they have known (and perhaps even met!). Giving pleasure to the old folk by 7taking the timeTo play chess, cribbage, checkers or similar games with them is repaid We in our Western world may ignore "the old ones" and consider their great age a handicap socially as well as in busiâ€" ness, but in the Orient â€" China in particular â€" age is treated with deference, honor, respect and consideration. In fact, a popular greeting there is "What age are you?" instead of our "How do you do?" Their young ones are heard to refer to the "acient ones" in reverent tomes as "my venerable grandâ€" parents". _ It is good to see our country slowly beginning to recogâ€" nize the fact that the higher percentage of old ones found in our population toâ€"day need care of a special kind. Some of them prefer to live with those of their own age, in which case the Homes for the Aged are an excellent answer. These "homes" are sometimes institutions, while others are the gracious homes of byâ€"gone gentry. An elderly lady I know is happily settled in a lovely old home in the country, along with others in her age group (80)). She is quite the most popular "oldester" there because she plays the piano for the singâ€"songs they have occasionally. Not only that but she radiates happiness because her children are considerate of her. Occasionally they take her out to dinâ€" ner and arrange between themselves to have someone in the family visit her each week. A Hug And A Kiss My grandmother had a corner in our kitchen back home where she sat and read, knitted, played with the cat and drank tea. I had a special girlâ€"friend who also became quite "special" with grandmother too. Janet, who, when she would come to call for me to play jacks, skip rope, (or whatever) would always first dash out to the kitchen to see "granny" (as she ealled her). She would give her a hug and a kiss and shout out a greeting of some sort. (Grandmother was deaf.) This lovely gesture of Janet‘s gave so much pleasure to the old_dear, A Wish For Wisdom Every family should have the joy of contact with grandâ€" parents â€" their own or someane else‘s. How often we have secretly wished to possess the wisdom of extreme age in our youthful minds; and yet â€" the respect we show for our elders, many of which have that great knowledge for which we yearn, is sadly lacking. % It doesn‘t do to ignore them either. As a flower opens under the sun‘s warm rays, our "old ones" thrive and blossom into something auite wonderful with even a little attention. There is nothing more stirring than to come into contact with old people who are happy and contented. Everyone (at any age) wants to be needed. "Mother, arrange these flowers for me will you dear? . . . Would you have time to sew on a button ? . .. Have you any suggestions to perk up Junior‘s grades at school?" Then the little ones . . . "Granny, read me a story? You read the best. d‘ya know it? . .. Grandaddy â€" tell about when you were a boy! . . ." This closelyâ€"knit pack of humanity living in too close quarâ€" ters needs a lot of "give and take" from both sides." It can be done, mind you, but the young parents should set an example. Unquestionably this is difficult because presentâ€"day living asks a lot, in time and effort, of our "young marrieds"â€"leaving little time for anything but the bare routine essentials at home. If the young father and mother wisely show deference and affection for their elders, then of course the young will follow suit. Conversely, a lack of respect, love and considerationâ€" an inclination to "boss" them and treat them as though they were children â€" is quickly mimiced by the tiny ones and the result is sad indeed. Any living creature that is browâ€"beaten or shown little love and affection, shrivels up. Modern bunfglows are not built to house four or five children and a set of grandparents too. Of course, circumâ€" stances have forced it on some families, but it doesn‘t work out for the happiness of either generation unless an extra room or so is allocated to the use of the "oldsters" so that their privacy and those of the family can be respected. The two "camps", you might say, are going through life at a different pace, and if too closely thrown together at least some frietion seems inevitable. I would say that, generally speaking, the bodily needs of our elders are fairly well looked after. As to their mental happiness â€" well, that‘s quite a different story. Statistics tell us people are living longer now than they used to. Consequently we have more old people around than we had, say, twenty years ago. The reason seems to be the miracle drugs. That and the more scientific care they get in the Homes for the Aged and other similar institutions. s »=Enjoy Them!
