At 26, Fresno Professor Says,
You're Over the Hill, Bill
FRESNO, Cal. (UP)—A Fresno
state college associate professor of
psychology claimed yesterday you
are over the hill if you are 26 years
old.
That is the year Dr. M. Bruce
Fisher says old age begins to set in.
That is when people start losing
their strength.
From then on, he said, they just
get weaker.
Based on Study
Fisher based his statements on a
study he made in collaboration with
Dr. James F. Birren of the United
States public health service. What
they did was to measure the hand
strength of 552 industrial work
ers, ail of the men getting a lot of
exercise.
They found that the hand might
still be quicker than the eye, but
the older its owner, the weaker it
was becoming.
The research, completed when
Fisher was a senior psychologist at
the naval medical research insti
tute in Bethesda, Md., during the
war, showed strength increases up
to the middle 20’s.
Man, then, reaches his peak at
25. Life, according to the eprofes

sor does not begin at 40. At 40 a
man has been an old man for 15
years.
The decrease in strength, Fisher
said, is gradual—but it becomes
sharper as age continues. At 60,
the average loss of strength is 16.5
per cent.
All the tests were made on men,
but the psychologist pointed out
old age comes to women, too—be
ginning in that same year, the 26th.
He said other measurements of
ability, including mental agility,
also are on the down grade.

Yugoslavian affairs today, but
if the nation were not in the
Russian orbit it certainly would
, “insist on coming in.”
The recently announced "Com
inform” is merely a reaction to
the Truman doctrine, and aims
at the complementary end, he
believes.
Mr. Adamic does not believe
in the Central European and
Balkan confederation suggested
a month ago by Dr. Kurt von
Schuschnigg. When the former
Austrian chancellor was in Eu
gene, he said he felt the small
nations of Central and Southern
Europe would have to band to
gether if they were to survive.
Mr. Adamic feels that such a
union would be impossible unless
Russia and the United States
should prove they could get
along together. Otherwise, he
says, it would be a mere buffer
state, which would benefit no
party.
