PHONE 801 Educator Says Oldsters Still Competent In Jobs Chicago, April 2.—People should not retire simply because they have reached a certain age, ac cording to a University of Illinois professor. He believes that many of Amer ica’s oldsters still pack a valuable punch. “Our studies show that most people in their 60s are still com petent,” said Robert L. Peterson. He has advised the Office Man agement Association of Chicago to seek ways to use oldsters. He reported to them on a sur vey of 3,077 older workers in 81 Illinois industries. The survey, he said, showed: ^ —Of those studied, ©8 per cent said they’d rather keep on work ing “and die with their boots on.” —Seventy per cent of the old sters still working had a better than average record for absentee ism. —That many older workers were as effective as always. Peterson pooh-pooed the idea that people lose their intelligence in old age. It is true, he said, that oldsters who have been given intelligence tests did not score quite as well as youngsters. “But that’s probably because the older persons lost their incen tive for making a good mark,” he added. Peterson said also that in intell igence tests too much emphasis is put on arithmetical questions and that youngsters, being fresh from school, are better equipped to an swer them. He said that those who wish to retire had 'better be prepared and suggested that they have (1) a home paid for, (2) an adequate pension or $32,000 in the bank and (3) preparations for wise use of leisure. Peterson said he was against spending leisure on items called “hobbies." READ THE CHRONICLE ADS FIRST PUBLIC RECORDS A Useful Life By JAMES C. KINARD An educator was studying a small college in 'behalf of its sup porting church body. During the course of his survey he asked one of the students, “Why did you come here?” Her prompt' ans wer came, “I wanted to learn how to live a more useful life.” This little college trains many young women for church voca tions and for teaching. It de rives its support from church contributions end gifts of inter ested individuals. The majority of its students come from homes of limited financial resources. They must have outside assist ance and many of them work to help defray expenses. There are young men and women who are attracted to col lege by the alluring proapect of making money. Student solici tors sometimes stress the mono- tary values of a college educa tion. This is a point naturally to be considered. On the other more pleasing hand, it is refreshing to think that an education can produce a more usefuL life. That young woman in this small college, which must continually struggle for its existence, has set a high pattern for education. It should apply to all types of schools whether they be supported by Church or State. As long as any public or pri vate school program sets as its primary aim the developing of more useful lives it will receive the support it deserves.

Dr. Herbert Spough Everyday Counselor The course of arthritis, one of the most crippling of our modern diseases, is influenced by emotions in a marked manner, according to Dr. W. C. Alvarez, Professor of Medicine, Mayo Foundation, and prolific writer on medical subjects. He says that the worst of the more common forms of arthritis is the rheumatoid type, which used to be called arthritis deformans, because of the great tendency to deformation of the joints. Referring to the emotional factor in arthritis, he says that “dur ing World War □ many of the soldiers who thought they had ar thritis really had psychogenic rheumatism, produced by the strains of being taken from home and induct ed into service. Nothing physically wrong could be found with their joints, and in most cases, when the man was helped to face his problems with less tension and distress, he got well.” He adds, “The course of most any type arthritis can be influenced by emotion, and Dr. Cecil says that always, whenever former patients come in with a flare-up of their old pains, his first question is, ‘What upset you terribly or what broke your heart?’ Often, then, the patient will admit the joints be came sore after some tragedy in home or office.” While having no intention of invading the field of my friends, the medical doctors—I admire them greatly—my observations, extending over my thirty years in the ministry, confirm those of Dr. Alvarez. Most of those suffering from arthritis, whom I have observed, have been perfectionists with a consuming inner driver which seems to eventually bring on a kind of hopeless outlook towards life. Many of them are extremely self-centered, perhaps unconscously so. I have seen many of these sufferers acquire emotional stability through a spiritual experience. They have turned the attention away from themselves to God and their interest towards their fel- lowman. The resulting beneficial effects have been marked. Instead of repelling people with their gloom and complaints, they attract others to them. In the process of bringing happiness to others, they find it themselves, and as a result their suffering decreases in a marked manner, and often actually disappears. What we’ve said about arthritis, according to modem medical science, applies to many other diseases of the body. Our physical condition is affected in a marked manner by our inner emotions which in turn stem from negative thinking. The Bible, many years ago, said, “As he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” We could greatly help our overworked doctors if we would real ize that the cause of many of our physical ailments are due to dis torted emotions and then go to work to bring them in time with God. A doctor will tell you that he does not heal disease, but that he only treats it in a way to assist nature to do the helping. When you are ill and caU in your doctor, do your part in helping him to help na ture, which is God. to elegance in your spring shoe wardrobe. This is the year when you can walk into any shoe store and find an array that outdoes any gaily-colored Easter egg. You’ll have your choice of the brilliant shock shades oi blue, red, purple and yellow, as well as the full range of pastels and the won derful off-whites, beiges and browns.. New Shoes For Spring Are Shown New York.—Walking on eggs— Easter eggs, of course—will be no trick this spring. The news in shoes of every type is the light weight leather construction that makes you feel as if you’ve sprouted wings at your feet. And with fashion also dictating extremely simple lines and neu tral colors tor your new spring outfit, the accent will be on your shoes as you stride along with that lighter-than-air feeling in the Blaster Parade. Color, texture and slim design are the theme that lights the way You’ll also find real excitement in new leathers that are woven, printed and patterned. You can choose between a black-and-white woven leather pump, a polka-dot or striped dressy shoe in kid, suede or patent leather, a beauti ful plaid leather shoe with a mat finish as smooth as velvet—and others in crushed, grained and embossed leathers, and the trans lucent and luster leathers. The lightweigh construction ex tends even to flats. These are as delicately worked as the dressier shoe, with slim leather sole and styling that hints at the Italian in fluence. Of course, no one shoe will do for a spring wardrobe. There’s a heel, a color, a silhouette and a leather for every occasion and ev ery time of day. The new two-inch heel height, termed the ‘‘bobbed heel,” is new for all types of shoes from the daytime pump to the eve ning mule. The flat with the wedged or stacked leather heel is fashion-right for afternoons in the city as well as for suburban; and the high heel today is needlepoint thin. But if you prefer the regu lation spectator or opera pump, they’re available in all heel heights as in former years. The open look in footwear abounds tor daytime as well as evening. Take the mule-type shoe, which will walk in the Easter Pa rade this year in many variations. Sometimes it discreetly covers the toe and bares the heel, or it may be just an instep-banded mule. Another variation is the mule that is Just a flexible leather sole and a stiletto heel magicalty held to the foot with a series of the thin nest leather straps.
